@DanFriedman81 I’d argue that the show did have some of banger episodes (it could also be my own taste) until season 12. Were they the same? Absolutely not, but argue there are a lot of fun episodes in the supposed weirder era

@SunseedJess As a yugioh player whos been playing the game, it’s really sick seeing a top yugioh player improve immensely in Pokemon. Certainly inspiring and hopefully more people will try out other TCG’s!!

Did you catch us this weekend at @CMDRsealed ? We had an absolute blast meeting you, and catching up with old friends!

Thank you everyone for everything! And of course, a huge shout out to Commander Sealed for an amazing event and an even more amazing cause!!! We are so proud to be apart of this and apart of the community as a whole! Thank you!

Played basic box at Baltimore, to proceed hitting crustle, crustle honchkrow to make 2-3. Playing was a bust, but the vibes and @dkeener11 making day 2 was immaculate. 2026 was rough and personal stuff makes it rougher. Inspired, yet deflated, maybe 2027 will be better

Did not play in nearly as many events and my results are obviously showing from my lack of play both in majors/locals. Hard to stay motivated especially when life gets in the way from attending majors. Been playing Edison on DB and it’s been so fun. Looking at you Retro series

@kingdrec1out @teamsamuraix1 Something thats happening rn is all of the current yugioh base sets have had the OG main characters on the pack with new archetypes to the respective character. I think a reboot would 100% be perfect bc we’re showcasing new (old) cards for the ogs and new blood in duelist kingdom

Pult is 32% of the room and I legit hit hydrapple, honchcrow and alakazam. At least won all of the pult matches, sucks the mus were not in my favor :(

STEEL CITY TCG COLLECTORS SHOW!! WE ARE HERE.

Come say hi 🥰

[Brendan Cornell @B_cornell14]

@laineydragonair Yugioh normally will have lunch breaks for a half hour at their events & you’ll be getting your food by the time round 1 starts. It disrupts the flow of the event & unless it’s an hour it wouldn’t be worth it. Imagine another round added onto the end of the day

A clear attempt to try and get the American people to unite by using characters that in universe would never act this way nor stand by the message this video is trying to make….

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸🔥

[Dan_Green @DanGreenVoices]

It came to my attention that the White House used my voice to encourage violence in Iran. Doing so tacitly implicates Kazuki Takahashi’s most beloved contribution, which continues to inspire people to become who they are, and this was presented in a way far removed from the story he was telling. Takahashi died saving others.

Yu-Gi-Oh! is universal, not political. It is disrespectful to present it in any other way.

[DistantCoder @DistantCoder]

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!

[Brendan Cornell @B_cornell14]

@TrifGaming Could not have said it better and the BEST years are late 20’s and in your 30’s.

[Brendan Cornell @B_cornell14]

@FrostedCaribou Oh absolutely! Happy to chat bc I also cannot send you a dm haha

[Alberto Conti @AlbertoContiTCG]

Yesterday at my locals, I participated in both a Yu-Gi-Oh and a Pokémon tournament at the same time, playing two opponents simultaneously

Idk why I did this to myself
