>>35045867THIS IS INACCURATE AS FUCK
IN JAPAN, THE INTERNATIONAL CUP WAS ACTUALLY GOING ON SINCE THE 90'S, AND THERE WERE EVEN GYMS THAT PLAYERS WENT TOO THAT WERE ALSO IN THE UNITED STATES.
IN THE UNITED STATES, POKEMON GYMS HELD SPECIFIC RARE POKEMON THAT WHEN YOU BEAT THE LEADERS, AKA TOYS'R'US, GAMESTOP, WALMART (KINDA), TARGET, K-MART, AND EVEN SOME SELECT 7-11 (EXTREMELY RARE) EMPLOYEES, YOU'D RECIEVE A POKEMON FROM THAT GYM. USUALLY, IT WAS ONE FROM THE ANIME LIKE BROCK'S ONIX OR SOMETHING STUPID LIKE THAT. IT DIDN'T SAY BROCK'S ONIX, BTW, IT WAS JUST A FUCKING ONIX.
THERE WERE SPECIFIC RULES THAT YOU HAD TO GO BY. VERY SPECIFIC FUCKING RULES.THAT YOU HAD TO GO BY. SMOGON CAME AROUND WAY AFTER. ALSO, EVER SINCE LINK FUCKING BATTLES, WHERE YOU COULD HOOK UP ONE FUCKING GOD DAMNED CABLE TO ANOTHER FUCKING BRICK, YOU WERE SUBJECTED TO GAMEFREAK'S SPECIFIC GUIDELINES TO BATTLING.
THEY WERE CHANGED THROUGHOUT THE FUCKING YEARS, YOU GOD DAMNED PIECE OF SHIT ASS OP, BUT IT WAS STILL THE PRECURSOR TO VGC. INFACT, IN JAPAN, THEY STILL HAVE A SEPARATE TOURNAMENT TO THIS DAY THAT WAS LET GO BY THE COMPANY TO THE FANS WHO KEPT IT MORE THAN ALIVE. SO IF YOU WANT TO GET FUCKING TEHNICAL, AS NO RULES WERE CHANGED AND IT'S EXACTLY LIKE THE VGC, THAT WAS THE GRANDFATHER TO EVERYTHING. YOU AUTISTIC MOTHERFUCKER. YES I'M MAD. THAT FUCKING STUPID PIECE OF NEWBIE HANDSCRIBBLE CARTOON BULLSHIT IS A FUCKING LIE AND GOES OFF FUCKING CRAP.
SMOGON IS SHIT. ALWAYS WAS SHIT. ALWAYS WILL BE SHIT. AND DID NOT COME BEFORE THE REAL VGC. INTERNATIONAL CUPS WERE ALREADY IN PLAY. I HATE YOU FUCKING NEWBIES SO FUCKING MUCH, GENWON IS WHERE IT'S AT AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR POKEMON HISTORY THEN GET THE FUCK OFF /vp/ YOU PIECE OF CUM STAINED SHIT.
