Hi I guess it's my turn to do this, sorry for having delayed it this much but I'm busy with exams and shit so yeah I don't really have a lot to say about myself, I'm 19 years old and I happen to live in the country of pasta which is sometimes referred to as Italy. I got my first Pokémon game with Ruby probably some months after it came out in Europe, when I think I was 7 years old or something and all my friends were starting to play it, and I really loved it ever since. I really enjoyed playing it with my friends and we went on for some years, during which I bought Leaf Green, Emerald, Diamond and a few spinoffs (Pokemon Ranger and the first two Mystery Dungeon titles - Red Rescue Team and Explorers of Darkness which were both really cool). However at some point all my friends started getting into different and more "mature" things so between them and my parents all thinking pokemon was just a stupid game for kids and I was getting too old for that I kind of stopped playing, even though I would still secretly bring them out every now and then and play alone despite it not being as fun without any friend to battle and trade with. Since I didn't have much to do all alone I just kept raising the mons I liked the most and while doing so I started getting curious about stats/natures etc, eventually learning about evs and stuff and finding Smogon analysis which I used to copy ev spreads and movesets from (breeding for ivs in gen 4 was really painful so I never really bothered with that and just ev trained my mons regardless of their ivs, not like I was ever going to have to battle anyone with them anyway). Finally after many years ORAS became a thing and I felt like I had to buy it for how much I loved generation 3 games back then, so I just decided to buy a 3DS with Omega Ruby and started playing pokemon games again. Regarding competitive battling it took me a while to first get on a battle simulator even when I used to copy sets from Smogon. Sometime in summer 2013 I think I read about PO on some italian forums and the fact that I could battle with other people online even without the actual games really intrigued me, so I decided to give it a try. I just randomly put some pokemon with Smogon sets together and played some games every now and then, but I was really bad and mostly just used the mons I liked the most even if they were really terrible in OU (I remember for a while I've been using a team based on the PMD2 characters with sash Unburden Grovyle as late game sweeper lol). I also didn't really talk to anyone, mostly because I was shy and my english wasn't really good at the time, until few months later I discovered the italian server and made my first friends there, including Troller who used to hax me in literally every game we played. Together we started playing BW2 Ubers which was really cool and fun, eventually getting better at playing and reaching somewhat good positions on the ladder. At pretty much the same time I found the Tournaments channel and after having been observing for a while to understand how it worked (since I was too shy to ask anything) I started joining some tours, but for the first months I still remained silent and simply watched people talking in the channel until one day main server went down. Several people including those I used to see talking on Tournaments moved to the italian server for the time being due to it being second in the registry at the time, so I tried for the first time to talk to them and explain the italian server scripts and stuff. After that day I started talking a bit in the tours channel, making new friends like Draciel and Poliwrath says (rip) and at the same time trying to help new users, and finally in February 2014 I was promoted to Megauser by Celestial Phantom which was something I would have never expected when I first joined PO. So I started knowing more cool people, frequenting different PO channels and joining forum tours, and eventually I became Hangman Admin a month or so after MU and mod in September of the same year. I stopped playing Ubers when I realized XY Ubers was shit and not nearly as fun as BW2 Ubers, and things didn't get any better when ORAS came out. I just stopped building teams because I was both lazy and bad and I started playing different tiers and metagames mostly when it was needed for the tours I joined, with NU probably being the one I played the most since I ended up playing it in POWC with Team Italy twice. I was also Draciel's assman during last POCL which was a fun experience despite the final result, and I'll be a manager this year so that will be interesting I guess. I don't really have much else to say, a few months ago I was promoted to admin because they were probably so desperate for one and couldn't find anyone else and I guess that's the reason why I ended up writing this so yeah. I'm not doing shoutouts because I'm bad and I'll probably forget tons of people, so I'll just give a special thanks to all the friends I've made during these years and in particular to Strudels, Draciel, JoyFrost, Troller, Tricking and the other frens I talk to daily for making every day here enjoyable and always being there when needed. I guess that's all, feel free to ask if you want to know more even though I already know more than half of the questions will be related to pasta or pizza,,,

