My vast and supreme will shall be done!
k I'll just shed some light on my issues with the officiating. During my match I was pretty much in control but my Snorlax was dying to Abomasnow and Slowbro and probably had 2 more turns in him. My opponent had a Abomasnow, Slowbro, a 1 HP Par'd Weavile, and a mystery Pokemon, I had about 75% Uxie, a dying Lax, and a reserve Shiftry. This turn I have to kill Abomasnow or Slowbro so he can bring out his reserve and Lax can Explode.
This is what I planned happening:
Turn 1
Uxie move
Aboma move
Lax Fire Punch Abomasnow, Aboma faints
Slowbro move
Switch in mystery or Weavile
Turn 2
Uxie Protect or move based on what he switches in
Lax Protect or Self Destruct based on what he switches in
Turn 3 or 4
Shiftry Explodes to end the game
What really happened:
Uxie move
Aboma move
Lax Fire Punch Abomasnow, Aboma lives with 1 HP
Slowbro move
Lax dies the next turn, and leaves Shiftry to get killed the turn after that.
I thought to myself there is no way Aboma can live through that attack and I question an official who pretty much brushes me away. I spoke with Mysteryman who was helping out and he told one of the higher officials and I had a quick word with him but again he brushed me off and they continued into the next round, so had my opponent hacked it was now too late to sub me back in. I was frustrated and just left the area and did the damage calculation, it turns out Aboma can live with some heavy EV investment but I was still angry at the officials for not even trying to check his Pokemon prior to the next round. Before the Top 4 were set to battle I was eating a sandwich and the official I spoke with earlier found me and told me that my opponent was fine and had no hacks, after the fact, when I had 0 chance to get my spot back had he hacked.
I was under the impression that they were going to be very strict with hack checks and check prior to the tournament, but from what I heard they didn't even check until the Top 8, so essentially someone could've hacked their way to the Top 8 and then switch to a normal cart.
I'm disappointed that I lost to something like a 1 HP Abomasnow and I can't do anything about it now so I won't dwell on it, I still had fun meeting everyone and getting autographs from Junichi Masuda and Tsunekazu Ishihara (who had an awesome Kakuna 151 shirt, which is on the 151 website now). Probably no warstory but I'll put up all the pictures I have soon.
