THIS is what Pokémon is all about folks!!!
Today I went to a League Cup. The store was in a recently closed Victoria's Secret, they had no tables, we played in the mall food court, I lost in Top 8 to Steven's Metagross, and finals is being played in a Chipotle.

My first ever locals in 2014 took place in a card store on the third floor of one of those old repurposed new england mills. when the store got cramped you could elect to move your match and wander the building, perhaps coming across the 'couch graveyard', akin to the backrooms

Pokémon tournaments were meant to be played in liminal spaces and I won't rest until we go back

Unironically the most fun I've ever had playing this tournament. Previously playing the global challenge meant "lock yourself in your house for the weekend" and mobile changes that

here’s the team i used to finish 1-3 at worlds! they can’t all be winners. i decided early that i’d rather use something i built from the ground up— given the past two seasons i was sick of playing teams every opponent knew use clefable to bully a staraptor player in your life!

pastebin.com/LZDj7ReC paste link clefable has a surprising amount of bulk and very few of the typing issues that sinistcha has. versus certain teams the right follow me positioning can win on the spot. however those teams are rarely big6 which i hit 3/4 rounds lol

Pokemon Champions Worlds Trailer prediction: Incineroar Fakes Out Venusaur. It doesn't flinch. Covert Cloak is coming back. The whole crowd boos. Venusaur Sleep Powders the Incin, but its unaffected due to the Safety Goggles. Everyone erupts with cheers
