Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

A Place Not Quickly Forgotten

It's amazing how similar your autobiography is like mine, despite being maybe two or three years older than me.

Pokemon has done so much for me. It's not the game anymore, its the friends I've made, the things it taught me, the opportunities it gave me, and still giving me. It sure is nice to see people like you Tyais that I watched on the original gym prior to actually becoming a more prominent and public nuisance. ;)

Now where is Qasic? Havent seen him since the Pojo UBB crashed.

Phil: You don't know how close you came to being banned on the original Gym because we thought you were the same person as "Master Trainer Phil".
Thankfully, we checked the IPs out.
 
Tyais, Qasic, so many familar names. While I doubt anyone remembers me from the old league (I was Pokemon Trainer Terry on there IIRC), I remember you, so welcome back, Tyais. :)
 
Ty...ais... wait, I remember a ty-ais, back when the dinosaurs were competing with the Charizards for control of the earth.

Heh. Good to see you again. Hope you stick around and all that.
 
It's been too long

Hello. I know this is an old thread, and I know that it is considered bad forum etiquette to revive old threads. Nevertheless, I feel I have something to add.

I was a moderator for the pokegym deck help forum way back when. We’re talking from Jungle expansion to Team Rocket expansion. We’re talking way back when Pokegym and Pojo where actually competing for popularity. We’re talking back when pokemon was still an international sensation. We’re talking about five (?) years ago.

I used this rather corny username back then, and that’s why I’m using it now (although now I realize both “Saiyan” and “Vegeta” are misspelled). I haven’t played pokemon in ages, although I still have my trapper deck lying around.

But enough about me. I just wanted to say hello to Tyais. It’s a real stroke of luck (act of God?) that I found this website. I just happened to be reading a Far Side book last night when I decided to try to imitate Gary Larson’s style. When I found my sketchpad, I noticed some old issues of scrye, topdeck, duelist et cetera lying around. I started reading them and decided to see if the old pokegym was still around. Apparently it is, but much has changed since I’ve been gone.

I’d like to say hello to anyone who remembers me.

P.S. Does anyone remember any of these “old school” pokegym members: Zorak, Koriborous, Spike, Captain Chronic or Mind Blade?

:cool:
 
We'll forgive your indescretion SSV. GREAT to hear from you - a real blast from the past. There are still those of us here who remember the old days of the Gym, and the people you mentioned. I sometimes wonder what that crazy mantis Zorak is doing these days. I hear Kori is still involved in gaming, although not Pokemon. Captain Chronic has had ups and downs in his personal life, but was a still PokeGym mod part way through the WizPog era, and I believe he has even stopped by this version of the Gym. Hope to hear from you occasionally.

I remember you Big Daddy Snorlax. Nice to see an old face. I would like to still post here sometimes, but I don't know anything about modern pokemon. Apparently, there is now some sort of a rule now that restricts the number of trainers in a deck (at least, that's what a gather from looking at the decks section). It's either that or some cards have been banned. I don't see decks with 10 pokemon, 10 energy and 40 trainers anymore.

Anyway, it was good seeing this place again.
 
Seeing all these ghosts coming out of the woodwork is as much fun as it is sad.

So much fun so long ago, so long gone...

Welcome back all... but you're not REALLY back, are you?
