Finally at 1000 posts
It has been over 7 (wtf) years since I first joined smogon, where I started my account with a horrible Gen 6 AG RMT, featuring esteemed top tier mons like Bibarel and Primeape (Bibarel i understand was bad, Primeape legit carried me through low-mid ladder at the time thanks to being a fighting type with sleep immunity during a time where Smeargle and Darkrai sleepspam ran rampant). After that, I mostly lurked in the OM forum.
At the end of generation 6, I decided to look at a subform called "Pet Mods", and before I knew it, I made my first submission to FEOU (for reference, it was Serperior + Darmanitan, and its ability was 1.5x Sheer Force but it only affected Grass moves. Obviously, it didn't win). After that, I spent my time in Generation 7 submitting and voting in various Pet Mods, mainly FE, Clean Slate, Eternal Pokemon & Smash Mods.
It wouldn't be until Generation 8 until i led my first mod, the incredibly inactive (but still managed to be finished!)
Z-Revival, and later created a solomod (
Random Pool 0). The 0 implies this would be a prototype for a future solomod, but that never came (yet?). Finally, we have this mod, which was an underrated favorite of mine from Gen 7. I really need to get down the consistency of making slates in a timely fashion
I recently participated in the first ever PMPL, where the WORKERS UNION OF GENSOKOYO and myself became the INAUGURAL CHAMPIONS. Even though I went 0-1 playing a meta I had literally never played before my game (Alternatium), I still had a great time with the team.
Favorite Mods (not in order)
- Fusion Evolutions (a simple concept, and what got me into pet mods in the first place)
- Clean Slates (very fun to sub and play, even though I have fallen behind on CSM2 subs)
- Eternal Pokemon (was very pleased to see this return in Gen 8, it is a great mod)
- Smash Mods (i like to keep the mod counts for smash mods up to date, and i really like seeing pokemon from all different mods come together)
- Micrometa Mafia (i love mafia/sus games and seeing that combined with a pet mod was really cool. even if it did get a bit toxic, and most of my time was either faking or actually being bm'd as mafia, i still managed to have a massive impact on the game. I am really excited for the generation 9 edition of mmm.)
