There has to be something more behind this. There's no fucking way that celebration counts as unsporting conduct, and even if it does is worth a game loss in the last game of the finals. He even went to shake his opponent's hand right after doing that small celebration. I would bet the judge is friends with NTC or something like that because no sane and unbiased judge would make a call like that. In fact since it's the last game of the finals judges should be extremely conservative about punishments like game loss and only really major or repeated offences should result into game loss.
In that previous TCG case at least it was relatively early game in the tournament and the guy got up to celebrate before the match was actually over. That could count as minor case of unsporting conduct. But even in that case game loss was still way too harsh punishment. Here the game was over and he had won the match so he had all the rights to celebrate his victory and did it in relatavely mild manner.
troon or mentally stunted woman, but the odds are greater that it's a troon. I've had women as opponents that were like this during the E-on and F-on standard. I had one who thought I'd give her the game because she pulled her histrionics.

Why do you even need judges for a pokemon Go event? It's all on a computer. As long as you don't try to stall out (I assume it has some kind of timer) what the fuck is the judge there for? It's all automated.

I need to explore more dream islands. Four specific types of dream islands (the same four which make up a habitat for Drifblim) can each spawn a legendary pokemon, either a legendary doggo or mewtwo.
This really bugs me. Haven't been able to get any of these guys yet. Wish there was a way to make the process easier without abusing the Switch 2 clock.
So I decided to do something different and try an experiment, so please excuse the mountain of autism that's about to unfold
My Pokemon Adventure In New York
Chapter 1:
Hi. I’m Celebrate Nite. I’m currently dicking around in my room waiting for my friends to get here because I was delivered a package today that only the three of us can open at the same time. One of them, Bianca, is a bubble-headed blonde who sometimes doesn’t know her ass from her elbow. The other, Chespen, is one of those “know-it-all” types that would totally get the shit kicked out of him in school. We all live in Brooklyn, or more specially in Sea Gate, which as the name implies is a gated community on the southern tip of Coney Island.
Coney Island used to be a nice place until they started letting in all sorts of freaks. I remember seeing TV commercials for it and how the park always looked like a fun place to be.
Not anymore. It’s gotten to the point where you can’t even walk into a McDonalds without getting shot.
But hey, at least we have a beach…
... I fucking hate the beach.
Turns out the package was from Professor Juniper. Seems it’s time for the three of us to become Pokemon Trainers as she has given us our own Pokemon to choose as our first partner. I chose the grass snake and named it Smugleaf because look at this motherfucker.
The sass just pours right out of him, and I fucking love it. In fact I love it so much, I’m not even going to evolve him.
Bianca chose the water otter, and right away she wants to battle. Bitch made a mess of my room. Chespen picked the fire pig. Surprisingly my mom is o.k. with the mess and tells us to go see the professor. Thank god my mom isn’t like Bianca’s dad… seriously wtf was up with that though? We arrive at the lab, and Chespen just won’t shut the fuck up. We’re told to go meet the Professor at a new location for a lesson.
So now I’m headed northwest to Bay Ridge with frick ’n’ frack, which for the record is a two hour walk from where we live.
I ain’t taking no public transportation, have you SEEN what’s been going on in those things?
Anywho, we wind up meeting the professor so she can teach us how to capture pokemon (which, honestly, any spastic retard can do, but whatever). Then she told us to meet her at a different location up north. One of my friends gets an idea that we should have a “competition” to see who can catch the most pokemon by the time they reach the next town. Honestly, not much of a competition when there’s only two pokemon to capture (both Normal Types). One of them is a chipmunk-looking thing and while it does look cool, it kinda sucks in the ability department. It has a hidden ability that makes it stronger if it goes last… something that works on a pokemon with high defenses… which this pokemon does not have. Then there’s the Yorkie, and you will never catch me using one of these even if it was the last dog on earth. The only people I know that have Yorkies are old ladies who use them to help with their loneliness. Even it’s evolution is dumb… why the fuck would I want a dog that has two big floppy-donkey dicks on it’s face? Did you know that in Japan there’s this normal type rat that actually gets stronger the more it suffers? Why the fuck couldn’t we get that? Instead I have to go online and see that little shithead Joey talk about his “top percentage rattata” all the fucking time. God I hate that faggot so much!! Speaking of Japan, what is it with everyone in NY watching the “how to speak japanese” channel? I know Spectrum (Time Warner) is shit, but surely there’s something better to watch than THAT. Long story short, I win the competition, although idk wtf these two idiots were doing if they only managed to catch one pokemon.
So the place Professor Juniper told us to meet is in Sunset Park.
It was called that because the place has a nice view during the Sunset… sure, maybe the ACTUAL park,,,
but everything else looks like an urban ghetto hellscape and makes me wish I was back in my little gated community.
(Seriously, the closer you get to the water/parkway, the worse it gets)
The professor shows us the Pokemon Center and then fucks off. Chespen calls me over to watch some faggot named Ghetsis with his creepy-ass cult talk about Pokemon Rights or something (more like “Getsis ass away from me because he’s fucking mental”). Thankfully Chespen is smart enough to buy into this horse manure, but now there’s this spaz named “N” that won’t leave us the fuck alone. Yea, that name sure fits him to a “T”
In fact, one would say that he is a "White N".
I decide to take a stroll in Prospect Park...
