Whether it's from chatting on the forums or in a PS! chatroom, getting drafted together for a team tournament, or socialization on one of many Smogon-affiliated Discords, many of us can say we've made friends and acquaintances during our time in the Smogon community. Sure, it's kind of understood that we appreciate them, but there's not always a good opportunity on a site like this to really think about someone you've met and tell them, "Hey, I appreciate you," like we all want to sometimes. I think it's time to think about the friendships we've made on this site, in this community, and how the people here have built each other up into who we are and who we will be going forward.
My 200th post has been looming over me for a while-- sure, it's ultimately just how many times I've posted on a forum that's ultimately about a children's video game series, but what can I say, it's important to me. This is the sort of thread I've wanted to see for a while now. Sure, the relationships and positivity threads cover this to an extent, but I wanted there to be a dedicated place where we can appreciate each other-- our close friends and the acquaintances we hold dear alike. So, if you want to talk about the people on the site who've made you happy, this is the exact place for that :)
KaenSoul I was already getting myself more and more involved with OMs, especially Reevo, when you sent me this offer, but this is really the moment I realized I could be a part of the community. I appreciate you inviting me in the first place and continuing to be one of the best people I've worked with and spoken to in the community. Thank you for putting up with me at my most incompetent :p
kenn I still remember you being the one to playtest GG with me when I still had no idea how to build in SS, and I still remember you being the one to promote me to OM Roomvoice after tricking me into talking about that same bad team >:( you've been another one of the best people I've worked with and spoken to in the OM community, and I'm still thankful you chose me to lead TCG after your departure from the meta
zastra being on the VTM council is another of the best things that's happened to me in SV, a moment where I really felt I was becoming a good builder and securing myself as a "real" member of the community, and I can't thank you enough for being here through that
PQRDG DosDogs TCG has been my first time as a tier leader, and you guys being such amazing council members and players has been such a key part of that that it's hard to state in a brief sentence, but you two have been awesome. thank you for going through this with me
rarre Cratersmash drampa's grandpa Momblast prunyy you guys have all been awesome people to work with on the Reevo, VTM and Tera Dono councils, it's because of you guys and our amazing tls that the tiers are as great as they are today and continue to be as popular and loved as they are. it's been great seeing this through with you guys
Natcrozma you have been the biggest driving force towards me going from making shitty AMQCs to being able to call myself part of the AAAQC team, you have been a great friend beyond that, i have you to thank for joining the pokepride server and for being more active in smogcord, :3 gang for life
Instruct being on the evasion boosting eevees was a major step for me, it felt like the first tournament where i actually performed at a level similar to my peers and contributed to the team as a whole, and I have you to thank for that. i'm happy i was able to be there to support you, and i really appreciate you doing the same and pushing through everything
@ all of the smashing salamences, you guys have been such an amazing team, both for battling / building and as an environment to chat and spend time in. i hope this isn't the last time i get to work with you guys :3
@ pokepride goobers i haven't been active there for a long time yet, but you've all been an amazing community to be a part of so far and i feel lucky to have started integrating into it :3
@ om room chatterboxes , i can't name all of you because this post is getting too long, but know that i appreciate you guys a lot :3 you've been another amazing community to be a part of and i love everything the people here have created, become, and will do as gen 9 develops . i am still NOT putting the face in my showdown name Hiusi guy
and to anyone I didn't tag because we aren't as close yet, know that I appreciate you too :3 i had a few more people in mind, but i'm gonna devolve into 1AM rambling if i dont get this done soon. i promise i didn't forget you guys!!
that's enough from me, make sure to keep this thread on-topic if you're gonna post here, and thank you for reading all of this whether i tagged you or not :3 spread some positivity and make your friends feel as appreciated as they are!!
