[Textfont]

Name: Textfont
Relevant Social Media: TextFont on Twitter and Discord
Formats played: VGC 2011-2023
Bio: still playing VGC15 forever in my heart

ok but seriously: represented Team SEA in VGC World Cup from 2017 onwards for the older formats (was part of the winning team back in 2017 and yes I was playing VGC15 all the way to the victory and continued to play it many years after), was ranked at Worlds for 2013 and 2015, qualified in 2018 too but that's my most hated format. I do better with formats that are longer so the newer formats are not my idea of a good time. I just really love 2015 and will jump at any chance to play Mega Kangaskhan Talonflame Brave Bird again. Most recent accomplishment is Top 8 SG Nats 2023 but really that's not saying much tl;dr: I just really want to play VGC15 again

[BackpackerRaden]

Name: Raden
Relevant Social Media: @backpackerraden on Twitter and Discord (in process of changing it here as well)
Formats played (please state the actual format names): 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018(partial, mostly pre-Incin), Sword/Shield S2-12, SV Reg A, B, D
Bio: I have followed VGC loosely since late 2014 and playing since 2015. I mostly started playing on the Pokemon Amino VGC community with players who've gone on to have success in NA and AUS circuits. During that time I played on various draft leagues and premier-league-esque tournaments. I took a break during the USUM cycle to focus on school, but returned with the release of Sword and Shield.
I have a love of retro formats, and have wanted a greater retro-VGC scene similar to what the TCG has. At one point I wanted to start a larger community on retro-VGC but didn't because of various life circumstances taking priority.
I love chronicling VGC history, and used to write about VGC on Amino. My works there are quite dated though.
My favourite and most comfortable formats are 2015 and 2013 (and SV Regulation B.) I also am fond of 2016, 2018 and 2017 (when it's not a Celesteela war). I would prefer not to play 2019 or the SWSH formats, but I realize the older formats are often more desirable.
