Session Ident: ImOn_A_Boat
01[22:47] <TheMantyke> I'm inclined to think you're him.
[22:47] <ImOn_A_Boat> no
[22:47] <ImOn_A_Boat> but im his friend
[22:48] <ImOn_A_Boat> pisses me off that u guys talk crap behind his back
01[22:48] <TheMantyke> On the contrary, I've told him to his face that he needs to work on his basic understanding of VGC
[22:48] <ImOn_A_Boat> wut
[22:48] <ImOn_A_Boat> thats even worse
[22:49] <ImOn_A_Boat> he knows what he does.
01[22:50] <TheMantyke> How is that worse? I'm being honest with him. I'm trying to get him to understand he needs to learn the basics so he can stop embarassing himself.
01[22:50] <TheMantyke> I've been down the road of "everyone thinks I'm a moron"
01[22:50] <TheMantyke> and I'm open to helping him improve
01[22:51] <TheMantyke> So, you said you were a friend of his.
01[22:51] <TheMantyke> Do you have a smogon account?
01[22:53] <TheMantyke> I've tried to give him hints these last few weeks that he should consider enrolling into Battling 101 to shape up his game
01[22:54] <TheMantyke> He has a lot of ambition behind him, but it's being spent in all the wrong placs.
[22:54] <ImOn_A_Boat> yeah i do but i want to stay hidden
01[22:54] <TheMantyke> Alrighty.
[22:54] <ImOn_A_Boat> but he has potential
01[22:54] <TheMantyke> But you can't honestly tell me this:
[22:54] <ImOn_A_Boat> he created his on crew
[22:54] <ImOn_A_Boat> team shedninjas
01[22:54] <TheMantyke> Oh god, that thing.
[22:54] <ImOn_A_Boat> unstopable
01[22:55] <TheMantyke> That's one of those facets I was talking about
[22:55] <ImOn_A_Boat> what do u mean
01[22:56] <TheMantyke> He doesn't realize how much of a joke clan-esque kind of things like that are
[22:56] <ImOn_A_Boat> most clans are jokes
01[22:56] <TheMantyke> That one is too
[22:56] <ImOn_A_Boat> but his clan is at the top of the charts
[22:57] <ImOn_A_Boat> he has top elite players
01[22:57] <TheMantyke> top of what charts
[22:57] <ImOn_A_Boat> expert evan
[22:57] <ImOn_A_Boat> sp67
[22:57] <ImOn_A_Boat> dp67
01[22:58] <TheMantyke> Every single group member beyond a delutioned few took that invitation as a way to clear up their user notifications without making the group owner feel bad.
01[22:58] <TheMantyke> I can guarentee you none of them are spouting praise of team shedinja
01[22:58] <TheMantyke> especially since the owner seems to want to change the name every two weeks
[22:59] <ImOn_A_Boat> lol
[22:59] <ImOn_A_Boat> i dont know what to say
[22:59] <ImOn_A_Boat> i guess we just have to wait till january
[22:59] <ImOn_A_Boat> or even april
[22:59] <ImOn_A_Boat> until gp stikres again
[22:59] <ImOn_A_Boat> pce
[22:59] <ImOn_A_Boat> btw
[22:59] <ImOn_A_Boat> IM ON A BOAT
01[22:59] <TheMantyke> When did he strike the first time
[22:59] <ImOn_A_Boat> philly
[23:00] <ImOn_A_Boat> i heard he went 5-2
[23:00] <ImOn_A_Boat> thats really goood
01[23:00] <TheMantyke> That's not much of an accomplishment when half the seniors section are oblivious to EVs and IVs.
[23:00] <ImOn_A_Boat> woah
[23:00] <ImOn_A_Boat> seniors are not nooobs
[23:01] <ImOn_A_Boat> they know as much as our current masters
01[23:01] <TheMantyke> You can't deny that a large portion of the senior age group is oblivious to the concept of IVs and EVs.
[23:01] <ImOn_A_Boat> take a look at the seniors who just became masters. they mastered the meta game
[23:01] <ImOn_A_Boat> the new seniors are gonna be just like that too
[23:02] <ImOn_A_Boat> and know they definitly know what ivs and evs are
01[23:02] <TheMantyke> I'm not saying that senior divison players aware of competitive Pokemon aren't worse than masters players.
[23:03] <ImOn_A_Boat> most of seniors are aware of competitive pokemon
[23:03] <ImOn_A_Boat> first round might be bull. but second and one is legit
[23:03] <ImOn_A_Boat> pokemans
01[23:05] <TheMantyke> There are people oblivious of the underlying concepts all the way up to masters. There are just more of them the farther you go down in age.
01[23:05] <TheMantyke> But I think that diverts what I'm trying to say
01[23:05] <TheMantyke> The fact is, Golden Piloswine has a very poor comprehension of the game from what I've seen of his team rates and advice.
01[23:06] <TheMantyke> He needs to work on it.
01[23:06] <TheMantyke> Otherwise, he'll still be one of the biggest laughing sprees around for the VGC sections on either side.
[23:06] <ImOn_A_Boat> yeah laughing spree
[23:07] <ImOn_A_Boat> doubt that
[23:07] <ImOn_A_Boat> wait till they see his wreckage at regs
[23:07] <ImOn_A_Boat> or even nats
[23:07] <ImOn_A_Boat> he has the potential of being champion
01[23:08] <TheMantyke> You're free to judge for yourself. He has post after post of poor advice. Just check out his Registeel analysis
[23:09] <ImOn_A_Boat> u have a link?
[23:09] <ImOn_A_Boat> btw its not about the team
01[23:09] <TheMantyke> He has a whole world of improvement to tackle, I'm just waiting for him to take the first steps.
[23:09] <ImOn_A_Boat> u ahve to watch his battling style
[23:09] <ImOn_A_Boat> prediction after prediciton
01[23:09] <TheMantyke> lol
[23:10] <ImOn_A_Boat> im srs
[23:10] <ImOn_A_Boat> just watch
01[23:10] <TheMantyke> prediction is glorified guess work and is no substitution for a solidly built team.
01[23:10] <TheMantyke> you cannot rely on it 100%
01[23:10] <TheMantyke> or as your biggest selling point
01[23:10] <TheMantyke> as for that registeel analysis: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3471020
