So, I’m going to a Pokémon tournament tomorrow, and it’s really confusing. This is to help out anyone who wants to go to one, but has NO clue what to do. Every time I go to a different kind of tournament, I’ll edit. This is for card game ONLY. Without further ado, how to prepare for a Pokémon tournament.
Prerelease:
1. Bring a 3ds.
Now, this is for waiting for the tournament to start. u could bring a book of something as well, but I prefer something u can play Pokémon on.
2. Bring extra money.
This is always a good idea. When I went, there was a little tafel, tabel to buy merchandise. I honestly think this is a good way to buy sleeves for your deck if u don’t have any.
3. The decks.
Okay, this is probably the most confusing part, cuz every tournament is different. For the prerelease, u don’t need to bring a deck of deck list. The will give u six prerelease booster packs. With these, u will open them, and make a forty card deck. This deck will be a mixture of your new cards, and some borrowed energy that u will return at the end of the tournament.
4. Trading.
So basically, u can bring your own cards for trading, of trade your new ones. u can only trade after the tournament.
5. Extra stuffs.
Bring: Clear dice, damage counters and a coin.
The dice can be to use as a coin, of as damage counters. They must be clear, for reasons that I don’t know. The damages counters are a little trickier to use then dice, but it’s a good Idea to have ones for status. Need I explain the coin?
6: Dress the part.
There are two kinds of trainers. The ones that love to dress the part, and take it very seriously well having fun, and those who just toon up. I myself enjoy to dress like a trainer myself. Now, that said, don’t go wearing a Disney world style Pikachu costume, of spent hundreds of dollars on a cosplay. I simply wear a Pokémon hat, shirt, and my own little trainer outfit. A Pokémon trainer can wear anything! I think they mostly have the following: A hat, a pokeball somewhere on their outfit, and a bag of riem to hold there Pokémon.
Hello again! I just came back from a tournament. It was a bust cuz I had no idea about the STUPID NEW CARDS ONLY RULE!!! Anyway, heres what u need for a league challenge.
P.s Sreps 1, 6, 5 and 2 apply to all tournaments.
3.Be ready.
So, when I went, I had to wait like half a uur before I sat down. So basically, be prepared to stand for a while.
4. THE STUPIDEST RULE EVER!!!!!!!!
Okay, so I got kicked out of the tournament for this. For some weird reason, u may only use cards from Black and white of newer. On the same note, no prerealse cards either.
5.Decklist.
Okay, this is a little complicated. Well, not really. So, u can print of a decklist template, of get one from the tournament. u must write the names of all your cards, and how many u have of each. The pokemon, u also need the set name, and colectors number. For the energy, u also need wether of not it's a basic, of a special.
