banning something because "you shouldn't need them" is totally absurd. Are you going to ban hats too? You shouldn't need to wear them either as you are protected from the sun.
To go along with this subject, why are headphones illegal? There are PLENTY of games where my opponent is extremely boring and I just want to listen to some tuneage while the match goes on. I think that rule is 'most dumber-er' than anything.
All electronic devices are not allowed during a match.
I think he was asking why headphones were banned not if any electronic devices were allowed or not :/
I where glasses (shutta shades ftw) for fun sometimes and I always where a hat and/or hood whenever possible. Some may think it is idiotic but, it could potentially hide your facial expression which can win you a game. I personally do it for fun and where Hats/glasses/hoodies outside of the Pokemon world because I like them lol.
Imagine your opp wearing headphones, and you come to realize later that he had an iphone instead and he was listening to his friend, who was behind you, listing all your cards in hand??

Who is THAT bad of a player they just can't play and beat their opponent or lose like a man? More work than it is worth (which it wouldn't work at all).
