PotW Supplement: VGC Side Event Battle

/

Hey guys, no time for a Pokemon of the Week article this week, because it's Sunday night, and I just got back from Nationals a few hours ago and am headed off to a camp in the morning. So, in leiu of that, I'm giving you my first Youtube video! It's a vid of me battling my friend Dalton, who also went to nats with me, in a VGC Side event that was taking place after the actual National Championships. The rules were the same as the VGC main event, except you didn't get to see your opponent's team, and you use all 6 of your Pokemon without making changes to their order. I really liked these rules, and won a few 8-man tournaments. Well, without further ado, here it is:

Well, as you can see, he got some Attract hax on my Pokes at the end there, and it almost cost me the match. I mean, immobilized by love like 3 times in a row?? That's ridiculous. Well, I hope everyone who went to nationals enjoyed it, I know I did. It was awesome seeing Steve, Aaron, Travis, and Chris, as well as a few other fans who came up to us. And that's all I've got, trainers.

AOTW: Solid Rock and Filter

How’s it going, trainer-faces? Still pitting digital manifestations of elementally-powered animals against each other for fun and bragging rights, I trust? Good, good. Today, we’re gonna talk about some basic strategy, real Pokémon 101 stuff. And what’s the most basic battling component? Type advantages and disadvantages. Even some of the better wall pokémon in the game can be unseated by a well-placed super effective attack. But, there are a few ways to undermine an opponent’s advantageous attacks, and wouldn’t you know it, one of them is an Ability! Let’s point and laugh at your friends’ Expert Belts- this is Ability of the Week: Solid Rock AND Filter!

Vacation for VGCs

/

I will be taking the next week off. During this time... I will be driving 8 hours to Indiana to compete in the VGCs. Hopefully, I make it past the last chance quailifier. If I do, then I move onto Saturday/Sunday!

I will be updating info on my Twitter or via the Facebook group. Even possibly Tumblr.

Any orders placed will be shipped late next week. Any e-mails for concerns, comments, questions, will be answered next week as well. Sorry for any inconvenience. 

Good news from all this is that we will open up Grey League officially when I get back.  

Thanks for being awesome!

Wish me luck,

<3 SBJ

PotW: VGC 2011 EXTRAVAGANZA

/

Hey, everyone! Missed me? Of course you have. Well, after my two week family vacation, I'm back to give you some hopefully useful information for those of you playing at USA or Canada's National Championship. If you're not playing, hopefully you'll find this article interesting, if nothing else. 

For this one, I've decided to give you quite a bit more than your average dose of Pokemon for the coming week (the week of nationals OMG I CAN'T WAIT), by letting you know everything you need to act like you know what you're doing. That's right, this week, I'm going to be going over the Pokemon that are sure to be the most popular ones in the coming smackdown in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Disclaimer: This article is going to be a long one, as I'm making up for my two week absence. Please don't neglect reading it simply because of its length, as that would make me a sad panda. Read it all! You'll be a better person because of it!*

*Not guarenteed for all readers, results may vary

You know, guys, I’ve been under a lot of stress lately. Between it being convention season, trying to work on the next issue of The Redeemers, my day job, I’ve been one busy little Ability Editor. Makes it difficult to decide on a topic and write an article every week, you know? It’s a lot of pressure! Wait… wait! That’s it! That’s the weak lead-in for this week’s editorial! This is Ability of the Week: Pressure!
