First one is coming right up! ^_^ Sat. Sept. 17 - The Comic Stop 3333 184th St SW Suite #G Lynnwood, WA 98037 Registration starts at 11:00 AM Registration ends at 12:00 PM.

I went to Hawaii in 2008 (I think it was 2008) to be paired in the LCQ against one of the best players in my state. Random happens. ^_^

LOL I should learn to duck faster! ^_^

I wasn't complaining about the 3 match 45 minute time limits... that's someone else's fight. I'm simply saddened by the direction the conversation appears to be going. I've been playing this game since it premiered in the United States and while there has always been the "kill or be killed"...

How tragic. RIP SoTG. As a TO and League Leader myself I can honestly say I hope I never, ever have this "kill or be killed" attitude for any tournament, ever. And if I do, or if Sarah does, or if JandPDS does, I really hope that the members of our League and our Poke-families call us on it...

So it's my understanding based on this and other threads that because we enjoyed playing in the LCQ we misunderstood the purpose of it and were wrong to enjoy it?

Congrats Ross! It was deja vu watching you and David playing up there. What was funny was watching the Chin boys hang on every move. Not that I blame them. Not that I wasn't hanging on to every move myself, LOL! It was and will always be a distinct pleasure to watch you play, especially a...

All of that from memory too. :smile: He didn't mention by name but his first round opponent was The 'Gym's own Bullados. My first round opponent, Matsuuri-san I think was his name, was very polite. He didn't speak english (I don't speak Japanese), but we both speak Pokemon and so...

Congratz David. It was a lot of fun watching you and Ross play in the finals. Thank you VERY much for keeping Ryan occupied in Anaheim, LOL! :smile:

I'm not really sure how this has flown under the radar, but the Indiana Black Expo is from July 7 - 17, and I imagine it's taking up many hotel rooms in the downtown Indianapolis area. They have a ton of fun-sounding stuff, including a film festival and concerts. The Celebration portion is...

It was Anaheim. Hawaii is tradionally smaller and ends sooner. ^_^ Actually, if I remember correctly the Shedninja deck from heck had a lot to do with it, lol!

RIP LCQ as we knew it. Now an unwelcoming "brutal and harsh" affair it may no longer be the fun, exhausting, exhilarating Pokemon gathering it once was. HOWEVER Let's all bear in mind that although we have lost the Spirit of the Game for this one tournament, it is hardly the end of our...

I respectfully disagree. As the mother of a 7-year-old girl who's been playing since she was four but at seven isn't in Pokemon's "elite" class I absolutely cannot subject her to this. The whole notion throws Spirit of the Game right into the toilet and flushes it. Let's say I do spend the...

With all the extra people in the city that weekend I wouldn't count on being able to FIND street parking. But free is good. ^_^ This is a bit odd. I went to the Convention Center website and clicked on the calendar. They have the Pokemon Championships listed (YAY!) but not the IBE, another...

There are some alternatives outside the city that seem feasible. University Place looks nice but I'm not comfortable walking a mile with my 7 year old daughter in a city I've never been in before. But researching has been fun and more challenging than usual. And I don't mind taking a cab into...
