Top ranked players and their teams going into Day2 Swiss tomorrow! A lot of early impression of the new format and its mechanic. I hope everyone enjoyed the tour, please let me know your thoughts on open team lists with the new mechanic.

Wolfe studying the rng seed for worlds next year:
I have seen fourteen million, six hundred and five lines of play and there was only one way to win this game.
Uh oh.
Pokémon Scarlet/Violet Battle Stadium currently is using the same RNG seed for every battle.
This allows us to choose moves to ensure that OHKO moves such as Sheer Cold always hit!
To celebrate my Top32 finish and Lou‘s 9th IC as a caster, we are giving away one competitor bag (playmat, „deckbox“, sleeves and the hat).

VGC players on my TL:
„Topped the ladder with 🦒⚡️ playing 6 mon mirrors in my last 12 games “
„Here is my tierlist for Reg F“
„200 games into the new format and I really like Inci/Rilla/Urshi“
It’s actually happening, after 3 years of long distance, Lou and I have signed a place in Germany and we are moving in together later this summer. 🤩
Shoutouts to Pikachu for bringing us together and being the first to welcome us in our new home ☺️
Played in my first day1 worlds ever and advanced to Day2 with Breloom and Basculegion 🙌🏻

Another great rule change:
They have learned from the sudden death dilemma at worlds (Top16) and are now giving the head judges in exceptional situations the right to overwrite a Tie after DGF with a voided game. Basically allowing another full game > sudden death.
2 players in the London Open are trying to force a Tie in a full mirror match.
They have basically flowcharted a game (including attacking themselves) where it ends in Wonder Guard P2 vs Wonder Guard P2.

Let me put this into perspective.
Most TCG league had 0 interest in hosting VG events so far.
This was compensated by individual professors hosting VG events outside of leagues.
These Professor might no longer do this.
You VG scene depends on local leagues adopting VG …🧵
Confirmed in our League email that the new
#PlayPokemon
season (24/25) does indeed start on July 1st!
Interesting one for my VG friends, local events are now "Challenges" and "Cups" just like with TCG and GO. Curious if they'll change anything else about locals?
2020 took away a lot of what we have taken for granted, taught us new lessons and showed us who we can count on in these crazy times. We hope wherever you are and however you are spending Christmas this year, that you can find a little joy. We wish you all the festive wishes ✨🎄
Excited to announce the 2020 Exhibition Series between 🇯🇵Japan🇯🇵 and 🇩🇪Germany🇩🇪 featuring 3 World Champions and 6 National titles!

The Japanese Logos usually have a hint for new mechanics, they had the mega stones in them for X&Y and Crystals for SUMO, so lets take a closer look at the Japanese logos for the new games !

Hawaii 2012 was my first worlds, both my siblings had won Travel awards and my dad and I ended up joining them, leaving my mum behind with a severe case of FOMO.
When Honolulu 2024 was announced, I knew it was time for me to make up for the trip my mum missed out on 12 years ago
I like how the current format made it almost impossible to tell if tweets are about VG or TCG. Lost your win and in to Icicle Crash misses or discarding 2 Bax with Pokestop ?!
Streaming two „Win-and-in“ and neither winner making Top8 is just the perfect example why we need a better way to determine the players advancing to Topcut.
#PlayPokemon
In an alternative universe, they haven't announced the worlds dates as it can no longer be hosted in Hawaii.
Where would they move it instead?
Wrong answers only...
🎉 Happy birthday to my partner in crime, to another year full of memories, challenges, laughter, adventures and more.

Spent all my time and energy (especially for Bremen and Bilbao) on staffing events in 2022 and gave up the opportunity to qualify for worlds as a player. Really sad to announce my staff application for worlds wasn’t successful 😶

Dear players,
I hope this tweet finds you well.
It’s my absolute privilege to inform you that you don’t have to play against Baris at worlds this year. He will be part of our amazing staff team to ensure you have a great time at the World Championship in Nashville!

VGC player that complains about starting 0-2 because they faced the one matchup the didn’t want to play. The matchup is Murkrow Gholdengo
Also
VGC players that tweets about a dumb play they made, ending the tweet with „ …won regardless“.
Wake up worlds, CP payouts for Online ICs and Premier Challenges have been published, link in replies.
Online ICs give out 160CP for the winner!!!!!!!
BFL for Online ICs is 2, same for PCs, which give out 30 CP for the winner!

Defenitely a force to be reckoned with, winning the first 2 online tours on Scarlet/Violet.

New mechanic of each generation is usually hinted at within the japanese logo of the game. Interesting star shaped crystal for
#PokemonScarlet
and
#PokemonViolet
. Excited to find out what it stands for. What could it be?
My favourite moment of the IC is my opponent leading Latias + Latios and setting up dragon cheer with their Latias. We trade Latias against Gouging Fire and it is ChienPao Kingambit vs Cap Pikachu und Steel Tera Latios.
Then this pikachu does the unthinkable 😳
One thing that’s really outstanding is how Eric and Alex performed super well in Liverpool pre DQ, then had their team finishing Top8 in NA, just for them to further polish it and sweep through Day1 with 7-0 and 7-1 with Eric finishing Top8.
Impressive play and team building!
PG: We might be interested getting into Pokemon but we also need a third male model with shoulder-length hair for our next campaign.
Wolfe : Alright not cutting my hair for 6 months. Can I get short hair once the campaign is published?
PG: Sure! So we have a deal?
Wolfe: Deal!
I think our tournaments are outgrowing our tournament system, especially considering how the structure is designed around TCG. See how only 1 player bubbled cut in TCG despite 2.5x player numbers + cleaner cuts for Top16/Top32.

Proud to announce I will be the VG HeadJudge for Europes first VGC'20 Regional in Bochum. The team and I are working really hard to make the transition to the Nintendo Switch as smooth as possible.

For our 1 year anniversary, we would like to share our wedding video ❤️
When Lou suggested the idea of a Cyprus wedding, I was immediately sold, couldn’t have asked for a better day, or a better wife.
Time to finally publish my latest project!
@LimitlessVGC
is back and has more features than ever!
A database for VGC results focusing on ranking players and now Pokémon as well 👀
Check out this thread for information about all new features🙌
I was surprised by how many players didn't turn off their wireless communication during Turin SPE.
All "Live Competition" events use infrared only, so you can turn off wireless communication.
RT to save a (battery) life!

PSA:
If you start charging your console midgame, your console will lose internet connection for a second resulting in a DC. Plug it in before the game or inbetween games.

We have been saying this for a while, but we desperately need record based CP payouts. These 49 players with an record of 6-3 missed out on CP this weekend and we are heading into EUIC with similar player numbers, potentially missing the kicker for Top256 CP.
#PlayPokemon
Hey
@PlayTheChamps
&
@playpokemon
,
we are currently sitting at 905 VG players (all division) for EUIC, probably just over 800 without JR/SR players. With the usual no show rate, we might end up just below 800 masters and therefore miss the kicker for Top256 CP.
So I am working on 2 very exciting community projects at the moment and the first one is about to launch. Enjoy this little preview and once this tweet has 100 RTs, I am launching my first project!
