Revisiting an old Friend

Hey people,

I'd like to have some fun here. 

Don't yell at me for doing this, or tell me, this is not a viable deck anymore.

I just want to do this - because I can.

So, I will update my beloved Blastoise deck to the current set in Japan: Phantom Gate.

First I will tell you about the cards I can see in there, and why:

- VS Seeker:

Well, I hope this choice is pretty obvious for you. 

This works well with Battle Compressor, and other discarding mechanics. And also with the many one-of supporter counts will be playing in this deck. 

Being able to play more than 4 Juniper, or N is also a too tempting possibility, to not play this card.

Deck-Choices for Battle Festa

Hey people,

as already stated in my previous article, this one will be about my deck-choice for the japanese Battle Festa in Tokyo in November.

Choices are:

Fighting

A deck, that has the power, to hit for high numbers for low energy-cost.

My favorite build would be the Tyrantrum-version, since it has pretty good matchups all over the current meta. But that build would have a bad time against the new Metal decks, because of Aegilash EX, that can't be attacked by Pokémon with special energy attached. Another build would be Big Basics Garbodor. With a heavy Garbodor line it can do pretty good against Metal and Pyroar and has some really good consistency, so I think thats the way to go.

Battle Festa (バトルフェスタ)

Hey people,

Time for a new article.

Sorry I didn't write one for quite some time, but I had lots of stuff to do here in uni.

This new article is going to be about something some of you might already have heard about:

The japanese Battle Festa (バトルフェスタ) which will be held this fall in the bigger japanese citys.

Maybe you've seen these cards, which people can get there:

Phantom Gate Release

Well,welcome back, for the long awaited article about the new set Phantom Gate (Phantom Force in English).

I'm Hannes bloggin for you, right from Japan about the Pokémon TCG.

I went to the city today, on a special mission:

Buy as much Phantom Gate stuff, as you can find!

And that's, what I did.

I looked up every toy store around, to get, what I wanted, and it was successfull.

As I said in my last article I bought some packs, and of course - more or less - every other Phantom Gate stuff (sleeves, becuase nobody wants deck boxes).

Go ahead and take a look:

Manga MANIAAAAAA!!!

Well, well...

It's time for a new article, isn't it?

So, what have I got for you?

Alright!!! Yes!!!

Let's go!

As you may know by now: This is Hannes, blogging about the Pokémon TCG, - more or less - right from Japan, just for you!

First  week of lessons is over, so I'll give a small review on that, for all the people, that are not so much into the Pokémon TCG.

I got some interesting courses, like "criminal justice in film and literture" or "history of economic thoughts", of course Japanese language course, and some others, more traditional like calligraphy.

And then, there is "MANGA MANIA"!!!

Awesome!!!

Who wouldn't want to be in a course called Manga Mania?!?

What a weekend!!!

Hey guys,

It's Hannes blogging about the Pokémon TCG right from Japan, just for you.

Lots of stuff happened the last few days, and I'm gonna give you a short overview.

Saturday 30.08.

Trip to Akita City. 

I knew there would be a gym challenge near the university at 10:00, but I slept in (happens, if you go to the bar, the evening before.. ^^'). So I was a little bit late, but not too much. I went to the university, but I just couldn't find the shop. So after 2h I got back to the station and decided to get a map, but I couldn't find it on there either.  

I gave up on my initial plan and started to explore the city a bit, it was beautiful.

 

The seaflower field in front of the park. 
Those seeds freaked me out. O______O
