Nation of Atlantis

[InnocentSerenity]

Three long months, huh... Sad to see that it's actually over. Thank you, teammates. May we meet again, maybe even against each other.

Guess the pressure of the ocean was too much for them.
Great job atlantis on winning pokenations! Everyone underestimated you guys but you always pulled through, and have grown since week 3. Nice job!

Despite my only contribution being losing that one match and picking the theme song, I'm still super proud of Atlantis kicking everyone's collective asses from week 3 onward.

Crustacean Sensations for life.

I'm so incredibly proud of everyone here!

We pulled it together after three weeks of disappointment and ended up on top. We never could have done it without the hard work everyone put into each battle they did.

So to everyone who is/ was part of Atlantis nice work!

I think we all need to take a moment to thank our glorious leader Xiri for his fantastic work for us as well. We'd be nowhere without him and we made the right call by electing him for sure!

Thanks for making the nations experience so rewarding and fun!

mah bois, this victory is what all true warriors strive for.

in all seriousness, im really happy. when we were 0-3, I dont think anyone ever dared to think we would end up where we are now. but we did.

thank you, everyone who helped to build teams. thank you, everyone who made mock teams to test against. thank you, everyone who kept the morale high. thank you, everyone who battled in the name of atlantis.

and thank you, xiri. youve done a great job as a leader, boi. im glad to have had you with us.

and now its suddenly done, and there rests me only one thing to do.

super mario 64 peach voice thank you all!

[Ironbound]

Felicitabulations and clapplaudolades to you of your wonderbulastous victory! 'Twas a good run, and you of all nations have pulled a great return.

though you probably owed your victory in part to the absence of the Magnet Lord on our rosters

[Dragon God Goomy]

We did it bois! OCEAN WINS!

2 more battles need to happen before Season 2 of Pokenations officially comes to a close, but since our victory is already secured, I would like to take this opportunity to make a detailed appreciation post to all of you (and you may also find that I'm terrible at making these sort of posts but oh well). The order is in alphabetical order:

99 Losses - I'll be honest. I was a little bit afraid of you at the beginning (all AO members do frighten me slightly in the beginning for some strange reason) but boy, you are one cool person to talk to! You are also an extremely good battler, and while I wasn't able to have practice sessions for the final week, I immensely enjoyed having mock battles with you in the past weeks. Congratulations and thank you for securing the final victory, and good luck on your future endeavors!

Bibs - Oh look, its an Alomomola. Joking aside, I was super glad that you were part of Atlantis, and was also glad that I got to talk to you more during this period. You are an extremely friendly person, and you did show some impressive battling skills too (never forget the Focus Punch Slowbro). I also enjoyed having those Ace Attorney chats with you too xD. But really, thanks for being so supportive to the team. I really appreciated it. #bibs2k16

Cowtao - My Seoul soulmate (kinda)! When you were put into Atlantis mid-way through Nations, I was really glad since you seemed to be a really cool person and a decent battler. Although it was only for a few weeks, I definitely enjoyed your presence, and thank you for continuously supporting us until the end even though you had to leave. I hope work is treating you well these days!

Cyanna - I can confidently say you have improved drastically over the course of Nations. Because our timezones clashed, I wasn't able to assist you with practice very much personally but I heard from the others that you were extremely dedicated and your performance clearly proved that. Thank you for always having a positive attitude and it was a pleasure working with you!

Dero - You only got to participate in one battle (and I apologize!), and I wish I could have slotted you in for more battles, but thank you for continuously supporting us. I'm pretty sure the others also missed your humor during your absence, and I really appreciated the hype/vibe you delivered in the beginning to all of us. Keep up the good work with your Reborn/Rejuvenation nuzlocke (I guess rip Snakewood)!

Frar - What can I say. You are a brilliant person. You showed full support in testing, evaluating teams, cheering for others etc - so I can't thank you enough for being such a good sport and coach. Congratulations on having a perfect record too. It was really great to work alongside you again after Redemption, and hopefully we can meet again in future Reborn competitive events. Thanks for everything, buddy.

