Wow bearsfan is joining the blog bandwagon. Now there's another useless blogspot URL that nobody is ever gonna check out.
I think a good question is "why are you doing this?" The main reason is I always have a lot of stuff to write about. The problem is I have a lot of crap that doesn't really belong at Nugget Bridge or Eggy Emporium due to disorganization or general controversy. The stuff that is up to quality will stay at Nugget Bridge, but that means I get to stick the hidden gems here.
Moving forward, I got a few not-so-secret plans to execute. Worlds is in a month, and as you probably know, I don't have a Worlds invite. This means I have the unenviable task of doing the LCQ.
COOL VIDEO PROJECT FOLLOWS
Unfortunately, I kinda think 2014 is a crappy metagame (another post for another day), so I'm gonna have some fun with this and do something that I think no one has done before. I'm gonna create a new weekly video series for the next month called the "Build-a-Bearsfan Team Workshop" where I'm going to collaborate with viewers on Youtube, blog readers, and my Twitter followers to create a (serious) team for Worlds LCQ. I'll document the process along the way and make a video each week discussing my journey. It's a weekly vlog that pretty much documents a team being built and taken to competition. I will make EVERY aspect of the team public on a weekly basis. You will know what Pokemon I have, their movesets, even their EVs.
As you can probably guess, secrecy isn't exactly emphasized in this project. There are two reasons for this. I really don't enjoy the 2014 metagame after tolerating it for almost 9 months now. Secondly, I want to see how big of a role secrecy plays in Pokemon. This is partially in response to honchkro13's article on Nugget Bridge, but I emphasize that this is not an attack on his article. This is a way to see if the old paradigm of hiding teams is really the way to go.
So it's July 14th, and I have about a month to get this rolling. I will release a video every Wednesday (starting July 16th) detailing different stages. Video schedule should look roughly like:
July 16 - Intro
July 23 - Documenting the teambuilding aspect, with the help of the community
July 30 - Documenting the team testing, plus any team tweaks
August 6 - Continued tweaking
August 13 - A send off video before Worlds
August 20 - Damage assessment post-Worlds, complete with Worlds footage
If you want to take part in the action, there are a few ways you can keep up with the project:
1. Follow this blog (bearsfan092.blogspot.com). I'll be checking the comments for project participation
2. Follow me on Twitter. Great way of communicating with me in the project.
3. Sub to me on Youtube at bearsfan092. I don't check my messages there, but I will be checking the comments.
4. PM me on Nugget Bridge.
5. Catch me on IRC. I'm always on #nuggetbridge at the irc.synirc.net server.
Super excited for this project, since it marks me stepping up my Youtube game. I've been sitting on the equipment and software to make this happen, and it's finally time.
