If you haven't read Gabe's recent posts on Penny-Arcade about his pokémon tournament experience you really need to.

Or maybe she's just a very smart 12 year old who plays pokeymans.; July 24, 2007 at 8:36 PM
Kylebrown said...: I thought of those options, and they help the claim. It just felt faked. I want it to be real... I'm just stating my intuition.; July 24, 2007 at 8:39 PM

Regardless, I still hate EV training. Invisible stats oughtn't be this important.; July 25, 2007 at 9:23 AM

It'd be nice to be able to forget that games are just computer programs.; July 28, 2007 at 12:02 AM
