THIS KID IS SUCH A HAM THOUGH OMFG

honestly i mostly slept through the actual tournament happenstance while it was going on but i love analyzing all the teams and stuff afterward just as a reminder that i'm really not very good at pokémon

boo, they both used landorus, that's no fun

both had assault vests, too. like this was about as diverse as these kinds of teams can get for tournament-level play but it still is kind of giving off the feeling that you can't avoid seeing the same mons

over and over again

so wrecked omg

but this weird-ass cresselia is so cool that all is forgiven tbh

i'm a little bit in love with this announcer

"are we living in Flinch-town OH MY GOSH WE SEE THE ZAPDOS FLINCH"

that ending was so disappointing though

okay, now it's time to watch the babbies
2015 Pokemon World Championships Finals - Junior VG

i think kotone has an all-shiny team like damn that is dedication

agdkl;gh the commentator keeps calling gardevoir cresselia

it doesn't even look like a cresselia

Whenever I see a team of all shinies I assume they're hacked.

ah, her landorus isn't, actually

(can i just say how much it geeks me out that THE WORLD CHAMPION OF POKÉMON IN THE JUNIOR DIVISION IS ACTUALLY…NAMED…KOTONE)

SAME

Yeah there was like no variety among the teams this year. Did you see that picture with all of them lined up?

I think everyone had landorus, most people had heatran, a lot of them had mega kanga

das boring

so many landorus

like if they were nice pokémon to look at, at least, it wouldn't bother me but landorus are hideous

gosh as an aside but it's cute that this match was a girl avatar vs. a boy once b/c it looks just like a battle between may and brendan

i'm also really glad she didn't forfeit in the second match and DAMN she came close to at least getting the jump on that charizard y

omfg watching pokemon battles with announcers THIS IS WEIRDLY CUTE AND GIVES ME WARM FUZZIES

FREAKING POKEMON IS BEING TREATED LIKE A SERIOUS SPORT I'M SO HAPPY OH MY GOD

omfg machamp YASS

it looks like the incredible hulk

the incredible hunk
