VGC Diaries: Philadelphia Autumn Regionals: Round 1 vs. Joseph R.

Back in late October, I participated in my first ever in-person Pokemon competition: the Autumn Regional VGC championships hosted in Philadelphia, PA. It was an extremely well-run tournament, I'm told, and it was super fun to participate. There were eight "swiss rounds," which means that each round you're matched against players with the same W-L record as yourself, and even if you lose all your matches you get to keep playing all day.

So I had eight battles that day, and I'm going to post all of them, one per day until I'm done. I wish I'd had the forethought to have these uploads correspond with the nights of Hanukkah--it would have been perfect--but ah well...

Even though I posted it previously to my channel feed, I'm not going to tell you till the end how well I did, but I *will* tell you each day how each of my opponents did:

This opponent finished the day in 145th place (out of 170 who finished the day) sporting a record of 3 wins, 5 losses.
