    Metagame np: SS DOU Stage 1: When I Grow Up | Dynamax Banned

    This is a weird way to look at doubles tbh. Board position in Doubles is more complex than Singles. There are many tools which are useful in Doubles that may not be useful in Singles. However, the identity of Doubles as a format does not rely on any of these mechanics. It's just what new players...

    Metagame np: SS DOU Stage 1: When I Grow Up | Dynamax Banned

    So it mentioned somewhere this was happening and couldn't help but poke my head in to read some of the reasoning.

    Nah, it's cool. You're not gonna get a good battle out of me. I even haven't finished the game yet and am using a team I copied off Twitter without looking at or practising with.

    I'm an idiot. Completely forgot about this while at work. Should probably have set an alarm. You can have the win for the week and sorry for keeping you waiting.

    How about 12:00 PM AEDT on January 19th which is 5:00 PM PDT on January 18th? I'll be online in the VGC room.

    I can play on Showdown around lunch which should work for you. How about 11:30 AM PST / 8:30 PM CET on Wednesday? Can also do around that time on Thursday or Friday.

    Suggestions for Pokémon Showdown

    Challenge to Best of 3 Would very much appreciate the ability to challenge someone to a best of three battle where you can't change teams in between games. This would eliminate the ability to cheat in a best of three by swapping to a second team with a separate set of moves that may not have...

    I rewatched it probably 5 or so years later in English with my cousin. Then Brotherhood. I read the manga a few years later?

    VGC 2015 World Championship

    I wasn't talking about traditional sports, I was talking about esports. There's a reason I also said you can have unlucky breaks but what we consider to be truly skilled in the game is based on consistency -- though I must say we've never had an undeserving World Champion in the past 6 years...