Inno - Our official cheerleader/name rater/patronizer! When I first saw the team roster, I was extremely glad to see your name there since you always seem to have a friendly attitude (which is what all nations need right?). You were always supportive of others, and I can probably proudly say (with a bit of exaggeration) that your positive attitude gave most of us a lot of motivation at the end of Week 3 so that we can bounce back from our losses. It was lovely to have you on the team!

K_H - I apologize for not slotting you in to the roster as much, but nevertheless thank you for supporting the rest of us until the end of Nations. It's a shame you weren't part of the Skype group since we could have talked a bit more there. I wish you all the best for the future!

Krim - Ah, my fellow Glaceon fan. You are definitely another battler whom I think improved a lot during this period of time. We did have to endure a lot of frustration during test battles (Honchkrow cough cough), but in the end, you brought home a lot of victories - and I'm proud of you for that. It was really nice getting to know you, and I hope you enjoyed this experience as much as I have. Thanks.

Lugruf - I was quite surprised to see that you thought it was an honor for you to learn from me... but really, you are an extremely good battler yourself! I had tons of fun helping you out with practice sessions and such, and I'll miss your baby Absol picture xD. Congratulations to you also for having a perfect record (so far!) and I hope we meet again in future Reborn events.

mde - Pray to Dedenne and your Scizor shall be blessed with crits. I was delighted to find out I'll be in the same team as you again mde. You are a very friendly and awesome person to talk to, and sometimes I could feel you were more mature than myself despite our age difference xD. You performed really well in battles too and I hope you feel that you have improved a lot during this event because I surely think that way! And thanks for your kind words above. I really appreciate it.

Personthing - Another person who I want to applaud for being such a helpful member to our team. You seriously deserve a medal, my friend. Offering practice sessions and advice nearly 24/7 is NOT an easy thing to do, and I'm sure everyone appreciated your assistance. Although part of me kinda dislikes you for creating such evil mock-teams, on a personal level - I'm glad that I made another close friend in Reborn. I'll miss our hours-long practice sessions too. Thanks a bunch, man.

Rude - Perhaps you were the good-luck charm for the team? You joined us in Week 4, and thats when we did start winning after all xD. While we didn't really talk too much 1:1, you seem like a really chilled person and I would love to get to know you more. You didn't battle much either, but your enthusiastic support was really appreciated - and I'm sure others feel the same way. Thanks a lot!

Sini - I was sad when you suddenly announced your departure. You might have felt 'unneeded' but really please don't think that way. Even though you may think your battling ability is not so great as others, you did offer other enjoyable conversations to the group, and that is something to thank you for. Thanks for also supporting us until the end. Best wishes for your future.

Sonic - GOTTA GO FAST. My man, you've been extremely supportive and enthusiastic throughout this journey - cheering others on in the sidelines and offering encouragement to other battlers - not to mention that you are one hot battler yourself! I was glad that I got to know you better and hope we can meet again in the future. Dominate the football season too for me please. Oh, and we all know that Wacan Azu is the best Azu xD

Tizara - Heh heh... you won't kill me now since we won right? xD Anyway, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the small bit of drama that was caused between us. I would also like to say thank you for supporting us in the final week. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Vince - Everyone loves Vince xD. We do pick on you a lot (of course in a joking fashion) and tease you a lot too, but always remember that you are a valuable member to Atlantis. Your victory in Week 9 will definitely be in my Top 3 moments of Nations and I hope you feel proud of that victory. It was nice to hear that you enjoyed Nations and learnt a lot, so keep up the good work buddy.

Zero - Last but not least, our hype-man Zero. Unfortunately, you weren't able to battle at all but you were always ready to cheer for others, and offer encouragement. Thank you for fully supporting the rest of us, and I wish you all the best for your future.

It was a pleasure being the Leader of Atlantis. Thank you to all of you for trusting me and being such awesome people to work with. Seriously, all of you put in work so that we could be where we are today - and I express my utmost gratitude for that. I really hope everyone enjoyed this event as much as I did, and our Skype group will still be active, so we can still stay in talk there from time to time.

Congratulations and let us now celebrate!
