First I wanna say thank you to sleid for being easy to schedule with, even tho I know im probably annoying sometimes. And thank you for playing the gen 1 game over again even when i loaded Arbok lead twice. Not many people would show that sportsmanship and would rather just take the win from there.
Huge thanks to estra for giving me teams in litteraly every metagame except for dpp but u did help me come up with ideas and stuff in so i dont think my teams would be very good without you. You also motivated me and made me think I could really win this. I would never even get through the first round if it wasnt for you. Thank you I really appreciate it<3. Also thanks to SANKE CARP for giving me the gen 1 team.
Won in 5 ggs.

Even though I lost, I want to make a post to shout out the people who greatly helped me get to this point.

My gens 1-3 specialists. Thank you guys for helping to either give me teams, polish up teams, or run tests to make sure the teams were solid. Torkon gave me RBY teams the whole playoffs and was super helpful with giving me gameplay advice, wish I could have won at least one of my games for you.

BloodAce I appreciate you helping skrimps with tests and always being there for support, ideas, or whatever else was needed. You were more than helpful in this run and can’t thank you enough.

skrimps brother. As gut wrenching as it feels coming so close to winning my first individual, and to lose in the fashion that I did, it feels worse knowing I let you down after the countless hours you spent helping me with this tournament. For those who don’t know, I’ve been busy with holiday and traveling for a vacation, so I didn’t get to prep or test at all. Skrimps helped carry me to the promised land, but I couldn’t deliver. In a less depressing tone, I really can’t thank you enough for everything you did. I’m glad we connected a couple years ago and have been continuing to be better Pokemon players because of it.

Thanks to everyone else who supported me, especially my fellow scrunglers.
