Okay guys, I'm going to get straight the the point. Everyone knows about time in Pokémon TCG. Now do you guys really like such a short time limit? Time is something that plays a big role in the game, but let me point out something. Do you want to know what's annoying? When you're in your Top 16 Match at Nationals and there is a scholarship and a road to Worlds on the line, and guess what? You have everything set up, when guess what? "Pokemon Players, that is time!" I needed one more turn to kill my opponents Gallade and Gardevoir. Granted, it was fortunately my friend, and we were on the same team so I didn't care too much. But had it not been a friend and I lost like that, that would have really ticked me off. One thing a I am annoyed about is how you have the same Swiss and Top Cut time at a Battle Roads and at Worlds :nonono:
I mean, do you know what's on the line at Nationals or Worlds? Time should be increased in my personal opinion. You should look around. Look how many people complain about how they lost on time. At Nationals, one of my friends dad had a perfect game in his hands. One turn was all he needed to kill four things. That's right. Four. I'm sure you've all already seen the Ban G&G for Worlds 2008 Petition thread, right? If not, here's a link http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?p=1149688#post1149688. I strongly recommend you just read it, as it corresponds with this. Plox is a time deck. It burns tons of time a turn, sometimes up to 5 minutes, by Telepassing , Cosmic Powering, thinking of how many prizes to flip over, Dusknoir, supporters etc... This list goes on forever. Decks such as Empoleon take time to think, and added with the time Plox takes, tons of games always go to time. Now I do understand that at Nationals, a extra 15 minutes each round is just too much. We have to solve that issue though. I can give a billion examples of games giving up just because of time. So discuss! What should we do, and can we do anything?