...when Mom decides to call me to meet me there (she’s a lot braver with public transportation than I am, apparently) to give me some new kicks that I can actually run in. Will come in handy if I need to bolt away from an attempted mugging or something. In the meantime I’ll collect some winnings from people that are worse at this Pokemon thing than I am. According to her, the professor told her I’m going to Eastern Parkway, so I guess I’ll do that when I’m done. But not before Bianca has another battle with me… and loses again.
Anyway, I heard there was this Gym that also doubles as a restaurant, so I think I’ll hit that up because I’m starting to get hungry from all this walking. Oh wait, I can’t, because the Gym leaders aren’t even around at the moment, they’re in some school. Guess I’ll go there. Oh wait, there not there now, but Chespen is there and he wants to battle me. He then gives me a berry after the match. At least my Pokemon won’t go hungry now. Oh look, the Gym leaders are really at the resteraunt this time, but now one of them is telling me to fuck off to a Navy Yard of all places… SO I GUESS I’LL DO THAT THEN!!
Actually it’s a good thing I did because I encountered a very nice lady who decided to give me a water monkey to help me out with the Gym battle. But I say “NO!” to that, I’m going to tough it out with Smugleaf, also I don’t like monkeys in general. I heard about these things called “Hidden Machines” where they are moves that you can use outside of battle, like cutting trees and riding on water, so I’ll just delegate the monkey to manual labor instead (or an “HM Slave” if you will).
Spent the rest of my day leveling up my Smugleaf to where it learns Growth/Tackle/Wrap/VineWhip. Mustered up the courage to take on the Gym leader and won. As I was spamming Growth, he decided to spam “Work Up” on his Lillipup, so it pretty much worked in my favor, especially since I was faster than him. Finally got a good meal after that too. Was about to find a motel and go to bed, but this science lady named Fennel is asking me to go back to the Navy Yard to find some pokemon that spews dream mist or something. Bianca finds me while I’m there and we wind up running into those Team Plasma weirdos. After beating then in battle, we get this dream mist Fennel was looking for and then she takes me to her place where she gives me this device which looks useless while she talks about Pokemon Dreams or some bullshit. Now I’m going to bed.
Is it full of trannies or is that Bede's shit where it's supposed to represent psychic and fairy or whatever? I don't trust modern nintendo, but the colour scheme doesn't have to mean trannies
Allegedly these are all the items in the game. No band/specs, assault vest, or life orb, but at least there’s quick claw and bright powder. Between that and Mega being given the same priority as switching it’s just going to be a gamba sesh every game.
Every feature in Champions seems so incredibly sparse.
- Limited items.
- Limited move selection.
- A roster of only 199 Pokémon (185 if you don't count regional forms as completely separate Pokémon, since some are more different than others).
- Some of the roster spots being taken up by such competitive standouts as Beedrill, Watchog, Stunfisk, the Unovan monkeys, four different kinds of Tauros, Forretress, Ariados, and Medicham.
- No 6v6 single battles anywhere, not even in private matches.
- No singleplayer content at all.
Of course they'll add some things into Champions over time, but how much of this stuff do you think they'll actually put back in—and how much of it is never going to be included at all for the sake of "streamlining" or "a new vision for the game" or something?
Curating a separate from the games competitive format isn't a bad thing. You can deal with problems by just not adding them in.
Mod man. Could you make a mod that removes all EXP gain? But also evens out the appearance rate of pokemon and unlock all pokemon in that area just in the grass? So Kanto Route 1 would have Ratatta, Pidget, Sentret, Hoot hoot, Oddish and Bellsprout depending on the version being de-EXPed. and each of them would have like a 20% encounter rate instead of 1% or whatever bullshit the highest one is. So you could try to beat the game using just local pokemon with no move changes and you can't grind.
The fact there is offcial competitive Pokemon go but no official 6v6 Singles pretty much shows the state of "competitive" pokemon.
I've tried doubles and no matter what gen I hate it and as much as it is fun to rag on Smogon they at least have somewhat of a balance reasoning to 90% of the stuff.
Fuck knows what direction they plan to take with competitive if Champions if their official platform because what a horrid launch to show it off.
Saw some cope about how its day1 and will be fixed.
TCGlive basically runs on hopes and dreams where 1 in 10 games is lost due to random cards being stucked floating or unclickable or time-out timers just breaking.

As much as I feel bad for 6v6 singles players I really dont think its that surprising. They havent supported it beyond the bare minimum for years. The matches are simply too long for any official tournaments. Showdown matches can often take like 45 minutes, and thats with much shorter animation times. Youd end up with many people dropping games half-way, especially when your opponent is little timmy. Smogon has to add alot of rules to balance the format since the main games arent designed around it competitively as well. Showdown is simply a much better home for it. Ideally they would allow custom rulesets in private lobbies, which could allow for it.

6v6 is also way less interesting to watch. It's too much switching in and out. While double battles makes it much harder to play predict the retard and add some active strategies.
This is the most I'd ever ask for 6v6 singles, though I'm curious what they'll do with BSS (official singles format, notably bring 6 pick 3) especially if Champions makes it more popular as people migrating from in-game are looking for a singles meta similar to what they just played. Will the official format adopt smogon-style rebalancing with their doubles-oriented mons with bans, or will they tweak the game itself by making some moves or abilities behave differently in singles?
Limiting to 3 mons per battle already solves many of the biggest problems from gen 9 like Rage Fist and Last Respects getting as strong as Explosion for very little cost or 5-fallen Kingambit enabling the most dastardly Sucker Punch 50-50s known to man at every endgame it shows up in.
