Funnily enough they're going very strictly with their checks, without giving chance to appeal or receive any explanation. Same company that made a game that can't handle lan connection and makes all games crash during a t16 world championship

Finished Top8 a Liverpool. Going 4-1 with only 4 pokémon felt so satisfying! I loved playing Registeel and I feel returning to this kind of archetypes helped me recognize what were my errors as a player. I think I've gotten better after this tournament. See in EUIC!

Despite terastal being a good mechanic, S/V are a complete disaster in terms of a spectator enjoyment. The bad graphics, the terrible static camera and Pokemon being cropped in some weird angle cameras are just few examples. SwSh had Dynamax, but it was the best Pokemon to watch.

Hot take but I think EUIC should not be held in UK anymore. Having the European International Championship in a land where you're required to have a Passport to enter is just nosense. Many people missing the chance in playing the most important event of EU for this reason

I think Ogerpon is probably the best design from gen 9. You just can't hate it, either for its cuteness in base form or just because the mask and its unique way of using tera is sick af. Literally a cash machine since it also from a DLC. It will sell plushies like nothing $$$

I think this is a mistake. Open team sheet was necessary with dynamax in order to counterbalance how broken that mechanic was. Open team list removes creativity in teambuilding, intuitive plays and resource management. Basically it flatten the game
