    Spread: A(n) (Un)Viable Strategy in The Current Format?

    Are spread strategies viable in the current format with cards like Poke Turn and Nidoqueen RR? We've got great cards like Gallade 四, Abomasnow, and Manectric PT, but they get shot down by Power Spray and Dialga G Lv.X. At US Nationals I watched a Gallade 四 player attempt to "Blade Storm" twice...

    http://www.go-pokemon.com/op/news/articles/51.html Certain SP Pokemon released in the new "Rising Rivals" set have names which incorporate the Chinese numeral 四 (four), which is also used in the Japanese language. Are these cards not in fact "foreign-language cards" per the use of foreign...

    Sw337 Rogue Decks @ Regionals?

    Just curious to know what kind of ideas have been floating around as to different rogue decks surfacing for Regionals. There are a lot of great overlooked cards on the fringes of the current format and G is now the deck to beat. Perhaps something that consistently beats G and Machamp/GEChamp...

    Pokemon TCG: An Enduring Competitive Pursuit?

    The business model for the Pokemon Trading Card Game closely resembles MLM (Multi-Level Marketing). Cards are sold to regional affiliates who then re-sell the product to consumers at pre-releases and other special events, and work to generate local interest in the game, often without receiving...

    Obama Speech Censored in China

    Originally reported by the BBC, NYT. So I'm wondering what everyone thinks about Obama's inaugural address being censored by the Chinese authorities. He had some harsh words for communism, with which the Chinese communist party [understandably] wasn't happy, and was keen to keep away from...

    Drrty's 23rd Place Tom Bean, TX CC Report

    Getting up at 6:30 and driving 180 miles on Saturday morning is always exciting! I hop in my go kart shortly after 7 and head out to meet Cyrus. There's a communication breakdown as it turns out our Albertson's meeting point has shut down -- must be Recession Claus. We eventually rendezvous...

    This is America Dangit! Speak English!

    This is America Dangit! Speak English! Doesn't it seem ironic that some of us, as Americans, talk down to our expat brethren from below and above, left and right, just for being unable to communicate in our national tongue, English? We are a nation of immigrants. So my question is -- does...

    The Battle Road Format..

    Seems great. Maybe better than it was at the same time last year. Good job shaking things up and making it more interesting than GG v. GG metagame, PUI/POP. Do you [players] agree or disagree and why?

    Drrtybyl's Dallas, TX League CHAMPION Report 07/26/08

    So I head down to Dallas with Jkwarrior on Saturday afternoon, expecting a pretty serious turnout with worlds rapidly approaching -- sure enough, a big group of contenders shows up. I'm left deciding between Maggot.dec and a crappy SD: I go with the maggot. So I get in a couple of pickup games...

    Nationals Deck Field Composition Predictions

    Considering MD didn't really yield many new obviously great cards aside from Empoleon (which will discourage Magmortar play) and Bronzong, what archetypes do you think will make up the Nationals field? Here's [roughly] what I'm expecting, since Gardy has yet to be unthroned: 35%...
