Your pokemon Game Card Championship Winners Are!!....

He must feel like he reached the top of the world. Man, I wanna achieve greatess too.

wait, people still play pokemon?

Apparently They Still Do. I Just Have My Cards Somewhere In My Room. They Are After All The Cards From The First Set And Are 1st Edition. Which Hopefully Will Fetch For A High Price Soon.

they wont lol not with remake cards and new sets lol i suggest what my freind did with his card that was worth 250$ on e bay grab a tape recorder and record you lighting the fker on fire and post it on youtube lol

The funniest thing about the picture is the guy has a sweater tied around his waste. That is so 1980's.

.....

*Removes tied sweater before leaving*

i thought thet was the champion belt!

Championship Belt. Hahaha.

that guy needs wear looser clothing

Man, this makes me wish that I was a better player and could duel people at the championship level so that this stereotype would be broken. =o

More importantly, why are they wearing flower necklaces?

WIN!!!!!!!!!!! Lol he looked like he had just won a competition that mattered.

It took place in Hawaii, I believe. An island somewhere, I do know that.

I hate to say this, but an older guy winning is really no surprise. I have a friend who enters Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments and the same rules apply - If you want a deck that gives you even a remote chance of going somewhere, you have to spend practically HUNDREDS of dollars getting the right cards. He has like 3+ of every tin box set that's come out, just because he needs the cards for his deck. He also buys card packs by the BOX. Like the whole fucking display box you'd see at a toy store counter - He buys them online. He also buys individual cards on eBay (Like $15 for one fucking card,) just for deck use. It's sad that all the money goes into a "children's" card game.

Sure, people could look at that guy and think bad things about him, but I wonder how fucking loaded the parents of those kids are. Pokemon is technically for children, but not in terms of money.

Now there's a true image of a champion, leaving a trail of childrens tears and crushed dreams in his wake...or at least when he sits down without looking first.

Yeah, all the "adults" (for lack of a better word) were like that when I played Pokemon. But they had the money to spend, so whatever.

Something similar happened in high school, with Magic: The Gathering. People would go to the store and, instead of buying boxes, would buy individual cards, but they'd spend the same amount of money. It was crazy, seeing a person with a book of cards that cost him over $100.

If it was the same for this tourney, then just how good are those kids for beating everyone else?

I'd like to say it depends on their skill (and probably half of it DOES,) but a large factor is due to the particular cards they have. I mean hell, that kid had a Kyogre hat. There's gotta be some money there. >_>

Thats It! Time To Dust My Fire Type Deck.
*Now Where Is That Charizard Im Adding*
