Today, I'm proud to introduce a project that I've been working on for the past couple of months. This creation is inspired by the 50-game Test from @ATXVGC , The Showdown tracker from @a_gay_whale and @Flare35493244 , and others to bring you... 🧵

If you're comfortably winning a #PokemonUNITE game and decide to attempt Zapdos, get snpied, and then lose horribly, Zapdos is not the problem. If you are winning, Zapdos is not your wincon. It's theirs.

I'm a huge defender of Scarlet and Violet. Many complaints given against it are overblown with big crybaby energy. It's the most fun gaming I've had in decades. The fact that DCs keep happening at the highest levels of events is completely and totally unacceptable.

EVs are a fine system, but it is needlessly hidden from the player and that makes it feel very clunky... * Add NPC who explains EVs * Rework Hex Chart to show EXACT EVs * Show EV gains with EXP in battle * Add EVs to Dex * Let us see how much EVs are contributing to stats

⚠️PASRS PSA⚠️ If your replay link has "?p2" at the end of it, it is encoded as being from the "player 2 pov" and will not open correctly on PASRS. Luckily, the fix is very easy - just remove the "?p2" from the ends of any links and they'll start working. 1/3
