I forget, how many stops did JAA have in the US?

I heard someone yell that plenty of times. You ARE brave, my friend. Philly sports fans are... rabid.

I hope enough people write to them about this Philly stop that they realize sending over 400 people home with nothing more than a shiny Pokémon is an absolute failure of an event.

My friends weren't wearing any green shirts, they mean someone else. My friends weren't running around SCREAMING the entire time, damn.

What's up with everyone hating on being loud and obnoxious at 10 am?

Those who could not get their hands on a Zapdos used Lanturn, Porygon-Z... The best part is that so few of them even knew how to use it. Standing on the shoulders of giants and all that, you know?

OH GOD, if we could convince TPC to consider this... it would mean a world of difference. Maybe have some sort of expert division. They'll probably never understand our plight, though.

Every battle I saw on one of those big TVs was a version of the Garchomp w/ Discharge strategy. Looking across 4 TVs, I saw 6 Garchomps. Popular approach, huh? I didn't notice any of the piece o' crap teams BlueCookies mentioned, but I also moved away from the screens before too long.

There's a bus... I don't remember the number 220something? 224? Check Septa.com. The first one of the morning barely gets there in time...

PBB, I know you didn't get selected BOTH times you went to a regional this year... I'm sorry you hit such a bad spot of luck. I can't help but dread the same will happen to me. I didn't get in with the odds on my side last year, they're going to be STACKED this year... It's a little stressful.

Not fearful, just curious. Invictus makes a good point though, people are being much more creative this year than last. If you're on your lonesome, keep an eye out for a scruffy looking white guy in a blue shirt with Ness' logo on it from Smash Bros.. I'll be with a dreadlocked fellow and a big...

I'm going with a group of 8, but only 3 of us will be attempting to compete. Are Trick Room teams still being use frequently?
