GUIDELINES

For obvious reasons, every person who has ever played VGC cannot have a page. In order to post a page about a certain player we take into account the following guidelines.

Players

  • D2 invite to some Pokémon World Championship or obtaining D2 battling since D1.
  • Finishing among the best 16 players in an International Championship.
  • Finishing among the best 8 players in a Regional, National or Special Event.
  • Finishing among the 32 best players in Regional, National, Special Events or International Championship twice.

Other causes that may determine the presence of a certain player who:

  • Is/was part of a website or organization that has heavily influenced the competitive VGC scene.
  • Heavily influenced the development of a metagame.
  • Is an active content creator for Youtube or Twitch and creates media focused primarily on VGC.
