One of the saddest parts about this pandemic is that even once it’s all over and life is “normal” again, we’ll always know which of our friends and family members chose not to accept small sacrifices to benefit the health and well-being of those truly vulnerable and at risk.

Pretty disappointing that you would publish something like this, knowing all of the issues Matt is actually facing in the house. Do you remember the live vote where he just sat there because no one gave him a cue to leave? What a disingenuous article.
I appealed the age-restriction just to see if it would work. Of course, the appeal was denied.
Now they're telling me it's violating their "sex and nudity policy".
It's a Mega Man 2 video.
+18 609/600 we’re going to Hawaii!
Huge thanks to
@dzheng33
and
@FusionShade
for helping me close it out. Super fitting to finish the invite at my local store.
It’s surreal to wake up in Hawaii to play in the Pokémon World Championship this morning, a dream 17 years in the making. I decided on a whim to take this one last shot 12 months ago. Time to make it count.

Bradner makes a game error on stream: "CHEATER! BAN HIM! GET HIM!"
Nicholas Moffit admits to cheating days after Top 4ing Regionals, and to barely being able to stop himself from cheating again: "Hey that kid is trying to do better and grow, let's leave him alone."
It sickens me knowing that some big names in the Pokémon collecting industry thought it was ok to attend a large convention this past weekend. Not surprising that people like
@LeonhartYT
and
@Breaking_Nate
haven’t posted pictures, they’re ashamed. Do better, be a role model.
This was the most fun I’ve had playing Pokémon in years. Thanks to
@SSky57
for the idea and for grinding games with me last night to perfect the list!

Every Regional weekend I wake up excited to watch the stream, and then I remember they don’t start showing TCG until halfway through the tournament for no reason 🙃
3 of the 5 best players to ever pick up a Pokémon card are playing in Worlds Top 8, and all of them have a chance to join the other 2 in that group as World Champions.
In 2013,
@cschemanske
and family picked this up for me at Worlds. I used it all season in 2013-2014 as motivation to earn one myself and qualify for my 1st Worlds. I made it by the skin of my teeth and will always keep this beat up deckbox as a reminder of how hard I (we) worked.
Finished in 9th place this weekend with this Lycanroc/Zoroark list. Thanks to Isaiah Bradner for creating it! Wouldn’t change a card.
Up to like 610 CP this season so I guess the hunt is on 😉
@lubyllule

@TordReklev
sharing decklists with each other just before the finals. They will both have full information going into the finals.

The flight crew on my plane back from
#PokemonWorlds
gave a special thanks to all of the Pokémon fans aboard. Never had that one happen before, pretty cool!
#PlayPokemon
Finished in 3rd place in Collinsville. Incredibly happy for an amazing run. Thanks so much to everyone who supported me this weekend, especially
@cschemanske
with the insistence of the 4th Float Stone.

What a disingenuous article.
Why do bag checks if you aren’t actually going to check past the top layer of the bags? I’m all for bag checks to keep us safe, and anyone who remembers Worlds 2015 should be as well. But don’t half ass it.
I never really maximized my unique position as a player as it pertains to the Pokemon TCG collecting world and I've been thinking about those mistakes so I wanted to give some information and my opinions for current players.
I clicked all the Democrat buttons extra emphatically as a middle finger to Kavanaugh, voter suppression, and, of course, Donald Trump. You should go vote too!

He came to hunt for match points and he's pretty close to catching them all. 🔴⚪

Excited to share that I'll be commentating Daytona Regionals this weekend with a stellar cast and crew over at
@criticalhitgg
! I'll post links to the stream tomorrow when we go live 🙌
1 year ago today, I was super pumped to go to Disneyland before Worlds, enjoy the nice California sun, and generally just excited. Today, I'm making plans to avoid being shot in Nashville. Not the best choice

I truly believe that most players don't cheat. I also believe that most players don't even consider cheating.
I think the process of personal growth and improvement should always happen away from the game and events, and rehabilitation can only occur after such a period.
Could not have asked for a better birthday weekend or better friends to spend it with. Thanks to everyone for the support this weekend, it means a lot!
#PlayPokemon
There should be special prize packs for Regionals. They could even seed in the stamped Turo or Geeta or whatever to be in every pack and then we can have 5 other cards with a special Regionals stamp. Extra points if the stamp has the city name.
Top 128 in Knoxville, played the Azul list with Dark Gloves > Devo TM. Deck was busted, clutched out wins when it needed to and bricked in bad matchups :)
+40 391/600
Finally made a day 2 this season, super happy to get that monkey off my back even if I only ended up with 30 CP.
Moon broken, shoutout

@KianNakano

I have been to hundreds of Pokémon events but never have I seen a marching band in the tournament hall. Incredible theming here in New Orleans.

It’s also not the “epic moment” he thinks he is if he forces it to happen every season. It was iconic in times when a negotiation happened before because it was organic.
Not really sure what else we can do. Brushed off in person, support tickets ignored or answered with misinformation such as this one, emails fruitless as well.
@Pokemon
just doesn't care about their players and it's a shame.
#PokeFraud
The changes to the ban list are welcomed and necessary. They also show a willingness to ban cards before they become a problem. Steps are being taken in the right direction, though we need to take a few more steps until Expanded is really in a healthy spot.
#PlayPokemon
It is absurd that the competitive Pokemon TCG season hinges for many players on the ability to even register for International Chamionships. Just get enough space for everyone to play.
Here’s the list I played this weekend, really wanted to make some changes but thanks to
@cschemanske
and Alex for talking me out of some bad cuts!
#PlayPokemon
Ended up 7-1-1, turns out Malamar becomes a bad matchup when they play Fury Belt. Fun fact: I’ve lost 3 times in a row at 7-0-1 in US Nats. Excited for tomorrow!
#PlayPokemon
This isn't cancel culture, it's accountability! People who cheat effectively steal money, points, and accomplishments from everyone in the room. Cheaters should be removed from the play field, not rehabilitated.
If I've learned anything from working in software development, it's the importance of stepping away to clear your mind. Countless times I've struggled with a bug or an issue for an hour or so, went away for lunch, and came back to fix it in 5 minutes. Probably applicable to life.
My apologies to anyone who might have heard my, uh, shout of frustration yesterday. I was very emotionally invested in my friends matches and everything kind of crashed down all at once.
