Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

@Light_88_ Love shiny Staraptor. Seen some mixed opinions. Thinking of running a bird team for shits and giggles, definitely seems like it’s a good option

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@TuturTheCalmar @VGCVictoryRoad Yeah that would be nice, ultra beasts and the tapu’s from Gen 7 didn’t make it into Gen 9, so would be good to get them involved. Maybe after Worlds. I was hoping they’d add more new pokemon but I guess they’re just concentrating on getting mobile working well

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@TuturTheCalmar @VGCVictoryRoad No, I know that, of course. Someone just said he’s the only terrain setter anyway. I hadn’t had a good look at who they’d introduced, so assumed there was more, that was all

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@lolwhatanl @VGCVictoryRoad Is he? Hadn’t had a solid look through, assumed there were more. Fair enough

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@LexiconVGC As a fellow ‘boomer’ (35 yo) I quite like not knowing as well. I’m looking forward to looking at the switch tomorrow and looking at what’s new and how I can set up. Team buildings my favourite bit of VGC, it’s cool finding out last minute. I like it

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@percyishim @FBombardier_net And 83% of stars are made up…but yes I agree 😂

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@Kwikpanik I think it’ll be fun to see whole new bunch of people start playing VGC, it’ll certainly add a whole bunch of people who might not have considered it as they haven’t kept up to date with Nintendo consoles over the years

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@MoxieBoosted Rilla losing Grassy Glide would be interesting. That was mostly its main appeal. It can be countered anyway, Armour Tail for example stops it being used. Think it would be an odd thing to remove

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@keyhndrxxx @LinkStain Also a good call! I considered that too. Just felt that scorching sands dealt with some of the other meta threats a bit better when needed

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@VGCVictoryRoad Champions tier is only the top 300?

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@LinkStain Also fair, I’ve not been using them as much anyway recently. I find that having it listed first in my team makes people prep to counter it and then I go the other way and counter their counters - like water and trick room to counter Aerodactyls etc

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@AvgValueMale @Santoss_CFC Technically brilliant footballer. Think he lacks the right mentality for the elite level of the game - Simeone tried to drill it into him for a good few years and let him go when it was clear it wasn’t getting through. Also goes missing in physical games too often

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@newtype_smith @implausibleblog I’m just talking more broadly, not just this particular incident in isolation. There should more pressure from the media when it’s clear someone is lying. Some politicians in the UK seem to be given a lot of leeway with the truth before being called out on it

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@Sabrecobra @PlayStationPark This game came free with the computer we bought in like 1999, after the World Cup of course, we is probably why it was free - but it was my first FIFA. Loved it

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@_Spectral_Thief @temp6t I recall one 6v6 tournament in towards the end of SwSh in like…2022, only time I can recall that in years I’ve played VGC on and off over the years

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@Amimej2026xae @implausibleblog BBC marginally a different case, but run by someone appointed by Tories…

[Tom Parrott @parrott1990]

@Amimej2026xae @implausibleblog It’s infuriating. They know that by being outrageous, or pandering to those with outrageous opinions, they rage bait people into engaging online which drives traffic, which makes them money. It’s all it is. Journalistic integrity discarded for profits
