Celebii for Mew?

But with sports you actually have the chance to accomplish something by becoming good at it. "I'm good at Contra" doesn't do anybody any good. When did writing become a competitive thing?

Spending 8 hours walking around in circles or studying frames of animation for a combo sounds dreadful. No thanks.

Contra's not a competitive game though (I mean directly, aside from high scores and times). But if it were, both would give you some small pipe dream of professional circuits and sponsorships, as stupid as that sounds. Regardless of that, even people not looking for professional play would begin to enjoy higher levels of competition. People who get reasonably good at soccer have more fun by playing other people who are reasonably good, and it escalates from there. Ditto for competitive video-games. Only one also makes you healthier and more socially acceptable, but whatever.

If it isn't, then I have been horribly misguided by all my professors in entering fiction competitions. Also, since unsolicited publishing was first invented.

Point is, people can play competitive Pokemon if they want. The games are clearly made to facilitate it. Oh, and at least it's not Warcraft.
