Ben’s hot takes on Pokemon starters (author’s note: I was strangely okay with his top handful but the placements of Empoleon, Blastoise, and Typhlosion were criminal) were only the beginning. Four of the Nintendo Switch owners on the staff came together to battle each other in a Pokemon tournament to crown the completely meaningless title of staff Pokemon champion.
Leading up to the tournament, each of the four competitors built up teams, and earlier this week the players came together to play it all out. And seeing how there’s no formal gameday today, this can be something of a stand-in.
