Hm... it almost seems like they didn't print Sammi's deck because he's European. Last year they didn't print Khan Le's deck but the other Blissey instead. =(
The Top Four in each age division were:
5 Americans
4 European
3 Japanese
The World Champions were:
2 Japanese
1 American
What they printed:
3 Americans
1 Japanese
Is it just me or does this look somewhat strange?
I'm not sure, but afaik the names have been given by the players.
I really cannot believe the names of these decks.
How many times have we talked about stalling being a negative part of the game and then a deck is published called "Stallgon". That is not very good in my opinion.
Raybees FTW.

That's not the right way in my opionion. The decks are mainly for players who want to learn from the champions. I think a deck from a higher age group is better for that purpose. Exspecially this year, since Takuto is probably the youngest Senior player who ever won Worlds, he's kind of popular (a lot of masters players got cards signed by him) and he got 2nd the year before.They tend to favor younger age groups when considering which decks to print and if given the opportunity to print a senior and a junior deck, they'll print the junior deck =/
Dude - back down.Stalling is a legitimate tactic that has been around since the beginning of the game. Don't knock it just because you don't like it or can't play it.

I guess if the SP deck was a) from Takuto and b) with Luxray as front Pokémon instead of Skuntank, sales would increase a lot. Honestly, why Skuntank on the cover? Last year they didn't choose Toxicroak (which was the main Pokémon in the deck) because it's too unpopular, and now Skuntank which is only for support?! Then why not take Claydol as cover Pokémon for the other decks? =P
