Greetings NDFL hopefuls, I hope this message reaches you in great spirits. Pokerich Clique will not be hosting traditional tryouts as of today through a discussion among our board of directors. However, dont be discouraged, if you can DM on Discord (sealoo) and successfully pitch a product to me (must be Scarlet Violet National Dex related), you can potentially skyrocket up our big board. We will also review potential résumés, direct these to sealoo on Discord and we will thoroughly examine your accolades then make an informed decision if we desire for you to join PRC. Thank you for reading.
Will you answer the call?
—Sincerely, Pokerich Paul.

Towers of Regigigas 
Regigigas' are out so it's euology time. Across my months of management, things were rarely ever too personal for me to call out, but I think I enjoyed this lineup very, very much.
Origin
In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Stark Mountain, their souls blistered by the fires of Heatran and tainted beyond ascension, their Slow Start chose a path of perpetual torment. In their ravenous hatred they found no peace; and with boiling blood they scoured the snowy depths of Coronet, seeking vengeance against the creation trio who had wronged them. They bore the Maw of Dragons, and those that tasted the bite of their Transistor named them... the Towers of Regigigas.
And with that, the National Dex Farm League made its soon-to-be call into battle known, followed only by the shimmering sears of resentment left within the colonies defining them, and taken at the behest of Arishem and Velcroc, the long and lost. Their foray into the battles ahead were only to be described with the following.
Reckoning
Tempered by the Salts of Garg, the iron will of the Regis remained steadfast in proving their return as indefinite, every mark against the hard surfaces, every win to root out the weak within. These were the very doings of the Towers of Regigigas, the symbol of an unchained predator that one only puts down, but never kills. Across beginning and end, from Buzzwole to Espathra, their hunt remained known with barbarous proficiency, for they were towers pointed towards the ascensions of heavens, bridging the divide as none but mere mortal had before.
In the end - the final matchup against the Cliques ended with silence, a silence that transcended the very essence of what people once saw within the lineup of old, the few names of which engraved below...
Shoutouts
Velcroc - It just wouldn’t be the same if I didn’t mention you as the first going into everything. As an OG Regi, you and I had a lot coming in the weeks passing by, and we stood through all of it together, shared through our tough times, and worked around the various odds stacked towards us to the very end. Needless to say, our time teaming is to be known extensively by what you’ve done and set the stage for.
Fragments - Da goat, your tactical prowess and insight going into games went far beyond all of us, with your intuitivity as an OU mainstay being no less incomprehensible. Knew there was something to be said coming into the mainland, the effects of which could only be described as above and beyond with your 5-0 and nothing else.
Mada - As Madara once said, everywhere you look in the world, there will always be shadows to be found as well. Your record does nothing to detract from your enlightenment, be the one to enlighten the rest with your skills down this great path you’ve chosen.
2020 idm boomer - Thanks for everything you brought into this teamtour chief officer
Concept Everything - You were put into some very sticky matchups my guy, but your headspace and ultimate defiance against em showed me the very concept of everything in Ubers, much inspiration given from me and the rest of us.
Slash Death - Sorry things went out the way they did for you man. Between you and me, and everything we did together, you absolutely deserved better going into all those games, and more than the amalgamation of mispronunciations of your smog name during draft from a certain somebody, this I won't say.
Chris Chien Pao - I personally (and still) hate everything Chien Pao stands for in most formats, including UU’s representation (
) of it, but what I DO like is what it symbolizes within you and you only. Your tenacity in the RU slot gives me great hopes for future showings down the road, I certainly hope more people recognize you for that.FadedCharm - Appreciate everything you stand for within the mainland, between your unorthodox preps, insight into the different types of the format, and standings against the toughest of personal matchups for a Monotype setting, it was delightful to watch your techs unfold as it was eventful to see succeed in games.
Penter - I didn’t know very much about expectations going into the Doubles slot, until that changed once you stepped in, and did it for us versus the big names. Those who doubted the bracket are each of those below us today, they were no doubt wrong.
JeoZ - 2 games played, 2 hands on deck from me personally. I hope you had a good time in the cord regardless and with better showings to follow in future tournaments.
