    "Fat Steve Nash" is Jeremy Jallen, pretty cool TCG player Guy in the Celtics jersey is Gino Lombardi, pretty tough guy (as you can see by the Garnett jersey)

    VGC '11 World Championships - San Diego, US - August 14th - WON BY BlueCookies & kamz

    I'm a TCG player who spent a lot of time playing D/P competitively when it first came out, but I stopped playing the video games when I realized TCG and VGC Nationals and Worlds always happen at the same time. In fact, I have a warstory archived somewhere on here! So, I look forward to watching...

    Why don't more pokemon use Taunt?

    I use a Taunt Crobat, and I've had some good results. Most people don't really expect it right off the bat (pun intended), so it works well to avoid early Stealth Rocks - and nearly every team attempts to Stealth Rock in the beginning. In addition, Crobat can take a few hits, and it has Roost to...

    Dissapointed with GameFreak

    You can tell they lost creativity just by looking at Infernape. I mean, all they did was take Primeape and set it on fire.

    A real life warstory? *gasp*

    Garchomp used Earthquake! (100% Damage) Mighteyena fainted. Just curious, why didn't you use Sucker Punch here? If you're going to sacrifice Mightyena, at least go out with a bang. Either way, awesome story. Anything with Wormadam in it is awesome.

    A Warstory Without Blissey, Tyranitar, Gyarados, or Even a Dragon!

    Obi: Now I understand what you were saying. Yeah, those scenarios would have screwed me completely, which is why I thought I had no chance to win to begin with. Live and learn I guess. I made plenty of mistakes myself during the game. Great stuff nonetheless. Pablo: None this weekend, but I'll...

    A Warstory Without Blissey, Tyranitar, Gyarados, or Even a Dragon!

    Bologo: To be fair, I had already seen all four of Celebi's moves (U-Turn, Leech Seed, Grass Knot, and Recover), so Psychic wasn't a worry. Brawlex: I knew that, which is why I had it approved by him, but for some reason I kept calling him Graviton lol. Oh well. Thanks for the kind words...

    A Warstory Without Blissey, Tyranitar, Gyarados, or Even a Dragon!

    Unless I'm mistaken, Life Orb damage doesn't happen when the last Pokemon is KO'd.

    A Warstory Without Blissey, Tyranitar, Gyarados, or Even a Dragon!

    Howdy y’all. It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a warstory, so I figured it was about time to bore everyone to death again. Well, recently I’ve become addicted to Shoddy Battle, so great battles come around every once in a while. If you like long, extremely close matches, you... may like...

    What is THE best Calm mind user?

    I've swept quite a few teams with CM Mismagius. For some reason, stubborn people like to keep Blissey in or even CM with Cresselia as I max out... a sweep ensues. In addition, getting swept by a CM Suicune caused me to put a PHazer on every one of my teams. In fact, I started using PHazing...

    Who do YOU start with in battle?

    I've switched off with a few different leads. All of them have been extremely successful. Staraptor@Choice Scarf Brave Bird Close Combat Return U-Turn For a while, this was my staple opener. It packs a huge punch, and the Scarf gets it a lot of easy kills. Manectric@Life Orb Substitute...

    Yawn tendencies?

    Oddly enough, most of my opponents completely forget that I used Yawn in the first place. Then I get, "wtf, why did I fall asleep?" If it's a fragile Pokemon that's trying to stat-up, then usually the opponent switches before Sleep comes into effect. If it's a bulkier Pokemon that can take a...

    Which pokemon do you start with?

    I've had a lot of success with this guy. Magmortar @Life Orb Fire Blast / Flamethrower Thunderbolt Substitute Focus Punch It's great for countering a lot of common leads. Usually I see Bronzong, Breloom, Yanmega, or Gyarados leads, and this has an answer to all of them. Substitute is normally...
