In deep sadness, I write this to you. I cannot believe it’s actually happened. If you didn’t know, WotC did not get the license. Pokemon is over.
This game started in December, 1998. A long time ago for most of us. By December, 2003, the game will be gone.
Now of course, TPC could actually make a nice decision with the new company, but I severely doubt it. They might… but that’s a really off chance. Plus, Wizards has (although many disagree with me) run the game EXCELLENTLY… and they’ll be a hard act to follow. Impossible act to follow even.
It’s been great. I’ve enjoyed this game so much. I hope all of you have to. We ALL need to go to the Fan Appreciation Tournament. Let’s go out with a bang. I’m calling for 300 people there. Let’s do it. If you can go, go. If you can’t, make it where you can. This will be our last stand; our last momentous showing before Pokemon fades into the dark.
I will be writing articles until the end of this, folks. Obviously there won’t be a Challenge Series, or anything… I don’t even think there will be a Professors Championship. We saw this coming… it’s horrible that we have to accept it now.
I honestly love you all. I will miss this game… but I will miss the friendships I have made more than anything.
