>>40182477Yeah I don't know what OP is talking about
when I was a kid playing Ruby I went once to this store that was hosting a TGC tournament and meet-up so I could trade with people and instantly when I got there I saw that all kids were at one side of the store with parents while the parents were glaring at a group of weird manbabies on the other side, fat dudes holding GBAs and generally looking scruffy and nerdy. One of the "competitive pokefans" there was even fucking balding, so he had to be fucking 30.
