Thank you for being a Pokemon TCG KZfaqr that's focus on the actual game of Pokémon TCG and not just the collectability of it or how much money they make. Definitely getting a sub from me

@joxicide8959 5 ай бұрын

Pre release events are a really great starting point, I just started playin 6 months ago and my first tourney event was a paradox build and battle and it was really fun, decks were still really diverse too. Now im trying to go every week or other week when I can and players are really fun and helpful.

very good timing! been practicing a lot on ptcgl for the past few months and i plan to start competing in-person once rotation hits, so this is super helpful! thanks!

Thanks so much for posting this video. I've been playing a lot on ptcgl and i've decided to give competitions a try. i unfortunately won't be able to go to anything until april due to work constraints, but it gives me a lot of time to research, prepare, save money, and plan this out. this info was super helpful. thanks again. ✌😎

Do you double sleeve your Pokémon centre Japan sleeves with outer sleeves or are they good enough not to? I’m worried the art will scratch or fade on mine.

i've gotten into the tcg when i started collecting last year and i'd want to compete but where i'm from there's no shops that sell cards or any tournaments that run, and its pretty expensive to fly as you've stated, any help or tips on what to do?

Gonna participate in the regionals tournament in Dortmund in a couple of days with my son. It's his/ our very first time. My son was recommended to participate in a local store so that's an entire new experience for us all. Are there any different rules/ match set ups regarding kids? Or is it the same as with adults regarding breaks number of games you have to play in a row, etc.?

How long does a season go and when does it start? In april with the rotation or when is the best time to start collecting points?

@SneakerTalkTCG 3 ай бұрын

New season starts the day of the world championships and season ends after NAIC. Rotation happens about halfway into the season. There is no best time to collect points really. just depends on your city and personal situations

So say i am going to a pre release and i forget my dice do they give out spares and can i use clear ultra pro sleeves for my cards for cards

@SneakerTalkTCG 5 ай бұрын

Stores usually have more than enough dice to share or your opponent will share dice with you, clear sleeves are a big no-no but pre-release they might let you since all cards are in theory coming straight from the pack. But clear sleeves should never really be used for gameplay

Also, a video I personally think would be cool to see, is a “what I bring with me to a Pokemon Tournament” and you break down what’s in your bag when you go to Pokemon events. Just a thought!🫡
