Yes, I actually do remember you, because I kept a special lookout just for you since I saw your picture in last year's VGC holding an inflated Pokeball, I knew you looked familiar, but I definetely do remember the Red Sox cap. I had a green DS lite by my side when I was battling and I had a crystal necklace, along with a white t-shirt and sweat pants, while wearing a pink sackybag.Yeah, Berton does not = BlueKikitana. I know both of them and they are definitely not the same person.
Nice job though, I think I saw you battling. I was the guy in the Red Sox cap for the majority of the day. I watched a lot, so chances are you saw me but didn't notice. :P
Sure, but I should warn you I'm not the greatest or good as some others, but yeah, sure I could teach you the basics.Congrats on your win Sid! It's nice to know you are going to St. Louis. Mind teaching me doubles sometime?
I know how it feels, I almost decided not to go just since there was a lottery, and if I don't even make it in, that'd have upset me so much. But just believe in yourself and have some faith, luck will come your way.I'm shaking in my boots... it's so upsetting to drive there and not get picked
Yeah zero! I'm surprised, but happy! Man, BKK looks so alike, but this team he's gained weight and wears glasses. A few of these guys look familiar, love the t-shirt zero!Thanks for the shoutout Sidd, I knew you would do well, I had faith in you!
Also Berton =/= BKK
Berton is the guy all the way to the left, while BKK is the one wearing the white shirt and facial hair.
I'll change that, I knew something was wrong, but yeah, I'll change it.It's Vinh/Arkerus, well I was lurking around smogon forums for the first time and I came across this post hehe. I don't remember much(got a bad memory on these things) but i'm pretty sure I got you with a taunt on dusknoir on the first turn. I don't have protect or waterfall on my gyarados. But i used Ice Fang and not waterfall. I thought you were going to explode on me after you sent gross out hehe so i just used protect on gross(couldn't save gyarados unless i switched out and sacrifice another). But yea gg! People loved your shinys hehe.
But yea i'll see you at Nationals.
Good job sidd, and I agree with deisel about the writing of the battles better. You should have saved the last one. Did they do hack checks on your pokemon once you mad top 8?I'll change that, I knew something was wrong, but yeah, I'll change it.
I know, the crowd was like "OHHHHHHHHH' and "WOW". I still remember a few of those kids saying 'stupid cheater' and I'm all like wtf? But yeah, it was a gg, thank god I faced you in the semis, else I'd have been knocked out before w/o the ticket to St. Louis.
They hack-checked during Top 16, and yes, they did. All of them came up perfectly legit, they use an AR of their own to hack-check, or a R4, it was either AR/R4.Good job sidd, and I agree with deisel about the writing of the battles better. You should have saved the last one. Did they do hack checks on your pokemon once you mad top 8?
Yeah, some just stared at me in awe, others attacked me by saying 'hacker', but they were Juniors, so who cares? The guy who checked my Pokemon said they were all legit, which I knew anyways.congrats man! It is good to see smogoners do well. Did anyone say anything about the all shiny team?
Thanks. Now I just need to make up the team. Seems so much harder than it actually is.Really nice story, I hope you luck in St. Louis!!
Well, Focus Sash is good and all, but I went for power rather saving myself. I'm not sure why I used tomb either, but Sucker Punch did save me in Game 2, so I'm all happy for that. I have to change my team, so maybe this team I can actually prepare.Congrats man, glad to see you did well. Wish you hadn't lost to the Stealth Rock team...
I don't get why you would use Spiritomb and why you wouldn't use Focus Sash on Weavile.
