I'm streaming Worlds after I eat lunch

Showdown now has a VGC 2018 ladder for the month! If you're looking for teams to try, here's a list of a lot of well-performing teams, separated by Mega Evolution: www.nimbasacitypost.com/2018/05/poke...

NAIC watch party come through twitch.tv/nerd_of_now

The console game industry is looking so bleak now that all of the big three are bumping up their prices, maybe it's about time I make a Steam account and move to it

A new VGC ladder just went live on showdown? Must be a good time to add more VGC sets for it into the Damage Calc! Hope these VGC 2011 sets help (Also finally adding Rivalry functionality)! idk why everyone keeps talking about Regi though none of the Regis are legal in 2011

Okay I'll spill the beans pokepast.es/4177893fe5a2...

My best Global Challenge run yet! I did some actual practice with this team before the tour like simulating a GC run and I think it paid off. Also stopped early with 9 games left. Might post the team tomorrow, not sure. Hope it's enough for top 32 (and for Liberty Note results)

I need to make that Nimbasa City Post account soon so I don't have to post event results on main

These are the Day 2 teams from the 2025 Pokémon VGC Fortaleza Regional! Congratulations to 🇧🇷 Bruno Rebello (@brgvgc on X) on his win! #PlayPokemon 🔗 Teams: www.nimbasacitypost.com/2025/03/fort...

These are the Top 128 teams from the 2025 Pokémon VGC Vancouver Regional! Congratulations to 🇺🇸 Behzad Muntazir (@BehzadVgc on X) on his win! #PlayPokemon 🔗 Teams: www.nimbasacitypost.com/2025/03/vanc...

I think my goal tonight for the GC is going to be to get to high 1600s, and if I don't burn through too many games, I'll finish the run tomorrow

Live now twitch.tv/nerd_of_now

I think I'll stream the first couple games of the GC tonight (like 5ish maybe more) and then I might discuss Pokémon Champions after

I know I just got a big prediction wrong from this past presentation but I'm thinking that surely the Worlds announcement this year for vg is going to be the release date for Champions Shadow drop after the ceremony if they're real

I was VERY wrong

~12 hours until the Pokémon presents, I'm gonna say the only mainline info we're getting is an SV tera raid and a Z-A trailer I'm also predicting that we'll get enough info on Z-A to tell that we WILL play VGC on it

These are the Top 512 teams from the 2025 Pokémon VGC Europe International Championships! Congratulations to 🇺🇸 Wolfe Glick ( @wolfeglick.bsky.social ) on his second International win! #PlayPokemon 🔗 Teams: www.nimbasacitypost.com/2025/02/euro...

Imagine holding out on a Regional announcement for this long for PORTLAND

These are the Top 64 teams from the 2025 Pokémon VGC Mérida Regional! Congratulations to 🇲🇽 Daniel Nuñez (@Daibaa_ on Twitter) on his first Regionals win! 🔗 Teams: www.nimbasacitypost.com/2025/02/meri...

I got destroyed this GC so I think I need to move some of my practice to in game ladder Also ngl I think streaming my run without the mic on does best for my mental, would recommend if the GCs mess with your mental too

Yep www.twitch.tv/nerd_of_now

I'll go live again with the rest of my GC games in ~15 minutes

Live now www.twitch.tv/nerd_of_now

I think I'll start streaming my GC run in an hour or two

I feel like I'm close to completing the damage calc. My to-do list currently has adding a multicalc mode, creating a mobile-friendly UI, updating Gens 1 and 2 calculations to be on par with the other gens, adding VGC sets to gens without them, and adding multilingual support. Am I missing anything?

*Repost from Nimbasa City Post on Twitter* These are the Top 256 teams from the 2025 Pokémon VGC San Antonio Regional! Congratulations to 🇺🇸 Justin Tang (unironicpanda) on his third Regionals win! 🔗 Teams: www.nimbasacitypost.com/2025/01/san-...

I forgot to make a post like a week or two ago but better late than never. The Damage Calc now has Gen 5 VGC sets, and a dropdown menu for Hidden Power IV spreads for gens 3-6! I also made the app run a little faster overall. nerd-of-now.github.io/NCP-VGC-Dama...

Learned about an odd interaction today at a local: On turn zero, if a Pokemon with Protosynthesis holding a Booster Energy and a Pokemon with a weather ability that doesn't set sun enter the field, Protosynthesis activates immediately after the weather ability.

Aw man Wolfe's using the unoptimal Life Orb Kingdra spread

Zero Nintendo 1st/2nd party announcements at TGA isn't surprising when they gave like 2 minutes to a Palworld trailer

(Bluesky is getting this early because there's no schedule option) New VGC Damage Calc update: damage calculations have been reworked. This will make multi-hit calculations more accurate! I also added an extra decimal point for calculations, but I might go back to just one if it isn't that useful.

I am on the verge of making multihit move % chances more accurate for the VGC Damage Calc, I just need to decide if some damage arrays should remain 1D or if I should convert all damage arrays to 2D (even though the actual % chance will be calculated with a dictionary)

So are we actually moving to this site or is the original hellsite still too strong

Let's go this platform is already more appealing than Twitter
