@CarneyAsadaa @Yonepatchi Same. I think there was a huge appeal in “team building easy and also get pretty animations”, but it’s just not as good of practice.

I will probably play more on mobile, but I don’t think it will ever be my primary way to play unless they add BO3 OTS (which they won’t)

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

Been playing Garchomp + Zard for 17 years 🥱

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

Really gotta psych yourself up to build something that beats Zard

[JT🦅 @JT_Speed]

I’m ready to do something that will change my life

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

Shoutout to my friends for keeping me contained, my inner CoD kid almost spawned into the venue 😇

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

First regional with a teamsheet error and it made the team pretty unplayable 🥴

We come back stronger, I won’t make the same mistake twice

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

@adisubra What is the difference with Pogos appeal process?

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

@HeatVW BRO WE FINALLY GO TO THE SAME TOUR LFG!!

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

I do wish they would at least build whatever we are using in tours into the game for better cart practice on ladder, though.

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

Hot take is I don’t care if they put the entire stats and natures on the sheet.

I’m playing what’s in front of me and winning.

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

@HeatVW Some people have never spawned in against skinny bot or played on a morning of patch that completely changes spawns and it shows

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

NGL I think I have a mental advantage over most of the scene from playing CoD from the MLG era to the beginning of the CDL era.

The grass is so much greener over here.

VGC stands for: Very Good at Complaining

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

@WaR_Surge That shit was so fun to build. I wish it led to something more permanent, but I’m really thankful for the opportunities you and others gave me and all the support!

PS: something similar coming for VGC (pokemon) soon. I’ve been in the lab.

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

@AndyBakesYT “uhh… you ARE allowed to run Protect with Specs…”

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

@AndyBakesYT Yes. I was running SunRoom and there was a line where I would protect to stall out a single turn of my own TR or Sun so that I could swap out to reset Sun next turn. Plus it was kinda heat into Incin after Knock Off.

[SlowHomie @AndyBakesYT]

My hot take is that it doesn’t matter because VGC players don’t read teamsheets

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

@Montana_Pokemon @playpokemon Fwiw I came to the same conclusion you did. I don’t *think* it means natures will be OTS, but the wording is ambiguous.

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

@JacobSkraw Hasty Oricorio btw

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

@JacobSkraw Bombing out at Vegas with the most fun team I’ve ever built feels extra bad now

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

@MrPTPablo Cmon bro, he needs a proper name. Schlurmothy

[Carter @CartmanCodes]

Indy and NAIC will likely be my last events for a while.

My wife and I are expecting a baby boy in August! Super excited to be a dad

Gonna give these last two events my all, need to up my dad lore 💪
