Fire Emblem is terrible for online

Yes, obviously I knew you were going to say this, but it doesn't change the fact that you will know what to do against certain types of characters (Pokémon) after a certain time.

This is why I hate online games with characters that have different stats on each of them. They add attributes on certain characters and they remove them on some others to compensate with certain types of weapons they can only wield and stuff like that. At a certain limit of the game, the balance isn't somewhat balanced, if you know what I mean.

Wow, I think I know why I hate playing online in general. Some people just know how to screw up the system. o_O

It's not a matter of people screwing it up.  It's just a matter of other people being better at playing it than you.

It's like getting mad at someone playing Chess against you for moving her queen in 8 directions while you only move yours in 4 directions.  Just because you didn't take the time to prepare and read all the rules doesn't mean they should lower themselves to playing at your level.

Being better at grinding to the max level and repeat the same patterns all the time? Good for them, but it's what I call an easy win. Can you really be proud of your win? Do they even realize that when it takes less than 2-3 minutes to complete an online match with no trouble at all, it's just not fun anymore? Unless those people are sadists...  (And that's what they are if you ask me.)

Also, that Chess example is a bit extreme. Sure, they shouldn't take it easy on you since you're a beginner, but beginners will get better at one point and adapt to the different play styles. Then, the pattern I just said above is going to repeat itself. That's exactly it, it takes time to get to the top of your game and realize everything you can exploit in the game, but once you do, isn't it redundant?

It's not fun when you start and lose all the time, it's not more fun when you're "good" because there's no challenge anymore.
