While you were out there crying and whining like a Verlisify, we have been putting together a new battling system that will soon bury Smogon and VGC. This was done by a team of dedicated programmers and professional game developers working around the clock in a small fictitious Russian town set in modern Russia. Unfortunately this project will not continue do to the recent revelation of Russian spies hacking the election of the United States of America in the fall of 2016. We do not endorse the actions of these former staff members and realize the severity of this issue. You would only need to look at the damage this presidency has cause to understand this was a horrible stunt and we offer our sincerest and utmost apologies to all of the victims.

Thank you for your business,
