it has come to my attention reccently that gino is quitting pokemon.... this is truly the saddest day in pokemon history.
not only do i look at gino as a friend and inspiration, but he truly is a role model and icon for the sport.
gino helped me realize its okay to be who you are, and you should never stop chasing your dreams....
in my eyes he is always the world champion.
at worlds this year, i watched as a champion get cheated out...
HE GOT A GAME LOSS FOR USING SLEEVES POKEMON GAVE HIM...... am i the only one outraged by this situation...
even after being cheated and slandered , gino still managed to set a example for the sport
as i was walking through the tournament area, i couldnt help but hear people bash gino...
there all haters, and tha'ts all they will ever be
"gino changed his name", "gino cant win without marked sleeves", "gino is a try-hard gangster"
all these comments make me sick,
as gino leaves to move on to bigger better things, i wish him luck for the future and i will try to promote the good things gino has done.
gino lombardi, despite the comments and rumors about you cheating and changing your name, ill forver respect you brother....:frown:

Pokemon TCG World Championship 2009 by Gino Lombardi
At worlds I received a game loss for having unintentional marked sleeves. The sleeves that I used during worlds were the ones that pokemon gave me in the worlds competitor package when you sign in to confirm that you are playing. This penalty cost me any hope of becoming a world champion and should have easily been avoided. I could sit here and blame the judges, the sleeves, the pokemon staff, or the ruling but I don’t want to leave pokemon with a negative attitude. This was my final year playing and I wanted to leave on a clean slate.
