Honestly, seeing this place still kicking itself back up makes a part of me happy.

I love ASB, and this forum has been my one and only experience with the platform. It's a really strange way to battle, almost seems tedious at times, and battles taking weeks to complete might seem stupid, but at the end of the day I can look back on it and say "This is fun, and I'm glad I did this. This is pretty fun."

The amount of creativity required by both the players AND the referees to keep these battles going is breathtaking, and reading through a battle is like reading a light novel, or manga, especially if it's well-done. Coming up with combinations for everything, from the stages, the moves, the abilities, and of course the pokemon, is fun in and of itself.

Yeah, ASB takes time, effort, and some creativity. To me, though, it's worth it, to see great moments well-worth the buildup.

On that note, I wanna see this revival succeed so we can have more great moments!
