i would LIKE to play competitive pokemon at a regional some time HOWEVER

EVEN FUCKING CANBERRA HAS NOTHING. ITS SYDNEY OR MELBOURNE OR GO FUCK YOURSELF. IMAGINE LIVING IN FUCKING CAIRNS. IMAGINE. HAVING TO TAKE A FLIGHT AT LEAST HALFWAY ACROSS YOUR ENTIRE UNITED STATES SIZED COUNTRY TO PLAY AT A FUCKING REGIONAL. I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE TRAIN TO MELBOURNE FOR THE CLOSEST AND CHEAPEST REGIONAL. I WOULD PROBABLY MAKE A LONGER TRIP TO GO TO AN INFORMED CONSENT CLINIC AND GET A HRT SCRIPT WHILE IM AT IT.

FUCKING TWO CITIES GET VGC REGIONALS. IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN MELBOURNE OR SHITTIER MELBOURNE THEN YOU DON'T GET TO COMPETE. REGIONALS OR NATIONALS OR WORLDS.

YOU GOTTA BE A FUCKIN' CITYBOY TO HAVE A SHOT. NOT EVEN A MINOR CITYBOY YOU GOTTA BE FROM ONE OF THE BIG BIG ONES.

So Maushold just won a regional.

Here's every time the crowd chanted along to Population Bomb during the finals :

pokemon is such a large fanbase we all like the same core thing but the difference between the different niches is insane. like put a gamecanon, pokespe, vgc and anipoke fan at a table together and it would be like putting 4 long lost relatives together like i know we’re technically family but who tf are you and what language are you attempting to speak to me in lol

Fanart of Wolfe Glick's Pokémon World Championships 2024 team, I love watching his videos so it's really cool when I get to see him perform at events!

persona is my fav game franchise

My friend told me I "seem like the kind of guy to like persona" long time ago and I eventually caved back in May and finally played p5r and GOD this series hasn't had a day without a choke hold on me since.

Anyways, I actually do have a few p4 doodles since I've been playing around with different art software and,,, idk they live in my brain rent free.

I need the tumblr girlies to know that Sejun Park is bringing Pachirisu to worlds again 10 years after his iconic win

what if you fucking grow up instead of pretending to be a dog so people will give you the love you never got from your parents.

Oh! Oh! I’ve been waiting for this! I even took this picture so I could make this joke! But it’s such an autistic hyper fixation joke that I feel the need to explain it in excruciating detail!

In the early meta of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet VGC one cool Pokemon that I used was Dachsbun (a puppy Pokemon).

I would have it use substitute, which is a move that summons a pokédoll that sits in front of your pokemon. The pokédoll then takes damage instead of your pokemon.

In the picture I’m a puppy with a pokédoll substitute in front of me to intercept the anons attack! Just like how I used this stupid joke to intercept the attack! But the joke goes deeper!

Dachsbun has an ability called “Well-Baked Body” which makes it absorb fire type attacks, causing it to get a defense buff from the attack instead of taking damage. Dachsbun wasn’t a very commonly used pokemon so people often didn’t realize it had this ability and would try to use fire attacks against it.

In this post Anon is trying to burn me, so this is a fire type attack. And they had no idea that I’m an autistic pokemon turbo nerd who was going to absorb the attack into this extremely convoluted (and unnecessarily long) joke and use it to strengthen my defense. Just like Dachsbun!

But wait! There’s more!!!!

Dachsbun doesn’t have a strong attack stat, so its main offensive move is Body Press which allows it to attack with its defense stat instead of its attack stat.

Body press is a good move, but it doesn’t do a lot of damage without a ton of buffs, so it often ends up taking a long time to chip away at an opponents health. That’s exactly like how this post is probably slowly chipping away at anons health!

So to sum it up! I’m a puppy with a substitute Pokédoll that I’m using to intercept attacks, and I’m absorbing a fire type attack to raise my defense while slowly chipping away at my opponents life!

Anyway, thank you so much anon! I really appreciate you walking into this incredibly stupid trap that I’ve laid!

DM me when regulation F comes and i'll give you a VGC team (attack IVs minimized where reasonable, as in, the special attackers have 0 and the raging bolt only has 20 because its forced to be 20 or 31)

In competitive Pokémon lore, Amoonguss now canonically supports trans rights. We already knew Ferrothorn was homophobic so that's 2 of their opinions on LGBT rights, 1023 to go.

Competitive memes are fucking incredible. Theyre funny in context but become 100x funnier the moment theyre taken out of context
