Meet the Managers of the NPA and Player Registration
Sign ups have ended with 10 of the previous managers and 23 new users signing up to manage for this season of the National Pokémon Association. Only 6 spots were open and lots of thought was put into the managers chosen. It was tough to make the final calls, but these are the managers and teams that will be playing in this season.
Returning Managers
Zach, Fortree Brave Birds
Zach was the manager of the Brave Birds in the second season of the NPA. He has a large community presence, is a moderator on Nugget Bridge, and has organized many tournaments and kept track of their stats. He won three Regionals in 2013 and barely needed to attend US Nationals that year in order to clinch his Worlds invite. He is committed to victory and knows how to work hard to clutch out.
DrFidget, Goldenrod Gamblers
DrFidget has been a much-loved member of the community after being the only person to stream Worlds in 2010. He is also the organizer of The Lava Pool, a highly informative podcast about the Video Game Championships, usually featuring many powerful trainers sharing advice and strategy. In 2013, he placed 3rd and 7th at two different Regionals. The Gamblers finished 4-4 in NPA 2, and are hungry for an even better placing this season.
Ray, Hearthome Holy Spirits
The three-time World Champion Ray Rizzo. There is not enough space in this brief article to cover his Pokemon successes. In the first NPA, he managed the Cleveland Escavaliers, which finished seventh. Last season, he led the Holy Spirits to a 6-2 final record, losing in the Final Four to the Sunyshore Chargers. He is known for drafting star player DeagleBeagle every season. As always, expect the best.
PrettyLittleLiar, Sunyshore Chargers
PrettyLittleLiar experienced a brief stint as a player in the first NPA before returning as a manager in NPA 2, leading the Sunyshore Chargers to a 6-2 finish in the regular season and 2nd place overall. He has placed at Worlds himself, losing in the Top 4 in 2011 to eventual champion Ray Rizzo. He is an active poster, player, and threat.
Huy, Castelia Cones
Huy has had an incredibly strong presence in the online competitive Pokemon community since the early 2000s. He has also been mighty on the battlefield, with back-to-back Top 8 finishes at Worlds in 2009 and 2010. In the original NPA, the team he co-managed with Darnell Washington, the Chicago Afrobulls, reached the finals, losing to the Sacramento Slakings 2-3. His team, the Cones, went 4-4 last NPA season with a strong comeback at the end of the season. Expect big business from this manager.
Tan, Celestic Stars
Tan has been a member of the VGC community since 2012. The Stars have been known to flood the forum with not only their team spirit but also their good cheer. In NPA 2, he led the stars to a mediocre 4-4 finish. However, the Stars were the only team to take a week away from the Seafoam Islanders all tournament. If they can recreate that success, Tan’s Stars will definitely be a top tier team.
TalkingLion, Fuchsia Ninjas
TalkingLion returns to manage the Fuschia Ninjas, which made the Final Four in NPA 2 with a 4-4 record losing to eventual champions, the Seafoam Islanders. TalkingLion has been a member of the VGC community since 2011 with several high placings in offline tournaments in both the Senior division and the Masters division. He is active as a moderator on Pokemon Showdown and although one of the youngest managers, has shown he knows how to lead.
feathers, Fallarbor Flames
feathers returns to manage the Flames for NPA 3! The Flames finished 3-5 in NPA 2 with strong team players like Fish, gene, and PROFESSORLABCOAT. feathers is a powerful player herself, with an undefeated Swiss run at Oregon Regionals in 2013. She is one of the artists who regularly creates artwork for Nugget Bridge and also the only Canadian manager.
theamericandream38, Seafoam Islanders
theamericandream38 is the player who perhaps has had the most success in the NPA. In the first NPA, he played for the winning team, the Sacramento Slakings. In NPA 2, he led the Seafoam Islanders to a nearly undefeated victory. theamericandream38 and his Islanders are definitely the team to beat this season.
makiri, Mistralton Jets
Like Huy, makiri has been integral to the online Pokemon community for many years. He has had many first place Regional finishes and played in the World Championships. Last NPA season, he managed the Jets and in the eyes of many “won” the draft, emerging with an extremely powerful roster. Although the Jets had a mediocre performance in NPA 2, ending the season at 4-4, Makiri has led several teams in Pokemon tournaments to victory, as well as being a winning player on the Sacramento Slakings in the first NPA. You can never count him out!
And the Newcomers
benjitheGREAT, Goldenrod Rollouts
benjitheGREAT, while a relatively unknown player until the start of the 2011 season, has picked up considerably since, winning multiple Regionals in 2013 and 2014. He is replacing Smith as the manager of the Goldenrod Rollouts. Last season in the NPA, benjitheGREAT went 6-2 playing for the Stars and has shown he knows how a successful team runs in the league.
CT MikotoMisaka, Lavarre Pixies*
CT MikotoMisaka, although sometimes partaking in the oft-forgotten Trading Card Game section of official Pokemon tournaments, has been a longtime member of the online Pokemon community. He joins his Sacramento Slakings teammates makiri and theamericandream38 in the ranks of managers for NPA 3. He played for the Mossdeep Rockets in NPA 2, but otherwise has won every Pokemon team tournament he has participated in.
jio, Lilycove Cruisers*
Jio began his VGC career in 2011. Although he was unable to attend Regionals for the first year, he continues to be an active teambuilder and breeder for many high-level players. When he finally attended a Regional in 2012, he placed Top 8. He is one of the most powerful trainers active in the breeding scene.
Dubulous, Viridian Forest Hornets*
Dubs managed in the first NPA, but took a year off before returning to the scene. His team, the Golden State Wartortles, reached the Final Four before losing 3-2 to the eventual champions, the Sacramento Slaking. He has been a member of the competitive Pokémon community since around 2009.
Alaka, Olivine City Splashes*
Alaka is the second manager to return from the original NPA to manage in NPA 3 without managing last season. He led the Orlando Magikarp to a 5th place finish out of the 8 teams present, drafting a strong roster featuring current Regional champion mattj and first NPA 2 draft pick skarm. Alaka has shown intelligence in both managing and operating a team, and he will not disappoint this season.
Dim, Ever Grande Elite*
Dim has been an active user in the VGC community since 2010, and achieved success in the Senior division in 2012 by winning the World Championships. He didn’t stop there, with high finishes at Regionals, US Nationals, and especially at Worlds in 2013, barely losing in the last round to Cybertron who would go on to make Top 4. Dim continues to be a strong player in the 2014 season, and has clinched his Worlds invite.
Thank you again to everyone who took the time to sign up, sorry if you missed the cut.

