I saw this battle before the link was posted but I thought it was nowhere near as entertaining to watch as the Senior match, the Hail team dominated that other kid's team 3-0 and it was half the time of the Senior match.Hey, not sure if you guys care but here is the junior match:
He/She used a hail team, Cool!

Now just to clarify...did they know what they were doing, as in they were competent battlers, or did they know what they were doing as in solely reading stuff off the internet? I mean, any noob with internet access can learn to EV train and stuff, but it takes someone of a higher skill to be able to plan properly and actually use a team.About 2/3 of the people knew what they where doing i would say.
i would say that 2/3 of the people who got in knew what they where doing. the other 1/3 where n00s or internet readers without practice.Now just to clarify...did they know what they were doing, as in they were competent battlers, or did they know what they were doing as in solely reading stuff off the internet?

From what I saw, no, they were all white with red writing. Or maybe black writing idr now. Mine had SEA written in red sharpie on it which I assume stands for the city.i thought they gave out different color rist bands too along with numbers and pokemon
people with guest wristbands could sit in the finalest lounge with their friend who made it into the finals.After registering in the Senior division, you got a White wrsitband with a Pokemon name and number on it. If you were selected you got an additional blue wristband. I'm not sure what colour the junior division wristbands were. There was also a guest wristband that was green. The guest wristbands were supposed to be used to identify friends and family of the competitors. I asked what the guest wristbands were for but I don't reeally remember any more. I think it was if the event started to fill to capacity, people with guest wristbands would be given priority for staying.
Yea I realized that Dark Void wasn't really necessary at that point. As for Shadow Sneak, that would act before Endeavor, so I wouldn't be able to KO anything in one turn.
As for that last battle, I'll be writing about it in my warstory. I made a couple missteps and had a little bad luck. It would have been nice to win for the prestige and the plaque-ish thing, but I'm just happy I get that free trip to Nellyville.
My warstory just got deleted by the way (fucking Safari), so I'll rewrite it and post it tomorrow.

If Seattle got around 256, I can expect Philadelphia may get 1000 which will reduce our chances of even participating. I will probably make a last minute decision to make the drive there depending on how ready we feel our teams are at the time.
Seattle has around 590,000. Philadelphia has around 1,400,000. Also remember Washington D.C. has around 600,000, there will be a lot of Canadians, and there are 12,000,000 in Greater New York (The area around the City).Woah, woah,...
I don't follow your math? 1000?!?!?!? Really?!?!?
Nah 256 is much too high. Seniors maxed at 220 or less, unless you're counting seniors and juniors together.If Seattle got around 256, I can expect Philadelphia may get 1000 which will reduce our chances of even participating.
That is good to know! i bet everybody who will be playing in europe will be happy to hear this.I don't know if any of you want to know this or care but I just recieved an email from the pokemon vgc customer service and it says platinum move tutors are allowed for the European events.

I predict 1200 seniors, and possibly 1000 juniors. I don't think the Valley Forge Convention Center has enough room to fit 2200 competitors and their family+friends. TPCi is trying to fit everyone into 2 rooms...
It is too bad i will be winning in Cali. no freaking lame miss hax this time around.@ExpertEvan and Mosquitox216
imagine that all that counting was for nothing and only 200+ people actually make it.lol
also so far no 1st place smogon winners? im hoping to see some next tourny, ^_^
lol, bring it on dude. I'm going for 1st.It is too bad i will be winning in Cali. no freaking lame miss hax this time around.
