I went to a tournament in Hachinohe Japan shortly before Platinum was supposed to come out there. The matches were single elimination all pick matches. I breezed through the waves of Japanese children and Man-children, but the second match I had was the best one. A kid had a team of six Pikachu, lead by a shiny Pikachu. My lead was Ninjask, and I doubleteamed/swords danced/baton'd to my Tyranitar. EQ Overkilled all of the little rats.
Then he started bawling. Called me a "baka gaijin" and ran off, presumable to kill himself for failing so horribly.
Lost to an Arceus in the Semis though. Cheap ass Uber picker.