Now, signing up won’t put you on a team by itself. The NPA draft will take place at some point after the 2014 Pokémon World Championships. The registrations will make up the pool of players that the managers will bid on. You can keep an eye out for managers doing try out sessions in this thread, but please keep in mind that spots are limited and not everyone will be drafted! We will be working to ensure the NPA is as entertaining for spectators as well as the participants themselves. Sign ups will last until August 17th! We look forward to seeing who will sign up this season to be drafted onto one of these 16 teams!

About me: Hi. =) Old school player. Name is short for “PokemonBattleBrain”, which is quite a mouthful, hence the shortening. Most of the old-timers like Ray, Omegadonut, and others know who I am, and some new people have heard of me as well(at least that is what they said when I met them at regs/nats!) I’ve been playing Pokemon a long time; I’ve seen the game evolve and grow over the years that competitive tournaments have been in existence. First real tournament was Battle in Seattle in 2005; back when link cables were still used for multiplayer. Those were the days!
Accomplishments: I’ll go through the relevant experiences(ones that pertain to double battles and VGC in particular). Battle in Seattle finalist 2005, SoCal JAA Top 8, L.A. VGS 2008 top 4, Worlds 2008, boned by the lottery in 2009, Regs 2010, top 32 Nats 2010, Worlds 2010, 1st Pleasanton VGC Fall 2013, top 32 Phoenix Fall 2013, 3rd Seattle Spring 2014, screwed by Stone Miss at Nats 2014. Not bad for first year back after a four year hiatus. Here’s to the future!

Tell us about yourself: First to say: I’m a Senior ^^ I started playing VGC in summer 2013 where the nationals already had been over (I made 3rd on a Pokemon-Day Tournament, but this isn’t notable, haha) and in the next year I wanted to play VGC seriously. I played at two european Nationals, Germany and Italy and I also played one International Challenge and made 16th of the whole World, but I played a Funteam ^^. I think there is nothing else to say, I play many tournaments in a german pokemon-forum and I want to play some NB-Tournaments after the WCS too.

