Not being able to afford a thumbnail artist or editor is not an excuse to use AI. Practically every successful channel started off with no funds and did everything themselves at one point. If 15 year old me could do all my editing and thumbnails with free software, so can you.

@SavananaBananaz Happy birthday, hope it's been a good one!!

I'M RUNNING THE NYC MARATHON IN 5 DAYS 😱😱

We've raised ~$6,500 out of my $8,000 goal to fund life-changing educational opportunities for tomorrow's leaders. Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed so far!

Help me get over the finish line: https://t.co/u0pBa89bp2

@IDesillusion Yeah we just played earlier, love seeing people try to make mono teams work! Very surprised you found me that quickly lol

[Optima @OnlyOptima]

Went on a 7 game winning streak with dual mega rain in masterball to climb into masterball 2! Never see anyone using Basuclegion Female even though it hits like a truck with Life Orb and is a solid Swift Swim absuer. Reg M-C is solid fun for team building!

Hi y'all!

As many of you know, i'm currently in grad school for game design at NYU. For one of my midterms, I wanna write about Pokemon Champions bringing new players into VGC.

If Champions was how you started playing VGC, could you tell me about it below?

RTs appreciated!

[Joseph Ugarte @JoeUX9]

It's finally time, I posted a turn by turn breakdown of the Louisville Regional Finals on YouTube, explaining the thoughts behind my plays and giving insight into what I was thinking during all of it! Check it out if you'd like to learn more about me making VGC history :)

[Scarzig 🛡️ (Adam Watson) @Scarzig]

Thank you so much for joining me for this weekend! So many great moments and so much love from the community, I can't believe we are just getting started!!

@PlurpA @Yonepatchi Amazing work as always Plurp!

Noticed a sudden uptick in Inteleon teams on Champions ladders this week. What dumb clown was responsible for this?? 🔫🦎

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

AI art sucks in a million different ways, but what is extra stupid about this is how unnecessary it is. You went out and won a physical trophy, take a picture of yourself taking notes with the trophy next to you!

[Optima @OnlyOptima]

@Srn9130 Very cool! I like Torkoal since they're both super slow but it can be hard to pull off for sure

[Optima @OnlyOptima]

Torkoal stocks are up thanks to trick room Golispod teams and Arboliva is a surprisingly good partner for the turtle! I've already built six off meta teams in regulation MC as its been solid fun team building wise! YT videos soon!

Let me know what y'all are cooking up!

[Optima @OnlyOptima]

@ProfWingull Super cool! Good luck at Frankfurt!

Nothing too innovative EV wise. Basculegion has the more calculated spread as it outspeeds Scarf Male Indeedee in Rain. I'll go more in depth and may further refine the spreads in the video I make on it.

[Optima @OnlyOptima]

@AtrixMJ Pawmot! I love Annihilape and Kommo-o as Sneasler alternatives for a non mega good fighting type but Pawmot's coverage, fake out access, ability to pressure flying types, and surprisingly diverse movepool make it standout a lot to me.

Seeds have been cool too for team building.

Anyways 6-0 and in day 2 with Lucario Z
