Sometimes I wonder what could happen if Smogon ceased to exist.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
He told me Toretterra is the best Grass starter, so interpret that as you wish.

He's a lost cause.
Why would it go anywhere in the first place?

Is he a seasoned battler or what?
Maybe some day, but it'd have to be on Pokemon Online.
He's better than Andrex.
I don't know what that means.

Or Flying attacks. Or getting punched.
If it was pure grass only it'd be kind of boring don't you think?
And a massive stale fest.

I'm kind of dreading the inevitable PokéGAF BW2 tournament.
My true idiocy at Pokémon, revealed at last.

Speaking of competitive 'mons, I uploaded a video of one of my battles in the 2012 Autumn Friendly that happened recently.

Why the hate for Garbodor? That's the TCG deck I run!
The idea behind it I don't like, but what I actually don't like is how it looks. It's one of the 45 Pokemon I dislike.

Everyone here already knows the six Pokémon I mainly use. I'd have to swap in a bunch of my old stuff (or do some new ones) to play in a tournament. :/
I'm glad he didn't manage to stall with Protect any longer than he did. Between Sandstorm damage and Trick Room counting down, I was worried for you!
EDIT: All this talking about battles got me in the mood to play some random matches online just now. I only played two, but I won both quite handily, so of course, I immediately stopped there. No reason to make myself sad after doing so well! :3

Why would you be sad...there's no shame in losing to people online...so many crazy factors. The quicker you learn not to get bothered by that, the more peaceful your life will be...=p

I know, but I only win maybe 1/3 of the matches I play, so tonight I'm going to stop while ahead and pretend I'm great!
I FINALLY BEAT THE 7TH TRAINER ON BATTLE SUBWAY
I sent out Tyranitar, and he sounds out Marowak, and I was all like "FUCK EARTHQUAKE" but I dodged it with Gliscor!
I had no idea what to expect, but I clicked Swords Dance by accident...and he uses Detect! Free Attack Boosts. Marowak was eliminated by my own Earthquake.
He sends out Infernape, no problem, I had Acrobatics.
He sends out Dugtrio, and hits me with Rock Slide...and here I was thinking "shit, flinch hax"
BUT I DIDN'T GET THE FLINCH!
AND KO'D IT WITH EARTHQUAKE
"To you it was just a typical Sunday, but to MikeMyers, it was the day where he finally didn't get haxed."

In fact, losing is much better than disconnecting. Disconnecting is a completely different problem... (Gee, I wish I have met less disconnectors in the early days of Gen V battling.)

*brawl announcer* SUCCESS!
It only gets worse from there on tho...
Ferrothorn with Rockey Helmet is a lot of fun.
I set up a Leech Seed on Miltank, and on that turn it used Body Slam. It lost like half its health from Iron Barbs, Rocky Helmet, Leech Seed, & Sandstream.

I like your hat.
Make sure you have atlease one fire attack for tyranitar and gliscor. The subway will put a ferrothorn against yours just to troll your team.
Oh and thanks, took some time to get it just right.
My sets right now:
Tyranitar@Leftovers: Crunch/Stone Edge/Earthquake/Flamethrower
Gliscor@Flying Gem: Swords Dance/Stone Edge/Earthquake/Acrobatics
Ferrothorn@Rocky Helmet: Power Whip/Gyro Ball/Thunder Wave/Leech Seed
Oh and I like your hat too.

Because they're pale imitations of the great original cheat device...the Game Genie. Everything else after that is just lacking.
