Pokemon Trading Card Game Match: JWittz vs. National Champion Part 1

[Turnip6697]

Wow! This sure is cool. Question: Can you use older cards in competitive play?

[PokeManiaEX]

are u allowed to use cards from older sets in the competitive play

[MetalMastersMan1234]

what do u mean u see what u get on the flip? Mine has a little screen on the back that lets u see what your recording.

[bindrp2]

xD all the card tricks he was doing. Looks like quite a champ.

[dracknlrrd]

@bindrp2 you mean chump right?

[guildwarsnerd123]

Where did u get those black and white sleeves with the energy symbols on them?

[TheMrJordunn]

like if you think they need to make a new pokemon tcg

[pokemonebeyblade4034]

lol



[thundersnake1]

I like using the old school energies too.

[Soroside]

I'm completely new to the pokemon card game and I'm wondering, in pokemon can someone with just a starter deck do well? Or do you have to actually spend money/time/etc making a really good deck? I ask because I play alot of Yugioh which is dependent on the best cards

[Kanethedragon]

@Soroside hmm I suppose,though I'm no expert at the game.I used to play it with my bro a long time ago,but then things just seemed to stop.heck I still have my cards from the days of ruby sapphire and emerald.

[Verxerker]

@Soroside The thing is, almost every major or mainstream TCG (trading card game) requires you to spend money to make a good deck. But mostly it depends on who you play against. If you play against starters such as yourself, you don't need much aside from the basic decks as they will use the same. However, against high leveled players who will have high leveled cards that only money can buy such as legendary pokemons, you pretty much have to spend more.

[ElitePivoter444]

love the b&w sleeves!

[TheEvildoomsday]

Can you please answer this question: what are the cards that have characters after they're names like Electrive FB? Are they like basic or like diffrent lv X's???? Please somebody respond thanks.

[legoboy1216]

dude i wish i could battle but with ur deck i would probably get destroyed :)

[legoboy1216]

@legoboy1216

ok i forgot to tell u this, ill PM u the deck list 4 my deck

[TheNinjaassassin22]

I made a homemade mat :D

[DaisyPanda123]

I love pokemon, though i can't play the game yet sadly so this is very amusing to me (: lol

[aztarohxD]

i like your videos, thanks for sharing!

[MaccoasterKID]

nice prime

[MoeRubaiaan]

im new to pokemon and i have a question if you win in pokemon do you get the prize cards for yourself or is it just cards that you cant use in the game pls explain

[MoeRubaiaan]

@MoeRubaiaan P.S => he has 2 cards in the field isnt it supposed to be 1 in the field and 3 bench

[Kanethedragon]

@MoeRubaiaan I think the max was 6 benched pokemon,unless (though very likely) the rules changed over the years.

[llaNdYbll]

How do i get an awesome mat like yours?

[Gustavomazu]

Are those sleeves regular store's sleeves? Their nice!

[RockLeone14]

nice vid :D

[MetaHumanz]

I have a question.... since you can use older cards in tournaments if they have the same name and text (like energy cards) does that mean you can also use promos that are completely unchanged from non promo card versions?

[VinitheVcubeVIP]

at 12:05 he retreated twice...

[SanitVengeance]

Josh, the music background was just... AWESOME. :O

[8Yoshi1]

Bruh, what is this song? After watching this, I can't get it outta my head! Can I get that?

[CyndaquilTepigMaster]

Lol I was sooo confused when he attached energy to "Cleffa"

[LelouchLamparouge]

well obviously you do NOT suck because you went 5th in worlds so...

[TheJWittz]

@zard1111 that's a good question! Looking at his hand you can see that he has 2 lightning and a third energy to retreat, and looking closely at the deck on full screen you see pachirishu isn't prized. He attached his energy before even checking the deck, so maybe he just didn't think about the possibility : P

[IncognitoLens]

Dumb Question: can you use energies from old sets in official competative play?

