Finished typing up my entire breakdown of the team I have been running for over a month now in Pokémon Champions.

I honestly think this team can win NAIC with the right player.

RTs appreciated!

I started VGC in 2014 due to a video @CybertronVGC posted. To read this is truly amazing. Thank you Zheng for being my coach all these years.

I think it's really healthy for VGC that the most popular player in the world keeps running experimental and weird teams over the meta.

A studio made a video game where your whole job is putting 3,072 messy books back on the right shelves. There's no fighting and barely a story. It's now a hit on Steam, where 94% of reviews are positive, and there's a brain reason it feels so good.

Back in 1927, a psychologist named Bluma Zeigarnik noticed something odd about waiters. They could remember a table's whole order perfectly, right up until the bill was paid. The moment it was settled, the order fell out of their heads. She tested the idea and found we all work this way. A job you haven't finished keeps poking at you, like a tab you left open in your browser. Finish it and the tab closes. The poking stops.

The trouble is, normal life almost never lets you finish anything. You empty your inbox and it fills back up. You do the laundry and next week it's there again. The pile of stuff hanging over you never quite hits zero, so part of your brain is always quietly holding all of it. Researchers have linked all those open, unfinished jobs to a busy head, weaker focus, and that feeling of not being able to switch off at night.

A stack of 3,072 books is different, because it actually ends. The number only ever goes down, never up. Every shelf you fill is one job your brain gets to close for good, and finishing things gives you a small hit of dopamine, the feel-good chemical your brain releases when you make progress. You watch the floor slowly come back into view under the mess as you go. You get that reward right away, which the bigger goals in your life almost never hand you.

There's a second thing going on too. A messy room is a stack of tiny questions: where does this go, do I even need it, should I deal with it now. Putting things in order answers every one of them and quiets your brain down. We're wired to like order, because order means less to keep track of, and less to keep track of just feels calmer.

This kind of game has a long track record. PowerWash Simulator, where all you do is spray dirt off things until they're clean, has been played by more than 17 million people, and its sequel earned two BAFTA award nominations this year. Unpacking, a quiet little game about taking things out of boxes and finding a place for them, sold over a million copies and won two BAFTAs of its own. You can't lose either one.

The whole appeal is a mess that actually ends. Your own to-do list never does.

it's really funny playing against mega charizard X who's trying to catch you by surprise. it goes like this:

- oh, it's charizard! let me lead with aerodactly
*presses rock slide*
- oh no! it mega evolved into X instead of Y!
*charizard faints to rock slide anyway*

[The X-3 Grim Reaper @MoxieBoosted]

That's great, Chimecho. Now let's see Sylveon's Boomburst.

[Leonard Craft III @DaWoblefet]

There's a softlock in Pokemon Champions! If Competitive attempts to activate while fainted (e.g. from Icy Wind vs Mirror Armor + Destiny Bond), the next time an Ability would announce itself, the game will softlock; both players cannot choose actions and animations stop.
