If you get a message from an account that looks like us telling you you've won a prize, please ignore it and report the comment for spam. I'm trying to keep up with them, but it's time-consuming, and I may miss some. If we ever do any kind of contest, it will be clearly outlined in a video.

@20:26 theres some controversy with the 15+ top 8 Marcus Abreu vs William Lieu first round match up, Marcus Faced and beat William by deck out during the qualying rounds and other notable players like Scott gearherd pointed out that during the play in first round he played a lass, and he didnt play that during his match against marcus. Top 8 had deck list BUT the qualifying rounds did not.

Your videos remind me of summoning salts when he first started our before he got big and it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if you reach that level. Idk anything about the TCG outside of your videos but they are so good that they got me interested

I remember this era fondly. I was a little over 7 when this set hit, playing at my LGS with decks me and my dad made, until he got fed up with me ruining the decks with me slotting in whatever dark pokemon looked cool. Taking 2nd at a local tournament and winning a couple gym heroes starter decks is probably still my competitive peak lol. I don't play many games competitively anymore, and when I do, it's mostly in fighting games nowadays. Thanks for making these, really takes me back to some good days.

This is something about the Pokemon TCG I never knew about and it probably my favorite thing in general when card games/video games do this. A competition series to earn an invite for a tournament on a Cruise Ship is such a cool idea. That would get me hyped as an adult, I can only imagine how cool it was for the kids back then.

9:13 I just want to highlight one line from the rules flyer. "We suggest that you use your own Pokemon trading card game deck of 60 cards. If you don't have a deck with you, we'll *loan* you one." THAT is a sentence you'd never see at most modern TCG tournaments. I've been to some local game stores that have rental decks for weekly tournaments, but a professional sanctioned event? That is WILD- and an interesting way to get new players into the game.

As a child growing up in a family with modest means, winning that trip sold to my family the world that opened up to me by supporting this hobby of mine. I owe my lifelong passion for Pokemon and all the places and people it has connected me to around the globe to this event. It was fun having a chance to relive this.

It is strange that Creatures didn't allow Wizards to use bans or a restricted list, considering Japanese tournaments had already been using both approaches with a banlist for juniors and a restricted list for seniors (one restricted card per deck), alongside a 15 pokémon minimum for junior decks and a 20 trainer maximum for seniors. Eventually Japan would move to the more extensive point based "Hall of Fame" restricted list in 2001 tournaments.

@danielpayne1597 Ай бұрын
The music is such a joyful bop, accentuating the soothing voiceover explanation of a TCG era lost to time. My friends and I loved Nightly Garbage Run and Here Comes Team Rocket! I don't know if it was a "house rule," but we never dealt with the headache of Rocket Sneak Attack playing amongst friends. Maybe we simply didn't have many copies, or we thought the concept of destroying an opponent's hand was lame. Too bad so many of the Rocket evolved mons were rubbish.

yo I remember this, I lived in PR and my cousin was in the US, he told me about this and I was hyped to go only to find out that my local mall had nothing to do with this. We were just a bunch of kids and teens who would meet at the card shop in the mall and had independent tournaments for packs. My cousin obviously didn't make it either. He tried to lie about it though. I miss those times.

What I really appreciate of the GBC games is that you don't need to buy or source the decks physically to play and that the CPU handles the card behaviour and therefore a "judge" or third party isn't needed to abide to the rules. It's just a pretty cool way to learn the basics of the TCG and I love it. Best regards!

This is the kind of thing I love to watch. I have over 50 classic decks that I have built and play with, just as an extension to my personal collection. It's so hard to find people to play.

Yeah. Rocket set was the beginning of a mini dark age for pokemon right as it was starting out. Though it seems like this happens in a lot of card games where control tools get out of hand early on and then are brought back in line later.

You're not wrong. I wonder why that is. 🤔

Your deck showcase visuals are perfect, looking forward to the next one, you’ve cracked the formula here

I dunno if it's nostalgia or actual merit, but I love the arts on Goop Gas Attack and Nightly Garbage Run

I just wanna say thank you! Thanks for the great work. You explaining it very well and it is easy to understand why which card(s) was good. Even for me - a non Pokemon tcg player. You put a lot of effort into it and i realy appreciate! Keep it going :)

These are some of my favorite videos on all of youtube. You are insanely good. Thank you for having the same random insane passion about an obscure niche group that I do 😂
