First of all thank you for taking the time to do this, I'm sure the community will be very interested in hearing from you. Would you mind telling us a bit about yourself? How did you get the name style.css?
Thanks for talking to me. I've been around for longer than I care to admit but have always liked Monotype before I even knew what it was. I've always loved computers, building them and creating stuff with them. I have a bunch of default file names as alts but I thought this one would be the most stylish
How long have you been a part of the monotype community? How did you first get involved?
Like I said, I've been around for a while but it wasn't until the start of last generation that I really started to get involved. I had some friends making their breakout performances and looking to help out the community more so I wanted to do the same. (If I'm honest, getting a custom avatar was a big driving factor at first, but now I want to do whatever I can to support the Monotype community and keep it growing/thriving).
Do you have a favorite monotype / ps moment that sticks out to you in particular?
Oooh, this is a hard one. I enjoy team tours the most and the best team I've been apart of is Wayward Wakes last MPL. Everyone was amazing and it was such a great experience compared to any other team I've been on (even though I had to put up with plunder's shenanigans)
If you were to be the tier leader for a day, what would you do? What about in National Dex Monotype?
If I was Tier Leader in Mono I probably wouldn't do much different at this moment. The changes in Tier Leaders/council lately are starting to really gain momentum and Monotype is quickly addressing the problems we've had for a while now. I'm super optimistic and appreciate all the hard work the Tier Leaders and council members have been doing.
Since I already am Tier Leader of NDM, I'd do what I'm always doing. Trying to build the tier up, get exposure and create a better relationship with Monotype. NDM has grown tremendously this gen and the format is so much fun. Being a partner tier with Monotype is the most logical next step in my eyes and I hope that in the future the two formats can work together to help each other grow even more.
Do you have any advice for new players? How to get better at the game, how to get more involved with the community?
Obviously the first thing has to be to just play as many games, tours, friendlies as possible. The more games you play, the more experience which lets you become more in tune with the meta and what plays make the most sense. To get involved start with helping out in the Mono room. Try to help others with their teams, answer questions and maybe try to start helping host tours like Tour Nights. Staff is really good at seeing who is putting in the work and it's only up from there (that's how I started).
Is there a team that you think encapsulates your style of play best that you wouldn't mind sharing with us?
Generation 8 Monotype Dragon - https://pokepast.es/c13664cf2f324457
I've always like Dragon in any gen. It's not an SV team, but this team from Gen 8 is a good example. When I build I love to keep things mostly standard with one or two kind of weird techs. In this case, Belch Hydreigon which is amazing in checking Fairy types which Dragalge can't handle on it's own. I'm sure many people who have played with me know that I am a madman for trying to find the "perfect" EV spreads.
Thank you so much for your time! Is there anybody you would like to give a shoutout to?
First off you for taking the time to interview me. The whole Monotype community deserves a shoutout for being amazing. and I definitely don't want to shout out the two people who have never been there for me for years now plunder and Leafium Z (to be clear for those who don't know, these two are some of the greatest people you'll ever meet).
