Got the stupid Blue Checkmark because I have way too many words for this weekend. This weekend I got my third VGC regional Day 2 with a 9-4 record putting me in 89th place. And while of course I wished I could do better, who wouldn't, I'm so proud of myself for getting this far. I've had a really rough run in 2026 for events, and I started crying when I got the Day 2. Not only did I get my third one, I felt like this is the best VGC I've ever played. I was fully in the driver seat for almost all of my matches, and my losses were SUPER close. My first proper team report will come soon enough. So stay tuned. I have to thank my wife Kasha for always being so supportive and pushing me, and of course my loving friends. Of them all I have @Madzisbadz__ to thank the most. She helped me get out of a depressive slump after Seattle and my play and focus has never been better. Also thank you to @KommanderVGC , @Iris_VGC , @seafoamshores and my local besties Josh and Liam. I played only 8 games with this team after Milotic was slapped on, and I have zero regrets this weekend. Thanks to everyone who believed I could do this. I am happy beyond words.

Lowkey, I'm higher in singles ladder rn than doubles from working on my title quest. And I'm having a lot of fun, kinda wanna find a serious singles team and grind with it. Anyone have teams or ideas?

Todo lo que sea un 4-4 o superior en un regional de Pokémon es un resultado decente, por encima de la media. Aquellas personas que dicen que un 5-3 es 'mediocre' están cegadas por su orgullo. Puedes aspirar a más, sí, pero decirlo así es una falta de respeto al resto.

Really glad I stopped using Showdown overall. But hopefully the bots get dealt with. I don't see the point of them. Its not real practice.

If you're ever feeling down remember on this day Raichu X won a regional: remember it's garbage CAN not garbage cannot

Playing a cup hungover today but more importantly I'm getting brunch with my bestie @Perjutsu24 I've already won today regardless of how the cup goes 🥰

i could never be a mysterious person because the second something mildly interesting happens to me i need to tell at least four people

I have an evil sick fuck Singles ladder idea for knocking out another rather difficult title. I could use some assistance though, DM me if you wanna help :)

Just finished what was probably the second hardest Pokemon in my title quest. Unlike EVERY other Pokemon I have finished so far, I have never seen a single other soul run Forretress. It's well beyond its singles niche being useful and is mostly an active liability on your team. It's also my first Bug type finished 💀

Real friendship is learning that someone talks about you behind your back, but its all good things, and they never tell you they say them and you have to hear it from someone else 🥺

I love watching my friends and oomfs hit Champion tier and being so proud. I know I can do it, Ive done it every season at least once. But the urge to ladder with garbage calls me every time.

People acting like the world needs to share their opinion are fucking weird. "I hate this game so you're weird if you don't" I'm neutral on ZA, I'd give it maybe a 6.5. but calling it dogshit like its not one of the better 3D games is crazy.

Discovered long time oomf is in my city. Irl bestie acquired.

Saw a guy call it cuck coding instead of vibe coding because you just sit in a chair and watch😭

This Overqwil team is pure cancer but funny at times. Simple Beamed a Kingambit so I could switch in Overqwil and instead of +1 it gets -2. Kinda funny

My best friend in the whole world said "Please know that whenever you use this team I am actively rooting against you and hope you lose" I deserve that

Pensacola Friends: ICE is here. Call them out when you see them. Protect our neighbors!!!!! They are targeting workers trying to fix homes, schools, businesses. Right after a Hurricane. Do not bend to the Gestapo!

Dear Friends and Followers of the VGC Community I am issuing a formal apology in advance. As many of you know, I am trying to get every title in Pokemon Champions. This requires getting 100 wins with every Pokemon. Some of these are easier than others. I need to do Audino, Overqwil, Klefki.....I think you see where I am going with this. If you run into me on ladder using that accursed Minimize team, please bear in mind this is not who I am as a person, but a sacrifice I must make for my greater goal. Please try to understand and do not judge me. -Ruby

Going live on Twitch and Youtube with some good old fashioned Indeedee Hatterene HTR! twitch.tv/trickrubyvgc

Oh I wonder why I haven't heard from this close friend in a while-blocked without explanation. Why are people like this. If you have a problem with me why not say something? Every time I feel a need to remove someone from my life I at least have the decency to tell them why.