Tell us about yourself: I started playing Pokemon competitively in 2012, where I learned the basics of team building and battling from friends who frequently attended the UK VGC’s. I made my competitive debut in the 2012 UK VGC at Birmingham, where I achieved Top 48 in the Masters division. From there, I built upon my VGC experience and built new and better teams, although I sadly couldn’t enter VGC 2013 or 2014 due to University commitments. This year, I qualified for the Pokemon Battle Tournament Grand Finals held in the UK, where I went 2-2 (notably losing to ThrillerMiller9 and the eventual winner of the tournament). I regularly participate in local tournaments, which I often win or reach Top-Cut. Although I have few accomplishments to show for it, I’m normally found watching the Nugget Bridge streams so that I can understand the format further and develop new ideas. Competitive Pokemon battling has become my all-time favourite hobby, and I hope to once again return to battle in VGC 2015 where I can smash scrubs with Mega Metagross.
Notable accomplishments:
VGC 2012: Top 48 Masters.
Qualified for the Pokemon Battle Tournament Grand Finals, where I went 2-2 in the Swiss.
Regular Top-Cutter in Local (unofficial) Tournaments.
Timezone: Eastern Standard Time
Tell us about yourself: Masters division. I work full time in advertising and have a journalism background. With the intro of XY I decided to get into competitive battling. I have to admit my tournament records are .500 at best but I am always open to learn.
Notable accomplishments: At PAX East 2014, I participated in the PPL. Earned 8 regular and 2 Elite Six badges.
Won a Shaymin plush out of a crane game at the mall.
Awesome to see so many people wanting to be involved in NPA this year. Considering there’s well over 200 signups as of me posting this, less than half of those who sign up are going to be drafted, but don’t get too discouraged if you don’t- spectating and enjoying the things that go on during the season is also incredibly fun.
Let’s get the serious stuff out of the way quick:
I’m going to hold tryouts for the Brave Birds, but by invite only. I’m going to read all of the signup posts closely and pick out some people that I don’t know much about that I think are worth giving a shot since I can’t possibly try out over 100 players in the span of a week. I just ask that you don’t PM me requests (don’t worry if you already have though) and please don’t even jokingly hint that I should draft you or try you out, it starts to get annoying and isn’t going to change my mind at all. You’ll find out on draft night if I’m considering you or not.
I wish I had the time to give everyone who wants one a fair shake at a tryout, but it’s just too much time and effort for something that will probably only determine one or two of my late picks this year. If you don’t get tried out by me or anyone else, take it as a challenge to improve for next year- there are a lot of people that already took a huge step over the course of the last 12 months, anyone can do it if they put in the work and keep their mind focused on learning and improving.
Anyone’s more than welcome to hang out in #bravebirds on IRC or in our Skype group though (my username is northernfront if you want to jump in), I don’t want to deter you from enjoying the camaraderie and happenings that NPA brings. Even if you don’t get drafted, we’ll always want people to help practice and have a good time with, so don’t be shy!

