I got to see Asher's dreams become a reality as he was the top seed at NAIC. He ended up second place overall, taking an L to his friend and co-finalist, @NinjadamonNZ .
2 months to worlds. Hoping for a finals rematch! @Azulite_poke took him from 3-3 in Vegas to NAIC finalist ✨
5-3 at NAIC with Mega TTar and Mega Scovillain.
Despite whiffing at 4-2 again, I got exactly what I wanted out of this event, as I felt myself falling in loving playing the game again.
PRIMARINA, CORVIKNIGHT, YOU HAVE BEEN REDEEMED!
Shoutouts to being able to cast a top 8 match with neither player being he/him.
In our generally male-dominated tournaments, more diversity is a good thing. Pokémon is for everyone!
I won a game due to my opponents quick claw activating and causing a Shadow Ball to hit my Aegislash before it went into Sword Forme and allowing me to survive the hit.
- I want to know more about the Battle Data tab. Nobody is talking about it (to my knowledge) and I really, really want to know what it's about.
Those are most of my thoughts. I think me enjoying the format (at least night 1) is helping me enjoy the game a ton ngl.
Night One Thoughts on Champs:
- Format Mons are fine. Rain seems a bit busted, all of the main Reg H abusers are back except for Amoonguss? Seems pretty good.
- Items seem an issue. I'm OK with it for now personally, but they are going to need to add more to keep it fresh (cont)
just bring back rental teams. Replica can work for copying teams from device to device for tournament legality which would be hype, but only with rentals to pair them with.
- Move changes (mainly Fake Out) are weird, but NGL I do not care about the change as much as others (cont)
Skiing is great because you can tear your ACL on an easy trail called "Dilly Dally Tung Tung Tung Sahur Alley" because you got there 30 minutes too soon and it was a bit icy.
