There's a high chance I'll be on hiatus for competitive mons for around 5 years, since data engineering is so time-consuming...

Happy Anniversary to Xenogears (PS1)! 🎂🎉
Released in North America on this day in 1998, this masterpiece from Square pushed storytelling, philosophy, and music to new heights. It's still one of the most unforgettable RPGs ever made!

Using other water types feels more satisfying. Wailmer is just as spammable, but Staryu w/ Icy Wind is nice.
Abra may be too much for the tier though. My theory is that it has too many good sets, and hard to stop while being able to cover majority of it's checks.

Probably the worst time ranting this off since I'll have 6 hours sleep for the job, whoops. But I'm glad I could get this off my chest here before I say it on the forum. I guess I'm just very passionate about ADV LC.

The last one is Sitrus Berry itself, and where its development has led right now. As much as I adore certain Sitrus interactions, I think it has created too many uninteractive, linear sequences that have nerfed reaction and reads. And that bothers me a lot.

The first one is Diglett's impact on the teambuilding, and how its restrained nature has led teams to be simplified like:
Team with only one mon or non-weak to Diglett, or Trapinch + Diglett weak mons.
There are some variations in there. But ultimately, this is how it feels in a nutshell

ADV LC has gone through huge developments after the Porygon ban, and I think it's been stabilized. But it's also been pushed where there are problems that will cause a huge impact on the tier.

Before I sleep, I can't thank @grapetylenol.bsky.social enough for giving ADV LC spotlight again. I know you've gotten a lot of messages since your department, but from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. I'll cheer you on whenever you're heading at, you deserve the best.

With that said, I will enjoy taking a backseat from the tier. I'll still update the resources and keep myself updated. But I've lost the will to try competing to win, as that was never my intention to begin with, and I had nonstop tours where I could feel the burnout.

I'd have to thank the ADV LC playerbase for giving me a reason to stay in for the tier. Without them, I wouldn't have been there for so long or have the reputation in LC community today.

I'd never think of knowing the LC playerbase through ADV LC, not even imagining talking to the high/top players in LC and getting praised by them. Always weird for me because I never asked for it, but it makes sense with the effort I put into.

Way too late night thoughts, but I'm very happy with what I've accomplished in ADV LC. Consistent results, strong meta development despite its ups and downs, and becoming better as a builder and a player.

Heartbroken by Hax's passing, how this was led up, and the many ways it could have been prevented. I'm just ugh... emotions bottled up. May Hax get his peace. It's just an utter tragedy, it's hard to not associate this when thinking of the community.

Reading Yu-Gi-Oh manga past days, I did not expect to see so many dead bodies. Straight up like a routine each chapter lmfao.
