Strange, I think I've fought more people with rain this time compared to the Spring International Challenge

What's the lowest rated person anyone has faced?
You can't lose points if you win. Though you probably will not gain anything.

The lowest rated player I've faced was 1112 last Wi-fi Tourney

I was joking. I know it's hard to convey/detect sarcasm online.

Ugh facing that Zach with the Rain Team now.

Edit: And like clockwork, just as they're about to lose, they disconnect.

@R Inanimate: Yeah, kimiko<3 would be her. You were her 2nd opponent. She won her first match (guess it didn't update her rating yet) against a non-competitive team.

I fought someone called Zero RO (or was it RD? I can't read my writing) with a rating of 1106 (lowest I saw and battled). Battle ended in two turns. He led with a Cubchoo. So cute!

I uploaded a close battle. I won 2-0, but things could have gone either way if he didn't make a mistake. But then I made a mistake too first turn. Not the best match ever or anything, but I saved and uploaded cuz I don't usually do that kind of thing.

Did he use an Encore + Beat Up Whimsicott, like the last two times? (yes, I know it's an illegal combination)

I'm starting to feel I completely jumped the gun on this tournament... 3-9-5, been doing nothing but losing all day. *sigh*

Not proud whatsoever, but it's my first tournament with my first real team, so... bluh. :<

I shouldn't be complaining, but the skill level in this tournament is just appalling. I've gotten to 1710 in my first day of playing and had maybe 5 decent battles. I'm even seeing players around 1600 who don't seem to have any idea what they're doing. Even the Autumn Friendly wasn't this bad; I guess it's because more people have the game. I can take one look at 80% of the teams I face and call the win.

I sound snooty but honestly, I'm not sure if I like this tourney overall.

UPDATED THE OP. I'm certain I didn't miss anyone.

It was bad enough reading every post from the last few days trying to add more people to the participants list. I'll put in links later.

It's a good teaching opportunity. Gotta let him know how to lose with dignity and respect.

Same guy I faced. Sad. I would have just stopped playing a long time ago.
