This is Renzo erasure (literally)

everyone out here complaining about reg H instead of just building a better team. Can't believe the format got solved for the 8th time, surely this time it'll get stale.

Just got a positive Covid test so I won’t be going to Pittsburgh. Sad to miss it but also this week has been miserable so it’s a weight off my shoulders.

Hey guys, a friend of mine from high school was part of the team that made this game. It’d mean a lot of yall checked it out (and gave it a good review if you liked it)

Team felt like the play a month ago, not so much for the last few weeks. That’s part of what makes worlds such a hard tourney to build for.

Adi Subramanian @adisubra.bsky.social · Aug 15

Finished 2-3. Team was cool, some CSR matchups were tough and I couldn’t nail the reads. I beat the good matchups and lost to the tough ones. No margins at the world championships - I knew that and tried to high roll a bit. I’m happy with my play overall. Now to enjoy Anaheim.

Made it to LA! Put a lot of work into worlds prep and coming in feeling unprepared - it always happens. But I’m excited to see everyone and I’ll do my best on Friday.

Saw this post on r/vgc and naturally every response is a catchphrase for @wolfeglick.bsky.social. So I figured I'd ask the real VGC community here on Bluesky: What do you think Wolfe says when he terastalizes his Pokemon?

Reg H was both my favorite format to play and the format I did the worst in last year. Rn only going to one event but glad to get a second chance at it. There was meta development even as far as the last event so I think we'll continue to see ppl shake things up.

Reg J is just reg I + Arceus lol

I compete on the Pokémon circuit and post pandemic I haven’t had time to keep up with modern ygo. But I still watch some content, play ddm/cube with friends, and play a lot of Edison. I wouldn’t call myself part of the community though since I don’t go to big events regularly.

Looks like switch 2 will be legal at worlds #playpokemon

if i die in a nuclear blast in dc you cant do that "a man died, dont be political" shit. you gotta be as political as possible with it. use it to justify whatever you want. tell them i died because of trump. or because steven universe didnt center aroace voices. or bc ur boss sucks. really milk it!

I qualified for the 2025 Pokemon world championships! This year I really focused on my own teambuilding and I think it paid off. Had some ups and downs but I got to build some really cool teams. Sadly NAIC didn't go my way but overall this was a successful season and I'm looking forward to Anaheim!

This is Lola. She is one of the most skilled soccer dribblers we've ever seen, so it makes sense that she's already capturing footage for her documentary. 14/10

No. My gut says it'll be legal for worlds but we'll see what ends up happening.
