Will he use Seviper or what

>>58125997 (OP)
euros talked a lot of shit. this retard posted this hours before the tournament. made his account private after Gio and James made finals.

What’s the schedule for today? Are we seeing tcg or vgc first?

When's the announcement?

>>58126079
Announcement of?

>>58126075
To be fair, they’re not wrong. An American hadn’t made top 8 in the last 2 worlds and they had a poor showing at the naic

>>58126076
go, tgc then vgc
>>58126082
probably a casual looking for ZA news. someone people only watch for that reason.

>>58126087
Thanks

>>58126002
hope she's the translator for the junior finals.

>>58126091
I’ll never forget that Draco meteor miss

We are all rooting for Chi-yu right?

>>58126075
the only valid excuse is that traveling all the way to cali from Europe without a travel award is very costly. They put worlds on the west coast or Hawaii so Americans and Japanese have easy access but Europe gets cucked in the process. They also had it in Japan one year which is even worse for Europe than California.

>US will not win worlds with their current community structure
what does this mean?

>>58126135
Plenty of Europeans completed, so they don’t have that excuse

girls are simping over Victor

>>58126154
the absolute state of asian males than even an ugly spaniard is considered hot by jp females standards

>>58126157
That’s what I thought as well

Fun fact - Fuguan, the Chinese tcg senior, eliminated 3 consecutive Japanese players to reach the finals

>>58126159
hes not ugly, hes above average but among pokemon players thats top 1%

>>58126159
He’d be above average in America

>>58126159
I mean it's obvious Victor could be handsome if hit the gym. It's hard to tell if James would with such a fat face

>>58126165
revenge for nanking. also Gabe Fernandez won all three ICs this year, and won worlds this year. he also won a bunch of regionals in his home region. what a monster.

>>58126159
He's not even ugly his glasses just suck ass

>>58126154
If Victor would work out he would slay pussy, the face is basically there.

>>58126168
Agreed

>>58125997 (OP)
I really hope that Giovanni wins and the only reason why is because I want an Ursaluna mystery gift event.

>>58126154
damn she's thirsty
https://x.com/Tougi_mahjong/status/1957003784233869607

>>58126174
That’s an insane season. He’s going to dominate in masters

>>58125997 (OP)
Well shit, the Baras of Healthy Meta now have a 4th member

>>58126196
tfw no girlfriend

>no DLC
>No baras of healthy meta
>no genies
Giovanni's team is insanely based

>>58126196
why are they mostly white? Isn't supposed to be a spanish team?

>>58126209
>Using the cancer that is Flutter Mane
No

>>58126196
Some Spaniard needs to save her asap

>>58126209
And now C*lyrex
How is that piece of shit not nerfed to the ground

>>58126174
>and won worlds this year
meant last year

>>58126215
Horses fall under DLC

>>58126210
you're confusing Spain with Mexico or one of the dozens of Latin American countries they colonized.

>>58125997 (OP)
didnt Kevin Han win worlds last year as a junior? his older brother also got top 32 in masters, his first year in masters.

>>58126210
Bro... Spain is in Europe, +90% of Spaniards have white skin...

>>58125997 (OP)
Which team should I root for?
>If Evans loses, then Incineroar, Landorus and Calryex lose
>If Cischke loses, then Flutter Mane loses and Wolfe's fans get sad because the Koraidon/Lunala duo will not make it

>>58126210
not everyone in that pic is spanish

>>58126284
Wolfe gets was more felted if his team's core won worlds while he lost first round of day 2.

>>58126223
what an elite family. imagine winning worlds twice in a row, this time undefeated

>>58126284
>>58126296
so we're rooting for Giovanni

>>58126303
Rocket W's up

>>58126284
I'm rooting for the one that has a sinnoh pokemon everything else is trivial

>>58126284
Giovanni because that horse needs to DIE

The student becomes the master

https://victoryroad.pro/2025-worlds/

Look at that long line of horses

There's no point in thinking about Wolfesissies while deciding on who to cheer on since ultimately they will do nothing but come up with a hundred copes and excuses.
Just laugh at them and what a pathetic bunch of sycophants they are and that no matter what they say you just know they're seething deep inside.
Laugh at them like you laugh at Shaun. That's the kind of people they are.

>>58126105
that was brutal yea

>>58126105
>>58126513
People losing Worlds because of Draco Misses or because they decided to ignore the mushroom when the mushroom is the biggest threat against their team for some godforsaken reason. Happens every fucking year.

show starts in 10 mins

>>58126540
>unite
who cares

This song sucks

>unite chuds
Yikes

what time does the final start?

Reminder that VGC is the last fucking thing so hope you enjoy waiting for Unite, TCG and GO first.
Go watch some anime or something. VGC is not happening any time soon.