Tell us about yourself: I’m 17 and from Ohio, which is really boring. Like a lot of the people on this website, I’ve been playing Pokemon for pretty much as long as I can remember, and was basically “that kid” in elementary school who knew where to get all the legendaries and had the level 100’s and that whole deal. In terms of competitive play, which admittedly is probably all you really care about, I started seriously playing in Gen 5 mainly with the Smogon NU ruleset, dabbling in a couple other formats but not doing much seriously. I started messing around in VGC in early 2013, mostly running grimerty fun stuff like Sash Shell Smash Cloyster and Scarf Togekiss. Since by that point I was mostly just screwing around with stuff, I played inconsistently and didn’t really put much effort into improving and having actual viable teams. I went to the Virginia and Massachusetts Regionals on whims since my father had a business meeting not too far from Doswell and I had a college visit in Massachusetts so I had an excuse to miss an extra day of school. I really didn’t make much of an effort to learn the metagame or anything between then, but just trying stuff out on Showdown made me into sort of a competent player–really though ignore the first 50 or so posts I made here because I had no clue what I was talking about. After going X-3 at both regionals (which is way better than a Mega-Medicham/Jumpluff core or a grimerty Ray clone should have done anyways) I decided I may actually have a future interest in VGC since I met a lot of cool people and could potentially top cut some events if I put in a concentrated effort. From then on I started trying to learn the best strategies and figure out where my strength’s as a player lie. After a couple of months of late-night/early-morning partially inebriated Showdown sessions something finally clicked and I realized what it took to make a good team which played how I wanted it to as well as could reliably win me games. I ended up going 19th at US Nats which I think is pretty okay for my first legitimately serious event.
Frankly I’m not enamored with my prospects of getting picked (so expect me to whore myself out to all of you who have offered open tryouts), and I know all the managers are going to have serious reservations about drafting me because of my lack of experience. I understand it too, since there’s really nothing to prove that me doing mildly well at one event isn’t just a flash in the pan, wherein that situation the best case scenario is me sucking it up for a few weeks before getting dropped and at worst having me flat-out disappear. Still, I do have a genuine interest in the game, and believe that–as cliche as it sounds–I really can feel myself getting better as the weeks go by. After the Premier Challenges, or at least the one where I actually remembered to EV my Pokemon beforehand, I made adjustments to my team and game that I thought were glaring weaknesses, and even after Nationals I’ve identified a few areas that I’ve worked on improving and already I can feel a marked difference in my play. In all honesty I’ve come a long way since the beginning of this year, from “YOLO I’m gonna take the meta by storm with Jumpluff” to actually understanding the underlying factors which make certain teams successful and what tools I can best utilize in the current meta to maximize my chances of success. Given my results at Nationals as well as the caliber of players I won against (and lost to) I legitimately believe that I can compete with the best players, and, given my relative status as a young gun of the game, that I’m nowhere near my ceiling and should be able to consistently produce and improve for anybody who might take a chance on drafting me.
Outside of Pokemon, I’m going into my senior year of high school, but me being too busy with schoolwork and college apps probably shouldn’t be an issue since I pretty much started my senior slump halfway through sophomore year. I like horror movies and literature, metal music, NFL football, manga and anime (probably less so than some people on this site for anime, but still enough to get the “weeaboo” tag at school), and sometimes go to MTG tournaments on weekends with friends even though they actually are all serious competitors while I’ve been using the same Merfolk deck for like two years and still don’t even know what all the rules are. Probably the biggest accomplishment so far in my life is Boy Scouts, even though I’ve been about two months away from getting my Eagle Scout for two years now. If you’re looking for stuff that’s actually relevant to NPA, I’m a black belt in Taekwondo and have played sports pretty much all my life (two Varsity sports now in high school) so I know what’s necessary to work as a team, how to dedicate myself to improvement, and most importantly what it takes to win.
Also I’ve noticed I have a real problem keeping my posts to a manageable word count. If you’re looking for someone to respond to all of your messages with pointless 500 word tl;dr ramblings I’m your guy.
Notable accomplishments (Optional): Big thing is 19th place at US Nationals this year, and if you were there or saw the stream you witnessed me make brilliant plays such as getting my Venusaur Final-Gambitted by Simon’s Lucario, Thunder Waving a 45% health Lum Berry Aerodactyl with Gyarados, somehow managing to Taunt a Hydreigon and Shadow Ball an Audino on the same turn, and best of all get three free turns against Huy by Freezing him off an Ice Fang and fully paralyzing his Mawile. I swear to God that those were probably the worst games I played all day. Really.
I’ve topped the VGC Showdown Ladder at least twice, but I doubt I can trick any of you into thinking that actually matters.
Also I got 2nd at the Akron Premier Challenge, although admittedly besides bearsfan I played like two people that were even passably decent.

Tell us about yourself: I’m an avid Pokemon Doubles player who also pretty much lvoes all types of Video games. Nearly 22 years old (will be Aug 8th), I’ve been playing Pokemon pretty much my entire life. I’m pretty dedicated to doubles and like using things some people probably won’t think of. I do have a youtube channel if you want to check out my stuff. Without a link, just search Ryan Newfield and I’m pretty sure you can find me pretty easily. I’m the only truly active one with that channel name on YT.
Notable accomplishments (Optional): Nothing really. I’ve become a champion of another doubles draft league as well as a doubles Elite 4 for the entirety of a twitter elite 4 for as long as it’s been going (and it still is). I also did decently well (3rd to last xD) in a singles draft league using only doubles made Pokemon. The Pokemon I used for the singles draft league were designed specifically for various doubles teams, and I still did decently well considering my experience and team.
Meh. I just enjoy creativity and battling 😀

Tell us about yourself:
My name is Alberto, I’m 20.
The Pkmn videogames have been a lifetime hobby of mine, but I started playing competitively in 2008. I developed an interest in VGC in Late 2009, where I took part in a LOT of Smogon VGC tournaments. Because México hasn’t had official support from TPCi, my in-person experience is based on grassroots tournaments, in which I’ve been “quite” succesful. Also, I hate the word “hax”, and when Alaka doesn’t pick me in this kind of stuff.
Notable accomplishments:
-2nd place Pokemex 2009: 6vs6 Doubles, Junior Category (16 & under) (grassroot)