Giyu - It sucks you didn't get to partake this time around, but your support in the Mono slot was more than we could ask for and everything you did counts, take my praise here as a sign of honour and truth, you’ve earned it just as much as the rest of us.
Lupla anique - The draft was only to be occupied by so many, but regardless, your inputs within your vicinity, and banter in setting the stages for some of our best is not to be dismissed. Thanks for your time aboard, even if it was a lesser one.
Conclusion
The Towers of Regigigas stand with utmost stride and dignity in the writing of this very eulogy today. Yes, we had bigger decks stacked against us in more ways than one, but the things we've endured, when our enemies next expect us to strike, we continue to move forward knowing what needs to be done. As for the Pokerich Clique; sealoo and seth, you and your team persist to be a worthy adversary, I personally continue to wonder when and where we will meet again. Rest assured, I offer my full blessing to the other teams playing - best of luck to you all, and hope the very best wins.
Regigigas, as a now foreseen icon, may the afterburn of your Slow Start never dry, and may you never be seen with peculiar plight ever again.

Re: thoughts and shoutouts
After the draft, I really loved our roster and thought we could take it all. With some unfortunate moments down the stretch, we ended last sadly. In an alternate universe, we could easily be in these playoffs but it wasn’t meant to be. However, this team was absolutely incredible and I think anyone present in the chats would agree. Everyone had a great mentality, kept things fun and enjoyable, and sure as hell wanted to win. Despite our placement, I would draft all of you over again if I could, so I thank you for making my easy job as a manager easier.
seth we had the same vision throughout, thanks for managing with me. Appreciate it as always my friend. Go Clique forever :venu
Yes or no my dude When the NDFL was confirmed, my mind immediately went to you as a PRC cornerstone. You are an outright phenomenal player and will continue to do great things if given the chance. Also a good friend, rep GCN
Nashrock 2/2 teams managed, 2/2 times CashGod has been on both. You are a very skilled NDOUer and you deserve a spot in NDWC/NDPL for the future king. Thank you for all your lines in the chat and gl with the CashGod cup, bring home a tour in 2024
seroo your enthusiasm even in a tour of this magnitude says a lot abt who you are, no reason for you to be unpicked in future tours. Had some tragic games but youll continue to do great things if you keep at it
Danbear02 you are rly underrated man, throughout our UU slot woes I was very adamant you should stay in, and you proved it with your 2 wins down the stretch. Pick this guy for ndpl if you need cheap UU wins, cant say enough good thing
Peum king peum, im glad you defeated bossaru. Tragic your wifi disappeared so you couldnt finish positive. gl in future and I hope to see you in ndwc again
bruised thank you for ur enthusiasm and mono support. Very skilled ow2 player asw!!! For sure….definitely. Ndm room mod next
roxie you shoulda went 3-0, ur clearly a very skilled player and i wish you luck in ur Future tours. Maybe consider Bleakwind Storm tho
Frixel AIRedzone you doubles players r fiends, super active and Were very enthusiastic. Frixel, you are cracked out. Redzone, the results havent been there as of late but with your unwavering commitment theyll come eventually. Keep it at kings, id love to team down the line
Vkhss Exotic64 the CG OU into ND Ubers pipeline is real. Good luck with that funky tier, both of you are very skilled but ndubers isnt a real tier so its ok
Aso I think everyone collectively agreeing “who?” after you were picked is indicative of just how underrated you are. Your only game being a destruction of an ND Circuit quarterfinalist is telling and I rly wish you couldve started permanently. You are super talented and need recognition, highly recommend
Tempo di anguria unfort 2 games you had, but Im still confident in your ability looking at your NDWC & SSNL performances. Keep at it!
K302 only one game which Im sorry about, but you have expertise in both ss and sv, we just had a stacked lu for ou.Good luck man and I hope your first ndtt was solid
tf im surprised you havent been considered for many ndtts before, your performance in solo tours has been consistent for a while now. With ryuji leaving nd, hopefully you are on team France for ndwc in their new era. :baguette. :r8: :croissant:
peap style.css db Scarfire EatFoods Iceberg77 Mamoo Sulo thank you all for your help in any capacity, always appreciated. Hope to see some of you in future tours again (ndwc style? :eyes:)
