All in all, I'm really grateful for this game and for this community! Huge S/O to everyone I've played and met this year in the Boston area, to the guys on the discord, and to the friends I've made all over! You guys have made it all worth it! Expect more from me in 2026! (7/7)

Locals finishes by date are next. This really gives me hope. I clearly improved from the beginning of the season to the end. I had way more finishes, and stronger ones at that, in 2025 than in 2024, despite going to significantly fewer events and having a 3 month hiatus. (6/7)

Across all 25 events I played in, these were the decks I chose to play. I always prided myself in not conforming to the meta, but I will grow more playing with it. Sometimes, I'm just shooting myself in the foot trying to make something work when I really need to step back. (5/7)

In total, I went 73-41-8 in games for an average 62.02% winrate. Good place to start, but that's still a far cry from the >70% I'm looking for to consistently get day 2's and top finishes. If I am gonna push next season like I hope to, I need to make it my goal to win more. (4/7)

Locals is another story. I attended 12 challenges and 11 cups, getting pointed finishes at 7 each. I got not only my first cup win in October with Banette Gardevoir but also my second cup win with Zoroark. Boston area is no joke, so I'm very proud of my finishes here. (3/7)

I went to 2 majors this year, earning a 512 and a 1024 finish. Sad that I wasn't able to get another day 2 finish like I did back in January, but I can't be too upset. I gotta do better on my prep for these things going forward if I actually want to compete with the best. (2/7)

2025 Retrospective Thread: #PlayPokemon
Alright, then. 2025, while not my first full season, is my first season with access to regular cups and challenges (western MA was a literal black hole). So, how did it go? I earned a total of 290CP between 60CP from majors and 230CP from locals. (1/7)

Won the Endangered Hobbies Cup today with Zoroark! Loved every game I’ve played with the deck over the past 2 months, and this is where I’ve gotten my list to. Unfair stamp is absolutely the best ace spec - no contest. Sad it dies to Shaymin next set 😞. GGs to opponents! +18 CP #PlayPokemon

R1: Spread Lightning 6-0
R2: Turbo Colorless 6-3
R3: Turbo Colorless 1-0 (donk)
R4: Psychic Good Stuff 6-4

Kill Leaders
Iron Crown: 8
Heatran: 7
Archaludon: 3
Duraludon: 1

Back-to-back wins at Paper Asylum’s GLC monthly with the same 60 as last time! Iron Crown is a supremely messed up card! Boston better bring some 🔥 before I get the hat trick in April!

What if I told you there’s a deck that takes good matchups into all 5 of the top meta threats in PRE standard? 2nd place at the Comicazi Cup with the broken deck! Too bad I was 1 card away from winning game 3 of the finals! GGs to my opponents! +15CP #PokemonTCG #PlayPokemon

Finally sank the time this week to grind from 0 all the way up to Arceus in this awful client. I gotta be honest, it feels better than I thought it would #PokemonTCG

Reps are reps, imo. If you also get to support your local scene and maybe get some store credit out of it, why not?

anytime lol

Wow, this is like a really slow, conditionally effective dusknoir that also dies to dusknoir, can be amped very much, and gives you more limitations on what you can bench.... please just play dusknoir to Vancouver

GLC Monthly at Paper Asylum in Boston, and this time we brought it home with Heated Metal! 3-0 into rainbow colorless, water spread, and fire mill! Iron Crown is absolutely broken and got 11/18 KOs! GGs to my opponents! +$45 store credit

Nah, this card has a top 16 finish from this year. Card is too good

League challenge dub!! This one was in the works for a while! Palkia/Owls is absolutely broken! Hit 3 bad to even matchups, and it didn’t matter! GGs to my opponents, and s/o to the testing group for staying true to the horse! +5CP

The number of times you can actually make this work vs. how badly you want to try it vs. feeling like an absolute genius when it does

To any PTCG players who have jumped ship, this is a great place to start

aight since the owner of X is a literal nazi ima be posting here from now on. cheers!
