ninetails1234, I don't think it's obvious to figure out Gardevior and Gallade. We can't assume that the japanese copied that idea from americans.

Exactly right.

They do read Pokegym, Ive seen them quote stupid posts from here too.

Like what? That would be interesting to see.

Well, it honestly just proves how strong GG is.
Even the Japanese are playing it, lol.

This worlds we're gonna see lot's of GG variants, it would be a pleasure to show mine!

Dennis: I believe the metagame there are nothing gamebreaking, just the boring ol GG, Empo and Leafeon variants....

I mean they have UF eevee which setups for a very consistant MagLutions/Leafy Vx variants. I mean their card pool is wider,if I was there I wouldnt care and just play ex decks. They probably had GG already built probably during our autumn BRs and were like" Yea the americans are gonna use this deck like theirs no tommorow".

Look at the second photo, do you see MD Eevees? I guess we do see them therefore HP-MD format for them

Nice report! It'd be awesome if the US got a chance to do this kind of thing.

Tego what is their format??

 

[Jason]

Their normal format was RG-DP5 but now its DP-on.

 

[vanderbilt_grad]

Their normal format was RG-DP5 but now its DP-on.

Japan's format changed?

 

[Banette EX]

so their format changes b4 worlds???

 

[Prime]

It couldn't be DP-on format at that tournament since they were using Dugtrio with their Empoleon.

 

[SD PokeMom]

the whole POINT of the tourney was to give the japanese players experience with the format and tourney rules used worldwide...so the format was our modified, HP-on.

Cheers for giving the Japanese a chance to experience our format. I'm sure many worlds participants are comforted by them not having any SDs. Or do they?
