Hey Guys, I'm a long time lurker, and competitive player for about a year now. I've been playing pokemon since the start, at a young age with my brothers. pokemon has always been a strong bond we all shared as a childhood, and got us through some tough times as a family (we all have bitching tatoos of the sprites from r/b! mines Gary since he's a G ofc.)
I'm really excited to dig deeper into this game, since ive only been playing for a year and i feel ive hit a wall that i need some guidance on how to really learn competitive. I primarily play OU, but id be interested in jumping in ubers, little cup, or any tier someone could convince me trying. Im a very passive play style, so stall teams, or hyper defense is where i like to play, and because im a primarily Showdown player, i enjoy mixing it up every-so-often.
A little more about me, i'm 20 years old, working a full time and a part time job. I'm a huge gamer, but i almost exclusively play competitive games (this excludes every side-scroller you can think of, because honestly im a sucker for those, and grindy MMORPGS, like WoW, maplestory, etc.) I'm very large in the "turn based" competitive games. I was a high level MTG player for almost 7 years till i finally quit because i couldn't afford to keep up. Im also a huge Hearthstone player, dedicating at least 4 hours a day to it (i'm gonna start streaming soon, once i get my own place). The onyl other game im hypoer into would be competitive melee. i rep the NEOH/PGH area, and am really "enchanted" by the depth and unique play that game brings.
Honestly, i'm just so excited to be here, get connected, and learn how to play with the big dogs!
