[miplinator100]

LOL 4 OF MY FRIENDS WERE THERE!

[TokyoAro]

Hey Mate i know all pre-releases are the same but how much does it usually cost, the most ive seen is 40 USD a person.

[bran12b]

so kool the girl has guardians who like pokemon

[theFerociousFox21]

go pkecollection! buizel is my all time favorite

[MrFunnyTheIII]

[TheMcfargy]

i love to call pre-release the nerd base ( im guiltyly a member of the nerd base : D)

[deoxys290]

[TheManKiwi]

Cool

[macbactnc]

nice



[xPurpleReignx]

totally sick nasty in a good way

[xXPandaAttackedxX]

wow that asian lady sounded mean.

[MrFunnyTheIII]

@xXPandaAttackedxX no but the man was meanier in 2:30 poor girl :(

[iTzJuniorOT]

hook up with dianna now!

[Thepainteroftzeentch]

wow pokemon tcg and warhammer in the same shop, I wish I lived there!!!

[pkmncard8]

cool. you seem to be good with kids lol 5/5

[paultkim84]

man,barely anybody in my area like pokemon and i feel like i know about pokemon more than anybody in school

[MrTheDeepblue]

Looked like a good time. The pulls were stinkin' lousy though. No rare in that one pack. Wow.

My favorite album of 09 was "Merriweather Post Pavilion".

[pokecollection]

Yeah, they were crappy unfortunately. As for Animal Collective - I think there's a consensus - The whole world seems to have that on their top 10 lists for 2009, myself included...

[Magikarped]

what did you use to record with?

[pokemon4life619]

w0w wish i could of gone to mine

[PokeTrader01]

Oh yea your right, it had no rare. Wow that sucks

[brittonbful]

cool

[pokecollection]

They always take place Sundays. Somewhat inconvenient travelling wise but good since it's a day off for most.

[pokecollection]

And yes you should definitely look into pre-releases around your place. It's very much like a small community to be honest - everyone knows each other. Even Claire (who introduced the video, kindly) knows everyone. It's great!

[pokecollection]

Actually, Dianna began collecting cards because of me - She began with Supreme Victors after discovering them at a local store. It was her cards (that she got from her own boosters) which she played with - cool huh? Haha.

I understand though - I can see why people think it's childish, but people don't generally see the nostalgic thing about it. Which is cool because if I hadn't told people I liked pokemon, people I know locally that is, they wouldn't have admitted it themselves!

[44fingerboard44]

that guy at 3:47 is HOT !!!!!

[PokeTrader01]

In the pack that you didn't pull a rare, the wormadam was the rare

[pokecollection]

Oh was it? Sheesh. Should've paid attention!

[pokecollection]

Actually, I just checked now and it seems that it's an uncommon... not a rare.

[pokemoncraigybaby]

i was only going to rate this video

4*...then Dianna showed up ;)

[xIkutoTsukiyomixxX1]

@pokemoncraigybaby Pervert

[pokemoncraigybaby]

its called a joke,hence the wink symbol

[KookaburraAMV]

wow the place you live in looks beautiful! We have like, no trees where we live except for a few scrawny ones t_t

[pokecollection]

Lol thanks.

[LaOndaMagica]

look at 7:44

HOT BITCH8=D

[erinaphobia]

it looks like heaven! nobody I know collects pokemon cards!

[Xboxlove1]

@erinaphobia samee

[pokecollection]

Cool eh? I never knew until I realised a pre-release for SV would be held (I think it was the first one in NZ too!)

[erinaphobia]

That's awesome! I'll have to be on the lookout for events where I live!

[CameronIsGodless]

@MrSdm94 Yeah, I discovered there was one a month or two ago. and It's amazing to be able to relate to people, rather than being called a child and that I need to grow out of this already. D:

[pokecollection]

Agreed!

[Azulgrana14]

really cool videos, i want to go to a pre-release, looks like fun

[pokecollection]

Sure is!

[CameronIsGodless]

How friendly! that must have been awesome to be surrounded by pokemon lovers. I only know like 2 or 3 in real life.

[LiangSongy]

Some weird packs o_O

[pokecollection]

I know!

[PokeMyShlong]

How did you make a deck without energy cards?

[LiangSongy]

The organisers provide energy cards

[pokecollection]

Yeah, they give us energy cards...

[Nactios]

wow they are so excited XDD

[carlosfinalx]

cant wait for the next part...

[ipkpureu96]

[pokecollectionfan]

[pokecollection]

Thanks - and wow, you've made a username dedicated to me? Haha, that's awesome - thanks! :D

[MrPokekid]

Nice, looks really good :)

[pokecollection]

Yep!

[crzy55]

Nice! Some of those pulls were whack!

[carlosfinalx]

LOL

[pokecollection]

Oh I know, wtf! I didn't even get a rare in one. It wasn't as good as SV to be honest.

[Pokemoncardcollect]

Life is good! :-)

[pokecollection]

Sure is!

[MaxR024]

AWESOME!!

[AbiROAR]

Florence and the Machine FTW! :D

Gratz on the release! I've never been to a Pokemon event before. I'd feel quite out of place. ;P

[GallegonPwns]

Agreed, florence and the machine are one of my favourite bands, and dog days are over is a amazing tune :D

[pokecollection]

Indeed!

[pokecollection]

Florence made my top album of 2009 - Lungs, hands down, a great album.

Rabbit heart and the bayou percussion version of 'girl with one eye' has to be my picks from the album though.

[rapyde14]

awesome!

[darkNight7100]

my car steering wheel is on the left lol

[pokecollection]

Maybe because you're in the US? Haha.
