If you want to talk with me, get your teams rated, or you want a replay reviewed, you can contact me on Smogon (username Pinkacross), on Discord (tag: "pinkacross"), or by my gmail [email protected]. You can also message me if you see me online on Pokemon Showdown, I'm always either on my Pinkacross account or Pinkacross Alt.

Thank you to SDK04 for playing against me for that example game! The game was a setup to demonstrate the idea of midgrounds, and not an actual game.
