Hi everyone!
Thanks for coming to the tournament social on Friday, and congrats to Josh for winning!

As you may have heard me briefly mention at the end of the social, this coming week we'll be having an additional social on Wednesday, as we're (finally) having our collab social with ducksoc!!!! We'll be getting together to paint some pokemon themed rubber ducks using resources kindly provided by ducksoc.

The social will be during their usual Wednesday social slot, from 2pm-4pm in Uni Central in the Students Union.
We hope to see you there!!!

Hi everyone!

Hope you're all well. A few announcements before we part ways for the holidays (sniffle, sniffle...). I won't miss you or anything..!!

Firstly, big thank you to Alex for running through the AGM with everyone. I hope everyone is having fun with their campaigns!

After the AGM, we will be hosting a gym leader tournament on Pokémon Showdown! We're letting you know now so that you have plenty of time to build a team. It can be monotype **or** based on a certain theme (eg. a 'space' team with Minior, Clefable, Lunatone etc). All we ask is to limit yourself to one gimmick (mega, z-move, gmax or tera), and to not use any Pokémon, moves or items banned in NatDex OU. The format will be National Dex Singles. Hope to see you there, and looking forward to seeing everyone's teams!

Hey everyone! On Sunday we will be doing a treasure hunt at the botanical gardens. We will be meeting at the underpass in front of the UoS Students' Union at 2pm and walking down to the gardens.

This is a Give It A Go social so if you could buy a free ticket that would be a big help. https://su.sheffield.ac.uk/events/id/11845-giag-pokemon-go-treasure-hunt/13210

If you can, please join the discord and react to the announcement over there so we can get an idea of numbers!

Hey Everyone!

Welcome (or welcome back) to Sheffield! It's our freshers week, which means we are SOOOOOO BACK!!!! We've got a lot planned for the coming year, from socials here in Sheffield to trips farther afield, and we can't wait to share more with you. For now, let's put some dates on the board.

Firstly, we're going to be at the Freshers Fair on this Thursday. We're going to be at stand 182, so come and say hi! It'll be good to see everyone, old or new :)

Secondly, this Friday and Sunday we will have our first socials of the year. We'll be running a casual Random Battles Tournament on this Friday (details on our poster!!) and this Sunday we will be doing a Pokémon Go walk around Campus. We have tickets live for those now, and we'd appreciate it if you got one. They're free, it just helps us to know how many people are coming.

Finally, we will be running a week-long poll in ⁠polls to decide who the society's favourite starter trio is from across the games! Please go and represent your favourites!!

There'll be more details that we can talk about by our first social, but for now that's it from me. See you all soon!!

If you've got any questions, join the discord!!
