Well, that was a crappy move on his part. That flushed his victory right down the toilet.

Okay, that was unexpected. I would have expected "was caught cheating" or something, but throwing crud like monkeys?

Why on earth did they even do that, that's all I wonder.

Play! Pokémon's manager, David Schwimmer

Wait, what? Is there any other David Schwimmer other than... The One with the Dinosaurs?

Edit: Nevermind, read his post on Smogon. Fixed the error, it is "Dave" actually.

Trom.... this story is 26 days early.

Wait it's real!? Oh my...

kids these day -.-

Really? well, serves the punk right.

Kids, don't throw your own shit in the hallway, or it might come back to screw you over later.

In the words of the great Ron Simmons: .........DAMN!!!

Brings a whole new meaning to the moves Stealth Rock and Mud Shot...
No, but really.. I just can't believe it. When I first saw the article's title, I naturally thought hacking/cheating, etc. But that kind of behavior in a tournament? I'm just as crass as the next Pokemon player - but throwing your own excrement? No. Just no.

Holy shit. I knew something smelled funny about this whole thing. Now all their work getting this far just went down the toilet. This article better not be full of crap.

Wow, I remember reading @Joshawott's write-up where he talked about seeing that in the hallway.... I had no idea that it would actually lead to the disqualification of a Pokémon champion. People really need to get some maturity.

Well I can't bayleaf this shit. What was the actual thoughtproces that went into this.

Wow humans starting to act like Ambipoms

Man what the heck. ._. That's just...unbelievable.
