Upon re-reading this, I realize I misinterpreted this entirely. I read it as "members can pay for content," not "we'll pay for content." My apologies, I rescind my previous statements in their entirety on the subject, excluding the statement that a quality website providing quality free content...

That's a pretty dismissive and vague answer lol. If plans were in progress, I would have thought you would be excited to talk about them. Paywalls are it's own crazy discussion that I'll restrain myself from commenting on (much.) I am curious what goods/service Pokegym could offer that would be...

I understand NAIC was this weekend, and a lot of Pokegym Staff helps runs these events (at least in the past,) but I look forward to some more discussion on this topic now that the tournament has concluded.

It's not about forcing. You have to have something the brings members to the site and keeps them here. PokeBeach's forum still thrives, as does 6Prizes (albeit with a different format than normal forums) so even among the Virbanks and HeyFontes it is clearly possible. Even ********** (EDIT: This...

To the Pokegym staff. Are you ever going to try and revive the Gym?

When an opponent mulligans, they reveal their hand to the other player to show their lack of basic Pokemon. During this time, am I allowed to view and read specific cards in their revealed hand? Or am I supposed to verify the absence of basics and nothing more? I asked several players and judges...

I feel like this has been covered in the past (given the multitude of Eevee with similar worded abilities,) but it's 3:00 AM and I might have missed something while searching for an answer. Given Eevee from S&M: http://www.pokemon.com/uk/pokemon-tcg/pokemon-cards/sm-series/sm1/101/ And given...

Are old Rainbow Energies (Wizards of the Coast) legal for competitive play? Newer Rainbow Energies were updated to say "Put a damage counter" instead of "Does 10 Damage to that Pokemon" I would assume, that much like Rare Candy, older versions of the card are legal because they are functionally...

The following happened while playing PTCGO My opponent's active: Garchomp BKP http://pokegym.net/gallery/showimage.php?i=56834&c=333 My Active: Doesn't matter ----- Garchomp uses Bite Off for the KO on my Active. ---- I promote Sudowoodo BKP as my active...

-I have 1 prize. -My opponent has 1 prize. -I have THIS as my active Pokemon: http://pokegym.net/gallery/showimage.php?i=56513&c=331 with 30 HP remaining. -My Opponent has any Pokemon with 130 HP or less remaining HP. -I used Heat Tackle and KO my opponent's Pokemon. -I Flip tails and do 30...

http://pokegym.net/gallery/showimage.php?i=55757&c=324 If I have multiple out, do the abilities stack? Will two reduce damage by 40? Thanks in advance.

I disagree P_A. There was a lot of discussion, and I think the evidence of that lies in three forms. 1.) Prime's constant replies to most of the points that people made. Even if not everything he said we agreed with (and I disagreed with a lot of what he said), the fact of the matter was that...

WARNING LARGE POST INCOMING. It's late and I'm tired, I didn't proof read this, probably some typos and grammar errors. Sorry. I agree completely and fully with everything you said and this is definitely a plus 1 props for the staff. I have nothing to add other than I greatly respect the staff...

Most of your post I agree, but this 100% disagree...if this thread gets locked it will be due to the combined uncivil comments on BOTH sides. This is going to be a sensitive topic. We as members are directly critiquing the staff's personal project, one that they take great pride in. This is...

Quick reply: Prime, I still plan on giving you my brainstorming post (a post I might add will be 100% polar to my previous posts.) I've made my rant, made my point, and you and much of the staff acknowledged my opinion and my thoughts, regardless of you own opinion regarding the issues I...
