Hello Everyone:
"Team Pokemon", what does it mean? A game without barriers. Where ALL Pokemon TCG Players, Fans and the like can interact together and speak as ONE voice. Below, is an e-mail that I had sent to PUI, asking for a rather "unusual" request. I composed this e-mail, with the interests of the GLOBAL Pokemon community at heart. I love Pokemon and everything it stands for, and I will work dilligently to bring equality to this game and its players worldwide.
So, here is embarking on a NEW BEGINNING!

Dear Dave,
After perusing the Pokegym forums last evening, and carefully reviewing all posts, including the few that were composed by yourself, I wanted to submit an idea for your review and consideration, that MIGHT help eliviate some of the concerns expressed by players in the European continent.
While I understand that this request might SEEM unreasonable, I feel that this would be a viable alternative to having to take time and resources away from your busy schedule to address these concerns personally.
What I am proposing is to act as an intermediary between PUI/TPC and the Pokemon player base, by disseminating information as it becomes available to be released to the player base. I would then post this information, and attempt to answer any questions and/or concerns as posed by the player contingency worldwide.
I would do this on my own time, and do not ask for any monetary compensation. All I ask, is that information is released in a timely and consistent fashion, in order to facilitate a smooth transition for Nintendo's OP program worldwide.
I feel, that with Upper Deck's OP program in close to full bloom, that many current Pokemon players might permanently switch to the "Yu-Gi-Oh" TCG, because many will feel that Pokemon's OP program is either non-existent, or has met with an unusual amount of beaurocracy which could result in lengthy delays.
I, honestly don't want to see this happen. I feel that all players of this game should be entitled to a cohesive Organized Play program whether they reside in America or Australia.
This would provide a "win-win" situation for all parties involved, that is two-fold:
1. It would reduce the amount of time spent by the limited staff at Pokemon USA, Inc, allowing them to concentrate in building a more cohesive Organized Play structure for players on ALL continents.
2. It would serve as a "beacon of reassurance" for players in these areas, many whom feel they have been forgotten and/or overlooked, and thus end up giving up on the game and going elsewhere. I would be able to provide information, as it is made available to legally release (pending any NDA requirements that NOA/NOJ/PUI/TPC have with regards to such dissemination of information.) which in-turn would put players on notice with upcoming events, news and other pertinent information that pertains to Organized Play.
I understand and realize the burdens that creating a cohesive worldwide OP structure entails, and I can certainly imagine the time restraints and/or headaches that come along with this position. I am offering my services to alleviate some of this burden, and I ask for your consideration to this proposal with this in mind.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
