the streets know about this r4 matchup

[Ben Wolf @benwolf8317]

Overall, weekend was so fun, and I can’t wait for NAIC to do it all again. Shoutout to all my Wisconsin compatriots and friendly opponents. Pokemon is awesome.

[Ben Wolf @benwolf8317]

I got my first ever day 2 at the first ever champions regional! I’m so grateful for @morton_aj, @azubbang, and the rest of the team for working so hard on this and letting me in on it.

[Ben Wolf @benwolf8317]

A few days before, I was teamless, and I felt like I could lose every set. The turnaround was so crazy, but I managed to click with the team almost immediately. I’m looking forward to getting more time with the team because I know I didn’t use its full potential.

[MJ ☀️ @AtrixMJ]

Pretty sure I bubbled worlds by not winning 1 more game 😅 either way this weekend was a movie and I could not have asked for more. Thank you so much everyone, I am nothing without all of your overwhelming support ❤️❤️❤️ will post more when I get home / tomorrow I LOVE POKEMON!!!

[AJ Morton @morton_aj]

I made my first ever top cut at the Indianapolis Regional Championships and ended 10-3 and top 16! It was an incredible weekend and I’ll have a whole thread about the run later but thanks to my partner Courtney and all of my friends that supported me and helped me prep!!!

THAT'S MY BUILDING BUDDY WOOOOOO

[AJ Morton @morton_aj]

6-2 for Day 2 at the hometown regional! Committed to the team early and the prep went crazy! See yall tomorrow for my 3rd Day 2!

[Ben Wolf @benwolf8317]

@DinomiteVGC Go is mobile too, so I think we will be fine.

[Ben Wolf @benwolf8317]

Did this at a local but they got the double protect lol

[Will (Wiltank) 🐮🛡️ @Wiltank]

Finally pulled off the cool play to win a game 😃 let me outspeed Fox and Excadrill and repin with fake out

[Ben Wolf @benwolf8317]

Thought this was for vgc for a moment bc I’ve gotten so used to this being true for us too 😭

[🌻CJ🌻 @TheMintMermaid]

Lowkey I despise the "Ranked" Ladder not letting you play the ACTUAL standard format dude. I'm tryna get games in for Indy, not run into slopbox 3.0

[Ze Banded @ZeBanded]

Here are my 2 cents on the open nature debate

I am in favor of open nature, and i hope to have a discussion about it

Though i also think people are still gonna play VGC at the end of the day and it's not as big of a deal as some make it out to be

[Ben Wolf @benwolf8317]

@queirozeco If you don’t have nature you can’t figure this out. It will just look like unlucky 50/50s until it’s statistically improbable that it’s a speed tie. What knowing nature does is give you an idea that it’s 80/20 before you even see speed order.

[Ben Wolf @benwolf8317]

@queirozeco I’m saying that it’s not a true 50/50. You can’t assume you are faster but it is way more likely.

[Ben Wolf @benwolf8317]

@queirozeco It’s not really a coin flip if you know natures though. Yes, you can train your gengar to not meet expectations, but that will really only work for one game.

[Ben Wolf @benwolf8317]

@queirozeco You don’t think knowing you’re not in a speed tie with mega gengar is helpful?

[Ben Wolf @benwolf8317]

@queirozeco @PengyTwitch Natures are more important with megas that change speed like with that mega gengar “speed tie” that happened in the gcf

This is absolutely atrocious and a deathknell for many websites

Serebii should be ok as a large portion of our traffic is direct due to our reputation, but this is horrendous for all individual sites everywhere.

These things scrape our sites then kill us. I see no logic to it.

Wait, you don't like uninteractive mages in your lane?
