When did the Pokémon TCG community develop the mindset that it's literally only worth playing the game when you have an easy way to qualify for worlds?
It's actually crazy to see people dropping the entire season before it started, only because they most likely won't make it. 😵💫

Just got insulted by my opponent for playing ShockLock after which he stood up, didn't sign the slip and just left. On top of that he's a PokéParent. Welcome to

Didn't make EUIC registration. By now, most people are used to how poorly TPCi handles a lot of things, but saying registration will be announced prior to the launch and then launching it Monday afternoon after an event has to be one of their weakest and stupidest moves yet.

Top 64 at EUIC with Urshifu/Inteleon. Day 2 was kinda rough but 500$, 130CP and a Booster Box is still nice 😄

Players that argue that prize checking is a skill that has to stay in the game would probably also argue that we should play events one-handed as a skill 😂
There's literally no reason why you shouldn't be able to look at your prizes during your first deck search👍

I know that there's probably a lot of people that knew it already, but since I'm not that much into VGC, I wanted to check if the three Pokémon next to Pachirisu in the "Claim Your Glory" video are actually based on

, Reigning IC Champion (me) and 3/4 PC Champions (
@Nataliem9999

But hey, TPCi wants to have their top players attend those events 🙃

(1st),
@LimitlessPhilip
(3rd),
@MagnusHK
(T32),
@JesperKEriksen
(T32) and
@limitless_robin
(T64). That‘s a combined 1450CP and 15,5k$ 🌶🔥

Seeing bugs on PTCGLive used to be funny, but now that it's fully released and PTCGO gone, it's really just depressing and honestly scary for the future of the game's online presence 😔
It's beyond my understanding how a billion dollar company can justify a product like this

Really disappointed in the judges at Worlds, Mimoso attacked for 130 with Hoopa for 6 turns when Ditto and Wobb were sitting on

Half of the European player base is about to move to China in April 😳
Pokemon China introduced the other half of the Sword & Shield - Nine Colors Gathering set releasing on March 1, 2024.
Inspired by Japanese Sword & Shield - Fusion Arts from 2021.

Most Pokémon decks are easy to play on a surface level, that's simply how the game is designed.
A lot of people underestimate how much more a good pilot can squeeze out of a deck when playing and sequencing it optimally, though. 👍
This is a topic that has consistently been a 50/50 from the opinions that I have gathered, so time to settle it; how difficult is it to play Chien-Pao/Baxcalibur?🤔

2nd Place at the Regional Championship in Bristol, was undefeated until Finals where I lost to

The moment when you have to go and check the forums to know which time zone they're even talking about.

You can only use one V-Star Attack per game. For the rest of the game each of your Pokémon do additional 30 damage and you take one extra prize card for each knockout.

Went from 4-0-0 to 4-3-1 in Gdansk. 🫣
Not having a good time with Pokemon right now, so I'll probably take an indefinite break from playing.

It's still so crazy to me that each year events happen from July to September with no one knowing the invite structure for the next season.
There is no chance that TPCi doesn't know the structure yet, so what's the point of not letting us know, with events already happening?😵💫

Please
@Pokemon
just split up your events by game and into competitions and collector/fan events. Not being able to walk through the hall or get to the bathroom in less than 30mins aren't conditions suitable for the highest level of competition 😭
Events have become a miserable

The timeframe before an event in which registration opens, in addition to player caps that barely match our actual attendances from last season, is not just a joke, but incredibly disrespectful to our EU player base.

Regardless of people being right or wrong, it's crazy to me how easily people are willing to share private group chats publicly on Twitter for attention, or to throw someone under the bus 😐
Which is illegal, btw, and you can get sued for under the right conditions by the party

Playing Crushing Hammer is like going to school/going to work.
Noone really wants to do it but it's kinda necessary to survive.

Wouldn't a system like this make a lot more sense nowadays, considering how big Regionals have gotten? 🤔

Still has a big gap between ICs and Regionals, but isn't a disproportionate as the current one 👍

Based on all the feedback I've seen in the last two days, I think the main issue with the top-x requirement vs. CP-bar is how abruptly TPCi decided to change it. For the last 10 + years (2012/2013 onwards), players had a feeling of certainty once they got to a certain CP

Back in Germany after spending 1.5 weeks in South Africa. I was able to grab a huge chunk of CP towards the Day 2 invite for Yokohama, but more importantly, the South African community was incredibly welcoming and I got to hang out with a bunch of amazing people ❤️ 🇿🇦

The entire budget for PTCGL went into this, instead of the program itself
Battle players, complete daily quests, and earn Battle Pass points to unlock cards from the latest expansion, Scarlet & Violet—Paldea Evolved, with the official release of

Even if it might not seem like the biggest accomplishment to pass 2000CP, especially because
@AzulGG
already got them a while back, I still think it's nice to see
@TordReklev
being the first European ever to get to that many CP in a Region with way less tournaments <3

Just had a coaching session where my student wasn't able to pick any Pokémon half of the time when using cards like Ultra Ball etc., to a point where we had to pivot to other means than PTCGL. This program is an absolute joke, TWO YEARS after putting code cards for it into packs.