Does anyone besides no lifer bugmen give a shit about Unite?

>>58126607
is unite any good? it’s like league no?

is this entertaining?

Incineroar will LOSE

>>58126618
>assfaggots
>ever good

>>58126618
>is this entertaining?
It's like watching basketball but every player has sticky glue on their shoes

>>58126618
It's a semi decent low investment time waster thats more basic than even league. Honestly not a deep enough game to have a dedicated competitive scene around.
If you care about the genre though you should be playing dota.

Is TCG shown on the TGC Twitch, the Pokemon Twitch or both?

>>58126624
Would it be easier to get "big" in it due to the lack of competitive scene but Pokemon still featuring it?

Wait, they had Unite at Worlds? I missed this entirely and plan on missing the finals too.

>>58126633
I mean I assume it would be easier than dota or league but whats the point? You still need a team to play with either way though.

>>58126635
A lot of the non VGC stuff was on seperate channels, so Unite stuff was on Unite.

>>58126467
I wonder how many Japanese are utterly repulsed by the state of America

I have no idea what is happening

>>58126612
not even chinese like it

Unite has the most viewers out of them, tcg vgc and go

>>58126666
...it's the only game being streamed

>>58126671
check the streams for each respective event

>>58126194
I hope Giovanni wins because he's cute

>>58126467
he probably only sees that shit in America so of course hes going to be looking at it the way a human looks at a monkey in the zoo

>>58126666
>>58126666
Well it's the one on the main channel right now

>>58126467
americabros... we won worlds but at what cost?

>unite general is two weeks old
>still no activity despite the championship happening
Dead game...

>best of 5
see you the fuck later then.

>>58126502
This is going to be the new Wolf-haters meme pic, isn't it?

When will they make pokemon CS?

>>58126694

>>58126467
>>58126687
just wait till the nips see what san francisco has to offer next year lol

unite is a more competitive game than you'd imagine
you need a 5-stack and discord to play ranked so you can beat Charizardboy2018 who will abruptly go AFK halfway through the match because his mom told him to go do his homework instead

>>58126735
Is half of the area next to the pay still covered in chinese gore posters?

Closing cerimony when?

>>58126735
san fran has a really nice asian population. chinatown is goated in that city

>>58126749
just watch whats going on, you arent getting your ZA news anytime soon

>>58126749
there's no ZA news lil bro

Where is Wolf Glock?

>>58126775
Still living in Roy Razzo's shadow

I can never remember, are the announcements after their respective games or at the end together?

>>58126788
Right before the video game finals usually.

How come Unite hasn't had a new map in years? Last time that made me play the game again

>get Leafeon
>win
Nice game Unitetards

The coolest...the strongest

Nips really went to another hemisphere just to job lol

>>58126830
2nd place aint bad

How come they don’t do Pokken.

Pokken 2, when?

>>58126783
He's be in James's shadow soon

>>58126844
Pokken is a dead game. Unite took its place

>>58126844
Pokken started dropping off once the game got old and they realized there'll never be a Pokken 2.

>>58126844

>crustle is broken in unite
lol

do u guys watch on youtube or twitch?

>>58126830
They got a triple crown at home, it's fine if they don't win so soon.
They're just resting for now. Yuros had their time last year, now it's burgers.
They will be back with vengeance next year, specially so since Champions will be a mobile game, and that means all the Japanese mobile gacha-adjacent meta tryhards and whales will start getting into the game.
People are seriously underestimating how flooded events will become with how much mobileshit will open accessibility.

>>58126864
>>58126849
Based Tonosama.
Truly goated. Can't believe it's been nearly a decade ever since. God, I'm old.

>>58126284
I want the horses to never win worlds so I we can laugh at horsefags for losing completely after 16 long months

PERUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
SUDAMERICA GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

team japan sucked

>>58126887
multitwitch so I can avoid ads

Did the japanese cry

Is it Go, TCG, then VGC?

>>58126303
>we
speak for yourself

When will they announe end-of-worlds news on ZA?

I hope there is no news on ZA just to fuck with these faggots asking 24 / 7

Next game region confirmed to be in Peru

>>58126888
Pokken was actually goat'd for content. Didn't he fight the junior champion as well?

I hope Evans wins so we can finally have someone who won Worlds twice once in Seniors and once in Masters.
Until that crazy-ass kid who's likely gonna win Seniors today goes to win Masters in the future at least.

Pokemon is way too rng and 50/50 to have someone win multiple times anymore

An inside source has informed me that one of the Pokemon Unite semi finalist teams was so salty about losing yesterday they called in a bomb threat. TPC is weighing pressing charges right now.

Just ordered a pineapple pizza, hope James wins

Peru going wild in the Twitch chat

>>58126937
I think it tells you something when last year's world champion got eliminated in top 18 even though its the exact same game.

