‘Love Is Blind’ star Milton isn’t the Pokémon Master he claims to be

A star from the popular Netflix reality series Love Is Blind has revealed he’s a big deal in the Pokémon competitive ladder, but on closer inspection, he’s a little far off the rank of Pokémon Trainee let alone a Master.
In season five, episode six of the reality dating sim, there was a very brief conversation about competitive Pokémon between Milton Johnson, his new fiancée Lydia Gonzalez, and his roommate Josh. Johnson told Gonzalez he’s “nationally ranked” in Pokémon Showdown, the popular unofficial battle simulator where competitive players can build their teams, practice different formats, or participate in random battles. He also claimed he and his roommate were “both up there in ranking.”
