Hey Pojo!!!  I have a rant for you people!!!

   Card shops are horrible!!!  Have any of you spent BIG bucks on a
really rare holo?  Tried to sell it for a decent price to a card shop?
Turned down? Ripped off?  At card shops you are either a.] Ripped off
when they trade you b.] Turned down c.] Offer you 3 dollars for the holo.
 Yes , that is what happens , sad but true. Just trade or sell to people
at the League if you have to. I was at a card shop before , when this
little kid pulls a Venusaur out of his Base Set booster pack. He takes it
carefully into a high quality card holder. He runs up to the register
where he sees a sign that reads , " WE ARE PAYING TOP DOLLAR FOR VENUSAUR
, CHARIZARD , BLASTIOSE..."  The list goes on down.  With a smile on his
face he says , " I have a mint Venusaur here , how much will you pay for
it?" The kid has a strange look on his face as the man answers. He runs
over to me. "Girl , how much is this card worth? The card shop guys will
give me a booster or three dollars." My face is frozen. * Three dollars
for a mint holo Venusaur , what are they thinking?*  The kid and I walk
over to their selling case , we peer into it. I point out they are
selling a beat-up old Beedrill for 5 dollars. They kid says this place is
a rip off and he walks out. See people? Never try selling at card shops
for the above reasons!!!

   People who hate on coin flips.  Someone please tell me why are they so
bad?  They keep the game from being boring!! How would you like it if you
automatically got poisoned , paralyzed , asleep , or confused? Or would
you rather just do 20 , when you could do up to 40 , 60 , or 80 damage???
 Please stop hating on coin flips. They keep they game action packed and
fun to watch!!

  The TV Show.  I know most of you people are like , " Why is she ranting
on an innocent little children show?"  I'll tell you why . What value
does it give children?   " I can win if I know the right people to power
up the [insert bad word here] uped Pikachu." The only reason Ash and his
Pikachu have all those badges is that Brocks dad powered up the stupid
little rat.  He also got most of his badges due to other stuff , like
saving gyms from exploding yada yada yada. Get this kid to evolve his
Squirtle and Bulbasaur , puhhlezzz!!  He thinks hes top knot until his
friend [note high sarcasm] Gary comes around. Then he fells like the
loser he is. The show is only worth watching when you favorite Pokemon
are on that week. Enough said.

  MOST of the kids at the League.  I mean where I go , there are a wave
of 6-12 year olds swarming from table to table looking to trade or
battle[ which they can't do either may I add] . There was the girl ,
maybe 11 , who had a hundred fake card [ no really , almost all her cards
were counterfeit.] I liked seeing some of the cards. They made me laugh.
She said she'll trade me 1st Ed Beedrill and 1st Ed Electrabuzz for my
1st Ed holo base Blastiose .  I laughed and walked away. Also all those
kids who cannot stick to 1 tcg. Dragon ball Z finds its way into my
League!!! I really hate all these cheesy knock-offs. Pokemon was original
and fresh , that is why its been number 1 for a while now. No other
knock-off is going to get as popular as Pokemon. Dragon ball Z is cheese
ball!!! All Japanese Anima looks like their characters. Please stick to 1
tcg!!!

  Parents!!! You can't live with and you can't live without them. But for
real though , many TALENTED and SMART children playing the Pokemon TCG
today wouldn't rip anyone off.  When adults play , they say ," You have
to announce the Pokemon Power for it to keep working!" Being the nice
person I am , went along with the jerk. I won . Then there are the ever
so popular Trading Adults. When I first started playing Pokemon , very
few adults were trading or interrupting trades. But once Pokemon was
giant , all these adults come up and swarm on your trades. I hate when
they do that!! My dad goes with me and my sister to the league , but
doesn't trade or play . He makes sure none of or stuff gets stolen , that
is it. He doesn't swoop down like a bat on our trades. He doesn't scream
"YOUR CHEATING !!" to opponents. He had to get the Gym leaders to get
this little brat from following me to the street when she saw I had her
favorite No 2 card. Oh well......
