Thank you very much Huy! I'm sure glad I was born in 1996!

SENIORS DIVISION <3

So happy! :)

I DON'T HAVE TO COMPETE WITH (MOST OF) YOU GUYS!

 

[theamericandream38]

YEAHHHHHH 3 DIVISIONS LETS DO THIS SHIT

 

[Wildfire]

Now I have a chance to win something!

 

[Human]

Sorry Canada "The series starts this spring and consists of multiple events across the United States and Europe"

United States and Europe, no mention about North America or Canada. Let's see if you can steal a spot this year!

 

[Zog]

Damn it, I wanted to beat down on kiddies. How else am I supposed to qualify?!?! :(

 

[Mosquito]

Yes, I was born in 1996! Now I don't have to fight you older Smoggers. Ugh, I still have Cybertron and Human to deal with in NE though....

 

[tofucocoa]

WHAT NO

IM A QUALIFIED OLD PERSON

 

[Huy]

I'm happy and sad about the three age divisions. Happy, because this means I'm the odds on favorite to win at Dallas.(I think Alaska and Tyler were both born before 1995.) Maybe I'd better just make a pros/cons thing:
Pros
I will beast in my age division
(Barring hax) almost free ride to nats

Cons
Won't feel like I did anything against twelve year olds.
Won't get to compete with the absolute best.
Will have skewed battling times for divisions, so less hanging out with Smogonites.
If I do well, people (older Smogonites) can be all "but you didn't play against the best.

Cause Cybertron, Jeremy Fann, and the Arnold kids aren't gonna do well.

BRILLIANT
SENIOR DIVISION FOR THE WIN
Now I can avoid battling Huy, Duy, Deagle, and BadIntent.
You guys were all born after 1995, right?
Man I'm so winning.

Which Regional?

 

[HolyChipmunk]

Which Regional?

California regional (San Mateo again?)
hbu?

EDIT: I think they might have to have multiple age divisions playing at the same time, otherwise it's gonna take forever to get all 3 in.

 

[Huy]

OK, I'd rather compete against the best COMBINED. Not knocking anyone else, but I want to compete against all the best of the best. I mean, really, what Smogonite is stopping me from rampaging through Dallas?

Like no one ever was? To catch them is your real test? To Train them is your cause?

Just be wary of randoms.

 

[Human]

None, but at Nationals us from the Northeast will stop you from rampaging there.

 

[Cybertron]

just kidding :)

I immediately retract my previous bold statement, watch me lose now. (why do I have to get a big head :()

Also lucariojr you're in Senior Division? Cool.

 

[Feathers]

damn it, i was born in 1993.

this complicates things. xD JUST CALL BUDDY RULE EVERYWHERE

 

[Human]

There probably won't be buddy rule for this VGC which really sucks.

 

[Ace Emerald]

Ffffffffff. 1995. I'll be up against good people... Any really good people at the NJ regional?Though I will say I'm loving the title 'master'. Makes me feel more pro then I am.


Edit:
What's a buddy rule?

 

[tofucocoa]

There probably won't be buddy rule for this VGC which really sucks.

depends on were you're at/who your attendant is

if a stop is in Mississippi buddy rule will be all over the place

You better start practicing now. Northeastern regional has the most amount of people to begin with and the most amount of good people. Definitely the most difficult Regional.

EDIT:
Also I meant that there won't be buddy rule because of how the tournament is being run.
Seeing how the tournament mode on BW is being used I doubt that they can even have the buddy rule.
