We will be hosting Pokémon sessions once a month on Saturday (this may be subject to change depending on demand). We will run small, friendly tournaments primarily on the online battle simulator “Pokémon Showdown” which features a wide range of battle formats to choose from, the main ones we will focus on are: Random Singles and Doubles, Little cup, Monotype, Metronome etc. (this may again be subject to change depending on demand).
We aim to be as welcoming and supportive as possible, so if you have any worries about accessibility or are just feeling nervous about getting involved get in contact with us via our social media/email and we’ll do our best to help! In the past we have met people in a familiar spot on campus to walk to the session together, or we have met outside the Rolle building, or just outside the room so you don’t have to walk in alone. We can make sure you’re able to get involved by saying hi, having a chat and teaching you how to play some of our favourite games! If that's not your vibe, and you just want to solo grind some Zelda or Mario Kart time trials that's also completely fine!
Snacks and drinks are welcome, being mindful that some of our members have allergies, as long as everything is left clean and tidy, and help reorganising the room after the session is very welcome, we hope to see you there!
The best way to get in contact with us is our Instagram or the discord (DM a committee member), but you can also message our Email and Facebook if needed.
If you join the Discord please fill out the Google Form in #member-verification and comment “done” in the channel so we can add the role for you.
