UPDATE Since the original post, two more vgc formats have been hosted at the ROA: vgc2011 in April 2025, and most recently vgc2018 in July 2025. With 60004 (sixty thousand and four) games played, vgc2018 now holds the record for the most games played in a ROA format for (at least) the past...

Utter nonsense of a game, but I think it qualifies! Where He At Doe? and You Leave Me With No Choice! and Underrated (Venusaur) and In Practice and Attack! Attack! Attack! https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8doublesou-1295049268-7k4ied9f6lg9zn8ic0ubwz010l2scispw Update: Super Underrated...

Hello. I discovered this post after having played several games on a non-“DOULA” account. However, it has the exact same name as my username here, so I hope it’s not an issue. Preservation https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8doublesou-1286607160-jtxijl3pkzoqwhq4afgtad2gs39n2gdpw Underrated...
