Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I'm completely new to competitive pokemon, but I would love(LOVE) to come to this regional. It's about eight hours away form upstate NY so I have to practice a LOT and learn all about team building, and RNG stuff or find trades. I seriously hope I will be able to be ready in time. It was be...
