PokeDad & Lad

@ChiseledSloth See you there kiddo!

See everyone at worlds 🫡

Happy Birthday @spud010713! Hope you have an ace day today! Here's a selection of photos you didnt approve of before I posted! 😀 ❤️

@MatsonPokemon @OwynKamerman @JonnyHowellss Thank you! Same to you and Mati! All the kids have done so well this season!

@ByteMe84 @OwynKamerman @JonnyHowellss Congrats again. Amazing season. It was so much fun to follow how great Isaac has been all year!

Bring on Worlds!! Super proud of the lad for doing so well in his first season in seniors! 7th in the UK, 17th Europe and 56th in the world. Big thank you to @OwynKamerman for the coaching and @JonnyHowellss for all the practicing!

@pokedec14 @pokemomandgirls @DanielPowell836 @Thunderlove8 Lol, it never is!

@ByteMe84 @pokemomandgirls @DanielPowell836 @Thunderlove8 It has been an amazing season and it's not over yet!!

@DanielPowell836 needs money for a new hair cut! Buy his spare spectator pass! DM him for details!

@LynnOono Congrats to Annabelle shes a lovely kid and a great player. Genuinely horrible to hear folk booing a kid. People need to give their heads a shake. TPCI need to do more to protect players, especially kids.

Seeing Annabelle make it to the finals two years in a row is something I never dreamed would become reality. I was hopeful, of course; just like every Pokémon trainer and every parent. Losing in the finals is something we can accept, especially against an exceptional player like Luke. Our kids have experienced their share of losses, and that’s part of competition. What I never expected and what truly broke my heart was hearing people boo her simply for playing the game. Annabelle didn’t hear/see the negative part of the crowd during her match today, and for that I’m grateful. But hearing it myself has left me questioning whether competitive Pokémon is a healthy environment for her. What hurts most is that many of the people rooting against her today are people we’ve celebrated alongside. We’ve sung happy birthday to their children, given gifts, congratulated them after great performances, and cheered them on through Regional top cuts and World Championship runs. I completely understand supporting your favorite player. What I struggle to understand is making another child feel unwelcome and ashamed simply for competing. My daughter has one of the kindest hearts I know. No one could honestly say she has ever intentionally hurt anyone. She approaches this game with sportsmanship, always doing her best while treating others with kindness. She started playing Pokémon because Jeff showed her how incredible both the game and the community could be. Annabelle is full of joy, compassion, and a carefree spirit, and I’ve always wanted to protect those qualities for as long as possible. Today was an extraordinary accomplishment and I could not be prouder. She stood on one of the biggest stages in Pokémon, competed with grace, and represented herself exactly as she always has with heart, respect, and courage. Mommy is so proud. I love you, Annabelle.

@DanielPowell836 Great result bud! Hopefully catch up properly when youre back over here!

@WilliamCha70014 @JesperKEriksen Well done bud, smashed it! Well happy for you!

top 8 Turin (8-1-3) hammer was pretty much a blank card this weekend. thanks to @JesperKEriksen for the coaching for this event.

@MatsonPokemon @pokemomandgirls @LynnOono @Pokemum2boys @pokedec14 @DragonShield_ Well done!!

Mati with a top8 finish playing GarchompEx! Switched to this on wednesday as he didn't want to play mirrors whole day. Good call! Super fun weekend with kind people all around @pokemomandgirls @LynnOono @Pokemum2boys @ByteMe84 @pokedec14. The sleeves held up well @DragonShield_.

@BlossBlorrenTCG Was good to see you back at an event though!

Reflecting on the event has taught me my play was not up to level. Taking big breaks between events and not really practicing efficiently has really dampened my ability to play well in a big stressful event. Got a break from events now but I will return stronger next time 💪

@Thunderlove8 @Mnstrcoll @steff5001 Great result!! Well happy for you!

Thank you, @Mnstrcoll, for always being supportive and providing me with what I need, and @steff5001 for being an amazing coach! (2/2)

Top 32 at Utrecht with 🥄🪭 & hopefully Worlds?!? A special weekend for me & so many of my friends cheering me on - especially my Poké Mom Fee @pokedec14. Now to celebrate with my real mum before going back to the UK. Deck list below! (1/2)

@palafin_tcg Well done Fin! Great results

Fin told me he has had a W weekend! 4-4, bubbled out of t64 in 68th. But he’s had a great time with all his opponents, followed by 3-1 in the cup before he had to get the hook because we have a flight home to catch. Well done to all, some superb results from our Liverpool locals!

@OwKayTCG @zapdostcg Well done Kayden!!!

15/198 in Utrecht Regionals. Had great fun with the deck, finally locking me for Worlds. 1 point short for top cut but we’ll get there next season. Won’t be playing Turin so see you all at Worlds! Was great to catch up with friends. Good luck to @zapdostcg in T4 and beyond 💪

Not a great run this weekend for @spud010713 finishing 3-4-1. Still had a great weekend! Well done to @Thunderlove8 on top 32. Big thanks to @OwynKamerman for the coaching & @JonnyHowellss for the testing! Great fun with @pokedec14 & @pokemomandgirls as always! Bring on Turin!

On route to @playpokemon @Utrecht regional with @spud010713 Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Hopefully he'll pick a deck to play between now and tomorrow!!

I should also add, @spud010713 was 1-3-0 after round 4 and talked about dropping. I said if he did we could do some sightseeing, suddenly no longer wanted to drop! :)

Great fun @playpokemon #prague regional. Not the results @spud010713 wanted going 5-3-0 for 44/194 but had fun with friends seeing the beautiful city! Time to prep for #utrecht! Thanks to @pokemomandgirls @pokedec14 for being great company & @OwynKamerman for the coaching!
