I just finished the regular story mode of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond! This is going to be a twitter thread of wonky stuff I ran into and my opinions on the game.

@AnderzzTV Dude I complain about this in every survey they send out. Last year they reworked the entire ping system and a bunch of plant-sites to try and stop post-plant spam… just to introduce Tejo with an iPad and infinite delay. It literally feels like teams at riot don’t work together

2020 Jett: has a clear problem mechanic, let's nerf everything but that mechanic over the next year and half and pretend it will be impactful 2022 Chamber: has a clear problem mechanic, let's nerf everything but that mechanic over the next year and pretend it will be impactful 2026 Neon: ...

@CrystalLaserYT There are thousands or some of these, we have the pictures of a seller selling off massive 5ft x 5ft + bins filled with them lol.

@GridVGC Thats somewhat accurate given what TRU Arceus goes for, $10k+ plus these days, or some whack job is selling one for $75k+. These werent just sold in a stores, there are only a few hundred and they were supposed to be destroyed after use.

Someone on Facebook selling a complete set of NFR/Distro carts for USA/North America and is asking $125,000 😭

@AnAverageGamerX Cause he’s out of his mind is all I can think? Some of these are maybe 3 or 4 thousand in immaculate condition but the math still doesn’t math

@GridVGC im so confused. why so much?

12-3, top 200 on day 1 of the global challenge chat we're so back lfg

@Chosler @RexProfessor bro has never stood up for anything before lmfao

@RexProfessor Regardless of the ruling, this is a ridiculous engagement farming take

The most important thing that can be taken from this is that Firestar requested a short break in the event of a bracket reset to calm his nerves and was denied it. He was later PUNISHED for these nerves affecting his reactions to the games. What an insane denial of accessibility.

@Virusanity @RexProfessor First tweet in a week and its to ball-coddle the hall monitors 🤔 All you dogshit judges are such pussies lmfao, come out on main and share your thoughts so we can dunk on you or else please refer to below:

@RexProfessor Apologize for doxxing the judges.

@samonpolos41663 @playpokemon He has stayed relatively quiet during all of this, all things considered. His full document is much tamer than I would have been in his situation lol

@GridVGC @playpokemon I honestly see any statement from firestar to be highly motivated by the attention he is getting. Stories will be more extreme. It us a scrappy situation, but this is how professional children's games work.

"In total, I spent just over an hour waiting on a final result, just for the result to be given to me by a judge simply handing me the second place medal with a grimace." Hall monitor mentality lmao. Every judge involved in this decision should be banned from @playpokemon

@AtmaDaemon @touchstone2114 @Firestar73_ @playpokemon I was thinking more along the lines of the information sent from the judges to the higher ups at playpokemon that had to make the forum/announcement post - and relevant internal communications relating to that

@GridVGC @touchstone2114 @Firestar73_ @playpokemon What in the world do you expect to get in discovery? It's likely all the communication around his game loss was done verbally between judges discussing the penalty.

Thanks for all the support once again. After researching and organizing my thoughts, I am posting my official entire experience at this tournament, proposing rule changes for the future, and looking over the current state of judging as a whole. docs.google.com/document/d/1QZ…

it aint much but it's honest work (2000 rating 👽)

@AmourShipping @RexProfessor Sharing a public name visible on the stream credits isn’t doxxing you chuddette

@RexProfessor Now apologize for doxxing judges.

@AVRhits Congratulations 🎉 always nice seeing someone extremely qualified get a position like this 😄 I am looking forward to any agent you are involved in!

Happy to announce that I’ll be an Agent Designer for VALORANT! 🎉 Loved the game since beta, competed since 2021 VCT Challengers, worked on Game Analysis, and will now join the design team at Riot Games! Excited to work on balance changes, reworks, and new agents with the team!

Good idea putting chat into subscribers only mode so that no one can talk about how you robbed @Firestar73_ of his championship. Smart move. #JusticeForFirestar

@Gaelpo0 @SirToastyToes Still have the entire stack lol, they obviously expired years ago and the servers aren't even up anymore but they're cool to look at

@GridVGC @SirToastyToes u still got any?

Funny prank for them to make this Zygarde miss a ribbon if you redeemed it in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon instead of Sun and Moon (by being obtained at Level 100 it can't level up 30 times to get the Footprint Ribbon)

@spacedaddygang @Twilite0 💀this rage bait shit is easyyyy

@GridVGC @Twilite0 Being an immature copycat bitch doesn’t look good on you Retard

Can we fucking not dawg? I’m being so fucking serious can we not

@Poijz They just put a bunch of names on a wheel and spin; no hate to literally anyone, but last year people with 1/20th your youtube engagement got chosen. There’s no rhyme or reason to it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m not upset by this. I’ve worked so hard the last 12 years to be recognized by Pokemon as a creator. Someone who worked their butt off. 2 years in a row. Makes me wonder if I should even continue at this point.
