Ultra Take! On A New Format!

Image
Hello everyone and welcome back. My name is Ryan B Hebert, and today I'll be doing my Regional Forecast for Daytona Regionals 2019. Ultra Series is officially here and players have been lapping up the luxury of finally participating in a format that many have waited for all season. If you've been one of those individuals, your time is now, but, also, you have much to catch up on. A small note for our Primal Groudon users attending Daytona Regionals: Beware Hidden Power Water Ultra Necrozma in Ultra Series Looking back at Sun and Moon Series in VGC 19, we've learned the potential of a few restricted Pokémon not previously known to us. First, we have Necrozma. Not just any old Necrozma, but Necrozma-Dusk Mane and Necrozma-Dawn Wings. The first being a Steel/Psychic type, and the latter being a Ghost/Psychic type.

How We Doin? Welcome back to my blog! My name is Ryan B. Hebert, I go by Ryan, and it's a pleasure to have you reading today. From returning readers to new ones, welcome! I'll be writing about a whole assortment of topics today, that have to do with my entire year. Get ready, cause a here we go! [Just a small note before we do get started ;  I had planned several posts throughout this year, and none of them made it too far past some rough drafts. However, I feel that now is a time to write something because I feel I'm in a place to do such a thing. I want to thank everyone who was reading and keeping up with me. I was reaching 250-300 views per post. I'm grateful for your time and energy to read what I post. Thank you. ] Where  to begin. I left you all in suspense with my show, Waiting For Godot, happening in early March. It was a success and was the experience of a lifetime. I loved my cast, and I didn't even know what this opportunity would bring me the fo...
