Surely Pokémon Legends ZA features new Zygarde forms right? We already know 10% (dog) and 50% (snake), get ready for 25% (Park Bench) and 67% (Garchomp)!
The date is May 15, 2024
Pokémon Showdown has been offline for over 24 hours
VGC players everywhere remain lost and confused
Rioting has broken out in the streets
Will the madness ever end
Open teamsheets. Closed teamsheets. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorite teamsheets.
I guess most people have known for a while but I've never made it fully public
Hi, I'm Jake and I'm gay 🏳️🌈
A lot of wonderful people in this community were instrumental in me accepting and loving every part of myself. If you're struggling or questioning, I'm here to help you ♥️
I moved in with my boyfriend a couple weeks ago and he installed these little shelves in our living room and put one of my Victini plush next to a Jolteon (his favorite Pokémon) plush I got him and it's so cute 😭😭😭
NAIC 2024 ✅️
Proud of myself for accomplishing a big goal of mine and casting my first International Championship. What an incredible weekend of VGC to finish off an amazing season. Can't wait to come back even better for 2025. Love y'all 😘
Going out to eat with top Pokémon players after majors is so funny because you ask them what they got, and they tell you about what place they got at the event
No, I’m trying to ask you what’s good to eat 😭
Still feels surreal. My first opportunity to join this amazing team three years ago got cut short, but I held onto hope that I'd be back. And now I am 🙂
Catch me on your screens again this weekend during
#PlayPokemon
Knoxville Regionals!
We're less than a month away from
#PokemonNAIC
! Are you ready, Trainers? 😱
Now introducing your incredible cast of commentators who will be leading us throughout all the action of the final International Championships broadcast of the 2024 season 👏
Hanging out with VGC players outside of events is so funny because you'll be walking into a standup comedy show and all of a sudden you're theorying Annihilape matchups waiting for it to start because what else are you gonna do
Guys I did it I fixed the circuit. This is all we have to do:
Abolish locals
Abolish regionals
Abolish internats
Abolish capitalism
Overthrow the government
Viva la revolucion
Good luck have fun!
I lack the words to articulate how much this weekend meant to me because I've spoken so many already, but I couldn't have asked for a more exciting return to casting than I got here in Knoxville. What a ride, can't wait for the next

I was using my staff mat from NAIC and one of my opponents was like "those staff promos go for money, I had a buddy who sold 4 staff Nest Balls for $300"
Then turn 1 I played a staff Nest Ball
SO ROUND 5 I HAD MY OP FAVORITE POKEMON DARMANITAN UP AGAINST MY UBER NOOB OPPONENTS KYOGRE AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO WIN BECAUSE MY DARMANITAN HAD CHOICE BAND WILD CHARGE BUT HIS STUPID KYOGRE LIVED WHY DO THESE NOOBS USE LEGENDARIES WHY CANT EVERYONE JUST WIN WITH THEIR FAVO
First season of Regionals back on the mic: ✅️
What a joy to get to cast again, definitely feels like it's where I'm meant to be. Had a blast closing out the year with this fantastic crew.
See y'all next time 😘

Conquered a huge demon and finished 13th at NAIC. Honestly over the moon right now, this is one of the first times I've truly been happy after a tournament. Massive thanks to everyone for all the support and to

for the team skeleton 🙂

For those wondering as I was:
Mortal Spin does indeed clear Toxic Spikes
If you use Substitute after being hit by Whirlpool, you won't take the residual damage
You learn something new every day 😅
Had a great time at Sacramento Regionals with this crew! Another fantastic broadcast with some incredible matches, so happy I get to be a part of it. Catch y'all next time!

If you're questioning the existence of a space for non-binary and female identifying people, you're probably part of the reason it needs to exist.
@TemporalVGC
is doing a great thing with the Hatterene Series. Go back under your bridge and whine about your fake oppression there🙄
Hope y'all enjoyed the CHALK Pokémon Championships History video that I helped put together! The script writing, storyboarding and VO recording were so fun and the production team absolutely smashed the visuals. Proud that I could bring a little piece of VGC history to life 😄
What an honor for my first cast of a Regionals final to be alongside
@GabbySnyder
over such an insanely good match. I've had so much fun between Knoxville, Charlotte, and Fort Wayne, so happy I got this opportunity again and I hope I made you all proud 🥲

If y'all thought VGC Twitter was bad, someone on pokemon go pvp twitter is currently implying that an adult who talks to minors about the game is a pedophile simply because of his age so...at least we don't do that?
Three years ago I would have laughed in your face if you told me I would be defending a master's thesis today, life can take you to some crazy places. Onto the PhD 🙂

Not just his first major achievement, his first major tournament. Insane run by
@unironicpanda
this weekend, honored to get to talk over one of his matches. Congrats to our newest regional champ!
Played in the Pokémon GO Regional at Arlington today and finished 9th! I entered for fun without any expectations and made it to my group's Winners Finals so pretty happy with the day. All hail Sableye 🙌

Thanks for 5 amazing years of VGC everyone, I truly had a blast traveling across the world and hanging out with you all. I'm not quitting, but I'm taking a pretty big step back (for real this time™) to spend my time and money on something more important. See y'all around ❤
Usually hatred this blatant is kept in the shadows. If you see people being racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, or any other flavor of hateful in your private chats, call it out. This is how we make sure our community is a welcoming space for all marginalized folks.
Working at the office instead of working from home for the first time since mid December is really hindering my Pokemon Legends: Arceus progress and this is why I do not support capitalism
Another killer weekend in the books, so happy to get to work another regional and cast some really fun matches with
