So obviously there has been no official announcement from Pokémon, and I don't expect that there will be for another few weeks to a month on NAIC (and possibly Worlds) at that point, but are we at the point where we should assume the rest of the Pokémon year is done? In the US the number of...

I agree, which is why I was surprised to see people saying it was rotating. My only thought was that maybe they knew something I didn't. Hope it doesn't rotate as that leave a very barren format. TEU has a ton of playable cards.

Actually some of the recent thoughts are that TEU rotates. I didn't think that would be the case, but there are YouTube channels up projecting the rotation to include TEU. I hope it doesn't rotate though.

Sorry to disagree, but I think Rotom Phone is totally broken. It is going to be a staple in every deck. The reasons isn't because it is inherently good on it's own, but rather because just about every deck is already using Oranguru from Sw&Sh. When paired together we now have a massive...

Yeah, seems like Worlds is more likely to be canceled due to process than virus. From what I am hearing it isn't very likely they will have Worlds this year due to CP issues. There are so many questions TPCI would have to answer. How much do we lower CP to adjust for missed...

Without a doubt the Coronavirus does spread better. All I am saying is that people are WAY overreacting to this. Shutting down everything and secluding isn't the right response. Being responsible, taking the proper precautions (especially if you are older, immunocompromised, or much younger)...

Already have tickets and accommodations for worlds. That's so far that there is no way it will be canceled. A lot of things will be resuming in a few weeks. Higher temperatures have been proved to be a barrier against spread (i.e. # of cases in Singapore vs. S. Korea), so as we move into...

While I agree with being prudent I don't think secluded is the solution. Also, just because there is a higher percentage for Coronavirus deaths means nothing when there is such a drastic sampling difference. That is statistics 101. You would need comparable numbers to come up with comparisons...

In the US the Center For Disease Control just released its up to date numbers for this calendar year only. 565 cases of Cornoavirus and 20 deaths. 35,000,000 cases of Influenza and over 20,000 deaths. Don't recall anyone ever canceling an event because of the flu. This is what happens when...

I know right. Pokémon suspends the rules about shaking hands to prevent Coronavirus and forgets you shuffle and cut your opponents deck like 50 times a game. Guess those germs just magically disappear :)

You make some interesting points. I had considered Night March as we get closer to Charlotte. I am interesting to see what changes the meta makes after being so control oriented at Collinsville (3 hand lock and 2 item lock in top 8). At this point I am not sure what is a good play for...

Ha ha, I laughed when I saw Celebi V and Noivern get name dropped to counter the Ninja Boy argument. Yeah I agree completely. If you want to prove that Ninja Boy is relevant and a strong deck go win a regional with it and then maybe we can talk about it. 4 DDE in hand is what happens when you...

I will say I can't speak for the depth of Ninja Boy, but I can say it didn't make top 8 at Collinsville, so clearly it must also be lacking some depth as well.

You both were actually kind of right. Ninja boy did perform well at Collinsville in combination with Ho'Oh and the bird trio. That said it clearly wasn't top tier. It lost on stream to Snorlax late in day 2 and didn't make the finals. The top 8 was 3 Trevenant & Dusknoir hand lock, 2...

So I checked with the Judge who has been training me and he said the packaging of the product says for ages 6+. That being the case I suppose people are hesitant to allow players under that age perhaps from more of a legal stand point.

Yeah 47 juniors registered and paid, but only 46 submitted decklists so that one extra got dropped. Definitely can't register a 3 year old as they have to be 6 and over to participate. Too bad too. Happens a lot in every division though.

Nice, glad to see I could help. My son opted to play TinaChomp and went 3-1-2. Went 3-0 out of the gate and had 3 win and ins against 3 players in the top 10 of the US. Drew first against Snorlax and lost twice against Zacian. Worst for that tournament is that 47 juniors registered, 1 shy of...

Yeah, lucky for you that you can just see what Collinsville produces. The best tech against Snorlax VMax is going to be Sudowoodo. Bench Barrier obviously hurts. You can play stealthy hood as well to improve vileplume and play on Sudowoodo if they try to shut it down with Muk. That makes...

Yeah I get the complexity of it. I have a son in juniors who is stipend chasing and daughter who already has her invite to worlds but plays only semi-competitively. We live in an area filled with pros at all levels. That being said, juniors and seniors are definitely ignored a lot. Unless...

You can take Hunter's list off Limitlesstcg and just make a few small changes to it. There really isn't much from Sw&Sh to add to that list other than quick ball and probably Zigagoon. Senior's division is tough, especially if this your first regional in expanded. You can expect around 100...
