You can tell BKC is a boomer because he uses hjk instead of cc on shao

It's a difference in goals. Hjk with reckless is so much more damage than cc Regen.

[@braedenwinstead1984]

​@@kona7043 the extra power from HJK actually rarely makes a difference in KOs since cc is already strong enough to 2hit ko most neutral targets with investment and non banded HJK isn't strong enough to 2hit ko invested resisted targets

[@togakhan1274]

I kinda felt nostalgic on seeing BKC play gen 9. You know we joke about old gen players being dropped in gen 9 and they would be surprised by everything that's changed. Bkc is the living embodiment of that. Also I was sad to see that bkc, the guy who would spend hours designing EV spreads for his teams, didn't bother to even set Tera for all his guys. You can see how little bkc enjoys gen 9.

[@zowwycafe]

idk if you know but breloom had a VERY serious niche in AG during the last couple months before home (i peaked rank 2 with it and im pretty sure it was used in a couple ag tours) because without defensive arceus and ho-oh , sash/life orb breloom would sd and tera fighting sweep once a team was chipped into range and flutter mane removed if they have it (+2 252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Tera Fighting Breloom Mach Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Koraidon: 333-393 (97.6 - 115.2%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO) kinda like ekiller but it was also a stall breaker because there wasnt sleep clause so you'd sleep everything and could break past pex and force dondozo to tera. miraidon's terrain wasnt that big an issue because they would just be giving you a free sd and you could just sweep right there on the spot.

No BKC! You were the chosen one! You were meant to destroy the switch-era gens, not join them! Oh well, I suppose Tera is less cringe than GiantMcLargeHugeMaxxing. Still, it should have been removed from competitive, at the very least only 1 Poke should be able to Tera, and it should require an item like a mega-stone but for said type and you shouldn't gain anything besides access to TB if you Tera to the same type. Gen 8 was *"what if Pokemon but big",* Gen 9 is *"what if Pokemon but PA-POW fireworks, VROOM flashy colours, WOAH!"* - "won't the type-switching break the game though?" - "of course it will, but will that won't affect sales... tell me, do you value your job?"

@@BKCplaysPokemon oh cool, I was wandering it because, as an italian who's not into films at all, I know ciociaria as the name of the region (in which I guess the film take place) and I just discovered it's the title of a De Sica's film. So I was initially very confused about how and why such a niche name was used in this context. The screenwriter of those 3 films (and many many other De Sica's directed films), Cesare Zavattini, is one of my favorite italian intellectuals of the second half the '900 though. Unfortunately the only film he ever directed, which is basically it's intellectual testament, has never been translated in english. I've seen the Children are watching us, which is their first collaboration, and I can highly recommend it.
