Competitive Pokemans and Team Multiple Scoregasm

I've not really detailed it on here yet but I'm very into video games and media. My problem is that when I really, really like something I become very fixated on that thing and I don't let go till I've mastered it. A skill I've yet to harness for my own good. The last few topics I've gotten obsessive over are Dark Souls, Doctor Who, and more recently Pokemon X.  I don't know what draws me to all of them aside from the obvious but I think the common theme, possibly barring Dark Souls is a simple enough outer layer with near infinite levels of depth beneath it. Which, when put that was explains Dark Souls perfectly, come to think on it. There are so many thing about each that I love and I could go into so much detail about all of them but for now let's focus on Pokemon X.
It seems  so silly when I'm writing about Pokemon, but I don't think I'm alone in saying that it's been 23 years and I'm still so invested in the franchise. I don't care what new designs come out or how the games are, I love Pokemon and I think I probably always will. Still there has never been a game that has caught my interest quite like X. My previous favorite game in the series and runner up currently was Pokemon Platinum. Platinum was the first game I tried out breeding in and I loved the mechanic but didn't understand any of the underlying stat mechanics. Fast- forward to now and Gamefreak has made breeding, easier than ever, giving everyone a chance to raise a tournament level monster with the balanced amount of effort.
That's the key for most games, and this probably applies to Dark Souls for me as well. The effort you put into the game is equal to the satisfaction you get out of it.
Here are my two latest time investments:

It's a standard physical sweeper set. I named it after the gruesome looking angel that follows Heather around in Silent Hill 3. Given Absol's Pokedex entries it seemed pretty appropriate.

As Prankster is my absolute favorite ability, making this Whimsicott has been something I've been looking forward to for awhile.  All the more exciting when I hatched a shiny one! The IV's are only superior level but hey, I'm not gonna pass up a chance to show this guy off. I named him Mandragora after the mythical poisonous plant.

Currently I'm also working on a pretty mean Dusclops set I thought up after seeing one on a Shofu video so I'll post that one when it's done too.

On the topic of games my friends and I just drafted the first set of athletes for our Fantasy Olympic teams. I've never done any kind of fantasy sports team and with the small exception of the Portland Timbers soccer team I don't really keep up with sports but I know my friends are the same way so we did a little research and picked our team names and our best guesses on who would take home the most medals.

I went with the Team name "Multiple Scoregasms" and here's my roster:

Sweden Men's Hockey Team
Sweden Women's Curling
Lizzy Yarnold
Katie Uhlaender
Yuzuru Hanyu
Daisuke Takahashi
Erin Hamlin
Natalie Geisenberger
James Woods
2 Man Jamacan Bobsled Team

I'm super happy about landing Geisenburger the German Luge contender. Apparently she's a favorite for the Gold! The last two, James Woods and Cool Runnings were chosen simply because they sounded hilarious. Although I hope they both win.
