You have a number of points to allocate in stats, more or less (stats are modified by two values, one comes from "creation" and that's a part of why breeding is so huge, along with transmitting moves or natures a Pokemon wouldn't normally have; and the one I'm talking about), which are granted by battling wild Pokemons. A specie gives a set amount of points in a stat, so you want to plan what you're going to fight, run from the rest, etc. until you've allocated all your points.
It's important because when Pokemons are planned to one-shot the opposition, you want to attack first. Iirc there's also a lot of switching involved (and you need Pokemons able to withstand a hit for this), moves that set "traps" which hurt or poison Pokemons when they're switched in, and mindgames around when you're switching, what you're expected to switch into, the moves your opponent is likely to use, etc. (some moves prevent switching (or running away if it's against a wild Pokemon) but I don't think they're used? There's also a move which is weak, but if used the turn the enemy switches out, you have priority to hit the current Pokemon and the move gets a huge power boost).

I need someone to explain how this isn't just pure rng I'd guess its all about the preperation to get the rng as much in your favor as possible. Looks like all the people are using the same 5-6 pokemon 0.0 Tiers in Pokemon are a very real thing. Base stats, move pools, type advantage, synergy, etc. all matter a lot.
RNG is a thing, such as crits or misses. However, there's still a lot of decision making to do and a lot of ways to optimise your play. It's like how RNG with your draws is a thing in Hearthstone or MtG. Sure it exists, but you can play in a way that maximises you EV.

Since when has RNG been the same as RPS?
Pokemon is more like a fighting game than a card game.

Think reddit is mainly US people and US people seem to hate China for some reason. My country is bending over and presenting our asshole for a ripe fucking by China anyway. I don't really mind, my friend is rather mad about it but whatever. At least they putting money into the country. Every big power is shit at the end of the day. Just got to pick which poison you like the most.

Because the stupid fucking media tricks people into being afraid of China for nonexistant reasons and idiots believe it. One more thing to distract the masses.

China does some really fucked up things.
Americans do some really fucked up things too. Americans just also like to try and claim the moral high ground despite not being much better in a practical sense.
