@CarlosPero I was changing my daughter’s diaper right at 7pm, so unfortunately I couldn’t be on right on the dot. I wish there was a queue instead of infinite F5, but it’s okay though, I’m looking forward to making wave 2 (please Arceus 🙏)

Yeah, we can imagine other ways to allocate expiring registrations. That may change eventually. There was enough supply to accommodate everyone who registered right when it opened, though. Don't give up yet, there is opportunity for future waves to open up 2 weeks and 6 weeks from now.

I almost forgot my favorite part of the Pokemon TCG. Sitting at my computer for thirty minutes clicking F5 thousands of times just to miss registration anyway. I’ll see everyone next season 😭

Gino finding out that deleting a text doesn’t delete it for the other person

@PokemonTCGP Who is that cute Asian guy? 😘

Hey, wait a minute…🫵🏼

@gearhartpkmn @xanderpero @MichaelPramawat @kazambolt @cschemanske @NickCRobinson Unfortunately, this was on a private forum, so I can't share it with you. Is there a particular archetype that you're interested in? We basically tested every major archetype after new sets, and I can dig up some stuff. Feel free to DM me on Messenger to continue this convo!

@samstoise @xanderpero @MichaelPramawat @kazambolt @cschemanske @NickCRobinson If they're all on public forums I can dig through myself too if you can point me in the right direction.

The coolest part about preparing for this class is digging up things like this...

@gearhartpkmn @xanderpero @MichaelPramawat @kazambolt @cschemanske @NickCRobinson Also @gearhartpkmn, I have decklists saved from every single tournament I played from that era. I just need to dig it up in the forum. Let me know if you need anything else. You should be warned that not every list I played was good lol.

If by some miracle anyone has decklists saved from this, or other tournaments you performed well at in the following season or two, please let me know! 🙂 @xanderpero @MichaelPramawat @kazambolt @cschemanske @samstoise @NickCRobinson

@gearhartpkmn @xanderpero @MichaelPramawat @kazambolt @cschemanske @NickCRobinson I had talked with Jason a bit about the list, and I also found this tidbit in the forum. This is what Jason would've changed from my list to fit +2 Tool Scrapper. (The Tool Scrapper is for Garbotoxin, which saw a rise in popularity because I had won the Regional without it.)

@gearhartpkmn @xanderpero @MichaelPramawat @kazambolt @cschemanske @NickCRobinson If you want a *better* list, this is the list I won the 2013-4 Philadelphia Regionals with about 2 months later. 🏆 The meta had recently shifted, and I took a gamble that I would dodge Garbotoxin decks. Fun fact: Jimmy O'Brien also T8 the event using Blastoise without Scrapper.

It has been a long wait, but... Betty and I are on episode 6 of Trainer Tour! 😃 We had a great time and played some Pokemon, so please check it out on @PrimeVideo. Shoutout to @enjoifriend and @Strawburry17 for being amazing hosts. See everyone at Worlds in 2 weeks! #PlayPokemon

Made day 2 at EUIC with this cute orange dinosaur 🦖 This gives me enough points to qualify for Worlds! 615/600, see everyone in Honolulu 🏝️

@Fast05Girl It was great meeting you as well!

Went to a local Pokemon Tournament to support my Husband while he played and met @samstoise! Was the nicest guy ever!! #PokemonTCG

I made day 2 at the World Championships after finishing 6-1 with Mew! 🏆 I’m so excited to be competing and representing the US (and Taiwan) in tomorrow’s main event. Wish me luck! 🇺🇸🇹🇼

@tfarrow111 @KSabelhaus @enjoifriend @BurtsPTCG It was a pleasure to take this photo! Hope to see you around at other events!

Got to meet some incredible people too! @KSabelhaus @samstoise @enjoifriend @BurtsPTCG we’re all incredible and so kind to spend time talking to me and even giving me advice which was really helpful!

@tablemon @nk0hli @LakeOfRagepod Greninja players were excluded from the list 🐸

@nk0hli @LakeOfRagepod @samstoise Not surprised bad friend Sam Chen mentioned a bunch of top players attended Mexico City SPE and despite staying at my house for almost a week, he didn't list me as a top player 🤣😂

I'm jealous of y'all You get to listen to this AMAZING new episode with @samstoise with fresh ears We discuss: 🟣Why the game is Pay2Win at the highest level 🟣Why organized play is so seemingly incompetent 🟣If/when things will improve for players Links below⬇️

@Raymond29802671 @thefleeee @RegannatorTCG @BokhariJustin @Jonner909 It’s still available at the Pokémon Center store. pokemoncenter.com/product/701-29…

@samstoise @thefleeee @RegannatorTCG @BokhariJustin @Jonner909 Where can you get that plush?

9th place at Oceania Internationals with @thefleeee’s exact list! Shoutout also to @RegannatorTCG for beating the crap out of me in testing to force me back to Regis. Australia was amazing as always and I can’t wait to be back. Oh, and I got my Worlds invite! 530/500 CP 🇦🇺🦘🌏

@daviddaritan @thefleeee @RegannatorTCG @BokhariJustin @Jonner909 Same. It was great to meet you as well!

@samstoise @thefleeee @RegannatorTCG @BokhariJustin @Jonner909 Nice meeting you. Great deck decision on the three belt.

@NicholasMoffit2 @thefleeee @RegannatorTCG @BokhariJustin @Jonner909 Oh crap. I actually found out on Thursday, but I mindlessly typed 500 lol

@samstoise @thefleeee @RegannatorTCG @BokhariJustin @Jonner909 Sam you know its only 350 now

@azulgg @RegannatorTCG 🥛🥛🥛

@samstoise @RegannatorTCG Perfect this is playing out just like NAIC y’all do the grinding I go get a drink

Giving my @azulgg cosplay another go to crush @RegannatorTCG in OCIC finals prep. I can’t believe I’m missing the Australia casino party to play *more* Pokémon with this ungrateful child. 😡
