I hope this won't lead to a raise in tuition prices. They are already forcing me deep into debt.

It needs more Jeremy Lin.

This makes me feel warm and fuzzy. And nostalgic. Ah, the times of using Sharpedo in OU. I like the article. Not too arrogant.

 

[MegaKick]

Locopoke for post of the year?

 

[az]

the comments make me wanna die

 

[Atticus]

of laughter

 

[VKCA]

this is fucking strange, and I'm not sure I can exist with this exactly.

also gahhh:

There is a certain nostalgic charm to the whole idea of competitive Pokémon; it is enjoyable now because it was enjoyable then. Although it’s essentially chess on steroids with sound effects and bright colors, it’s sustained by an affable collective of gamers who still love those silly little Pokémon games.

oh fuck the comments

 

[Invective]

Haha, ibojangles mentioned on irc how hilarious it is how often she mentions she goes to harvard.

If only we noticed this earlier. Then the author would be more likely to read the comments.

 

[havoc]

no mention of Smogon's own Harvard graduate, user: Jumpman16?

locopoke might be the most obnoxious person i have ever had the displeasure of sharing words with, but god damn that comment made me laugh

 

[Every1XplodeNOW]

Her email is at the bottom, maybe someone should shoot her one. ;)

am being the Bobby Fischer of pokemon did make me chuckle.

 

[The Knights of Wario Land]

Our dreams of Smogon becoming a nationally-respected source are that much closer now.

 

[Badal]

Hahaha, this was good. It almost makes it sound pretty okay for me to wear my SmogonU hoodie around.

 

[TheMantyke]

That locopoke comment was golden.

 

[6A9 Ace Matador]

i challenge anyone who DOESN'T think so to beat me

come on

 

[BattleStar]

Hey it's Fischer! Who is your Russian rival?

 

[TheWalrus9]

"bobby fischer, where is he? i dunno, i dunno"

first thing i thought of. good old SNL.

interesting read, though I would agree with one of the comments that the first thing to do is steal a team from the smog, then adjust accordingly. but brand recognition is cool for smogon.

 

[Acklow]

I'm Russian so does that make me his rival?
