Pokémon TCG & Video Game League Dublin

Buzzthebatgirl · 31-08-2010 12:02pm #1

I'm very proud to annouce that I've got the go ahead to run an officially regignised Pokémon League in Gamer's World in Dublin City.

We are planning on running the League say 3 weeks out of 4 and have a tournament on the 4th week. We should hopefully be kicking off in the second weekend of October.

The League supports both Trading Card Game (TCG) players and Video Game players. We have some prize support for Video Games, but we have more for TCG. We will have a cost to enter, but it shouldn't be more than €5 per week to cover costs.

While I'm waiting for the League pack to arrive I need a few details from you the players. I just need and idea on what days suit players to run Pokémon. Some days are unsuitable with the shop as they have other TCG running.

Please show your support and join in the fun

Sounds great, I'll definitely be along as much as I can. I'd only be taking part in the video game but maybe if I get my skills up in the TCG

I'd say weekends would be the best bet for people to attend.

What a great idea, good work getting it organised! I'm in for the video game so long as it's on weekday evenings or at weekends.

mulciber · 31-08-2010 5:03pm

That sounds great but I'll only be able to attend every now and then as I live in the south-east. Weekends seem to be the most suitable times. ^^

Craguls · 31-08-2010 10:28pm

Sounds great! Would there be any specific rules for the video game tourneys? Tiers I imagine?

Wobbuffet · 01-09-2010 12:33am

Awesome, well done Buzz, this sounds so cool. Weekends would suit me best.

Nom Con has taught me that the majority of players haven't a clue on tiers. Video game battles during League days will simply be run on what both players decide on.

Beat the other guy, earn a stamp, stamps equal prizes.

The last time I spoke with the shop dude, he said he would give me prize support I. The form of Pokemon TCG boosters. This could be an easy way for people to get into the TCG part and earn the TCG promos that will be up for grabs. The TCG is simple to learn, I'll teach anyone that is willing to give it a shot

I'll give it a shot. ^^

I've spoken with the shop dude and we have arranged that the first night will be on Thursday the 7th of October starting at 6pm.

Please bring your DS and game/s, Pokémon TCG cards if you have any, €5 for entry fee and a birthday card for me (it's my birthday that day

).

If you don't know how to play the TCG I can teach you and you can practice using my training deck. It's nice and easy to pick up

I'll post up reminders closer to the day, remember a League is a casual come and play evening. Hopefully we can get Leagues running every week with a Tournament every 4th week or so.

Thursday is the best day for the shop at the moment, but we can always change it in the future

man i hate livin in kildare now

mulciber · 02-09-2010 2:51pm

I probably won't be going because I have no way of getting up to Dublin because I live in the south east abd it's also a school night. =(

popzmaster · 04-09-2010 2:50pm

Sweet!! In VG's will it be flat battles or open level? and I was thinkin of playin TCG as well but id have to fish around the attic for my cards and id imagine i wouldnt get very far considering the latest cards i have are Neo Discovery :eek:

The Video Game battless will be decided by each player prior to starting a match. The League is casual, not strict like a tournament, but standard things like no Hacked (cheated) Pokemon apply.

As for TCG bring your own cards if you have them, we accept all formats to begin with and move on to newer sets once everyone has earned a few boosters and can built decks with the newest cards. The TCG has better prize support like Scholarships, clothing and random awesome stuffs, so we'll aim to built up a strong force with the TCG

On my birthday? Just come the next week. Leagues are an ongoing thing unlike tournaments. Think of a League like a meet up with perks

Ha, I know there'll be more. Just depressing that I'd miss the first one, ya know?

popzmaster · 08-09-2010 10:52am

Man can't wait! Furious training goin on yea!:D

wedgelington · 09-09-2010 12:01am

i might be able to make it hopefully, would be a shame to miss the first one and the chance to test my new team additions just before the eirtakon tournament

Buzzthebatgirl · 19-09-2010 7:22pm

Seems there has been a hiccup in the system and we wouldn't be getting the latest promo cards and patches for our League. We will instead get 4 different promo cards (including Snorlax and Uxie) and DS skins instead, result IMO!

wedgelington · 19-09-2010 7:31pm

i was hoping to get skins actually, they look sweet

CianRyan · 19-09-2010 8:25pm

Going to miss the first one but will try to get to these after that.

That Thursday is both my birthday and the day before I head of on tour with my band.
A lot of preperation is a sure thing on that day, so if I do make it I will more than likely be late. Haha

popzmaster · 20-09-2010 8:53am

So we start on the 7th yea?

SamIAmNot · 21-09-2010 2:12am

I'm currently on crutches so I won't be able to make it in :L This sucks... I've been really looking forward to trying out my tcg deck

If you think you can make it on the night, I will make sure you get one of the very limited seats at the shop for the whole evening.

Get Well Soon ^_^

Linoud · 28-09-2010 12:56am

Might try check it out, along with a few friends. We'd be more interested in the Videogaming aspects, as we dont play the TCG. Might pop along if we have time.

Wobbuffet · 03-10-2010 7:45pm

I got word that my college lectures this Thursday evening are cancelled so I'll be able to go this week! I'mlooking forward to it

Buzzthebatgirl · 11-10-2010 12:02pm

Anyone who would like to come this week and doesn't have any Pokemon cards, don't dispare! I've got a big 'ld box o' commons and uncommons that want to be part of some new decks

wedgelington · 11-10-2010 12:35pm

god damn it i completely forgot about the first meeting, i probably won't be able to make this weeks one either since its so close to eirtakon

That's okay, just come when you can. That's the good thing about it being a casual "tournament"

TheChrisD · 14-10-2010 1:33pm

I have a Paranormal Society EGM, I have some work for Eirtakon to do, and I need to up around 7am tomorrow to start moving large TVs from 4th floor apartments to the Helix.

Not me tonight.

Atavan-Halen · 14-10-2010 4:33pm

I'll be there! I'll need to bring my ds charger though. It's been on standby for the past 2 days :P

Buzzthebatgirl · 14-10-2010 4:43pm

Oh and I've got a big 'ld bunch of cards to donate for deck building!

Atavan-Halen · 14-10-2010 11:13pm

Kicking arse with the Kyogre/Groudon cards was awesome!

Tut :cool:

And everyone who didn't go missed out on seeing legend cards in action...bet your all kickin yourselves now huh? :P

Buzzthebatgirl · 15-10-2010 11:21am

Last nights turn out was dispointing, but the epicness of Groudon/Kyogre Legend cards more than made up for it.

For those of you who don't know Legend cards are 1 or 2 Pokémon spread over two hyper rare cards. I have the Groudon half and Avatan got the other half in his booster yesterday. That was an OMG moment

I'll be there, with the eReader for some mini-game scanning fun. Might play a deck with cards that have extra eReader attacks for the laugh :P

Atavan-Halen · 19-10-2010 7:55pm

I'll also be in attendance

Wobbuffet · 21-10-2010 1:23am

I hope to be there also

_Godot_ · 05-11-2010 9:45am

What time does it usually end by? And can I just buy a couple of starter decks and mix them and use that to play with?

SamIAmNot · 05-11-2010 10:37am

Well last night, everyone was more or less there till 10 o'clock. Then we had people (like me) who had to get buses home.

haha Raticatte FTW!!

Raven88 · 24-11-2010 12:55pm

Is this still happening as its been a while since anyone posted?

SamIAmNot · 24-11-2010 1:18pm

Yeah its still happening as far as I know. But we've entered the Christmas season so people are busy with school/college exams, work, and christmas shopping hence why its so quite around here...
