  1. A nationals warstory

    I wasn’t sure if I should take the time to write this up, but with such a vacuum of time and energy created in the wake of the VGC ending for me – well I figured at the very least I would enjoy writing it even if nobody was interested. Backstory: So after trick rock received such a skeptical...
  2. Probability my ass (Semi-lame Nationals Report)

    Nope, wasn't me. I was running a trickroom team - and battled Enfuego rd. 6.
  3. Probability my ass (Semi-lame Nationals Report)

    I can help you out with round 3. I actually recorded the match when we were done. No Ho-oh on my team, btw. Not sure who you fought that crit'd your rotom turn 1 with Sacred fire ... but wasn't me. team was kyogre, dusknoir, snorlax, and lapras (I might post some details in a separate post...
  4. United States Nationals Thread - WON BY WESLEY MORIOKA

    I made top 8 in Dallas and plan to attend ... but as I did not join until after the regional qualifier, perhaps I don't count.
  5. A 24 hour Atlanta warstory

    It is when thrown by scrappy kangaskahn
  6. Practice VGC Battles Online

    I received the anti-spyware soft virus within an hour or so of downloading PO a week ago. I had let my AV expire and had to quickly update. Mcafee recognized and removed it quickly once I updated, but it was a vicious and painful virus until the anti-virus kicked in. I'm not saying I got it...
  7. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - VGC edition

    While it is a good idea to bring it, the majority of what I have seen has not required proof. I am fairly certain that the big requirement for proof of age will be when someone that looks like they belong in seniors tries to get into juniors - in which case a DL won't suffice ... as they...
  8. Trick Rock

    Firestorm …. You make valid points. If calling anyone arrogant came off as arrogant, then I do humbly apologize – and I mean that sincerely. I am a strategist and enjoy the game far more than anything. I learned back when I played Magic: The Gathering competitively that going against the 4 or 5...
  9. Trick Rock

    @Xerograde, Sir_Lu, Xplay, Ninahaza, Darkwatch – Thank you. @Locopoke – You are right, I would have likely lost to an opening Surf/Waterspout combo … not a very common lead. I guess I was just a lucky SOB afterall. I predicted heavy top/ogre leads. I predicted occasional variants. As I stated...
  10. Trick Rock

    Being new, I am not sure the proper etiquette to posting – but I figured there was no point in continuing the discussion in the Dallas VGC thread and I would move this to it’s own discussion – hope this is okay. Someone responded back to you regarding fake out – and yes double protect was one...
  11. US Regional Qualifier - Dallas, TX, May 29, 2010 - WON BY JGILES

    I am not going to post a war story, as I would not be able to get the details right. I can’t remember every move, so please – take the below as my pseudo war-story. It will explain things. I didn’t want to explain everything – because honestly, I’m very proud of the team and would rather hold it...
  12. US Regional Qualifier - Dallas, TX, May 29, 2010 - WON BY JGILES

    Ahhh - allow me to clear that up for you, since your information is somewhat off. I hit massive amounts of rain. The thing about me team that you are forgetting is that I have sandstream on two pokemon. As you know - sandstorm not only hurts them and breaks focus sash - but it also raises my...
  13. US Regional Qualifier - Dallas, TX, May 29, 2010 - WON BY JGILES

    Wow - I really hate to get in debates or beat the horse zonkers - but here goes. Rather than say "hrmm maybe there is something different about this team" I get "joo lucky" "joo ridiculous" "joo are the Suxxorz" - but you are right, nothing elitist about my obvious and clear lack of knowledge...
  14. US Regional Qualifier - Dallas, TX, May 29, 2010 - WON BY JGILES

    Well second hand information is worth .... anyway, to the point the missing poke is actually one of my leads - and it was Hippo. I am curious how you ran your calcs when you don't know the poke's their IV's their EVs or their moveset ... or heck - even their held items. I gather you are well...
  15. US Regional Qualifier - Dallas, TX, May 29, 2010 - WON BY JGILES

    @Firestorm "The reason I said you lucked out on your way there was because I'd heard you used Crunch on Tyranitar. I look forward to your warstory to see how you got past all the Kyogres and stuff." Actually I used Crunch on my hippo to hit his top - not that it speaks much to my abilities...
  16. US Regional Qualifier - Dallas, TX, May 29, 2010 - WON BY JGILES

    I am sorry if it sounded like I believed I was being called out by drcossack. I knew he wasn't referring to me - I was just saying that when originality is called out as negative and lucky it is no wonder there is such a lack of desire to run creative and fresh teams. If anything, I am in high...
  17. US Regional Qualifier - Dallas, TX, May 29, 2010 - WON BY JGILES

    So I’m new here and all – someone at the Dallas tournament suggested I check this out … I read some comments, and debated even wasting the time to respond – but enough comments rubbed me the wrong way enough to respond… Now I hate to sound hostile to a new community that has many members (from...
