I took two weeks off from Pokémon and honestly I had the more motivated to play. The main reason I took a break because the deck I was maining wasn't as good an honestly I might just go back to the older build and enjoy Pokémon again.

Re-watching this after Worlds, I can't help but think Jesse Parker would have won Breakout Player of the Year with the addition of his Worlds finish.

Unrelated but I'm a huge FG player, been grinding for years and every 6-8 months I take a month long break from the genre to like, deep clean my house, organize stuff, play other games, etc. Every time I come back, there's a derusting period but my performance ceiling is always higher coming back to the game with a fresh head. Nothings worse than grinding a game you hate, because it's "what you do".

I still trust in Banette Gardevoir....it will come through in Gdansk.

Every team can take the season off unless the Warriors and Celtics. Steph Curry is going off this season and he's getting his 5th ring. Yes I'm a warriors fan and yes I'm probably delusional as well

Touching grass is great advice. It’s a game; if you aren’t enjoying it, do something else that sparks joy

I lasted all the way to the pack openings. Do I get help?

Heyoo! love the pod! I dmed ciaran on discord to see if yall would possibly want some graphics design work done! i can do like stream/podcast layouts & thumbnails or whatever else yall might need. would be so rad to do some work with yall :)

If there were chess clocks, nobody would be slow playing.

Congrats on the Top Cirian. Lugia gang in the house. Nothing but the best at your futures tourneys

The absolute GOATS👑

Huge congrats on the big finish brotha and excited for you to take this next step! Wish you the best of luck!

Toronto regionals is about to be my first regionals, could you talk about what is appropriate to call a judge for?

The only thing I wish is that Terapagos could hit a smidge more in damage, but that may be asking for too much lol or Atleast a more reliant way to hit slightly bigger numbers

Is that a framed mew vmax deck in the back 😂

I think of that woman saying "you left yo' moms in the hood" every time I hear Ciaran or Aneil use Toronto slang

congrats on the new opportunity and leaving your job, best of luck!

lemme get dat whoppa this wednesday fam🍔

I completely agree with your opinion on Banette/Gardevoir. Its only bad matchups are Iron Thorns and Gardevoir, and neither of those decks are very popular at all currently (especially with Lost Box on the rise), and the Lugia matchup is the only one that's not at least 70-30. I think it's the best positioned deck in the meta currently. My locals are going to be in for it this weekend....

Good shit homie 🎉. A pleasure meeting you

Apologies to Ciaran for recommending the Najee fade before his 95% percentile career efficiency game. Hope Devonta did enough to still get the W

Great player Ciaran, congrats

Hello

It’s really dissapointing how quickly standard went down the drain with the new prevalence of dusknoir, ngl

So I was the bad guy submission: so I was at my locals I was playing a rouge control deck (lost origins boof with all the stellar crown stuff) vs gardi and my opponent plays iono and calls a judge because I didn’t offer a cut when I put my hand to the bottom of the deck and that resulted in a game tie making it were I didn’t make top 8. So the next week I bring bird and hit the same guy when he was on his win and in so I slow play the hell out of him so we tie again so he doesn’t make it…was I the bad guy

For the changing of damage placement scenario: once they declared the targets and prize cards have been taken, the attack phase is complete so the damage is locked in. They would not be allowed to change targets after their opponent drew for turn especially with the extra knowledge gained from taking any prize cards. (If they didn’t take any prize cards maybe you could be more lenient as the opponent but legally they should not be allowed to change it)

The region lock thing is just a denial that Pokémon worlds invite is essentially pay to win. When you realize that there is really no reason to region lock them. Also Canada regionals are the worst because it's hard to get into the country, they don't even let people in if you've had a dui

I love the commercial so much

Today I learned Aneil is a great producer and also pretty wealthy. That commercial was sick tho

Cinematic perfection. LEMME GET DAT

I obviously won the cup because of the shift gear. I was playing ancient box and got a round one bye

Very interested in the sleeves. Pretty expensive to get out in California- would you say they are closer to Ultra Pro or Dragon shield in thickness? Also, are they a matte window? I'm an ultra pro matte stan, but if these are close to those with better quality, I'm in

That is the best sleeves commercial I've seen.

You can't modify the amount of points for SPE , for the simple reason that some SPE have more then a thousand people attending, like Utrecht The only reason SPE are not regionals are due to local laws not allow cash prizing, france used to have SPE Paris until the law changed and it became a Regional in Lille For TPCi special are regionals just no cash and so they have the same points

If peoria can get a regional I'm sure brampton can get one too

Bumbbbaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hey guys, I listen to these on Spotify. Is there anyway you can make the volume louder? I’ll have my AirPods turned up all the way and can still barely hear you guys and I don’t have that problem with other podcasts. No hate just love to listen and hoping it can get fixed!

Might've missed it, but y'all pulling up to Louisville?

The discord link in the description doesn’t work.

Epic ad, Aneil. I have now been convinced to purchase Endgame sleeves. Also, the top 8 Gardevoir list from Lima was similar to Henry Chao's Baltimore list. It played the rare candy and research, and I believe it had the secret box as well. I'm not as high on Terapagos as you are. While the deck is very strong going first, it loses to a lot of decks going second, and even when it goes first, it still isn't great into Dragapult or Regidrago. I would rather play a deck that doesn't rely so heavily on the coin flip but still has a good matchup spread, like Henry Chao Gardevoir, Dragapult Dusknoir, or Regidrago. I would even play Palkia Dusknoir over Terapagos, because even if you go second with that deck, Greninja ex can help you come back from a losing position.

commercial went crazyyyy LEMME GET DAT

He had to play without briar and played a 4th buddy poffin instead

I'd pay good money to watch an episode of shift gear where you actually do hit the bong 😂❤
