I'm considering attending just for the pleasure of haxing out OmegaDonut. However, I would need to find living accomodations.
Too expensive. Otherwise I'd totally go. ):Hope it's not too off topic, but what do y'all think of the location of the "Very, VERY Last Chance Qualifier"? Are you happy with it because it's an amazing place, or are you unhappy with it because it's too expensive to get there?
Bullshit man. Dedication has NOTHING to do with the financial means to go to the Worlds. Either you have fuckin rich parents or you work your ass off and don't care about your family and social life and whatnot. This is valid for both the LCQ and unpaid invitations.As a last chance qualifier (for real this time!!) the location sucks for Americans and Europeans given how expensive it is to get there. However, that's really not the point. I mean, I will be rooting for OmegaDonut and the rest as much as the next person (probably a lot more), but the worlds last chance qualifier should really only be for the most dedicated of Pokemon trainers. This prevents people from just showing up because it's an hour away (cali, florida, indy..........) and having a chance to qualify for the WORLD Pokemon Tournament. Unlike Synre, I don't find it insulting that there's a second last chance, but really the only people the location sucks for are those who received an invitation to compete in Worlds but not the free trip.
That being said, give em hell, Donut!
Thanks for the encouragement - i will do my best to not play dumb in the 4th round again.My picks to make it in the LCQ:
- drcossack or ultimatedra
He is using a completely different team. I should know seeing I came up with it and RNG'ed 4/6 of the team and EV'ed 4/6 and gave the movesets to 4/6. So he's obvoiusly one of my top picks because of how I did that. I did some special CP and special BP just for that new team. Hopefully you'll all enjoy the pokemon NN'ed "Human FTW!" (Hey, I didn't ask him to NN it that, he chose to NN it that!), that is probably one of the most interesting pokemon on his team.You probably will want to use a different team, Milan. Our videos get watched and picked over as much as we do to the Japanese. They'll know what you used in Nationals. Count on it. :)
You wound me, Mike! Paul told me he won't be able to make it due to the cost, so if I do end up going (which is a very real possibility at this point), I will probably be using a team conceived by him, TTS, and myself.Thanks for the compliments! PokemanMaster, I'll still need luck to win it, because I'm pretty certain the big winners of the tournament are a) skilled people and b) lucky enough to beat out the other equally-skilled people.
My picks to make it in the LCQ:
- Trench Kamen
- WaterPokemonMaster and\or HagridTwin
- zerowing (if he comes)
- xerograde
- sister of the Junior National Champion (she had the unfortunate luck of facing xerograde 1st round in Phoenix, and me at Nats LCQ; she engineered his winning team)
- imperfectluck (if he uses a less silly lead than Jynx\Wobbuffet!)
- drcossack or ultimatedra
- myself

Hey, I didn't know you were going. If not zerowing, you're my pick.You wound me, Mike! Paul told me he won't be able to make it due to the cost, so if I do end up going (which is a very real possibility at this point), I will probably be using a team conceived by him, TTS, and myself.

Ouch, that sucks, and, uh, yeah. lol.Don't worry, I'm officially not going now =( Noob driving (protip: changing the song on your ipod while turning is a bad idea) led to me incurring a large unexpected loss, coupled with my parents' hesistancy to let me go to Hawaii alone, has dashed my hopes. If anyone wants to discuss strategy and/or practice, I would love to help.
My status is actually looking decent now, I forgot I had won $350 from fantasy football last year (that I haven't gotten yet), just want about $100 more and I'll be good money-wise. The only other problem as of right now is if I'll be in New York or California when Worlds does roll around.
