🌟 THUMBNAIL ART COMMISSIONS 🌟 Hi! I'm Ambird, an artist and designer looking to work with content creators for thumbnail art and design work! DM me @ ambird on Discord for inquiries, shares appreciated! 🧡 [ #splatoon #compsplatoon #art #commissions ]

Can confirm I tested the resolution but going around for Pokémon Champions on Switch 2 If you boot it docked it won’t load in increased resolution so undock it and re dock it then it will ILCA and Unity. What a duo.

These are the top 128 teams from the 2026 Orlando Regional! 🇺🇸🏆 #PlayPokemon #PokemonVGC 📍 Orlando, FL, United States 🗓️ 4–5 April 2026 🎮 VGC Regulation Set I 📄 8+4 Swiss rounds + X-2 top cut 👥 676 players 🏆 Won by 🇺🇸 Bhushan Thumsi 📖 All info: buff.ly/o3M3gJb

Home from Orlando! Managed my first Top 64 and my second Day 2, running Kyogre & Lunala once again. I was an hour away from refunding Orlando when they announced it would be played on Reg I, and as soon as I heard that I knew the team needed another run.

6-2 at Orlando Regional, making this my 2nd Day 2 appearance in my VGC career. Feels so good after back to back 5-3s at Milwaukee and Seattle. Glad I got to give this team another run before the end of Scarlet & Violet. Still the best Kyogre/Lunala player of Generation 9.

One last ride for the team that got me my first Day 2.

Update: heavily caffenated and due to land in Orlando here soon. Gonna sleep for 14 hours tonight.

I have to be on my flight to Orlando in 6 hours and I can't sleep 🙃

Picked up my 3rd Cup win in the past 2 weeks today. Bring on Orlando baby.

Won a Reg I tour last night, won a Reg F local Cup today. What a wild 24 hours. Improved a top-8 BFL to a win, so +25 towards the Worlds dream.

Winning a 60-person online tour the week before Orlando Regional feels good. Hopefully this momentum carries over

I think cleaning up AI code is now the thing I hate most about my job.

Congratulations to 🇺🇸 Dylan Matthews, your 2026 Houston Regional Champion! 🇺🇸🏆 #PlayPokemon #PokemonVGC Dylan's previous achievements: ▶️ 2026 Milwaukee Regional Top 4 ▶️ 2026 Pittsburgh Regional Top 4 ▶️ 2025 Louisville Regional Top 32 ▶️ 2024 Orlando Regional Top 16

Can we all just like... be NICE to each other and stop using AI and lying and killing people for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES

Orlando is gonna be so fun

Went to a Cup on a whim, went undefeated and picked up my first local win since November. +25 towards the Worlds dream!

Happy Mario day!

Being sick is awful.

Nintendo is suing the US Government over Donald Trump's tariffs

There's two universal languages: music and Pokémon

5-3 and 195th at Seattle. Bittersweet, I played really well but pulled two Regional champions in my run. All three of my losses made Day 2. +60 tho! Keeping the dream alive for the moment.

Seattle Regional tomorrow. Points keeps my Worlds chase alive, so that's the goal. The field is low-key kinda stacked, so hopefully things go my way.

Won my 3rd set in USPL to move to 3-1 on the season. Got a Cup tomorrow and Seattle next weekend, hopefully I can carry this momentum through. Oh yeah, the GC is a thing too, I suppose.

I want it on the record of history that artists realized the harm immediately and were (and continue to be) loud bitches trying to stop the idiots who are out of their minds.

I don't like the trend of shows giving you a character's backstory in the opening episode.

Something I love about VGC is being able to be genuinely happy to see people I've met and played against before do well and succeed.

Ace Trainer has a nice ring to it.

Lotta my local fam did well in this one 🧡 (Sadly I did kinda meh)

Players who always shout as they die “shoot them they are 1 tap!” about to be exposed.

Its funny seeing mainline discussion still think motion controls are bad meanwhile the splatoon devs are like yeah they got so broken we have to nerf the hitboxes.

Picked up my first win in USPL, and took 2nd at a local last Friday, all running Cary D’Ortona's Toronto winning team. Really proud of myself for picking up a new team this quickly. Now to catch up on the other 3 regionals that happened this past weekend.
