It was an amazing weekend playing in the Pokémon TCG Regional Championship. So cool that it was hosted in the hometown Pittsburgh! Had my best showing yet with a record of 9-3-3 to place 64/1778 players. Shout out to @teamjunctiontcg for helping me get to this point!

@UncleBlaziken Awesome run! Great to meet you. R1 was by far my most enjoyable round. That poison typhlosion seems neat! 👀

@SportsCardJunct What if I like the one on the left more? Should I let Mewtwo tan for a bit?

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@brookehorse Congrats!

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@TbgJake Never knew this site existed, but it's pretty cool!

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@TbgJake Every time I play that deck I say the same thing. "I'm not smart enough to play this deck" is my go to. So fun though.

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@tcrouty98 As happy I am for you that you took the win, I'm a little sad you beat Banette 👻. Congrats!

@TbgJake Stores in the area, and all over, need to take note from this. Transparency on prizing is honestly more important to me than quantity.

@Mellow_Magikarp One thing I do before every event is show a chart showing how much we take in entry for each event, how many packs that entry buys for the prize pool, and how it's distributed because it really sucks to play an event and find out *after* the fact the prizing sucks.

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@DrThumping Miraidon honestly looking fun next format.

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@AdamCaracciolo The melted cheese is a nice touch.

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@TbgJake Oh, I definitely sympathize with the sitting duck feeling this format. Fingers crossed something better comes along 🤞

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@Oupas327 This is absolutely wild. Guess Pittsburgh got a regional this year after all.

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@AdamCaracciolo I'd say this is me at this point. That being said, I don't even care about points this season. Cups/Challenges just bring out a higher level of competition, which is what I like in this game.

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@tcrouty98 Can you meta manipulate charizard to tier 2 for me? And push snorlax to 1 while you're at it 😝

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@PittPokePod @WatchWhimsy @Penucks1 @SportsCardJunct Thank you both for all you have done, especially for our local scene! Very thankful that Pokémon introduced me to you both! Amazing that a card game can generate friendships the way that it does!

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@Oupas327 Best of luck this weekend!

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@AdamCaracciolo One of my favorites!

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@cordy_fox Yay! Congrats, Brooke!

[Colton Ames @ColtonAmes]

@tcrouty98 Off to a great start to your season! Good stuff. Congrats
