Can I just say, in terms of seeing competitive Pokémon out in the wild, for the last year or so with SV’s release, it feels like I’m seeing it on the wider internet’s wilds way more than ever before?

I was on an account not tethered at all to my Smogon self and all of a sudden a CAP submission popped up in my feed. The forces of ruin and their various memes have touched every corner of the world. YouTube keeps trying to recommend me vinettes on competitive Pokémon minuta with upward of 100K views. Now there’s this. We’re big now y’all. I can’t escape Smogon even while not on Smogon.
 
lol i feel like this when my friends (none into it like me just know maybe... gen 1&2) a pokemon reference and i randomly have a "have to check myself break down" tryna not be THAT GUY
I'm not so much into competitive but i was a tot with Gen1 and grew up through em all.
I think the one time I actually lobbed extra info to people and they were like "Wow that's actually cool and creepy" is me telling Banette's backstory cus they shared a meme lmao.
 
I feel a lot more people at my school have played showdown lol, the other day a 10th grader pulled up and said "Yo your playing showdown? I know someone that plays that game"
 
I knew I liked Drew. Excited for the revenge of Fishbach over JT (hopefully).

But also lol, "JT" in this scenario, Austin, is literally friends with Wolfe Glick.
