I was a real nerdge who used to play Pokémon competitively, and I'd hopefully incorporate some of that knowledge into my strategy to dominate in the POKESHL. All the stuff filthy casuals neglect like IVs, EVs, natures, movesets are crucial and I'd take advantage of some people not being pro gamers and knowing their way round these concepts. Catching my friends, GMs, teammates etc. and battling with them would be cool - I would love and treasure Simon forever if he was one of my Pokémon - but realistically I'd probably be a bit more of a tryhard and try and build an effective, balanced team with good synergy. My goal would be to be the strongest trainer possible, and while I'd almost definitely fall short my POKESHL career would surely be a lot more successful than my SHL career. I'd have to breed my mons for better IVs, though, and breeding SHL members together is a very uncomfortable idea. (160 words)

If I could swap bodies with any player competing in this season's SHL finals, it'd be Lime's player: Steve "The Hair" Harrington. I'd like to think that during the game I'd play like him, cutting inside from the left wing, scoring goals, assisting my teammates, winking at the enamoured women sitting in the front row - you know, typical Steve Harrington stuff. It'd be incredibly poor form of me to try and throw the game in order to help a particular team win, and I have friends on both teams so I have no reason to do that. The only question is whether Jay Sink in Steve Harrington's body could perform the role effectively. As an SMJHL send down, Sink only has 425 applied TPE and isn't used to a body so quick and agile, that handles and distributes the puck so well. It's possible, then, that I'd accidentally help the other team win. If that did happen, though, at least every lady in the crowd would be queueing up to help cheer Steve up. (174 words)

As you'll know, the SMJHL playoffs are best of 7. As the underdog needs to win four less-than-fifty-percent matchups, this makes upsets relatively unlikely. Because of this, I think we can relatively safely allow every SMJHL team to make the playoffs. If the format was best of 1, or best of 3, I'd disagree because I think it'd be dumb for a team that had accumulated a huge regular season win total to be eliminated after one game. But it's quite difficult to lose a playoff series to a weaker team at the moment, especially if that team is significantly weaker. As a result, I think we could continue to allow every SMJHL team to make the playoffs without there being any big negatives, and the rookies can enjoy playing in the playoffs. (133 words)

Now I don't know Luke well enough to know where he's from IRL, but as his player has played in Vancouver, San Francisco and Manhattan I imagine he's not seen all the delights that the United Kingdom has to offer. And, as someone from across the pond, he probably has a romanticised view of our little island. I'd fly him out to London, business class, with a bottle of champagne on ice to get him all loose before the date. Once there, in a move that'd flatter any visitor, I'd take him for dinner and drinks in the Sky Garden, and get him as drunk as he likes. I'm far too classy to suggest what might happen later that evening.
