Origins Team Sealed Event. Wow, was it
interesting. 99% of the people who entered hated it. I think me and my team
mate, mystereeman101, were the only ones who actually like the format. Why? One
word.
Togepi.
In fact, when they asked for comments about the
format, psychodad taped two togepi cards to a peice of paper, wrote "I pwn you
fool" on one and "I own Team" on the other, and turned it in. Yes, Togepi was
the most broken card in team HL sealed, followed closely by
Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff EX, Snow Cloud Castform, and Spheal. What do these cards
have in common? Sleep. All of these cards can put one or both defending Pokemon
to sleep for 1-2 enegies. Togepi is the most broken, as it puts both to sleep
for 1 energy. I think the only people who liked these cards were the ones using
them. Me and my partner together had 1 Jigglypuff, 1 Wigglytuff EX, 2 Snow Cloud
Castform, and 2 Spheal. This obviously made us like the format, go 4-1, and get
4th. You're probably wondering why Sleep is broken. You can only flip to wake up
after your and your partner's turn. So if Team 1's player A put Team 2's Player
A to sleep, it would automatically HAVE to be asleep for at least one turn. Yes,
this event was dominated by sleep. I do not remember most of our opponents, but
I know we faced Hyper Eevee and his friend in one round(I think round 3), and
our own friends, ShukuenShinobi and Ron13, in round 4(They beat us). Poison was
also impacted, but for the worse. You only took Poison damage after you and your
partner's turn. Another bad thing, you could not play trainers for your
opponent. With the popularity of sleep, here was one overused quote; "Whoever
goes first wins." Yes, that quote and the word Togepi sum up the Origins Team
Sealed Event.
