If you get a message from an account that looks like us telling you you've won a prize, please ignore it and report the comment for spam. I'm trying to keep up with them, but it's time-consuming, and I may miss some. If we ever do any kind of contest, it will be clearly outlined in a video.
@20:26 theres some controversy with the 15+ top 8 Marcus Abreu vs William Lieu first round match up, Marcus Faced and beat William by deck out during the qualying rounds and other notable players like Scott gearherd pointed out that during the play in first round he played a lass, and he didnt play that during his match against marcus. Top 8 had deck list BUT the qualifying rounds did not.
I'm so tired of these bot accounts bro they're everywhere.
Bro the whole tournament thing in a giant boat with a golden invitation sounds like something straight up from Yugioh, it's so cool.
these videos are fantastic please keep it up
Thank you so much! More coming soon!
Edit: Wow, I didn't even realize this was the actual Jarvis Johnson. Love your stuff as well. Thanks for stopping by!
Idk if you realize just how high quality these are. These are higher quality than most video essays from youtubers with millions of subscribers. Your videos remind me of summoning salts when he first started our before he got big and it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if you reach that level. Idk anything about the TCG outside of your videos but they are so good that they got me interested
It honestly means so much to hear you say that. This isn't even our final form. Thanks for watching!
So glad I found this
Truly outrageous this doesn’t have more views
What are you handles on Instagram, TikTok and Twitter my liege, we need to blow you up 🎉🎉
Maybe it was recommended to me because I watch summoning salt but I'm a big fan of the kind of video you make. Very high quality
Marcus here - it was a fun tournament and being one of only a handful of Canadians it was super awesome to go on that run. In the swiss I actually won my matches with William.
That must have been so surreal to experience. I'm glad we could bring back the memories, and thanks for watching. If you'd be interested in sharing more about your personal experience and retrospective, please feel free to dm us on Twitter (link in description)!
This series has been my favorite hyperfixation for a while, i can't wait to see more
We'll do our best to keep going and improve! Thanks for watching!
oh my god i’m high off my ass right now and i remember loving the first video in this series thank you so much
Thanks for watching! Sorry for the wait, but I hope it was worth it.
This is something about the Pokemon TCG I never knew about and it probably my favorite thing in general when card games/video games do this. A competition series to earn an invite for a tournament on a Cruise Ship is such a cool idea. That would get me hyped as an adult, I can only imagine how cool it was for the kids back then.
Base set - Neo Destiny was my favorite.
Being a kid when the Team Rocket expansion came out was exciting and fun. Great video.
Thanks!
I'm so happy with this and excited to see where Pokemon history takes us next!
We will keep on going!
After Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, I hope Gamefreak decides to take time to make the next pokemon game LOL!
Honestly, I would love a well polished open world Gen 2 remake. If that can happen, I would die happy.
The dawn of the competitive scene. Thanks for the series, it's really fascinating learning everything I missed back in the day. Looking forward to the next episode ✌🏼
Thanks so much for the support and kind words!
9:13 I just want to highlight one line from the rules flyer.
"We suggest that you use your own Pokemon trading card game deck of 60 cards. If you don't have a deck with you, we'll *loan* you one."
THAT is a sentence you'd never see at most modern TCG tournaments. I've been to some local game stores that have rental decks for weekly tournaments, but a professional sanctioned event? That is WILD- and an interesting way to get new players into the game.
They were different times. It is an awesome concept though.
Really glad you’re putting out more episodes to this series. I feel like I’ve heard the history of Base-Fossil era dozens of times while the later WoTC and early TPC years don’t get covered much
Yeah, we've got quite a few things coming up that have little or no coverage, so stay tuned!
I remember this era fondly. I was a little over 7 when this set hit, playing at my LGS with decks me and my dad made, until he got fed up with me ruining the decks with me slotting in whatever dark pokemon looked cool. Taking 2nd at a local tournament and winning a couple gym heroes starter decks is probably still my competitive peak lol. I don't play many games competitively anymore, and when I do, it's mostly in fighting games nowadays.
Thanks for making these, really takes me back to some good days.
Thanks for stopping by!
I remember rocket set fondly. Bold to make a new set of worse/riskier cards. Also, the card art is so aggressive and stylistic compared to the paired down originals.
I remember Dark Gloom/vileplume being a menace in tcg 2 on Gameboy color.
I love the artwork from the rocket set.
It is strange that Creatures didn't allow Wizards to use bans or a restricted list, considering Japanese tournaments had already been using both approaches with a banlist for juniors and a restricted list for seniors (one restricted card per deck), alongside a 15 pokémon minimum for junior decks and a 20 trainer maximum for seniors. Eventually Japan would move to the more extensive point based "Hall of Fame" restricted list in 2001 tournaments.
Where can I find these banned and restricted lists?
@@Sehon13Ultd Pokumon has articles on the 2001 spring/summer road tournaments as well as the 2002 battle road tournaments
@@Sehon13Ultd Along with articles about other earlier pre hall of fame tournaments, but it seems those will also be covered soon on this channel
@@Prowox dang I was hoping you meant for base-fossil or base-rocket
@@Sehon13Ultd There are some examples of those on Pokumon too, for example the Charizard Mega Battle tournament, the second big pokemon tcg tournament, restricted you to a maximum of 6 Team Rocket cards and 4 Expansion Sheet 1 cards.
As a kid who was 9 when this happened and played the Trading Card Game extensively during this era - this is one of the most impressive Pokemon Retro TCG videos ever done. Incredible job
Thank you!
@@rubyretro You inspired me to get the last remaining old Pokemon cards I have and now I am slowly rebuilding some decks you mentioned in your videos.
Brosseau's Metal Chansey
STS John Goldstein Gatr Deck (I actually met him while we were students at UC Irvine years ago lol)
Thanks!
i am absolutely obsessed with the wall of text crying out rallying against netdecking (or even, zinedecking) from 23 years ago 😂 "original deck ideas only" tournament sure is an... Interesting thought i'll give them that!!
YES THE SERIES CONTINUES
Sorry for the wait, but thanks for tuning in!
@@rubyretro not done yet but it feels very professional and good I've seen documentaries done worse
My parents would have scoffed at the idea of them taking me to a "pokemon card tournament" when I was young.
Egg on their faces.
This was an absolutely amazing video! Thank you so much for your thorough research and detailed descriptions of the decks the competitors used. It was so much fun to think about this era of the game again, and I very much look forward to future installments of this series! :D
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more!
Been waiting for the next episode, keep up the great work dude!
Thanks for standing by!
Finally! So excited for this series, you do such a good job!
Thank you so much! Sorry for the wait!
Epic! So happy to see this interesting dive into competitive history has returned! Look forward to more
Thanks for watching!
Ah man, DeltaSeeker uploaded yesterday, and now you upload today with a new TCG History episode. That's what I like to see. I really enjoyed this episode. The editing and music choices feel better than the previous part, and seeing all those old photos is awesome. I'm surprised so many of them are still around and can be found. Can't wait for the next part.
Yeah, we're taking whatever feedback we can to keep pushing for improvements. Thanks for tuning in!
I was eagerly awaiting this! My buddies and I recently got into making some "OG" decks using Base Set to Rocket. Love your work!
Much appreciated! I'm always glad to hear of more people getting into reteo Pokemon!
Been so excited for this follow up!! Great video, so excited for part 3!

