Completely choked day 2! Sad since my resistance was probably good enough for top 32 if I won 1 round today. Still happy with the result considering the little experience I had with the team. ggs to all my opponents they were all really strong!

When I ask local stores to let me run VG events, the answer is always: "We're a card shop, why should we host a video game tournament?" Having to beg for locals is demeaning. The internet thing isn't gonna help. Please free us from the league system that was clearly made for TCG.

@lorcylovesyou @JacobSkraw So in this scenario for something like zard y would it go? 1: mega evolutions happen 2: switches happen 3: abilities activate

@JacobSkraw You’d be able to switch out because during the turn it’ll allow since the ability at the time isn’t the megas ability

How’s it gonna work if I try to switch out the turn you mega evolve your gengar? 👁️👁️

Finally got the Portland 2020 gang together again. Been waiting to get all these since the Sitting Cuties line came out. How I miss cheesing people with double z-moves in cts Art by the talented @Maplesquidarts

Sts2 is an amazing game but it does feel a little familiar...

I think it is too soon to be jumping to conclusions about the monetization features in Champions

Bro hit the soul read and then aura-farmed for the crowd 😭

I think this is extremely disingenuous. Making a tool like PKHeX doesn't mean that: 1. Kurt has to condone cheating in competitions (by TPCis rules) 2. He can't showcase peoples poor attempts at hacking (a lot of players get very, very basic shit wrong) 1/7

goodmorning new friends, who is ur fav pokémon

This event will be a VGC League Cup! Please note, the actual date is Feb 24, the last Tuesday of the month. NOT the 23rd.

Here are the top teams from January's VGC Challenges! The winning teams teams have also been entered into the Alberta VGC Hall of Fame. Want your team featured? Make sure to compete in an Alberta VGC Cup or Challenge this month!

Trainers, here is the VGC event schedule for the rest of February! See posts below for details.

@DistantCoder @EliteZephyr @JoeUX9 is probably a good candidate for your criteria! He has worked with lots of other creators small to large.

@EliteZephyr As much as I'd love to, I think Wolfey's got bigger fish to fry than helping someone 1/10th of his size get back into VGC LOL That being said though I'd love to get coached by someone with a smaller audience so we both can benefit from it, could be cool!

Some of you don’t know this but I played competitive Pokemon VGC before quitting in 2016 to pick up Yu-Gi-Oh. I think it’s time I go back to it. Coder VGC arc? Time to hit the books 📚👀

Attended my very first Pokémon regional as a spectator, here’s what I observed (from a Yu-Gi-Oh player’s POV): - The setup for streams is phenomenal. Konami could learn a LOT from TPCI in terms of this. Would love to see Konami implement seperate streams for Advanced and Genesys that run alongside each other, very cool. - The crowd diversity is night and day with yu-gi-oh. There are kids, women and parents attending, participating and enjoying themselves. A far cry from Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments who have like 99.9% men in their late 20s in terms of attendance. - Pokémon players smell just as bad as Yu-Gi-Oh players. On multiple occasions I caught a whiff of something that made me feel unwell. - I can’t speak much about tournament organization because I didn’t play, BUT something that really stood out to me is that they used different colored tablecloths to depict which tables were for TCG, VGC & GO which was super cool. Feels like Konami could do this to clearly designate the seperation between main event and side events. Otherwise the event seemed to run smoothly. - Overall the vibe seemed more jolly. People seemed to be more happy to be there than people attending Yu-Gi-Oh YCSes do. - Pokémon REALLY pushes their IP (which is a good thing). Incredible to me how anywhere I look there’s a very recognizeable monster from the brand, they really make sure you know you’re at a Pokémon event the entire time. Not like Yu-Gi-Oh who puts a banner of Ty-Phon at the entrance and calls it a day. This is a MAJOR point Konami needs to step up on. YCSes don’t feel like a grand celebration of Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon regionals do. - The commentary (for VGC which is what I mostly watched) was phenomenal and ENTHUSIASTIC! This is a big deal, most Yu-Gi-Oh commentators don’t make you feel like what you’re watching is hype. Konami should take notes and instruct their commentators to do the same (I mean this for some, not all commentators in Yu-Gi-Oh, we know who i’m talking about.) Overall, even though I was just a spectator and didn’t even play at all, I enjoyed myself a lot. Konami needs to start taking notes, genuinely. Step it up!

Everytime I miss a major the promo and mat are awesome and everytime I do go we either don’t get the mat I want or they don’t have it and the promo is surfer

@pint0b3an15 @NerdFactorYGO Reasoning gate turbo in goat format

@NerdFactorYGO Based on my analysis of the situation, is it safe to assume dire was playing maliss?

blue said the hard r btw

Judge my ranking of every new Mega Pokémon in ZA They’re all IN ORDER & BASED ON DESIGN It’s an early impressions list too as we havent see them in other media or official art yet Also,did this as a video on my channel! Get my OPINIONS in more detail⬇️ Reply or QT your lists!

@vicwingly Ribombee is the goat! (I used it at 1 local for a meme)

its so awesome that ribombee is in smogon ubers and is a vgc regional champion lol shes just a baby

@sierradawnx3 I feel that. They are somewhat similar imo yet Z-A just scratches that Pokémon itch in a way Arceus just didn’t. I think simply the existence of other more npc’s and trainers just made ZA feel noticeably more alive too.

@heyitsraye Most of all between the two I just find the gameplay loop a lot more fun, whereas Arceus felt repetitive in a way I didn’t find rewarding. I’m gonna replay it again soon to fully compare with a fresh look.

Pokemon Legends ZA is the best Pokemon game of all time
