Let the 2018 PPC Pokémon Tournament... BEGIN! by

As always, once a challenge date has been set, you have one week to respond (and counterpropose a better time to battle if need be); if there is no response, you will be considered disqualified and your challenger declared the victor.
May the odds be ever in your—wait, hang on, that's... not quite right, is it?
Good luck, everyone, and have fun!

I enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you. That's the kind of battle I'll quite happily lose everyday, the ones where you but all your energy into it, not because you want to be the best, but because you want to have as much fun in it as possible.

I mainly use the email that's clickable for PPC things now. I should be free today at 8:30pm my time, however in your email you say BST is 3 hours ahead of you, but BST is 5 hours ahead of EST. (I'm still free at 10:30pm my time as well so it doesn't really make a difference).

Because I've been here almost an hour at the moment. I am BST at the moment, so assuming you are East Coast, you should be 5 hours behind me (and so it should be almost 6:30pm for you). If you're not actually 5 hours behind me I apologise for not showing, but as this is it's the second time we've missed each other. Please also let me know if you're going to be on as a name other than EPL (like I'm Ihavenoinsurance on Showdown). I'm really looking forward to this battle so I hope we can sort this out.

Anyway, you can see how seriously I'm taking this. ^_^ [EvilAI]UberOverlord, I challenge you! I'm, er... pretty much around from ~8pm until ~10pm UK time most days, though I may be able to wiggle that one way or the other, depending. So if you propose a day and time around that, I'll see what I can do.

Either at the earlier part of that or the end part. I'll know more Saturday morning Eastern Time, when exactly I am available. But I suspect 8:00 your time is best for me.

Let's see... in theory I can probably shuffle the day around to be present at any time during Saturday afternoon(UK)/morning(Eastern). Or any time before... quarter past 8 or so in my evening, so if you want 7pm / 2pm Eastern, I should be free.
(Of course now I need to decide which of my team I'm bringing along...)

It's my own stupid fault, though - I built my team for singles combat and couldn't be bothered to change it up for a doubles tournament. Oh well. My team got bodied by Trick Room pretty hard anyway, which, well, I knew that was a thing but I didn't expect it. =]
