Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Our priorities are, in order, stopping global warming and catgirls that can successfully survive and support themselves. Literally no other potential advancement matters.
Of course, ideally we would make catgirls that stop global warming, but...
Stopping global warming is much more realizable at the time. Catgirls, with minimum collateral, will require immense amounts of biotechnological information that we simply don't have right now.
Yes it is.
