I should have added, "I'm not sure if I should be distraught or disappointed."

Why is the Dodge symbol a demon?
This is what America has come to. Next thing you know we'll be outsourcing jobs to Hell itself. Dodge vehicles will start carrying labels that sound like a battle from Vietnam: "Made in Hell with American parts".

Team Rocket is actually the worst written of the Pokemon mafias, although GameFreak gets a bit of leeway since they're not super great on story anyway, and TR was largely the experimental mafia group.
"Pokemon for Profit" is one of the worst, intangible rationale for pursuing evil. If anything, it's just a shallow, low-hanging fruit of a reason. How can you profit off Pokemon? It isn't clear at all from TR's actions in-story: 1. The run a gaming casino (NO POKEMON NEEDED) 2. They hold up Silph Co. to steal the Masterball (NO POKEMON NEEDED) 3. They're after rare Pokemon (TECHNICALLY NO POKEMON NEEDED). You don't need Pokemon to rig a casino. You don't need Pokemon to raid a corporate headquarters - use guns! But I was thinking. You know I do a lot of this. I saw Pokemon Generations Episode 3 and then I read hentai after that. I know exactly how Team Rocket could use "Pokemon for Profit". Set up a Pokemon Brothel. ... I mean it makes total sense. EXHentai has taught me that there's a lot of crazies out there. Heck I would totally nail Gardevoir. So, you are Team Rocket. You sell time with your Pokemon, and make profit from it. Pokemon being captured by trainers are obligated to follow their trainer's will, so now there is an incentive to steal/assume ownership of the Pokemons. There's an incentive to capture rare Pokemon now because the customers want exotic, especially the ones who can transform like Mew, Ditto. There's also an incentive to catch new Pokemon (virgins). If the Pokemon get pregnant, don't abort! Sell the eggs to Pokemon Breeders or to the local PokeMart. PokeMarts love fresh eggs! Originally I was going to say that "only humanoid female Pokemon" and the transformers, who could become actual human females, but I know there are furries out there who want a piece of Vulpix. So everything goes. Even Onix. I'd have the building in Saffron City and call it Rocket 5 (Go).

Somebody took Harambe memes and decided to try their hand at re-writing Eminem's "Lose Yourself".

The Game Corner gives away rare Pokemon as prizes.
So you're earning stolen goods every time you play there ;)

If that were true, the prize Pokemon would have an OT, but the Player's name becomes their first trainer.

There are very few people on this earth who I actually hate.
I absolutely undoubtedly hate Verlisify with a burning passion.

Verlis's two biggest offenses relevant to VGC are:
My personal biggest beef with Verlisify is how much bad advice he dishes out on his channel. Normally this wouldn't matter -- "free market", yeah yeah, "the wheat will be sorted from the chaff in due time." But the problem is that Verlis has amassed a cult following amongst what I like to think of as "baby Heathers", people who generally:

Unpopular is an understatement. In the VGC Showdown chat, his very name is a banned phrase.
He's been throwing shit at the VGC community for years now. I've not the time to go into great detail but yeah. |

Yeah, he's sort of a meme for all his incredible sets that he recommends. The go-to one tends to be Assault Vest Blissey.
... Like come on man.

To be perfectly fair to the guy, you could say that I am not being fair to write the post that I wrote when I haven't even watched his videos. (Though I have witnessed some of his tweets and portions of his videos in other YouTubers' videos.) There's something to be said for hearing both sides of a story, giving someone the benefit of the doubt, etc. But from what I've passively soaked up over the past 2˝ years, my impression of the situation is that the VGC community has given this guy numerous second chances and he's spat in their face every time. What I've seen of his tweets hardly endears me to him either. I think he will go away in due time. It's becoming easier than ever for players to become "PokéTubers." While that same ease of entry is what permitted him access to the stage in the first place, it'll also be what's responsible for his departure. As more and more world-caliber players take to YouTube to share their advice and war stories, children will have less and less reason to watch Verlisify. I already see it happening: while I haven't watched his channel in months, Aaron Zheng's channel in the months leading up to Worlds 2016 was constantly filled with comments from ex-Verlisify subscribers. Time and again, these kids would explain how they used to subscribe to Verlis, came to realize that he was a bad person who also provides poor advice, discovered Aaron's channel by way of indirect connection, and subscribed to Aaron because holy shit a world-class player who not only gives good advice but routinely puts that advice on display for all to witness. The situation is greatly helped by the fact that, of all the people Verlis could have possibly gone after, he had to go after the one person who went on to become that year's world champion. Way to go.

My beef with him was how he basically saw how lots of people didn't like Smogon, so he used starting shit with Smogon and basically screaming out against the site in order to get popular. I don't have a source and don't remember where he said it, but unless my memory is horribly wrong, he at some point said that he would rather be a Minecraft Youtuber, and the only reason he started as a Pokemon one and continued with it was because it was easy. The other thing that makes me hate him is how he claims to be gods gift to competitive Pokemon, yet he's absolutely abysmal at it, and his sets show it. If he just made videos about neat, fun sets, I wouldn't have a problem. But instead, he swears by their legitimacy and basically says that if you aren't using his shit, then you're doing it wrong. His whole war on "cheaters" in VGC is only icing on the cake.
Edit: Oh, and he's also one of the most prolific and obvious users of clickbait on Youtube.

I love the videos where he claims to have found "new" strategies that have existed for a long time prior
