Memeber feedback please!

So-
With TCPI Events hosting VGC Tournaments, the Video Game community is growing even more when it comes to the competitive scene for the current video games Nintendo has released.

I will admit that there are plenty of options out there to get in battle practice, experience, team testing- all things competitive in relation to being prepared for a tournament at a TCPI Event.

Personally, I am not looking to compete with other sites- I am looking to provide a simple resource for you members to have this site be just that: a resource.

What sort of a resource would you members like this site to provide?

I welcome your suggestions or ideas. Some things could be provided, while some things might be out of our reach to maintain or provide. I just do not know what more can be provided for you members without some feedback.

This site is a solid ground for the TCG, while the VGC is growing more and more as time goes on. I feel that it is reasonable to provide something that contributes into the TCPI Events for preparing the players so they can increase their skills and the what not. I am not looking to compete with other sites or resources, but to at least be on some level of provision for new and experienced players.

Should we host tournaments?
Would you like to provide something in this area?
Pokémon reviews?
strategy suggestions?

Anything?

Please feel free to post your thoughts!

Hmmm ... I've thought about this a bit. I'd like to see some reviews of metagame-worthy pokemon, some commentary from event participants (regardless of how well they placed in an event), and .....

A tournament hosted here (on an annual basis) with prizing that would be interesting to the video game player segment (entirely possible in my opinion due to the administration's close association with TPCi - for example a pokemon with a specific moveset that can only be obtained as a prize from that year's event, sets of 10 cherish balls, sets of 10 rare candies or other useful in-game items) - with added rules (somewhat like the professor cup in the card game that's held at the US Nats) to make things challenging and fun. Perhaps as a suggestion for example, along with the normal VG rules lets just say all players can only battle with non-basic, non-stage 2 pokemon. So Scizor, Haunter and Pidgeotto would be ok, but Kangaskhan, Durant, Charizard, Gengar and Pidgeot would be out. Sure, the metagame would probably favor stage 1 pokemon that can mega evolve like Scizor, but that also would prove part of the strategy to overcome. It would be a challenge worthy event which not only gives a decent prize but also gives big bragging rights. And sure, yes, I'd be willing to help run that type of event here. It would bring back to the gym pokemon video players in droves - not to compete with other sites, but showing that you have something to offer!

wow. great question. How about links to relevant content on other sites? Because pokemon is in some way affiliated with the gym they could have a warning on the link that "the gym is not responsible for links outside of the website" like on pokemon.com.

I find myself at ****** and bulbapedia lots. Hate to have someone else reinvent the wheel here.

^ meh- not looking to reinvent: looking to find more things to put wheels on to get things roll'n again for this site.

Thank you both so far for the feedback--

just know that we are working on things to bring on here to keep the stale air from being just that: stale.

back to the shop to work out more dings............. please feel free to speak up and say your thoughts or ideas.
