SWITCH 2 SECURED

@RickyOplinger Let’s goo!! Congrats to getting to Master Ball too 😁 One day we’ll get there to Champion (although I’m staying with just the goal of returning to Master Ball so I can keep enjoying the game and minimize getting tilted 😂)

@doonbugs New players hitting master ball unite! I was also very excited to make it there this season. It’s a long road to champs but if we stick to it we might get there someday

I know Rank 4 isn’t much… but as a VGC newbie, I’m happy to finish my first season of Pokemon Champions in Master Ball rank 😁 Went from being nervous to play in Great Ball rank to now setting an expectation to return to Master Ball for Season M-2. Slowly but surely learning!

@Lulullaby_ Thanks so much!! Was watching One Piece and noticed I could get my trainer to look like Nami 😂

@doonbugs I love your character and her outfit!

@IanThackray1 Absolutely!! I’ve been enjoying watching videos of non-meta Pokemon to see if I can run them in ranked later. I had so much fun jumping into Casuals recently with Pokemon I asked a friend to pick - I think outside Kingambit and Blastoise they were all non-meta 😁

@doonbugs You also don’t have to Swim With the Meta Current to improve. I like Swimming Against it!

@DexandDice Congrats on Master Ball rank!!! And YES I felt more loose with using non meta Pokemon (mainly so I could get them the Rank Master mark). Although that did tank my record a bit 😂 Each rank I used a different team to keep it fresh (Sand in Great, Blastoise/Farigiraf TR in Ultra)

@doonbugs I'm in the same boat, did you find once you got to masterball the stress like disappeared?

@EclipseNightMer Ultra 2 is still incredible to be at! I was back and forth between Ultra 2 and 1 for quite some time - I only reached Master because I adjusted my team to surprise Sableye & Archaludon teams and ran into 3 of them in a row 😂 I’m glad you’re having as much fun as I am 😁

@doonbugs I'm only Ultra Ball Tier 2 for doubles, but idc cause I had a ton of fun playing competitive pokémon for the first time and I can't wait to play more! 😁

@ManeScn Thank you so much!! I appreciate it and you’re absolutely right to treat it as an achievement 😁

@doonbugs Getting to master ball rank is always an achievement. Congrats :)

@0xTixter We love a non-meta team! I used mostly meta mons in ranked since I’m still new with it, but I have so much fun using my favorites in Casuals and watching non-meta Ranked videos. Hoping either this season or next I can build around one of my favorites 😁

@doonbugs Dude same! I don't like the meta and try to be disruptive. Reaching Master Ball rank feels like an achievement indeed

@admrifuto Congrats on reaching Master!! Singles terrifies me since I feel my biggest struggle in either mode is team preview. Too funny we finished the same on opposite modes 😂

@doonbugs Neat, I'm the same as i just started VGC but I went for Master on Singles and left Doubles on Great 2 too

@KINGMVDAS When you’re right, you’re right! Thanks for the kind words 😁

@doonbugs Some people never made MB4. Own your success

@pkee_vanina Thank you so much!!

@doonbugs Congrats 🔥

@KrebsVGC Thank you so much!! Much appreciated and will do 😎👍

@doonbugs Keep it up!!

WOW I didn’t expect this to reach out so much! Thank you all for the super kind words 😌 I’m on Twitch and will stream more Champions (ranked and viewers matches) starting this weekend once IRL calms down. Feel free to follow and/or add my Trainer ID! twitch.tv/doonbugs

@TrueBurna Thanks so much!! Was a bit down when I tweeted this after going on a losing streak, but you’re absolutely right this is still an accomplishment to celebrate 😁 Can’t wait to improve on things and do it again next season!

@doonbugs Don't diminish your accomplishments getting that high is hard especially new to the game. Congratulations and keep grinding

@SnowyBug09 Thank you for the kind words! I’ve always enjoyed watching VGC and training competitive Pokemon, but always shied away from trying until Champions. It’s been a blast despite my silly mistakes and I’m excited to learn more (maybe one day I’ll remember Kingambit runs Defiant 😅)

@doonbugs And this is what I like to see! Be proud of your accomplishment! I'm just happy to see more people playing VGC, even if I don't play as much myself these days.

@TrickRubyVGC I really appreciate hearing this! Gotta enjoy the personal victories 😁 (unrelated, but I’ve been wanting to learn Trick Room better and I’m now looking forward to your videos when I have time later!)

@doonbugs I know people who struggle to get to Great Ball or Ultra Ball even. You set a goal for yourself and made it, so you should be proud even if it doesn't feel like its a lot compared to others!

the reason why Palestine isn’t getting seen anymore is because Israel has killed multiple Palestinian journalists. 2k people were killed in Lebanon. Russia launched one of its largest drone attacks to Ukraine. Sudan has around 12-14 million people displaced. Don’t stop talking.

It kills me everyday to know that we have less and less news about Gaza because all their journalists have been killed

Me when I tell everyone to get in the car because we are leaving town, right now, but the car is a spiked fence (which is impossible) so I scream “NOOOO” (so my friends know I don’t wanna be impaled) and try to summon my psychic ability (named hermit purple) to stop my descent:
