National Dex Leader

Our longest tenured CL has entered retirement and in our search for a replacement we've thought long and hard about what Sealoo brings to the table. Some might say his community and tournament leadership while others would point to being at the forefront of teambuilding and metagame innovations. While it will be difficult to replace Sealeo, National Dex must modernize. Consequently, we are happy to announce that ElectraineHeart will be the newest National Dex Leader!

:sv/primarina:

On a more serious note, Traine has long been a pillar of the National Dex community and her promotion probably doesn't come as a surprise to anyone. She is already a fantastic moderator, council member, and room owner and will undoubtedly be a great CL! We are excited to have her and to make a proper announcement!​

What even is a CL?

Community Leader, basically a fancier staff position than Forum Mod, typically by leading a given group of staff / section or simply being a leading example of staff (case in point, me), only behind Senior Staff and above.

All of that said, congratulations Electraine! I'm sure ND is in good hands.
 
ty for all the congratulations everyone, it makes me happy and i appreciate it :)

i primarily want to give a very special and important shoutout to Lameflame who really inspired me to improve at the game in general ever since my first nd individual (nd winter ssnl 2024, the first ever tour i entered) and is the whole reason ive continued playing nd as a whole as my personal best friend on the site that i am deeply thankful for. Without him, i probably would not have been here today to even have the chances to interact in the community as council, a tournament player even across many different tours aside from national dex because he helped instill that confidence in me, and so on. People should put major respect on your name for your character and how you approach all aspects of the game, never going to forget you goat :)

The ND circuit finals loss last year really hit me hard and i know i said then id be going away from natdex, but ive had a change of heart and gained more maturity mentally so im ready to serve the community in the best way i can first and foremost :)

Man, I honestly can't imagine the NatDex scene without you. You inspired me to improve my v1 of my signature balance team. You are a constant presence in the ND chat room on PS!, your tips helped me so much. If it weren't for you, I may have not registered for Smogon Forums to submit the 10th iteration as a sample. Thank you so much for everything you've done!

Edit: unrelated but the title of Community Leader looks great below your badge case!

As someone close I can only say that this has been a very hectic year, so to see my best friend better than ever through continued perseverance and trust despite every justifiable reason to leave makes me extremely happy, congrats and much love!! :heart::heart:
