Incredible time this weekend at Pokemon #NAIC2025 My best placing to date being a Day 2 / Top 32 at an IC is still surreal. The Pokémon GO community is the best. Everyone who I played was awesome and met so many cool people throughout the weekend! Truly an event I won’t forget!

@GG__YGO Former YGO and current GO player here. I understand the sentiment with the rules, but the games are so different. GO is effectively a fighting game. Very fast paced and quick decision making. He pulled a huge upset and had a rush of emotions. Pop off was understandable

This is the most "why I play Yugioh" post I've ever seen

@JiNz8810 Absolutely. This is the correct take imo lol

@JustWilHud TCG was yeah he needed like 5-6 complete actions to take so thats not okay imo. GO was the game was done and the headset was tossed to the table. It looked like it was a little hard but def not a game loss behavior.

If this ruling was made based on what happened in TCG to be consistent, they are not the same. In TCG, the game was not over. Actions had to be competed even if the player had game. In GO, it was over. The charged attack was thrown and he did the minigame Hope we get a statement

@JiNz8810 The two games are different, it’s very hard to compare. But I’ve had my hands in about every TCG over the years. You have to complete your play. I can’t always assume my opponent knows I have game. He should have made the attack, then celebrated. Firestar did nothing wrong imo

@JustWilHud 100% showing three cards from his hand in TCG is like "oh i have a lethal charge move loaded", but decided to not to throw and walked off the table in GO. and thats why I more or less agree with the judge in TCG. Its controversial tho.

Also the TCG situation disrupted the board state. Both situations are very unfortunate, but this is grand finals and the game has concluded. Again, I hope this gets resolved.

@thehurricanekaz I was so sad seeing Farfetch’d was banned 😭 it would have been so much fun

This is Farfetch'd slander, but all the other normal birds still allowed 🤩 #PlayPokemon #NAIC2026 #PokemonGO #Pokémon

You see how much firestar was shaking? Clearly nervous and pulled a win against one of the world’s best. Being on stage is so tough, but then winning a game 5 reset? You can’t be excited for that? Absolutely terrible ruling.

@J1GGLYBUFF727 You played so well!! Day 2 is a massive accomplishment. Congrats!!

Very excited for my best performance at a regional and making day 2 at a regional! Appreciated everyone’s kindness and look forward to more tournaments. Good luck to the remaining competitors! #PlayPokemon #PokemonGo

@LegalizeSmawler Interesting! I’ll have to try it out. Big fan of Panda lol

@JustWilHud didn’t hit most of the matchups that i needed the panda for so i only brought it once or twice, but when i did bring it it did its job. it’s mid on its own but has some excellent synergy with Aegislash.

33rd/174 at Orlando. feels like i could have gone a lot further if i played a little better, but i got to have some great sets against great opponents and i’m pretty confident this gets me just enough points to make worlds! Aegislash is the VGC Incineroar of Pokemon GO.

@kazambolt All 3 games are unique and have their place and fan base. To suggest the largest IP in the world can’t support their biggest game more without destroying another is a wild take. GO continues to be slept on for how much it takes to play/get into because it’s the “tap tap game”

@phoenixthaboss Always so much hate for GO on the circuit, it’s crazy. Each game is different in how it plays, it’s hard to compare. But I don’t think TCG players realize just how hard GO actually can be to get into/play at a competitive level.

They’re not. It’s gonna stay, Get bigger and just piss y’all off even further. Cry us a river, build a bridge and get over it.

@9pablocuesta9 @swaggron333 Sure, lag is an issue. That’s what judges and disputes are for. Very unfortunate, but in a game based on live feedback, a dropped frame can happen. The 3 games are unique and require different skills. But I’ll take a random chance in lag over poor prizing RNG in TCG any day

@swaggron333 VCG y TCG son disciplinas COMPETITIVAS, GO no lo es, la razón es simple: el lag, han pasado 10 años donde perder 1 solo ataque rápido es perjudicial, donde en campeonatos regionales o internacionales se pierden muchos minutos en establecer si afecta o no todo por el lag.

No entiendo el desprecio que le tienen jugadores de otras disciplinas a GO. Lo he escuchado muchas veces y la mayoría sin tener idea de cómo va. Soy fan del tcg, vcg y GO y claro que hay algunas más difíciles y retadoras que otras, pero todas tienen su encanto en lo suyo. Puede gustarte una más que otra, pero de ahí a sentirte superior por eso lo encuentro ridículo.

@phoenixthaboss Def a safe build lol fyi, there’s a way to have the app show you with BB calculated in if you wanted to see where it falls in those rankings

Will Medicham actually be back next season? Do I finally have an excuse to build this after years of sitting on it?

@Jason2890PoGo @pogodomz Ahhh, I see now. It’s hard to tell, still a little rough around the edges for sure. Hopefully we’ll get a better feel for the new change soon

@JustWilHud @pogodomz Rewatch the video. Scizor threw at 6 vs Drifblim at the beginning of the video, yes, so Drifblim *should* have sneaked. However, Drifblim did not sneak. The 4th Astonish was still coming through when Scizor threw when a 5th should have gone through if it worked properly.

New System Gameplay (with Charge Attack Bubble Animation Removed) 👀 #PokemonGo #GoBattleLeague It feels like the battle timing is desyncing while the match keeps progressing. Extra fast moves are sneaking through, the timing feels off, and some damage doesn’t seem to register correctly. Even the damage transfer at the end from Charizard to Pidgey looked a bit off. Definitely a communication error between both phones and the system is playing catch-up. Hopefully it gets cleaned up in the coming weeks. I honestly wouldn’t mind another interlude until it’s officially fixed. 🫡

@JackRo92 As a new dad as well, I love to see this 🩷 hope you enjoyed EUIC!

2-2 at EUIC. Welcomed my little Cynthia into the world 11Months ago, and had decided straight away to use some of her pokemon for Euic(before milotic and spiritomb gained popularity usage). My Wife and Daughters patience to let me play means everything to me. Love you both.. x

Don't know what to use this weekend? The masterclass guide to my TOP 4 Toronto team is available! For just $15 you can access 10+ sets worth of gameplay from a 5-1 and 8-0 challenge. Includes a link to a google drive with all the replays and a walkthrough of the team strengths, weaknesses, and best lines! DM on twitter or discord @nitetimeclasher if interested!

@FrostFire14 I believe it only counts when you earn a candy, so regardless if you get an XL or not it should only count once. Unfortunate, this is a long task with a legendary/mythical as your trainee.

So I assume this bonus doesn’t help but does anybody know if it only counts candy or if I can get more this event with Candy XL?

@Chrispyy20 Absolutely worth it. Get that best buddy ribbon 💪🏼👍🏼

Worth it right? Pls tell me I’m not coping
