@ZachLesagePTCG Ok, but seriously, I'm all for 2 Canadian regionals, and an IC if you can support it logically. Chicago is cheap to travel to, and I think that makes it a great choice and why NOLA was bad. Chicago, Orlando, Vegas, those are cities that have affordable travel and should host.

@ZachLesagePTCG Listen, until you've landed on the moon you don't get big events. Its pretty simple.

@ItsPraww @GamingGen Do they even have a say as to dates? I was always under the impression that they were set by TPCI. Do you have a source that says otherwise?

[Robbie Carter @PokeDadRob520]

@HaleObernolte Congrats on your daughter!

[Robbie Carter @PokeDadRob520]

This behavior isn't acceptable and needs called out. You can cheer for someone without booing their opponent. This is a CHILD.

Idk who it was that did it, but shame on you.

Seeing Annabelle make it to the finals two years in a row is something I never dreamed would become reality. I was hopeful, of course; just like every Pokémon trainer and every parent.

Losing in the finals is something we can accept, especially against an exceptional player like Luke. Our kids have experienced their share of losses, and that’s part of competition. What I never expected and what truly broke my heart was hearing people boo her simply for playing the game.

Annabelle didn’t hear/see the negative part of the crowd during her match today, and for that I’m grateful. But hearing it myself has left me questioning whether competitive Pokémon is a healthy environment for her.

What hurts most is that many of the people rooting against her today are people we’ve celebrated alongside. We’ve sung happy birthday to their children, given gifts, congratulated them after great performances, and cheered them on through Regional top cuts and World Championship runs. I completely understand supporting your favorite player. What I struggle to understand is making another child feel unwelcome and ashamed simply for competing.

My daughter has one of the kindest hearts I know. No one could honestly say she has ever intentionally hurt anyone. She approaches this game with sportsmanship, always doing her best while treating others with kindness.

She started playing Pokémon because Jeff showed her how incredible both the game and the community could be. Annabelle is full of joy, compassion, and a carefree spirit, and I’ve always wanted to protect those qualities for as long as possible.

Today was an extraordinary accomplishment and I could not be prouder. She stood on one of the biggest stages in Pokémon, competed with grace, and represented herself exactly as she always has with heart, respect, and courage.

Mommy is so proud. I love you, Annabelle.

@LynnOono As a parent of a junior and a senior, I'm truly horrified for you. I can't imagine booing a child on stage. I hope this doesn't cause you to step away, she is truly talented. I can't imagine how I would feel as a parent.

Just Mikey walking up to @thefleeee at an Ice Cream shop and saying "Game recognizes Game" as fellow Crustle players.

@MommaFitzy It was wonderful meeting you guys! I look forward to catching up at locals and regionals again!

[Robbie Carter @PokeDadRob520]

For 3 years I've gone to regionals with my sons and we've all played. Today I was forced to drop because I wasn't at the VGC area while he was playing. Not sure what this means going forward. Sucks. 😔 was 3-1-1

[Robbie Carter @PokeDadRob520]

@mattchuangg Dude, congrats. I'm freaking thrilled for you.

[Robbie Carter @PokeDadRob520]

@SmartTCG @DragonShield_ No growing energy? Anything you wish you had run?

@OnGaardTV One waterpon is throwing. Hes the best guy in the deckm

@wizzyskeet @WWENewsUpdates2 @tugg_penny1 Listen, I'm not saying he's right, but I know he ain't wrong.

[Robbie Carter @PokeDadRob520]

@Snorlax_Vermont @itsjustnickm Ironically I was just talking about that set we had at evolve all those years ago at league last night where I forgot inteleon was weak to Raikou

@FrostedCaribou Give me micro transactions and a functioning client at this point. Seriously, look at PTCGL compared to Magic Arena or YGO Master Duels and its not even comparable.

[Bou @FrostedCaribou]

I hate that this is the standard for one of the biggest IPs in the world.

Please just scrap this already and give us a real client.

[Robbie Carter @PokeDadRob520]

@AathyPlaysPogo @OnGaardTV Because that doesn't happen in every other city? What about Indy where there was a shooting Saturday night a block away from the venue? Or NOLA that was the murder capital of the world a couple years back? But I'm also sure there are no racists in the south...

[Robbie Carter @PokeDadRob520]

@sylveesimstcg If its not Vegas or Orlando I'll be shocked. Only two cities that can actually support the demand it has

[Robbie Carter @PokeDadRob520]
