[nicolebmoviesFTW2]

The great thing about the Pokemon card game is that you don't have to speak the same language to play with other people.

[ChiTownBullzzz21]

[nyg1781]

they used to have tournaments like this at the toys r us in the town next to mine but they stop doing them about 10 years ago

@TheHyphon, Ucouldn't be further from the truth, I my self am 24 years old, and play the TCG competitively, I have a (serious) girlfriend and have been in a-lot of other relationships in the past, Most people who play the game on this level are really great people with families and girlfriends and numerous things in there lives.ThatSaid The Pokemon TCG on this lvl is filled with nothing but the best of the best, and getting to play on this caliber is composed of practice similar to any pro sport

[xxELFOXYxx]

@curri

[Curri3Saan]

@rebirth34789q $100 ? Then you'll be my official retailer for Pokemon things with this price...I managed to pay me the trip from South of France to Paris to attend our National VGC and only the go and back trip cost me $200...Add to that all the necessary things for the day (underground, food, etc) and that makes a $300 day... :/

[qweboost23]

[ursuss100]

@qweboost23 I started tournaments this year in France and was really surprised by that too. We often have players aged 40+...amazing.

[qweboost23]

[gallademan12]

I want a scholarship T-T

[OriginalProdigiez]

I wonder if these kids feel like geeks carrying country flags to represent pokemon.

[ButtonSwab]

Well, some people's hobbies are quite interesting. & when you have a hobby you often take it seriously. As for example you may have a coin collection or your a stamp collector, these people take it just as serious. Respect. :P

[Raquaza101]

i was in the finals one year and was about to win and he brings out a pikachu i was like OMG i only 2 pokemon left and there both water

[pantoja535]

[uchihaability]

these kids should be treated with great respect for ever figuring out how to play this stupid card game.



[julezlukey]

First thing I want to point out...I love how Japan is first in line xD

Second, no one in this world is too old or "too cool" for Pokemon!

[BleachAnime2010]

This looks so totally awesome...

[DriestBiscuit]

Must be hard to play someone who speeks a different language

[Dimtheod12]

Did greece participated too?

[TrainerDerek]

Why do they show the Junior division... The masters (Born before 1995) is much more intense. Most players are in their 20's.

[Laxteen10]

they actually make a big deal about this

[mainewilderness]

wow 490 pokemon. i remember back when there was 150 haha

[TheeDelibird13]

@mainewilderness now theres more lol, but yeah i remember too, the first gen is still the best to me

[gorrilaunit99]

daaaaaaaaaaaamn that most be so complicated for the internationals to battle eachother and read their cards x.x

[pisswizard]

I once went into a comic shop where a trading card game was in progress and the place was reeking of BO and farts so I imagine the smell there must have been totally nauseous.

[LuckyMolex3]

Lol at 4:23, extremely smart potential college professors debating on pokemon instead

[rminitials]

@LuckyMolex3

LOL XD

[Garother]

pokemon was cool until they went over 300 pokemon.

[ihanvittu123]

Finland was first bitches

[Demon00ko00die]

people scared of me i have tree god -w-

[Soronrocket]

I lol at some people's naivity! If you don't like it, don't watch it or comment. Simple as. Jeez, I wonder sometimes what it would take for people to be nice to others these days. Just because you are not into what somebody else is, does not give you the right to insult them or put them down.

[Jordanjailface]

Major LOL at all the 'Athletes' marching in all awkwardly/proudly with their flags. I was ashamed & embarassed to see my countries flag assosiated with this ahaha.

it's not quite a match to the 2008 Beijin Olympics opening ceremony ...

[CLAYON19]

This would be awesome if only they used real Pokemon.. not faggot card games!

[TylerHulsey]

at 4:58 i swear i heard him say justin bieber

[PelienKuningas]

OMG! I saw Finland!

[hurrderpsherp]

[bambibethy18]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha omg wow this is sad as much as i love pokeon im happy to say im not this insane hahahahahahhaha

[alisean08]

gay...

