Believe me, Pokemon has those kinds of players as well.TrEkIeV said:i really hope it moves. all other card games have left origins (magic, vs, ygo...) the only gamers left are the "hard-core" ones - the ones that will sit at a table 3 days straight without showering and just playing dungeons and dragons, is that the kinda people we want in pokemon?

We'll see what happens. PUI handed out surveys at this year's Nationals, and I'm sure they're using those as input from players.
It wouldn't be a bad idea, as long as POP gave out as many trips to Americans as they did to Worlds this year, to the SDCC.SD PokéMom said:SD Comic-Con International FTW...not just comics, not just anime, but EVERYTHING pop-culture...movies, animation, gaming, toys/action figures etc.
Problems would be: SDCC is already so big, space would be likely be an issue...not to mention hotel space, and the 'OMG West Coast bias!!1!!' factor...

TrEkIeV said:yes, but do we really want more of them? imo, those are the people that portray the negative stereotype of pokemon players, making the rest of us look bad...
how many "hard-core" gamers do you think we actually "converted" to play pokemon? i honestly doubt very many.
also, i agree 100% that nationals should be moved to an anime convention. here's a list of anime conventions happening through out the year: http://www.anime-cons.com/events/calendar.shtml/001 . I think anime expo would be the perfect replacement to origins.

lol, anyways, i kind like it should stay at origians, from what i saw theres a lot of space, so if more space is needed, it shouldn;t be much of a problem ... anime conventions are usually tied up on space, so if its needed there, it might not be possible if its already booked as it is ...
