Worlds Teams Image Info

First and foremost, this image is meant to be shared. I created the first iteration of this graphic in 2016 in order to dispel incorrect assumptions about who had cut Worlds and which Pokémon were used. Before that original version was created, there was no public resource available with this information at all, it only existed in spreadsheets I happened to be maintaining for my own personal reference.
I thought this information should be out there and I deliberately chose an image as the format to share it rather than a series of tweets, spreadsheet, or website since images are most easily saved and reposted.
That being said, if you are sharing this image or using it as a reference, please be respectful to the amount of time and effort I put into it. Reaching the current level of completion has been a years-long process and portions of the information presented were effectively "lost media" until I was able to piece them together.

If you would like to use this image as a reference and are unsure about proper citation, you can reach me at: ryuzakivgc@gmail.com or @ryuzaki_vgc on twitter