Funiest moment in Tohjo? Indigo? Tournaments? Rank side channels What do you think of me? How to improve more in your opinion? Expectations of PO for gen 7? Magearna or Mega Diancie? Promote/Demote auths all of them What player do you wish to come back? If PO would stop, would we still continue to play 2v2 on 3DS? Battle Royal when Sun Moon released? Grats on profile, stop eating too much pizza, you're getting too fat :I
Spoiler: JoyFrost There are many mons I really like but it would probably be Flygon, I remember the first time I saw it it was on a friend's game while I didn't have it yet so I immediately tried to get one on mine and always loved it since then. Well, if you mean for a visit there are so many cool unique places that are worth visiting so I can't really pick a favorite, I guess probably Rome for obvious reasons. If I had to choose where to live I would probably stick to the north though :x Gen 3, being the first I played and the one I spent most time on, which is also why I finally decided to buy a 3ds when ORAS came out. I generally like most subgenres of rock, I like to play/listen to different things at different times depending on several factors. Guitar (electric) Tarsier cat lol I always hated when people asked me this because I don't really have one, but um if I had to choose maybe green I guess? Pizza, guess why Playing guitar Bronzor in Diamond was the first shiny I caught in that cave under the cycling road. Before that I had found a shiny Wailmer in Ruby, but since at the time I didn't know shinies were a thing I simply ran away assuming the slightly different color was due to a glitch or something. Obviously I got really mad when a friend of mine later told me about that. I don't really know tbh, I prefer different ones at different times. If you include side metagames then Monotype, I don't really know why but I find it fun maybe because I can use the bad matchup excuse to hide the fact that I suck. As for actual tiers ORAS NU. Same as question 3/4, every place has its own unique things which makes it worth visiting so it's really hard to compare them. I don't definitely not enough I ragequit when I lost at something like 98-99, until a few years later I randomly give it another try out of boredom and finally hit 100 lol I probably still consider that as the day when I got promoted to MU since I would've never expected to become more than a random who wouldn't even talk to anyone. yes if it's india then don't indeed t true yes for people like Troller, but not for me :[ ...mhU ok I guess banning shitheads is fun at times, also it's nice when I can help new users who seem shy and unsure like I used to be, they shouldn't give up but rather ask their doubts out, start talking to people and try to get involved into things, and someday they might even accomplish something they would have never imagined. oy pls reminds you <]:v huhu tough question idrk what to answer to this oo unless it's latin I still have to make a final decision but probably Sun for now. Some of the mons they've introduced so far look cool so I'm quite confident, I just hope they won't add too much useless stuff as we already have enough. Also I hope completing the actual game will be a little more of a challenge than ORAS was. rn I'm leaning towards Rowlet but it will mostly depend on their evos how 3 count Spoiler: Hassin627 no what the fuck hell no I would rather die no no no Spoiler: AFK Vision Ward idk if this is a question but grazie amico Probably something related to coding or w/e Not really, I can't really find too much "Italian" in it anyway except the occasional "mamma mia!" I guess I find really annoying people who brag too much about themselves, if that counts. doy pls I played Mario Kart but it got boring after a while without someone to compete with, and Smash but the 3ds card got fucked after not too long and now I can't play it anymore :D no maybe someday Spoiler: ShowMeTheMankey only in relevant tours I'll get to the other questions tomorrow or something, blame doy for her long list
What's your best/favorite memory here Do you love Hassasin627 Why not What's your biggest desire here Favorite Shiny Favorite Legend Best battle ever played Best battle ever watched Favorite safari theme Best safari moment Favorite pokemon Type

It appears you've basically surrendered yourself to being asked questions about Italy, so here goes: 1. Rank the following cities/towns and give reasons for the significant ones: Bari, Venice, Messina, Sorrento, Genoa, Cagliari, Rome 2. Rank the following foods and give reasons for the significant ones: Arancini, Spaghetti alle vongole, Cannoli, Risotto, Biscotti, Gnocchi, Minestrone 3. Rank the following drinks and give reasons for the significant ones: Limoncello, Caffe Macchiato, Caffe Latte, Cappuccino, Sambuca 4. Rank the following bordering countries and give reasons for all of them: Austria, Vatican City, France, Slovenia, Switzerland, San Marino 5. What is your favourite Mega Evolution and favourite Pokemon to use in Pokemon Shuffle?
