Pokemon Sundays #3 - No Returning Champions!

-

 

The game that keeps bringing in people

A lot can be said about the Pokemon TCG especially since the big "internet boom" last year that brought back out the collectors, new collectors and even the scalpers. Even with the resurgence of people buying packs it ain't stopping some of the veterans such as myself and newer players from playing the game. 

Our 3rd Pokemon Sunday brought in new players from around the area and we battled it out in a tournament for 6 people with the first finals being a BO3. 



It was fun seeing every one playing different decks especially non-meta ones. We seen an electric deck that runs tapu koko vmax instead of pikarom, a beefed up evolution deck, and we saw the occasional ADP.

This was our first tournament to not feature any of the returning champions from the last two Sundays but we hope to see them soon. Let's get someone to win 3 tournies in a row!

We are getting ready to post sign-ups for our OL Season so hopefully we can bring in more folks as we got 6 potential players.

We will also start working on deck analysis posts so you guys can see what whacky builds we are doing or even us translating a popular deck from Japan. (And we all know how Japan is crazy with their Meta.)

Well this was our post about our Sundays so hopefully for anyone whose is reading, keep enjoying Pokemon


Final showdown

WHO’S THAT TRAINER? – Meet TSN Member – Victor

The man that needs little to no introduction, let me introduce you to Victor. If you ever play or meet Victor for the first time you might think he's nervous and quiet but really he's calm, cool, and collected. As you are sitting there thinking you got an easy win, Victor is calculating every strat possible from the number of cards in his hand. While a monster in his own right, Victor has taken home several locals and also dabs in Gym Leader Challenge.  Victor has been a regular at Odyssey Games where tSn.Pokemon practice at. It wasn't until recently he was interested in joining Team SKYNITE. With his track record, why wouldn't we accept him. He's familiar with the game and he knows the team as well as other players from the local scene. From Southern California, Victor set foot in the game recently much like the other players we know (Be it, returning post-covid or new to the game all together). Victor has what it takes to help Team SKYNITe reach the big league. So...

Changes are coming to tSn.TCG!

-- By Nikki X We have been very quiet in our blog but we have been working behind the scenes to ensure you guys we will come back with more content! We started our youtube channel and it's slowly been getting there. I have finished moving but I'm on a work vacation so I haven't been around to write up some content and Elijah (Your favorite blog writer) has been on a book tour and Victor has been killing it locally. There's also changes coming internally for Team SKYNITE in general. So for a quick note of what to come for the TCG side of things: Esport support for Digimon Card Game and Star Wars Unlimited (In a trial based just to see how it goes) General SKYNITE Merchandise for folks to buy/win during community events (or requests!) More consistent blogs/write ups Attend more Regionals! New Blog Platform (In Discussion) I am planning on migrating over to a different blog platform for more control but that's something that's just up in the air as of right now but...

My Very Own Hot Sauce and Water Blend – Battle Diaries

by Elijah Douresseau     It was another ripe weekend for Pokémon Challenges in the LA and greater LA areas, as the official Regional circuit kicked off in Pittsburgh.    The top-tier meta scene still contains an army of Lost Box decks. As time goes on and expansions…expand the standard landscape, variations of the best decks in format can also increase. And some older versions may resurface with a vengeance (ahem – Giratina, anyone?).    During the registration phase of this Challenge, someone may have heard me say, “Let those Lost Boxes, those Palkias come at me, bro! Heck, give me all the smoke from them Miraidons,” as I decided to play my Quaquaval list I’ve been tinkering with for a couple of months.     Now Quaquaval ex and baby Quaquaval might not have a ton of visibility right now. I don’t know if they ever did. Admittedly, the ex version is probably the most straightforward of the ex starters – not that that is a...
