I'm sixteen year-old girl, I both love and hate pokemon. When I had Red version, I got every single drop of use out of it caught them all, traded in one go with a random other kid, and glitched a mew (so unfair that they didn't give any other ways to get it!) and did it all over, then got bored and glitched it up so bad there was no such thing as Snorlax, no matter how many new games (true story!).
then the next one came out. did it with that too, then the next one... I gave up, It just wasn't fun without anyone else, and I still was bitter about the lie that is the 151...
Then I found Showdown. Epic-ness ensued.
I have a hobby of trying to break the pokemon Tiers. It is fun :D
(Achievements to date: Broke OU with a Liepard, Swagger and Foul Play (A few months ago - from 5/25/14) Today I broke Hackmons (not that it wasn't already broken) by giving an electric type an Air Balloon and Wonder Guard. (again, 5/25/14) it can be defeated with status, so of course it isn't all the way broken, just like Liepard didn't either.
Sweeped a team of six with one pokemon (2 by 5/14/14), got a tie (2 by 5/9/14), Roared a HUGE baton-chain away, got cursed at and called a hacker (sore loser! XD) Won 5 times in a row, won 6 times in a row with 1v1. )
The best Nuzlocke comics on the web, for their characters, stories that go above and beyond, and most of all - how AWESOME they look!

Shoelesscosmonaut's characters and art is just fantastic, very professional and only get's better! The style reminds me a lot of Kim Possible, and the pokemon are very unique and have a lot of character.