[fezzyness]

these people are losers, not because that they're in the competition, but because of the amount of money they've spent on a card game

[darknintendoxavgn]

@fezzyness no i play this and yugioh it does not make us losers we just have a hobbie try geting one

[fezzyness]

@darknintendoxavgn oh i forgot to mention i do have a hobbie, it's called playing a sport, it keeps me in shape, rather than spend hundreds of dollars so i can sit in and chair play cards.

[darknintendoxavgn]

@fezzyness so you plays sports so what? i play football play video games and play yugioh i also go out on my bike allot does that make me a loser? no it does not

[fezzyness]

@darknintendoxavgn Spending hundreds of dollars on shiny pieces of paper doesnt make you a loser, my bad. (SARCASMMMM)

[darknintendoxavgn]

@fezzyness did i say say i spend all that money on cards ?no.all i am saying so what if people do spend there money on cards just leave them alone

[fezzyness]

@darknintendoxavgn so what? theres a difference between a hobby and a complete and utter waste of time. Some people need to truth to wake them up, so they can realize what a pain it was to constantly ask their parents to buy them cards. I used to have cards, i gave them away, i used to love them, i see how stupid it was spending money on cards. I can choose whether to leave them alone or not.

[darknintendoxavgn]

@fezzyness well what you think is a waste of time is what you think.i don't care.and lol any way i can chose when to stop buying cards i don't spend that much money on cards i just like to play the game.ma i maybe i got a starter deck for £5 and just use playing that.so i am a loser for that some might find it a waste of time to play football as you are just running around kicking a ball.

[DudeOfTheWeek]

don't people have better things to do?

[VieTRaVeR]

@DudeOfTheWeek

noooooooooooooooo!!! lol

[josephthehedgehog451]

[Neylonx]

@chickenhero5 yeh, the actual competitors are just kids and loving it, fair enough. but look at all the coach's/trainers/etc around the edge hahahaha

[Starforce00]

@chickenhero5 You have to grow for understand... You are just 11... Umbrange :D

[chickenhero5]

@Starforce00 hey dont be mean

[chriscross584]

@chickenhero5 you have to admit Starforce00 has a point i mean yeah some people who are teens like it but there not gonna admit it because they dnt want to get there heads stuffed in the toilet or end up sitting at the nerd table you know how cruel kids r nowadays you can never realy be yourself in this world unfortunately.

[SoulSilverInferno]

man the guy w/ the philipine flag is carrying it the wrong way it's should be blue on the top and red is in the bottom thumbs up if you agree

[ralman88]

@SoulSilverInferno heh. that means we going into war...

[knightslucky]

@SoulSilverInferno in The Philippines Law if our Flag is Red on the Top the Country is at the Stage of War... and if the Blue is on the Top we are at Peace.. sorry for my English

[yomanwazzap]

[ProfessorAnimalTV]

@GrapeCustardPS3 The cards came before the first video game was ever thought of both in Japan and the US

[nonSteel]

@GrapeCustardPS3

[ohmylanta200]

[ohmylanta200]

@nonSteel

[ohmylanta200]

@nonSteel

It was actually Dragon Ball Z. It was way better than Pokemon.

[platinumpikachu13]

@nonSteel just like your mom, the stock market was down, people were poor, just like you, what do they call that? oh yeah, the great depression

[nonSteel]

@platinumpikachu13

uhh that would make my mom like 80 years old...jesus you're dumb

[Metalheadaches]

@GrapeCustardPS3 Lol XD

[theclash24]

@GrapeCustardPS3 this was a card game before video game, it came out at least 12-14 years ago than started into videogame stuff like on gameboy color and super 64...if your old enough to remember those.

[MrScarecrow62]

@theclash24 actually, the pokemon video games were released in north america in september of 1998 while the card game was released in december of 1998. in japan, the games were released in early 1996 while the cards in late 1996. so therefore, the games have always been first

[theclash24]

@MrScarecrow62 yeah...and I remember when that occurred...I was 13. cough...

[wizkidrm]

@GrapeCustardPS3 Its both dumbass!
