I saw this buried deep in a Worlds report, and couldn't help trying to bring this to light. This is what Spirit of the game means, THIS is how sportsmanship is supposed to be!
I quote from Matash's Top 32 WORLDS report
Round 4 vs Drew Holton from U.S.A (with PLOX)
I go first and start with Sabyele. I attack Baltoy for 10 and disable.
Drew rare candies to Gallade and attaches DRE, but it's on the bench, so that gives me a little time.. he plays Wager, I end up losing the wager, and he proceeds to get a couple prizes with Gallade, and KO's random basic Pokemon (including a Sableye that I tried to stall with)
I end up getting Toxicroak and use Paralyze Poisen on Gallade, but fail on Parlysis.
he Psychic Cuts Toxicroak for the OHKO. I send up Scizor and KO him back.
he sends up a random basic pokemon. He Celio's for Gardy LV X and evolves his Kirlia into a Gardy LV X. and I was like "huh?" and he looks all depressed and stuff and is like "woah.. I thought that was Gallade... that's what I meant to get. i guess i'm stuck with this?" I was like, dude.. i'm not gonna win on a misplay, grab your Gallade."
so he got it, and we returned to our close game.
eventually, I start coming back in prizes, rotating out Scizors, and saving the Toxicroaks for the big threats.
Drew had a lot of counters to my Cess's and Beach (Windstorm, Stadiums, Warp Point)
so my power locking didn't effect him all too much.
at one point in the game, I have an active Toxicroak, and a Crougunk on the bench. I evolve the Gunk on the bench to a Toxicroak.
Drew's like "hmm.. wait a sec.. didn't you just play the Crougunk this turn?"
i was like "dang.... ya know I'm actually not sure if i did or not lol" and neither of us could really remember if I dropped it this turn, or last turn. (that's what 3 hours of sleep does to me)
so just to be on the safe side i was like "eh.. no worries dude. I'll save it till next turn.."
Everyone could learn something from this. Sometimes I feel this game is becoming to much like MTG, the above is an example of how this SHOULD be played.
He made a mistake. NOTHING on the feild of play changed NOTHING, his opponent has more honor then most people I know by letting him take his obvious misplay back.
You Sir should be commended!:thumb:
