[SailorClef]

oh snap! ._.
..sigh.. too bad I don't see the GOOD one sentence add-on thread.. none of the ones since then have lived up to its glory ._.

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

Gotta love how the CaC forum link doesn't work and I therefore can't see my predecessors.
;x

 

[Marril]

That's not old-school. THIS is old school.

No, that's ancient lol.

 

[blastoise1992]

This is really awesome. I've even been venturing back to the old TCG site. Ahh. Good Times. :smile:

EDIT: Not only that site but the old POJO, and some other sites.

 

[Poliwag92]

Ahh, good old league season one. It was so fun! 50 people were at a league in my area, now only I play in my area.

 

[ToysRUsKid]

the dojo > everything.

Wait, you mean the "1-3 word per person never ending funny story"? That thing was a drug trip and a half. I got like half my total post count from it, so like 1000+ of the posts in it were mine. It was nuts.

EDIT: wait no that was just the front page

nooo.. the one sentence add-on o_o

to this day I still mourn the loss of King Pika and "Al Gore2's Porygon3 with Splash, Splash2, Splash3 and Tri-Maple Bar Attack" (you had to say the whole name every time)

Awesome article! I wish some of those guys still played.

Man, that article brings back memories, not only because I recognize the cards (having quit the TCG when Gym 2 came out*), but because those were some really great decks with a simpler, better Pokémon TCG than it is now. And, lo, 4x Energy Search, which I remember people calling me stupid for using way back when. I like the whole "Twelve Oaks" thing, especially since people'd gather in the streets just to chant "Oak Is Broke" in those days. Never got banned despite being the best card in the entire TCG's history, either. Ah, the memories.

* = "Then why come to a site mainly for the TCG?", you ask? The community, mainly, since I was 'Gymming when some of the regulars here were in like third grade.

 

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Oh man, the Haymaker, God rest that thing's soul. :frown: Those were the days.

[a_shy_girl_1999]

i remember that forum! i dont think i joined at that time (it was later when i joined) i came to read for tcg news... wow....

 

[Psycho_Lugia_X]

I had no idea! Neat to see prehistory. Like when I first started learning about sets before Oddysey in MTG. Mind blowing!
