One of the nicest people I've ever had the privilege to know. Would light up any room he was in. Rest easy, Paul. You're sorely missed by all of us.

After being farmed for content by Wolfe this week, I thought it was a funny VGC milestone. What are some other VGC milestones that aren’t performance dependent?

Thanks, as always, to @Dimsunlight for being the best mentor, friend, and cheerleader (and for the team...); @sdg_ryo for prepping with me this week and company this weekend, and everyone I played or interacted with for being great. Love you all, see you in September 🫶

Finished 8-4 for 73rd. Once again not quite good enough this weekend, but for the first time in a while feel like I have some concrete understanding of what to work at. Progress!

It was an absolute privilege to get to reg my favourite Pokémon for a tournament after all this time, and even better to make Day 2!

I’m convinced VGC players are drones incapable of original thought, how is he making a new wierd team every time like am I missing something

@SturdyGraveler No more "must grind a different £70 game to obtain this Pokémon in champions" please and thank you, shouldn't have been a thing for Floette either

With all the mythicals being accessable in ZA and Mega Floette being playable in regulation M-A. I think there's and actual chance that M-B or M-C we can play Hoopa-U and Volcanion at an IRL event

I finished 1701 rating with Mega Heracross in the GC and at one point was top 500, but I guess 1700s was a spot for many as my final placement was above 2000 😅 Still proud of the the first GC finish above 1700 since late SwSh 💪

Fun stream tonight! Thanks to all who watched! We hit ultra ball tier with Mega Starmie, here’s the team I’ve been using 😅 I’m having a lot of fun with it. Shout out to @CertainLightVGC for the help building it. I’m determined to get to Master Ball tier with it 🎉

@45mice In general I am extremely team "Your opponent is human and both very disappointed and wants to get off stage asap, shake their hand, thank them for the game, THEN celebrate properly" but there is really very little wrong with this. It's finals and he barely even did anything?

What are players expected to do after winning close games? Sit and clap quietly? There needs to be a line but it’s not remotely close to this. Let people be excited about their wins.

AXN@ItsAXN

After a long loser's bracket run, @Firestar73_ wins a decisive game 5 to win the Orlando Regional Championship. Allegedly this celebration was unsportsmanlike, resulting in a game loss and giving NTC The win. I'm at a loss for words, I feel so bad for firestar.

Not had an optimal start to Phase 2, but glad to be back amongst it and looking forward to coming back and scrapping for every game again in the morning. Stream was fun, nice to get some redemption for a lot of losses I've taken on camera 😅 Tomorrow comes!

(4/3) It would have been so easy to do this right. Announce Reg I on the 1st as normal and say how much notice we'll have of switching to Champions. Instead we have delays and uncertainty and it just feels like there's no respect for our time, effort, or emotional investment.

Example: I'm not going to Prague, but I plan on going to Utrecht. Should I prep for Reg I? It's on a date where the Asian circuits are moving to Champions. Will it be finalised by the time signups go up on RK9? What should I do in the meantime? What a horrendous mess. (3/3 end)

I normally stop short of openly criticising the running of the circuit, because I think running it when you have to work around development timescales that shift is hard, but this is SUCH a wholly unsatisfactory announcement I feel it warrants it. (1/3)

Been thinking about this, elec terrain mega Raichu would actually be kinda sick. It creates fun dynamic in the mirror where raichu mega gets soft checked by other raichu not mega since you’d be lightning rod raichu. Very cool!

Squirly@SquirlyVGC

Looks like Mega Raichu X may have Electric Surge! In the champions trailer, it appears no electric terrain is present as it mega evolves, but when it cuts to Raichu attacking, electric terrain is present, implying Raichu's Electric Surge activated after mega evolving.

2016 vs 2026 at EUIC with @tapu_kyriakou

@ChuppaVGC Yeah that's fair, there is absolutely nothing nearby. Think it's reasonably hard to achieve the venue being in a convenient place in Europe due to how old most of the cities are and how big a venue is, being out of the way pretty normal here. Definitely different in NA!

English

Chuppa@ChuppaVGC·Dec 17

@CertainLightVGC I should be more specific in saying the location is the issue, the area near the venue is unpleasant and it usually feels mandatory to take the train to other places. It's nice that the transit is connected to the venue but I do wish the venue was just somewhere better