Do you think the person in the Pikachu costume gets paid a livable wage

>>58126973
its a different format.

>>58126937
It's definitively possible, but it has to be someone truly cracked. The Kevin kid on Seniors today is one possible candidate for that. His brother is no slouch either, and you can tell he's been teaching him well.
People try to downplay Ray's accomplishments, but it's not like Pokemon had any less RNG or 50/50 back then either. Hell, it had even more. Even if you accept the "less skill" cope, ultimately, everyone was on the same playing field. It's ridiculously impressive no matter how you try to twist it because you're fighting against the game as much as you are against your opponents.
Turns out farming bloated as fuck with shitters regionals does not mean you can truly compete at the world stage where everyone who actually truly knows their shit is.

They should do a stadium 2 circuit

>>58126906
Yeah it pretty much goes by care. Then announcements in between TGC and VGC usually.

event times

>>58126977
Its indentured servitude. They take people guilty of emulating Nintendo games and make them work their debt away

>>58126989
announcements are after VGC. closing ceremony

>>58126937
If this fucker who's on TCG won literally every single fucking international this year and is now on finals and won worlds two years ago too, with last year worlds being a top4 for him, can accomplish that on fucking TCG then someone can do it on VGC too. It's just that no one is truly good enough for that yet.

Shows how competitive the Unite scene is that a Peru team can win kek

>>58126210
Because you think spain is in south america lmao

>>58126993
so like 6 hours until vgc what the fuck

>>58127013
Every country in the world is “south” America

Unite commentators are based.

How many heat wave misses are we gonna see in finals

bracket reset

>>58127142
I wonder how many competitors this weekend can bench 2pl8

Speaking of Pokemon Go I just got my drops but I haven't played in forever.

>>58127156
I'm surprised they haven't. Even traditional chinese has a version

patoman is having a fucking stroke

wow, spain defeated by freaking india

So they spin and whoever spins better wins?

>>58127244
Because there's a gorillion billion chinks. They actually make money.
Who the fuck cares about hues? Hell, it took spics TWO decades of 24/7 whining for it to finally happen to them.

This worlds arena is so much better than last year's where it was a bunch of cheap plastic palm trees.

>>58127076
it's pretty logical, they come for the event, they try to steal anything they can, they return and no one can do anything about it.
If anything a tourist need to be the first suspects just for the convenience, someone local can always be persecuted later but you have time limit for the tourist

>>58127308
this setup is just for the finals but I agree

>>58127303
only taiwan uses traditional chinese

The fact that GO is a part of the World Championships and Pokken isn't makes me sick.

>>58127312
now daddy trump is going to punish him

>>58127324
It is what it is.
Remember that the competition is secondary, this is all about shilling, and sadly, Pokken is ass at shilling and making money by itself too.

>>58127333
I hate that this event is now a glorified trade show

this set is tense

>>58127333
Did Pokken manage to get any footing in the FGC or was it Pokebros only?

This is a genuinely decent Pokemon Go match for once

>>58127352
FGC only play whatever pays the most that they are good at. Anything that does not match that criteria is ignored or treated with hostility.

>>58127352
The 2D-3D shift weirded out too many people. And then the decaying combo stuff made it less fun for people who did put time into it.
I wish it would get a sequel though, I bought the WiiU and Switch release for it.

WE DID IT SARS

DO NOT REDEEM THE CHAMPIONSHIP

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIR DO NOT REDEEEEEEM WHAT ARE YOU DOOING!?!!?!?!

>>58127390
Notice how the Indian is AI generated (no attractive, fit Indians exist IRL)

ok this is cringe

>>58127352
None at all from the FGC crowd. It was mostly Pokemon fans.

>>58127373
IIrc. Pokem actually had a lot of money in prize pool and people still didn't want to compete

How many tcg matches are there today?

Genocide has been bad for a veeeeeery long time, Lysandre.

I've been resestting for a 0IV speed Calyrex while waiting for the VGC match for two hours straight and so far nearly all my attempts have resulted in getting it at 31IVs. Would it've really killed to have a way to set a Pokemon's IVs set to zero, or actually make Calyrex catchable in SV?

Rusty bottle caps will be revealed in gen 12 that allow you to lower IVs to 0. Until then keep catching them over and over and over again.

Goddamn, Gabriel's fucking pissed.

he pulled it anyways

>>58127809
it's 1/64, it's not that hard

Well there's China no longer allowed on the competitive scene

Gabe is losing this unless he gets some insane pulls

>>58127848
agreed

By the way did Day one and two only show the VGC on the main Pokemon Twitch? Did you have to watch the TCG Twitch for their day one and two?

>Chinkoid VS Brazilian brownoid
