Team USA vs Team South America International Friendly

This Saturday afternoon, the United States of America will play against Team South America in a 5th Generation International Friendly, right before Pokémon X and Y is released. This is the first time that South America will battle in front of the public as they do not have any official VGC support there. The friendly will showcase some of the best players from both regions in the current format — set to start its final events just a week later at the Fall Regional Championships.

Wow, sorry Gavin but you’re on fire lately.
Yeah feathers, you’re right. I just don’t like that some people include Mexico in North America when is convenient for them, and sometimes include them in what we call LATIN America. And Mexico is in both things.

I personally apologize for my inability to play in this event. I agreed to play before there was a set date and did not realize that it overlapped with a wedding, kyu.

Ps wolfey sux

I guess it´s not like Wolfey sucks. You should watch the battles. I think it was well-played by me, and also from Wolfey side.
In the first battle he discovered my Scarf Latios cuz his Landy was Scarf too, but i was expecting a Focus Sash/Yache set. I guess that´s why Wolfey defeated my easily in the first battle. I mean, in the first battle there was no way to me to know that his landy was Scarfed xP

I couldn’t help but notice the team of Aaron’s opponent in the first set. I tought he was a genius, both due to the surgically perfect ev’s fixes both due to the sets adjustments, which finally gave a sense to that trash.

… then I saw him still running 252/252 oh hp fire Latios xDD

I also lol’d at the LO conkeldurr as well as at Aaron’s Hydreigon and Tyranitar which are blatantly obvious hacks 8D

Good thing though that these friendlies are still being organized, I love to watch them and this promotes the game so gj guys.