Thanks for tuning in!
I really enjoyed this, and I hope you make more of these about the other earlier formats! It was great how you talked about the tournaments and provided decklists
Thanks for tuning in! There will definitely be more!
The fact that the Rocket era didn't kill the game completely is nothing but a miracle
Thank you for keeping this series going! I'm loving it!
Thank you for tuning in!
Such nostalgia! Great series so far, keep it up :D
You're too kind!

You bet we will, my man!
Awesome video. I’m happy to see the second installment and hope you continue covering the history through the years.
Thank you so much! Stay tuned!
Excellent video! Thanks so much! I love the info about early years of the game, when it can be difficult to look it up on your own. Thank you.
Thanks! Happy to help.
These are fantastic! I feel like well-made, educational PTCG history content is very difficult to come by, thanks for the amazing content once again!
Thanks! We noticed these things are widely uncovered as well. Hopefully, we can continue to do these eras justice.
Amazing videos man, really high quality stuff. Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
These are awesome. Keep up the great work!

We're flattered. Thanks for watching!
Phenomenal. This content is just everything that I ever want to see in any Pokemon TCG oriented channel, ever. Thank you! Please keep creating this type of content!
Thanks! Will do!
This is a very nice video that showcased fascinating evolution of card design. I especially love the design of rainbow energy. It felt way ahead of its time, both by design AND effect
Hell yeah, I was looking forward to this after having seen the previous video recently! I was so disappointed when I found that there wasn't a second part yet. Looking forward to this video, the next, and everything after.
Yeah, our churn rate on videos is slow (for now), but we'll keep going. Thanks for stopping by!
Yesss, these videos are so good, thank you for your work!! I really really appreciate these videos, learning about the history of prob my favorite game is amazing and the way you explain it all is great!

Thanks for the support! We'll keep going!
First video I’ve ever watched from this channel. You deserve EVERY good thing coming your way. Accurate, engaging, and insightful. Thank you.
You're too kind!
Absolutely amazing videos. Really enjoyed this and the previous. Always have been looking for these kinds of videos, you'll see ridiculous growth pretty soon with subs and views!
Thanks for the vote of confidence!
I do not comment often but I believe the subscriber count when I saw this video. Incredible professionalism in editing and such wonderful research. I was a bit too young to experience tournament play for Pokémon this early and it is so interesting following the evolution of the card game. I’ve now watched both installments of this series and I desperately hope that you keep up the good work. Congratulations on making such a great video and I hope you are rewarded by more people like me being recommended it. I feel like I’m on the ground floor of something great.
Thanks for the vote of confidence and kind words! We appreciate you stopping by, and we'll continue to put out more content, always seeking to improve the quality.
you have hit a content gold mine my friend, they are masterfully edited and your script writing is amazing. keep on bringing the videos! +1 sub
Thanks for the support!
Perfect follow up video. Great work.
Thanks!
These are some of my favorite videos on all of youtube. You are insanely good. Thank you for having the same random insane passion about an obscure niche group that I do 😂

Wow Yess!
I absolutely loved your first video and wasnt expecting another so quick, thanyou.

this is actually so timely. I have been revisiting pokemon and after having fun with the digimon tcg I've been meaning to finally beat those Pokemon tcg games I used to be terrible at as a kid. insight into metagame decks even if its maybe not the same format is super helpful.
awesome content and ez sub
Thanks for the support!
So great to get context for all these cards! Stoked for the Gym series
As are we! Stay tuned!
I don't know why I get such a kick out of these old meta videos but dang they're good. You're fantastic at capturing what the era was like. Thank you for the videos!
Thanks for stopping by!
I find it hilarious and awesome that The William Hung was a pokemon card champion back in the day. Love these videos dude, takes me back to the good ol days of Pokemon. I'm sad I missed out on all these Pokemon cards events when I was a kid.
Thanks for watching!
Another Banger.
Gonna start binge watching your vids daily til I'm caught up.
😊
Nice! Looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you, stay tuned!
Couldn't wait for the next one after the last one. Thank you.
No, thank you!
