TCG Tips

It seems to me like unlimited tournaments are missing... I wonder if they have E-Reader cards in Japan, and if they don't have them, why do they put them in? I'm not saying it's bad, but there's a change. If unlimited came back, maybe people who have the old cards might play in unlimited tournaments and later in that process be encouraged to buy newer packs of pokemon cards. What was the point of the Legendary Card Set? When I first saw them, I thought that they were counterfeits!! Then Neo Destiny came and ultra-rares were introduced. Unlimited players didn't want to really buy this set because it was like a base set 3: just a mix of chosen fossil ,jungle, rocket, and, base set cards.

I heard there's an age limit to be able to play in pokemon tournaments. I mean without the professor program or something like that. I think it wasn't a very flexible program, so less older players are playing and since older people liked unlimited( standard) , I guess .. unlimited is harder to find. I think more leagues should be opened overseas and that the age limit should be gone, and that standard should be just as available as they were before. Because unlimited should be respected like other ways of playing pokemon cards. So that none shall be dominant. It gives people a wider variety of playing and gives them more freedom. In my country, they stopped selling pokemon cards when the movies stopped playing! I could also think of other things that would improve pokemon. Keep the damage counters that were used in the earlier theme decks (the stones). The metal coins can stay, since they don't fly as far. There should also be some kind of special rubber band that keeps a deck together and doesn't ruin the cards. In the pokemon rulebook the reason why there are so many pokemon cards being made is because all cards can be played. Now I think that that reason is gone. Or a little bent. Unlimited/Standard isn't available everywhere. Maybe not all these ideas may work, but I did buy a lot of cards. ( I have 23 decks). Some ideas should be put to practice. And if it is, it will potentially do good. Unlimited is the problem and the solution. If standard is limited to what it is now, other types of card playing strategies are limited too.

- Pokemon isn't dead, it just needs to be changed.- My impression from some pojo articles. I hope to start a local tournament. Or a league or something, probably not official.. but maybe soon. I will move in a year to another place in Europe. I like standard, just like I like my deck. I like standard, because all the cards that are banned in modified were also the same cards that people bought when pokemon was really popular. - When people limit other people, they can sometimes limit themselves-

We need some support and some replies so we can convince Nintendo to make unlimited tournaments more available in other places, not only in places the U.S. , but also in Eastern Europe.

If you still aren't convinced. E-mail me.
