                        11.26.01  Hello hello!
                       
                        BLASTOSIE: *grumble grumble*...
                       
                        You still upset?
                       
                        BLASTOISE: *pout*
                       
                        Sigh....Blastoise is a bit upset about my not letting
                        him accompany me to
                       
                        the WCSTS this year. I've tried to explain that the nice
                        people in San Diego
                       
                        would be a bit leery of a giant turtle walking around
                        inside the convention
                       
                        center, and even went as far as to describe the door
                        dimensions and how it
                       
                        would be mathematically impossible to fit his rather
                        large form through the
                       
                        front entrance. Because of this, Blastoise has taken to
                        ignoring me and
                       
                        anyone that comes into the shop today. Ah well...let's
                        see the deck, hm?

                        I did this deck and modified i so many times. it has
                       
                        won 15 out of 18 games.
                       
                        I want to improve it.
                       
                        My strategy is to evolve blastoise in 2 turns and use
                       
                        the trainers to get all the energy cards and trainers
                       
                        i need to quickly evolve and to deliver VERY heavy
                       
                        damage in only the start of the game (tip:energies
                       
                        galore using raindance).
                       
                        >>>>
                       
                        Hey! Blastoise, look! A Raindance deck!
                       
                        BLASTOISE: ....
                       
                        Ugh...fine. Be a big baby. See if I care. Let's get to
                        fixing the deck.
                       
                        The Pokémon need to be focused, first of all. We've got
                        three(!!!) evolution
                       
                        lines, which is NOT a good thing at all. Remove the base
                        Gyarados for two
                       
                        more Blastoise and kill the Magikarp for three Cleffa.
                        This will not only
                       
                        help the deck get moving faster, but will get rid of
                        some of our weakling
                       
                        basics. In the environment that is today's, we need to
                        cut back on as many
                       
                        weakling basics as possible, for fear of Rocket's Zapdos
                        coming along and
                       
                        ruining our day. Remove the two Wartortle for another
                        Misty's Magikarp and
                       
                        Misty's Gyarados. Lastly, remove the Articuno and Lapras
                        for a third Misty's
                       
                        Gyarados, making the line 3-3, and a lone Wooper-wait.
                        Your original number
                       
                        was off by one, meaning we have room for two Wooper, so
                        in they both go. Our
                       
                        Pokémon now look like this:
                       
                        Pokémon: 19
                       
                        4 Squirtle (all rocket)
                       
                        4 Blastoise
                       
                        3 Misty's Magikarp
                       
                        3 Misty's Gyarados
                       
                        3 Cleffa
                       
                        2 Wooper
                       
                        Onto the Trainers now. Take out the two Super Potion off
                        the bat to make
                       
                        room for two more Professor Oak, and ditch the three
                        Switch for three
                       
                        Itemfinder. Next, remove two Gust of Wind for a fourth
                        Computer Search and
                       
                        Itemfinder, and change the two Pokémon Traders into Pokémon
                        Breeders. Turn
                       
                        the two Energy Retrieval into two Ecogym and borrow two
                        Water Energy for two
                       
                        Nightly Garbage Run. We're done!
                       
                        Trainers: 22
                       
                        4 Professor Oak
                       
                        4 Computer Search
                       
                        4 Itemfinder
                       
                        4 Pokémon Breeder
                       
                        2 Ecogym
                       
                        2 Nightly Garbage Run
                       
                        1 Gust of Wind
                       
                        1 Misty's Tears
                       
                        The Energy really doesn't need much work. Just remove
                        two more Water Energy
                       
                        for two Double Colorless Energy and we're done.
                       
                        Energy: 19
                       
                        17 Water Energy
                       
                        2 Double Colorless Energy
                       
                        That'll do it for today.
                       
                        BLASTOISE:...*snort!*
                       
                        Gah...don't mind him. He's just a big baby. -_-;;
                       
                        On another note, I look forward to seeing a lot of you
                        at the WCSTS. Just
                       
                        look for the goofy looking guy with curly brown hair in
                        the Pojo
                       
                        jersey...that's meh. ;) See ya in San Diego!
