As some of you know, I am looking at updating my RBY guide. But the whole project has kinda grown out of hand, and at the moment I am just trying to get the prediction chapter done before the baby is born (that one chapter is gonna be at least 20 pages at this point).
A while back I hosted an exhibition series on Pokemon Perfect to get a bunch of logs to use as examples in the guide, but I didnt really get enough to cover all of the scenarios I want to highlight. I could just use my own battles. But the issue with that is that if I use situations where I do something clever, it feels like I am just showing off, and if I use situations where my opponents do clever things, its even worse, cause it feels like I am just trying to excuse away all of my losses.
So instead, I figured I would ask you guys to post all your favourite RBY replays/logs. In particular I am looking for real glamour plays/predictions. If you ever made a prediction you are particularly proud of, or if its something you watched that made you go "how in the hell did they do that?" Then that's the kind of thing I'm looking for.
Here are a couple of my favourites:

From turn 32 on this one, Roudolf chips Teddeh's Exeggutor into Blizzard range with Double-Edge Recoil, to ensure Teddeh can't get a sleep off.

This was one of my favourite battles to watch ever. With both players taking turns to take huge risks to get themselves back into the game after some misfortune put them almost out of it.
Finding these is pretty tough when they arent your own games, so I am just gonna start with these two for now. There is one of Soulwind's games from Cup or Classic last year which I remember being blown away by, but I haven't had the time to get through them all yet.

This was the Soulwind game. I guess its more getting a lot of turns right, rather than one big showstopper. But cool nonetheless..
