Using Revive on Base Set Feelings
/
So normally I rant on and on about some silly strategy or what cards you should be keeping an eye on but this week I want to get emotional. On Christmas Eve my mother was explaining to my aunts the kind of turnout my game store has for Pokemon events, “Over 90 kids! All older than 16!”. My aunt replied with a statement like “Over cards? Pokamons are still popular?!”. I stepped in and explained to her my draw to the game. I tried to explain what a meta-game was and how the fun of playing competitively and matching wits is challenge. The more I think about it, it is only a small draw that comes from that competitive high. The bigger draw for me is the nostalgia. There is an eight year old Vinnie inside me that still jumps around when I now pull a full art card. He still gets nervous in the thrill of the heat of a Pokemon battle. He still would trade any non-holo for a holo because shiny cards are better. At the end I’m going to post a link to an article by Steve Bogda where he talks about pulling his first Charizard and completing his Pokemon set, its amusing and comforting to know I’m not the only one hanging onto this kind of nostalgia.

Holiday Special: Saturday Sketch
/Merry Christmas Eve/Fifth Day of Hanukkah everyone! Hope you all are having a great Holiday!
This edition of Saturday Sketch will be a Special one because of the Holidays.
There is not only one, but many Holiday “Mostly X-Mas” themed Drawings and Works that fit the part for this edition!
To Start off I bring you a Holiday Raichu Promo Card that was made for a PokéBeach Create-a-Card Competition. The reason for this pick from me is because of the TCG Hype around PKMNcast the last few months.
The Card was created by dolphinluv10 on the PokéBeach Forums, however I found it under the deviant ~KataraWaterbender on deviantART.
I believe the two are the same person, so visit their deviantART and check out their other card works!
Next up we have the Rare Candy Christmas created by the deviantART user ~dragofyre7 .: http://fav.me/d2g2v3x :
To me this image shows what could happen if you Overindulge on Christmas dinner.
I enjoy Cyndaquil hilarious shocked eyes after the evolutions.
So as a reminder, eat the delicious looking foods however don’t eat till you end up like Snorlax!
Still with me here? Great!
Almost done!
Here we have the Black and White Christmas.
To me this symbolizes enjoying the holidays with the people close to you, be near or far this holiday season be sure to let your relatives or friends know that you wish them a Happy Holiday.
This was created by the deviant *Delano-Laramie
Check out this user if you enjoy this type of art style, they have many more like it on their page!
And last but not least, we have Merry Charmings, by the deviantART user ~FishFoundation.
We have got Pikachu, Azumarill, Spinda ,Plusle and Minun together enjoying the Holiday Seasons together.
I feel as if this one expresses the joy and happiness that we should all feel during the holidays.
Well now that that’s all through, I feel as if I have overstayed my welcome in a way, So without further ado, I will leave you with a song to prepare for tomorrow Morning, That is for you who celebrate Christmas!
I hope you all have a great Holiday!
Best Wishes From Kay, Your Saturday Sketch Editor!
AOTW: Thick Fat

‘Twas two days before Christmas, and all through the site, the pokénerds were training Drillbur and Magnemite. Jay shattered his gems and Travis wrote rarities, while Steve was recording the show (sans grammatical clarity). As for me, finding a holiday-themed Ability on which to give advice, has proven tricky but it should suffice. So friends, get comfortable in the seat upon which you’ve sat, because this is Ability of the Week: Thick Fat!
Rare Article: 3 Teambuilding Tips
/
I like to think that teambuilding is 75% of what makes or breaks a match. Sure, you can play with technical perfection, but if your team isn't up to snuff, that win will continue to elude you. You can breed six perfect Pokémon, but if they don't work together, you're hosed. So, today I bring you three helpful tips for making a team.AOTW: Drizzle/Drought/Sand Stream/Snow Warning

Remember this thing? Pokémon of the Week articles? It's been a while since we've had one, so I thought I'd give you all a holiday present by writing one. I know what you are thinking. "But, Travis! You are supposed to only write Rare Article!" Well, guess what? YOU CAN'T PUT ME IN A BOX. I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!
Woah. That got a little heated. Let's cool things down with Cyrogonal, shall we?
