I've played in some before, but they're pretty niche and usually are all about a special format, like the Malamar Games.
But USPA does it that way, too, soooo... I would imagine I can find other tournaments that function that way, too

Aha! You've found the key!

I'm very much not making it in time in my reread - I started Way of Kings again last month. Waaaaaayyyy too late lmao

Heck, I'd probably play the rat, myself, but the game doesn't want to give it to me

It's either Pikachu, Articuno, or Mewtwo. Every. Single. Time.

Yoooooooo

This nonsense should be illegal!

I've gone to playing VGC pretty casually for very similar reasons. Family is way more important, and things won't always be this busy!

Absolutely! They both do similar, but different things.
I'm also enjoying how much Pocket feels almost like a throwback to the halcyon days of 1999 in terms of card strength and simplicity of strategy

Couldn't have said it better myself

Absolutely cracked!

This is GOLD

You absolute monster lmao

Oh hey, following over here now, too
