Ranking teams by names -
7 - :virizion: W VIRIZZIONS - They didn't even spell the mons name right wtf.
6 - :gholdengo: Gods as Ghold - They tried to pun but Gods as Ghold doesn't mean anything really. Actively bothers me tbh.
5 - :wigglytuff: Wiggly Family - Your family should not be Wiggly. Ask a doctor to see if Scream Tail is right for you. I like long-standing teams in OMPL ^_^
4 - :solgaleo: Soul-Stealing Seven-Star Solgaleos - An acceptable name, but SSSSS is Marshadow's move not Solgaleo's :o
3 - :flutter_mane: Fluttermania - I'm picturing Flutter Mane dressed like Kukui's wrestling alter ego. Fun name, but not absolutely brilliant.
2 - :necrozma-ultra: Photon Geezers - A pun, which is the best name type besides the my team type. It's a good one too tbh, and I like old people jokes because I'm old.
1 - :dubwool: Dubwool Entendres - Got a pun that means double meaning hahahaha classic.
0 - :tyranitar: The Terrible Tyrants - Best team best name WE GONNA CRUNCH Y'ALL!

Ok hello hi as I said in the signup post I have not played OMs since last OMPL. This tournament is now my yearly involvement in OMs going forward (probably). This means I have no fucking idea what's happening because gen 9 is an awful gen and introduced a million fuckshit mechanics. I cannot magically support every slot like I was trying to do for 2.5 years. I cannot even guarantee that I will take an interest in anything happening outside of my own slot, since the last time I was only a player here was 4 years ago. I also cannot guarantee that I will be really good at all of the metas like in Gen 8/7 as this is the most mechanically rich (shit) gen I have ever seen. With this in mind I have put my signup as MnM/all because I feel that MnM is the meta in which I am least likely to forget basic stuff in (there's also NFE I guess, I am assuming starting in NFE is incompatible with whatever my price ends up being). Maybe I can branch out into other metas as well, if you want me to do that I'd recommend talking to me first. If you want me to give vacuous opinions on your draft plan because you're expecting to draft me, you can pm me. I can tell you who I thought was good last year, that's about it - I have not watched any of the recent tours so I can't speak to their proficiency in gen 9 OMs. Also my general mons activity is lower this year than most of you will be used to, and that activity now includes time spent in OU, so keep that in mind I guess - I doubt said activity will be low enough to cause any real problems, just means I won't be looking to carry any team for various reasons mentioned here.

Thank you for reading byeeeee