[TheJWittz]

@IncognitoLens yes, you can use any old card of the same name as a new card as long as it has the same name and text. I used these old energies in the main event!

[guaranteedgay]

Okay, I was going to ask why on earth he attached an energy to Cleffa, haha.

[thesacredlugia]

Couldn't Con have just communicated for pachirisu and use self regeneration to charge it up, retreat magnemite with the rainbow, and ko yanma. :D

[SanguineYeti]

Awsome vid, thank you so much for posting! very enjoyable and insightful.

[9440RAFAEL]

Guys who wants to battle me and I need help on my f**kin deck

[SteelPokemonFan]

I'd love to get into this, so hopefully this sub won't go to waste.

[kingakil3s]

Love how you use really old school energie's from base sets and stuff. Would like to see more game, espescially with matchups you think that will do good in this season and such.

[blazinfire582]

is it legal to use proxies in nationals and/or worlds

[TheJWittz]

@blazinfire582 No, it isn't legal in any tournament to use proxies. But in practice, it's good if you don't have enough cards to make multiple decks

[lynfieldpenis]

con retreated twice in one turn as from 11:00.... why?

[TheJWittz]

@lynfieldpenis As somebody else noted, he played switch but I missed and just took it as retreating. That's why the switch was in the discard pile in the first place for him to reuse later in part 2.

[BleuTheMilotic]

This is what I never got >.< Do you have to put like say it was a watter attack and has 1 water energy symbol do you have to attach a water energy or any kind

[suicunemaster97]

whats the music?

[dialga8666]

From which set is your Pokemon reversal?

[plushoo]

How exactly does the die roll work? I've seen you do it in other videos instead of flipping a coin - is it something like 1, 3 and 5 are tails and 2, 4 and 6 are heads? Thanks in advance! :)

[TheJWittz]

@plushoo yup, that's exactly how it works!

[23slayer23]

yea, the angle is great for card games. The Flip is a-ok

[PufferDude84]

Love the battle vid format and the background music Josh! (:

[kilimow]

Your opponent has win mat.

[AmpharosPokemonTime]

where do you get that b&w sleves? there awesome :D

[joshuaA9111]

@AmpharosPokemonTime ebay would be the place

[GreenNationArmy]

whats a proxy?

[skatinda408]

why do all these players deliberately bend their cards >_>

[mariowinsall]

@skatinda408 habit

[kilimow]

@skatinda408 Habit. I do it all the time.

[skatinda408]

@kilimow

so you see someone do it and you follow suit? look at the condition of the guy's cards on the left. It's bent so badly. i've seen vids of the worlds and many of the players do that same crap.

[FxUsAll]

Hey jwittz his name is Con lee not con lay

Just wanted to let you know.

[THEFREAKOUTSHOW1]

I WAS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO CON AND BATTLING AND TRADING WITH RENEE WHEN JWITTZ WAS FILMING THIS!!!!! :D

[GTLx16]

I was waiting for this:D@!@!@#

[ChibiLeafeon]

Awesomely epic7 :3

[tth66]

i thought you could only retreat once perturn

[TheJWittz]

@tth66 You can only retreat once per turn. However, using the card Switch doesn't count as one of those retreats

[carlitosbob]

@TheJWittz the confusion comes from @ 11:16 you say that he retreats, but he plays switch. I had to rewind it and saw the card being played. no worries @tth66, it was a legal move.

[b10003]

@TheJWittz yes but he retreated the mega to manaphay then back to mega to knock out your cleffa unless he dropped a switch i missed

[HitmonRyan]

Hey Josh, I'm playing Reshiboar for the entire season and I'm having a few problems with consistency. I can stream reshirams easily but my only problems so far are my starts. I seem to get set up around turn 4 which is obviously bad. I was wondering if you have any tips you wouldn't mind sharing. I could pm you my list if you'd like.

[salvysaurusrex]

if anyone needs competitive cards PM me im getting rid of mine such as gengar magnezone deck and Emboar with ability

[halomegabloks24335]

WIN!!!
