Lack of confidence in one's English certainly plays a role, but I think this is more of a cultural difference than anything else. Japanese people are shy and don't really feel comfortable posting information about themselves for public view, even if it has nothing to do with self-PR. Modesty...

Xerograde has always been an awesome player. I remember the torrent of Rock Slides he sent at me in last year's Nationals, just burying me before I could execute a single attack. I was really upset he did not advance with a 4-1 record in the yellow flight. ~Halordain

Thomas, those comments about Steven and Grace are out of line. I think they both played very well! If there was one difference I noticed between the Japanese and American players, it was that the Japanese never trashed other players, gaijin or not. Over dinner and during practice battles...

(My attempt at a productive post) Are you feeling it yet? The massive amount of breeding, that is. Is your thumb tired yet from all the north-south cycling from Route 209 to Route 210? Are your eyes watering from overexposure to the (slightly) smaller DS screen? Do you have the print of...

Paul (zerowing), Ray (bluecookies), Thomas (pkmnbb), Jeremy (bontakun), and Berton (Bluekikatana) are all fantastic players. Some of the ones I didn't meet are also great players. We very easily could have won more matches. Pokemon 4v4 double battles between two good players very often come down...

Hack Checking Hey all, My opinion is not worth much in the grand scheme, but it seems like hacking has become a hot topic. Zerowing's first-round opponent, era404's recent posting on YouTube dissecting my trainer pass, and a mother accusing a Japanese junior of a hacked Pokemon... lots of...

Stray Thoughts Duckster, I knew the opponents remaining in the final three and I had ideal matchups for each of them: Trick Room Hail with Slowking and Machamp for the Cresselia/Latios/Latias/Metagross team and the champion's Smeargle/Bronzong/Snorlax/Metagross, Rain for...

Champions Listening to the conclusions of each clip, I can answer my own question: Masataka Ishii won Sapporo (Zapdos/Metagross/Ludicolo/Kingdra). I believe he is the green cap wearing guy in the Osaka video. Yasuhito Kajiwara won Makuhari (Cresselia/Latias/Latios/Metagross). Raising his...

Thank you for your observations, Duckster. What were the names of the Sapporo, Fukuoka, and Yokohama winners? Do you also have the names of the second place winners? Where did you learn of these names? Again, thanks for the intelligence.
