What a strange week this was. Dark Master Trainer Mike (aka DMTM, aka
Da' Boss) decided to have MT_Mike, and MT_Pat feel what it is like to be put in
that box Dark Apprentice Steve is always in. So he let DAS out of the box and put the other two Master Trainers in. The two "dark ones" ran the whole
show by themselves!
This was a very heavy week for rulings; must be getting close to QT time (I'll be in Westminster, CA on May 5 & 6 myself). But there were a few
other news items to share:
SUPER TRAINER SHOWDOWN (STS):
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #224 from lucky_cal:
Sorry if you've been asked this before, but why are you keeping Fossil cards
out of the STS? I can understand Base and Jungle...
darkmt_mike says, "Ditto. Ditto And again Ditto."
darkmaster_steve says, "ditto ditto ditto, and still ditto."
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #170 from gexico:
Will Promo Psyduck be usable at the STS?
darkmt_mike says, "I'm not sure but I think he may not be now because he is a reprint of an existing."
darkmt_mike says, "I will find out and let you know for sure."
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #198 from unown_master:
Why isnt the promo Psyduck Legal?
darkmt_mike says, "Just got the official answer. It is legal. The MT's were right this time. But I will get them next time."
darkmt_mike smirks.
darkmaster_steve says, "Gengar confuses DMTM sometimes, take's him a while to recover... Don't MIND him..."
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #122 from lance313:
Is location in San Diego set; when will plans start to become finalized for
WCSTS; do you need any local help?
darkmt_mike says, "It is set. I would like a cheese burger and a dozen Maple
Bars please..."
darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #139 from lance313:
Re: 122 - You stated location in San Diego for WCSTS was set. Did you mean just that San Diego was set, or the specific venue was chosen/confirmed? If
so, when will it be announced?
