With the announcement of the Pokémon Community Ambassador Program I wanted to do a thread on the history of former World Champion @WolfeyGlick cheating in Pokemon VGC going all the way back to 2012! Wow🧵 Gen 5 Perfect Shiny Thundrus with Hidden Power Odds are 1:219 Trillion. That's just for one Pokemon and not his team of shiny Pokemon

Top tier derangement

It will always be funny that Wolfe Glick is so trash at Pokemon he had to double cheat in 2012 when almost no one knew how to play. -RNG explicitly against the rules -Timer Stalling was unsporting cheating

Good question

"Let people enjoy things" is always said in defense of some obnoxious asshole ruining the enjoyment of others.

Verlisify always rite

Using 12 emulators to own the original hardware chud. I'm tired of how everything is toxic performative online

Chess and Go were the funerals people remember. The ones they stopped watching were Dota and StarCraft. OpenAI Five beat the TI world champions 2–0. Game two was 46–6 in 21 minutes. AlphaStar hit Grandmaster on the live ladder. Pokémon is not a new metaphysics. It is an untrained simulator. Tapes: nitter.net/Dividend_Dojo/status/2…

This dude is MALDING

The "iced coffee to an interview" thing is such a good case study in Gen Z not being able to pick their battles Everything has to be some dramatic example of oppression or ableism or "corporate overlords" instead of...just the way things are You don't wear white to someone else's wedding, you leave a tip when it's customary to do so, these are just social conventions that make you not look rude An iced coffee doesn't matter that much to you as the interviewee. You will survive going 1 hour without an Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shaken Espresso But it COULD matter to the person interviewing you. Why risk it? Why die on that hill? You may think it's a poor proxy for professionalism, you may think a good employer wouldn't care But if someone tells you "Hey, this is not universally acceptable, it could risk your success," and you insist on doing it to make a point, that's your own dang fault

Attention spans of kids are so beyond cooked that we are calling half an hour of playing a video game "hostaged"

Smogon kids are DERANGED. Chess and GO have been conquered by technology, only reason Pokemon hasn't is because no one cared enough yet they still think they are superior.

I will never understand the people that consider themselves Pokemon fans but hate Pokemon so much they primarily play ROMHacks and Fangames. The same people then turn their nose at PEAK like Palworld and Aniimo

wtf are riot designers doing

Hobbies used to be places where you left your politics at the door and that made everything better for everyone

TOOK HOURS TO GET THIS TITLE

One of the best evolution families in all of creature collecting #Aniimo

Ok how trash are Smogon players to ban MEGA ALAKAZAM

The trend of Youtubers making up achievements for retro games is really stupid

Getting validated about how deranged and hate-filled the Pokemon community is always feels nice

They are losing their minds because Logan is playing on a LEGIT cartridge, but when these losers do it running on 15 roms at the same time it's supposed to be impressive. The community has completely lost their mind.
