Tpci finally got me.
I dedicated 25 years of my life to this game.
Teaching the game around the Italy, raising players and building community all for nothing.
But Apparently I'm everything that is bad in this game.
The worst part, I was ready to travel for Nice because they didn't even have the dignity to notify my perma ban.
I was a target for some people working for Tpci for the past 10 years.
It happened again during the last World championship and I complain about that with a tweet that I deleted 6 hours later.
For that I got a perma ban.
I'm devastated. Pokemon is literally my life. I can't stop crying.
Good luck to everyone in Nice, I will make a goodbye post in the future.
1,095 players showed up in New Orleans for 2026 NAIC. Of these, only 10 Italians were at the starting line, ready to defend last year's derby final 🇮🇹
Mission accomplished: 2026 North American International Championships' winner is @frpio_pero: the cup stays home! 🏆
