European Hawaii Trips through rankings

[Black_jirachi]

Michel: Most of the "good players" didn't come to Paris because it was expensive.
I sure wanted to go, but I had the money issue. If someone else was paying for my tourneys, I would have played ALL tournaments in both Sweden and Norway this year, in addition to big things like European Challenge

But, I'm mostly paying, so this year it has been

MOST tournaments in Norway
The 2 STPs in Sweden. And that was what I had for this year

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

2 Invites to France
2 Invites to Belgium
2 Invites to Norway
4 Invites to Denmark
6 Invites to Finland


conclusion => best players are not the ones that got the invites.

where is NL (best pokemon-european country) ??????????????

this is so unfunny that is funny again!!!!

LOL!

great job to all the winners of the trips!

you played the rules very well. (and we stay at home playing the game )


it woulb great to know how many of the players with trip have a TO parent

Man, I hate the ignorance in this post

The players from Norway are highly qualified(The have no TO parents either :biggrin: )
Also, man, when did Netherlands become best Pokemon country in Europe?
Norway has bigger tourneys
Finland has bigger tourneys

Heck, we even had third biggest nats of the year, only beaten by super pokemon coutries USA and Mexico(YEs US nats will be bigger than Norway )

We get more players to worlds than you. Deal with it Gatsu. please

Some sidenote on the TO parents info:
Yes, many worlds-invitees have parents who are TO's and Pokemon Coordinators.
Having parents in that position makes you better, just because you can travel more and get better opponents and more training and skills

BTW: None of the invitees from Norway have TO parents :grin:

A bit OT but.......are Americans hiding Rankings results now? I can't see the ranking page at the moment....

We wouldn't do that Andrea.

What are you talking about Marstio-dude?

I deleted my post since Nopoke asked me to wait for POP's decision! :thumb:

I clearly showed that i'm not afraid to tell things cause, differently from many others, BAN (from organized play) does not scare me and i can tell things as they clearly are!!! :thumb:

I post what i want when i want (according to forum's rules).

Yup, i have to get a new job since i find hard to pay for trips.....
But i pay for trips since i'm not good enough to have them for FREE for one of the following reasons:

1) i'm not good at pokemon enough to gain a trip like Arco.
2) i'm not good enought to gain a trip throu ranking like Adrien.
3) i live in a country with real competition and honest people (PHERAPS you have too, but none will ever knows it since foreign players are not allowed in Finland)
4) i don't have a pet monkey organizing 1204273938 BRs per week in the backyeard of my house.
5) i have no parents asking and persuading my opponents to concede
6) i have no parents manipulating tournaments for me

Good points. And another one would be your TO doesn't cheat.

... and other things some people said in the last posts ...

Sure the system is not perfect, and I may understand your frustration for not beeing qualified, but please remain correct and respect the players, TO's and people involved in the game.
Finland has not happened everywhere in Europe.
If you may prove that things have been done uncorrectly, please say them. Otherwise, please stop with accusations and allusions.

Sigh, another indication in the wake of many of the defeat of the sotg at the hands of the rating invites.

Why don't I feel this urge to get back into this game?

1) i'm not good at pokemon enough to gain a trip like Arco.

Dude,we know that allready. And u never going to be like Arco, who is the most über player ever.

2) i'm not good enought to gain a trip throu ranking like Adrien.

Why do u have repeat yourself?

3) i live in a country with real competition and honest people (PHERAPS you have too, but none will ever knows it since foreign players are not allowed in Finland)

Lets get this straight, once and for all. We had only closed BR tournaments and that was not my decision.
One player with her family wanted to come our last States, they told me that like only few days before when all pre-registered seats was allready taken and i have not change to promise their seats to that tournament. And since we had policy, where we had reserved seats to local players also, situation was complicated and way out from my hands. IF they would have sent email like 2 or 3 weeks before, situation would be totaly diffrent.

4) i don't have a pet monkey organizing 1204273938 BRs per week in the backyeard of my house.

Do u have pet monkeys usualy organizing your tournaments ? Thats awesome dude.:lol:

5) i have no parents asking and persuading my opponents to concede

U better start to talk with your parents about new contract :thumb:

6) i have no parents manipulating tournaments for me

I suggest you to get some therapy, because it seems that u have a lot of issues with your parents. That a shame.:tongue:
