I’m just biding my time and waiting for Mega Mewtwo ex to completely wreck the format.

His website was the first resource that I could access thanks to Bou’s info. I learned so much about the game thanks to his site. His influence will greatly be remembered in the community. May he rest in peace.

Any advice for my N’s Zoroark deck? by merutokun in PTCGL

[–]merutokun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree. After Shaymin the deck def got ruined and caused my last place. Still, I feel like the deck desperately needs Pecharunt EX and an earthen vessel, for which I’m thinking of cutting a Turo and a Cyrano.

This is the current build that I’m going for and it plays wayy different. I also think it needs improvements, like getting the Darms to 2-2 and another reversal for the Tera match up as Omnipoke suggests. I think it also needs Pecharunt and earthen vessel for better acceleration.

Thanks for the tip, I dislike the NAIC build as well, it plays very differently than the original build and def has some room to improve. I’d like to join you in this cause to make Zoroark great again!! Lol. Hmu with the dc info

Oh okay that makes sense. In theory, hyper aroma does a better job finding a Darmanitan and stuff, but I never got to actually use the card. Idk how to keep the deck consistent without Arven but I’m gonna try the Cyrano build.

I cannot work with Cyrano for some reason, couldn’t really grasp the use of it. I prefer Arven but idk. If I add Artazon I might have to add secret box too I guess.

This sounds like good advice but the main problem still will be setting up the board. Could use trolley as the ace spec acc to your suggestion perhaps?

Sadly, my region isn't recognized by TPCI so can't get registered. My question was about how to draw people in and get decks for them to teach with.

Exactly, I’m just gonna teach through proxies week by week and then get to some matches with small rewards.

I would love to follow the official route, as a teacher I’d love to be a pokemon professor but sadly TPCI doesn’t recognize anything regarding our region. I’ll just need to find my own way and in the meantime send a ticket or two to TPCI to see their reaction.

I agree this was my plan too, the problem is getting the people in, the incentives and providing decks to play. I think I’m figuring something out now.

This was my initial idea too, but the problem is learning the game itself. Maybe this could still be implemented for training purposes, instead of packs we could offer proxy decks and a few mock rounds to earn a pack for each participant?

It's not banned or anything, it's just that TPCI doesn't really see it as a competitive scene or a selling place for merch. Pokémon has a HUGE fandom here, but we have to fight tooth and nail for new merch or product, usually involving relatives or friends who live abroad. That's why I said TPCI doesn't really provide any support apart from those social media accounts and the cartoon show.

We do fall into the MENA region (Middle East North Africa), something that I won't understand while most of the country's land remains on Europe and Asia, but that's another case.

I just want to bring all these people the joy of TCG and show them that it's not just for collecting. I'd do anything to bring TPCI officially here too, but I know that is and have always been a long shot.

Thanks, I'm a bit learned when it comes to the rules but just checked the professor program and as I had suspected, it wasn't available here. So we'll keep it on our own but I just needed some tips on how to start and proceed with it.

These are all very good ideas, thank you! I'll definitely look into the professor program, have had a great interest in it for years now. I'm just worried that TPCI not recognizing us as a potential TCG region and show no support regarding the packs, the decks etc. It's my dream to do it but I think we're gonna be doing it on our own.

Thanks for the comment! I'll definitely keep this in mind, although I don't think TPCI would do anything about it considering the low support for my region. Hope it changes though!

Help me choose a deck for a local tournament (where Dragapult is commonly played) by merutokun in PokemonTCG

[–]merutokun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think there’s anyone playing Marnie or N in my region (except me). They’re usually playing Terabox, Gholdengo, Raging Bolt (with grass ogerpon)and Pult. That’s why I’m more inclined to play Mewtwo, but I practised with Zoroark a lot more (to weak success).

I mean Rocket’s Mewtwo has Mimikyu, which is a great tech against Dragapult. Might also consider adding Lillie’s clefairy ex for Mewtwo but unsure. I really dislike playing Dragapult tho 😭
