[VG] Introducing My First Competitive Team on XY

The blog wasn't supposed to be in-game only, and now, also with the US Regionals for XY kicking off, is a good time to start bringing content related to the official VG Standard format. This weekend, I played in the Inoffizielle Deutsche Meisterschaft 2014, which is with 306 participants the biggest online Pokémon live tournament both Germany and Europe have ever seen. (For reference, the top 32 thread.) Also, congratulations to Naruto Uzumaki 97 (bad name, why do tournament winners always have bad names) for taking it all, as well as 13Yoshi37 for making the finals, reigning World Champion Mean for taking 3rd place and all the rest that did well!

For me, it unfortunately didn't go too well... Got a tough second-round group and ended up just going 1-2 in it and be eliminated. That's the way of the IDM sometimes/always, and eventually it just had to hit me rather than other people again. I'll probably write a short team analysis and report soon, but before that I think I deserve at least a half week break from this game, so whatever. This is what I used in overview, my very first team on XY. Take care.

Tyranitar @ Tyranitarite ~ Rock Slide ~ Crunch ~ Dragon Dance ~ Protect	Meowstic @ Sitrus Berry ~ Psychic ~ Charm ~ Light Screen ~ Safeguard	Bisharp @ Choice Band ~ Sucker Punch ~ Iron Head ~ Night Slash ~ Brick Break
Gyarados @ Gyaradosite ~ Waterfall ~ Earthquake ~ Dragon Dance ~ Protect	Amoonguss @ Occa Berry ~ Giga Drain ~ Spore ~ Rage Powder ~ Protect	Rotom @ Choice Specs ~ Thunderbolt ~ Overheat ~ Hidden Power (Ice) ~ Volt Switch

[VG] First Batch of Battle Maison Videos

I'm done uploading everything interesting enough using that terrible team I just introduced. I didn't put many comments to what happaned on YouTube because YouTube is, with my resources, not the ideal platform for doing that. Thus, I'll do it just here and now, have fun.

[VG] A Bad Team for Battle Maison

It's been a while. Playing games and writing about games at the same time is hard. I'll have to rethink whether I actually finish this other series as originally intended or just make some kind of summary, whatever, for the rest. Anyhow, time for some Maison now. Since I want to get those battle videos out already, I also need the team analyses to support them.

Today's team will probably be the least interesting, really, because I think it's bad, and undeniably it's old. I've learned a lot about it using it, so maybe that will be helpful to someone else that is fool enough to start out with similar ideas.

[VG] First Game Lost, Two More to Go (Pokémon Y Blind Nuzlocke Part 1)

(Artist: H-appysorry)

I am a terrible game 1 player, I lose a lot of them. If there were second and third chances to everything in the world, life might be not far from awesome. But the reality is... oh well, subject change! The title is in fact a reference to what was supposed to be my blind White 2 Nuzlocke Challenge: Game Over at Cheren – Work Up Lillipup was too much for my poor party not getting STAB on fuckin' Tackle. Now Pokémon X and Y have arrived two weeks ago, and not surprisingly, I totally want to get my revenge. Spoiler alert says that I've survived the first gym this time, so hopefully this won't be as pointless. In fact, I promise you it won't.

[Misc] Don't Forget to Follow @1Weltall on Twitter!

This was overdue for a bit, but here it is, my official Twitter! I will be using it to advertise new blog entries as well as what it's generally good for, I guess. Speaking of new entries, the first part of my blind Nuzlocke log (pun not intended, huh) will go live on Friday, and the following parts will be released around 1–3 per week (depending on my progress with everything). Take care!

The damage is done, I just made a Twitter account. Follow Me before I Rage Powder you!
