>>56518424Sorry for the samefagging but right after clicking Post I remembered when I attended a large event about 13 years ago, among many activities there was a stand holding a "Farfetch'd cup" in which the agreement was bringing a Farfetch'd and setting up Swords Dance 3 times first. I didn't play it but I think the winner was the guy who got a max speed duck -this long before mints and bottle caps-. In that same event I brought my DS with Pokémon White, entered group quests and completed the Pokédex for the very first time.
As I said I play comp for fun, and I still attend VGC events. To be honest I keep going because that's where my IRL friends are, I even went to Worlds twice, once as spectator, once as competitor. But now it's all soulless corporate slop, sanitized environment full of rainbow hair weirdos, influencer personality cults and scalper black markets. Take me back.
