@SunseedJess Game is not that easy as people think

Attended my very first Pokémon regional as a spectator, here’s what I observed (from a Yu-Gi-Oh player’s POV):

- The setup for streams is phenomenal. Konami could learn a LOT from TPCI in terms of this. Would love to see Konami implement seperate streams for Advanced and Genesys that run alongside each other, very cool.

- The crowd diversity is night and day with yu-gi-oh. There are kids, women and parents attending, participating and enjoying themselves. A far cry from Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments who have like 99.9% men in their late 20s in terms of attendance.

- Pokémon players smell just as bad as Yu-Gi-Oh players. On multiple occasions I caught a whiff of something that made me feel unwell.

- I can’t speak much about tournament organization because I didn’t play, BUT something that really stood out to me is that they used different colored tablecloths to depict which tables were for TCG, VGC & GO which was super cool. Feels like Konami could do this to clearly designate the seperation between main event and side events. Otherwise the event seemed to run smoothly.

- Overall the vibe seemed more jolly. People seemed to be more happy to be there than people attending Yu-Gi-Oh YCSes do.

- Pokémon REALLY pushes their IP (which is a good thing). Incredible to me how anywhere I look there’s a very recognizeable monster from the brand, they really make sure you know you’re at a Pokémon event the entire time. Not like Yu-Gi-Oh who puts a banner of Ty-Phon at the entrance and calls it a day. This is a MAJOR point Konami needs to step up on. YCSes don’t feel like a grand celebration of Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon regionals do.

- The commentary (for VGC which is what I mostly watched) was phenomenal and ENTHUSIASTIC! This is a big deal, most Yu-Gi-Oh commentators don’t make you feel like what you’re watching is hype. Konami should take notes and instruct their commentators to do the same (I mean this for some, not all commentators in Yu-Gi-Oh, we know who i’m talking about.)

Overall, even though I was just a spectator and didn’t even play at all, I enjoyed myself a lot. Konami needs to start taking notes, genuinely. Step it up!

@ev1706155 @GabrielCF_TCG Es ridículo que alguien que ha jugado a las cartas crea que es posible memorizar el deck después de 9 riffle shuffle y entregar el deck al opp y que el baraje no hay manera humana

[Andres Torres @Atorrestcg]

@azulgg Imagine they ban all the cards that says you can't play the game