Spoiler: Joyverse no no somewhere in the north If you're talking about actual games I often like using those weak useless mons that nobody really uses, depending on which are available in the game. I guess lasagna if that counts Emerald I can't really remember but doy pls Maybe that time when I destroyed @Lacus Clyne in a gym battle after a certain bet regarding a carrot. not really Tours is cool being the only side channel related to competitive battling and it's faster and more entertaining than ladder. I guess it was nicer when we had more people and discussions about tiers and stuff were more common but oh well. Hangman and Trivia are easy to play and fun if you like that kind of games so they're nice to have as well. Mafia is kind of more complicated which is why I never really bothered playing it, but apparently it's fun if you know how to play it. Safari is somewhat fun too and it doesn't require a lot of effort either, also you can laugh at people often getting salty for shit so that's a plus I guess. y I guess not too many since fire types won't usually stay in in front of a Ludicolo. I don't really look for specific qualities in other people, I just acknowledge their qualities and form my opinion depending on them rather than the opposite so I don't really know :v Same as above, but I guess I dislike dishonesty and excessive bragging. heresy Spoiler: Elize Lutus I've had a lot of fun times on here but I can't really think of a "funniest" one, especially for tohjo. As for tours I guess the handsome herman and that awessume rider guy were quite funny, and some of Nightfall's quotes in indigo were pretty hilarious too. 1. Tours 2. Safari 3. Hangman 4. Trivia 5. Mafia I guess you're okay :x I wouldn't really know, maybe simply take LOAs instead of quitting something and getting it back a week or so later if you're still doing that lol Unless something extraordinary happens I don't think much will change on here in terms of activity. Diancie From admin to owner: Strudels From mod to admin: Fate Testarossa From user to mod: can't see anyone who deserves a promotion atm From mod to user: probably pia From admin to mod: unless jirachier counts I wouldn't demote any of the current admins From owner to admin: tough choice Probably Ramiel, I miss spamming faces made with korean characters with him 유w유 if pstan gets a better net sure why not no u Spoiler: Troller Probably still the day when I got MU, I was trying to study since I had a test the day after but I kept looking at PO on my phone, until I received a PM from Celestial Phantom out of nowhere and it happened. After that I was too hyped to resume study, eventually I fucked up the test but I was still happy so w/e can you not read If I were to list all the reasons here I would have to exceed the character limit for this question alone. I just hope my friends and people I usually talk to will stay around long enough. Flygon idk why but I really like Manaphy for some reason I remember the bo5 with marcoasd for the latest Supreme RBY Tournament semifinals as probably the most exciting games I've had, I eventually lost 3-2 but it was fun regardless. I can't think of one but probably one of those when even in the worst possible situation you would call for freezes or crits and get them like it was nothing. Object or Urban for Rotom formes, especially the cut one Probably when I got home and learned Yasuo had finally quit after fucking up with that auction, sad I couldn't be there when it happened. I don't really have something such as a favorite type, I like certain pokemon because of their design not simply because they are of a certain type or not. Spoiler: Hassin627 you better stop asking or you might have to change your name to Hassassinated627 Spoiler: JoyFrost doy pls I'LL FINISH THESE TOMORROW I PROMISE
sorry i lied but here we go Spoiler: Draciel rip black thunder 2k14 I guess anything that makes a good pizza. pizza Well I've been in too many awkward situations so I can't really pick one. I don't read that much anymore and I don't really have a favorite movie, sorry. As I've already mentioned before my tastes randomly change for no real reason, so my favorites tend to change really often lol Find a decent place to study and possibly learn something that will be actually useful unlike what I've been learning until now. As I already said I don't have a favorite place, every place has its own unique thing so yeah. There are several places I would like to visit but rip money :[ The only good thing I can think of is probably the food. Hard to find a worst when there are so many lol. Maybe the fact that everyone will make fun of you for the thousand stereotypes we have and they'll just keep throwing random italian words at you thinking they're funny or something. Talking to friends. I guess Mega Mawile, I used to have it on every XY OU team until it got banned :( Favorites: aesthetically Ludicolo, competitively Manaphy Least favorites: aesthetically Jynx, competitively Mega Sableye lol do "PO battles" even still exist? Out of the few ones who are still somewhat active on PO I would probably say Finch, Metal, Zoro, you and Troller. Blinky not really since I'm almost always online anyway When I was sort of new in tournaments I used to look up to those people I often saw winning tours like poli, bugzi and z+v. Definitely well spent, I mean I wasted a lot of time on here too but I also made many cool friends and learned a lot of things so I would do this again if I had to choose. I'm a girl very shy so probably not :x but I guess I wouldn't mind meeting any of the closest friends I have on here. Mega Sableye from OU. We will continue in this fashion as long as people who keep it alive don't quit. idk, I choked so many important battles that it's hard to mention one in particular :D doy