The Twilight Trails season is upon us!
Pokémon Go PvP is about to feel entirely different – not only because the refactor is now the only battling system available, but also for the many changes that are coming: Move updates, gimmick Pokémon, Mega Evolutions.
Let's jump in! 🧵

Pre-Worlds tier list content! I know you love it, you know you love it.
Thievul with IW will slot into S or A tier. To the extent to which this is usage-based, some mons might be less good than their tier (Alt/Seismi), but you should be prepared for them just bc they're common.

We've got a new meta on our hands – or rather: Two of them!
FOREVER FORWARD arrives with some Cynthia hype, one sought-after (but questionable?) nerf and some major implications for the NAIC format.
Who are the winners, who are the losers, what will change? Let's jump in! 🧵

I have now been banned from the Pokémon Professors Discord.
They deleted all of my messages regarding the incident. Will update everyone when I get my disciplinary email from Play!Pokemon.
@Firestar73_ you deserved to win. They can’t silence me on that.

The "incident" you are now, for the first time, claiming was the basis of the decision did not affect the gameplay at all, yet decided the whole tournament. Section 2.1 requires a "clear explanation of any infraction and its penalty" and I was never given this as the basis at all

Firestar wasn't given an initial warning for shaking the table. This is a Major infraction under Section 5.1 of the Penalty Guidelines

Makani received a game loss for a headset throw and wasn't able to appeal. Section 4.3.3 of the Tournament Rule Handbook allows for an appeal

“Hitting and shaking the table during gameplay”
Pokemon Go is literally an action-based game. Players constantly tapping the screen nonstop for about 5 minutes per game. It’s natural to have some exasperation but look at this clip.
This is an incredibly unserious ruling.

As a judge I’m not supposed to discuss ruling publicly.
However, I also believe that as a judge my job is to give players a fair space to compete.
If a player in a high stakes battle can lose out on thousands of dollars for shaking the table, what kind of space have we built?

Since I’m already going to get in trouble for sharing this, here is the statement that was made after the Orlando regionals regarding judges discussing what happened:

P!P Show Six tierlist ahead of Prague!
Early practice usage implies that Tinkaton is the new central threat in the meta following the addition of Gigaton Hammer 🔨
(P.S.: I'm not a huge fan of this change, as I believe the previous meta was more open and not yet figured out.)

Thankful that my situation continues to get visibility

Tinkaton CDay is today! Curious about how this pokemon would shape the meta, I started making a deep dive regarding a potential good IV spreads, and ended up finding some pretty insane things... Here is what I found !
