I don't know what to think. Part of me is glad I happened to bring something that they'll hopefully realize is cool and fun instead of lame, but another part of me regrets bringing a bunch of impossible casualfags who haven't talked about Pokemon since second grade into the competitive scene. What do, /vp/?