pls Spoiler: Ascarotte 1. Rome because lots of amazing stuff 2. Venice because really cool and unique city 3. Genoa/Cagliari - I haven't visited them directly but I've been in places near both and they were both nice 5. Bari/Messina/Sorrento - never been to any of these 1. Cannoli - gr8 2. Biscotti - there are infinite types but well I eat a lot of these 3. Gnocchi 4. Spaghetti alle vongole 5. Risotto 6. Arancini - I've only eaten these like once since it's not popular here, I think it was good but I can't remember :( 7. Minestrone 1. Caffé macchiato 2. Caffé latte 3. Cappuccino 4. Sambuca 5. Limoncello 1. France - I guess it's a really nice place if you don't consider what's happening there now. 2. Switzerland/Austria/Slovenia - I haven't been in any of these for more than an hour or so of travel so yeah. Probs Switzerland best. 5. San Marino - at least it's a country 6. Vatican City - lol Favorite mega I guess Gengar, will probably become shiny Gyarados once I get enough speedups on it. As for pokemon I guess it depends on the type? Ludicolo is hard af to get so probably Lando-T since high level Risk Taker is really strong. Spoiler: Arceus_17 i swear im not Spoiler: Lacus Clyne sorry but people had to know Spoiler: Hassin627 oml finally this is the best day of my life Spoiler: MeowMix spaghetti margherita mazzuolegno Spoiler: Blitzamirin thanks but your signature makes me think there's something wrong with my screen everytime I see it so pls fix that
why's draciel bad seriously he's so bad do you plan on getting involved in tournaments on smogon? who do you look up to as a battler and why is it luck>skill? what useless thing were you currently studying? why didn't you like it? obligatory pizza question: what's your opinion on a pizza with pineapple? do you feel as strongly about it as some people?
You seem to have avoided some questions through indecision or vague answers, intentionally or not. So, let's rephrase them to actually get answers. 1. What are some of the musical acts you have been listening to recently that you have enjoyed? You couldn't answer favourite band/singer, so hopefully this gets an answer. 2. Where do / would you like to visit on holiday? You mentioned you had a few places, but couldn't pinpoint a favourite holiday destination. 3. Do you prefer playing Pokémon Shuffle on 3DS or Mobile? Regardless of which version, how far along are you on the main stages and expert stages? p.s. hi atli, u r cool
well this should have probably already been closed but nobody did so Spoiler: ZoroDark maybe because india agree maybe at some point looking up to any other italian battler would mean looking up to him anyway so Well I just finished what would be the equivalent of high school, and I didn't like it for a few reasons. My school was oriented towards scientific subjects and my course in particular had Informatics as additional subject, but they didn't give enough relevance to some of the most important subjects like english (considering the average level here is already low enough...) and informatics itself which wasn't even included in our final exams. Another thing is that some teachers are literally retarded and you will learn absolutely nothing from them, even if you try. That's probably because the way teachers are selected here is completely wrong (idk what it's like elsewhere but I hope it's not as dumb), all you have to do is pass an exam regarding your knowledge on the subject(s) you want to teach and you get approved, but if they don't test your ability to actually teach to a class (and possibly your mental health too) you will end up having situations like these. pizza with pineapple what the fuck this can't be legal Spoiler: Axily I didn't, you were one of my first friends on here but now I don't see you that often anymore :( Spoiler: Professor Oak Well as I said my tastes can change very quickly and completely randomly as soon as I listen to something different, so I'm bad at picking favorites but I'll try to do better. Right now I would probably say Guns 'n' Roses, since I've learned most of their songs now but at the same time I'm also playing/listening to random songs by many other bands like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, RHCP and well several others which would take too long to mention. This I really don't know, I only joined vacations organized by others so I never had to think where I would go if I had to choose, there's just too many places that look interesting and worth visiting. I guess maybe something that has both interesting things to see and nice places to walk or relax? But I don't really mind anything so again idk sorry :x I probably prefer playing on 3DS because I'm kind of bad at playing it with my fingers, especially in timed stages which I find significantly easier on 3ds. Also items are cheaper and Meowth doesn't spawn rocks so that's a plus though I rarely spend time grinding coins on it anyway. On 3DS I completed all main stages except Mega Scizor, I'm kind of low on coins so I'm saving them for special stages and harder S ranks since Scizor isn't really a necessary mega but I'll probably have to go through it soon since we're apparently getting a new set of main stages ending with Mega Tyranitar next week (finally!!). As for S ranks I currently have about 300, and I've caught every expert stage mon until that except Gliscor and Porygon-Z which I'm planning to do shortly. On mobile I'm still stuck at Mega Medicham and I need to unlock Genesect but I'm even poorer there due to items being more expensive, so since I can't be bothered grinding on Meowth excluding sunday events I'll just stick to special stages until I have a decent amount of coins to spend. btw if you play it on mobile too you should tell me your friend code so we can get more free hearts!! hi oak u2
