I talked to three like-minded women who did well at Regionals about themselves and their views on the Pokemon community.

Interview with 2014 Philadelphia Regional Champion Ryan Sabelhaus “I had the pleasure of traveling to Philadelphia this past weekend with some great friends.

Ever since last summer when I moved to Greenville, South Carolina, I have become great friends with the Sabelhaus brothers.

Both of them are perpetually successful in this game, and it has definitely shown with last weekend…

Pyroar’s Popularity, Interview with Brandon Salazar, the Clock, and Last-Chance Regionals “Pyroar Interview with Brandon Salazar The Clock Last-Chance Regionals Grinching The Playmat Problem Conclusion First things first: Pyroar. Michael Pramawat has been a force in the game for as long as I can remember and he proved his mettle again this past weekend. Pram piloted his straight Pyroar list all the way to the finals. His list, posted on the Pokémon website along with the other semifinalists’, can be found below: It’s not difficult to understand why this deck works.

Florida Ninetales Interview w/ Mike Canaves + Thoughts on Plasma, Escape Rope “Next I’ll go into my choice for Winter Regionals this year. I chose to play Yeti after playing around with the list. The appeal wasn’t in its matchups or in any card in particular, but in that the deck was so solid all around and that it could accommodate all the cards I wanted it to.
