Came across this on reddit, thought I'd share with you good people. Pretty funny read if you've got a minute or two for some off season fluff.
So which Pokemon are we?
"Virginia Tech: Tough defense, solid ground game, blue collar program. Graveler, a Pokemon that attacks by being a rock rolling down a hill. It's also a Pokemon that could appreciate Metallica."
I'd say that's about right, your thoughts?
Here's the article for the rest of the teams.

Thank God we never got to that level
Not true, Kakuna can learn poison sting.
EDIT: Also, LOL at Kansas
FURTHER EDIT: I'm slightly impressed that they only pulled from outside the original 150 once (they used Hoothoot for someone)
Pokemon after 150 don't exist to me.
Well...maybe mew...mew two? Are they in the original 150?
Mewtwo clocks in precisely at #150.
I consider Mew to be an original since it first showed in the original series buuuut it's official pokedex number is 151 sooooo.....kinda?
Granted, I'm not really one to talk.
Truth.
I can vouche for this
Oklahoma: Nidoking. Strong stats, with a powerful ground attack. Called the Drill Pokemon, a fine fit for oil country.
Oklahoma State: Baby Oklahoma. Nidorino, a Pokemon that evolves into Nidoking
Amongst my favorites from the list.
I would have preferred Golem, but Graveler will do.
Some of these are absolutely hilarious.
My Favorites:
Miami: Mew. Allegedly super powerful, but only exists on the Internet.
Kansas: Wario. Not a Pokemon, but really good at a completely different game.
I'm not a huge Pokemon fan but this is a cool list that clearly took time to assemble.
But I was a big player of Super Smash Bros on GameCube and you know who I always played with?
Mewtwo.
You know who Mewtwo is on this list?
Alabama.
Damn right son. What.
you really struck me as a Rapidash
I was more of a Toon Link guy, myself.
Mr Game and Watch was my dude.
Looks like you just made yourself an enemy. You'll have to find a Jigglypuff to take your place to distract me from your horrible, horrible character.
I will fry silhouetted bacon all over your head. I had a friend play as the ice climbers and I hated those guys you couldn't knock them both off at the same time.
My friend loved marth, which was always a challenge but pretty evenly split. my other friend was jigglypuff and he was really, really, really good at using him. he would destroy me regularly, which resulted in many rage quits
Ah yes the rage quit good ole trump card. Ganon was good to use once you got used to his slowness.
Of the slow characters i hated using bowser but for some reason i won more with him than donkey kong or ganon.
Unlike mario kart battle mode, where i was always koopa troopa when racing but usually won handily with donkey kong somehow.
The problem with the big guys is if you got knocked off more than a character away you were done.
Bowser and DK had little helicopter style things that could save you. Ganon was a little tougher but he did have that mid air half jump
True, but I died a lot more with those guys than anybody.
Kirby was the worst, you had to send that mfer into orbit to knock him out.
Jiggly was my favorite from the original smash (N64) mostly because everyone assumed she sucked. Poor guy got mauled in any sort of brawl, but if you survived down to one on one you could basically guarantee a win with any of 5 different combos all ending with falling asleep as the other guy went screaming off into the distance.
I always hated the Octopus of Death that he would become. Totally absorbed the entire map.
64 Smash > Cube Smash.
Jiggly, Ness, and Luigi. Jiggily is unstoppable if you know how to play her
I thought this response we reserved for something else.... I can't remember what. /s

is there a problem

Virginia: Smart school, usually decent on defense, will occasionally knock off a top team, but zzzz, I'm already tired of talking about Virginia. Drowzee, a Pokemon that literally eats dreams.
Like the dreams of Thoroughbreds ever beating VT?
Rutgers: Clearly, a Game Boy. Without it, none of this would be possible, but it's pretty useless all by itself.
Kansas: Wario. Not a Pokemon, but really good at a completely different game.
My favorites
I chuckled
I LOLed
they even have the same fore-head "Butt" shape
I didn't even know there were 129 Pokemon....things?
Get with the program! There are 721 Pokemon!
My teenage years just heaved their final breath.
Don't believe the hype. There are only 150 pokemon!
*151
I knew it was somewhere around there. It's been a while
By Baccardi. Also known as CubaLibre Stiff.
My favorite:
Texas A&M: This is easy. Alakazam. Fast, hip, mysterious, great attacks, but unable to take a punch. And has to be
transferredtraded away to reach its full potential.I never knew anything about Pokemon, but I have an 8 year old expert in my house. Her favorite on the list:
Holy Shnikes. The pure density of dorkdom expressed here - from OP to this very moment - is utterly staggering.
And very reassuring. #thisishome
This obviously means something to Pokemon fans.
But having read Virginia Tech's description, I have a feeling they'll need a new one next year.
