Fair Warning: This post is about to get really geeky... and I don't care! The Art and Culture of Pokemon Plushies I remember my first big tournament in Nationals 2013. If memory serves me right, the winner that year, Gavin Michaels, had a horde of plushies with him. When I asked various people what they were for, it was apparently "an intimidation factor." I saw a number of the veteran players do this and like the young sheeperson I was at the time, I was all too willing to embrace the growing trend. This trend is basically a VGC tradition for me now. This post, I'm going to geek out talk about my weird obsession fun hobby (a metahobby, if you will?) that I do while I play at live tournaments. The Main Squad I tend to use these four when I go to tournaments, only changing it up as my mood allows. Lapras For anyone who knows me in this community very long or seen my other team report, I am pretty much obsessed with the Plesiosaur now
