for real though

2-Prizers seem to be very balanced in this format. Still better than the normal ones considering the extra prize penalty, but not in a way that single prizers get completely overshadowed. I really wish the pokémon TCG was still like this. With every single set that is released in the big-basics eras (EX, tag teams, Vs), 90% of the cards are instantly thrown off as pure bulk and only a few Vs shake up the format. The only single prizers worth playing are cards that can do a bazillion damage with basically zero energy while having to chew through half the deck to even get going, such as regigigas, rapid strike malamar, and mad party style attacks. I prefer the game that resembles more of a kitchen table pokemon with a few more turns, rather than playing the Vstar/Vmax of the day + dump engine of the day (inteleon, bibarel, cinccino) and winning the 2HKO race.

What a wonderful way to showcase past formats, cards, and decks. This video plays like a love letter to pokémon cards, and it’s an absolute pleasure to watch. Excellent editing style for explaining complicated poké-powers to an audience who may not be familiar. And Chip’s max rarity LBS is beautiful. Just a triumph all around.

At 15:00 no card was discarded for that Holon Mentor right? JUDGE!!

15:00 Andrew forgot to discard a card for the Mentor. Love the editing btw! More please!

Ain’t no gameplay like 06 gameplay 😎

Dude this was so sick. The close up work on the cards in the deck intros was also top notch. Perfect showcase for an old format. You guys are absolutely nailing tabletop content production.

Super easy to understand and digestible content even for me who started playing during Fusion Strike and doesn't know what any of the cards do. Amazing work to both of you and I really really hope you continue to make this type of content together!!!!

The editing on this vid was great! Gameplay flows really well, and it's easy to follow the decisions of each player and the effects of each card. Keep it up!

Loving this content. These decks seem super interesting, retro formats as a whole always fascinate me. I like that celebrations reprinted alot of older expensive cards, hopefully we'll get a similar product in the future

Wonderful content, this era looks like so much fun! Love the editing and all the exposition throughout the game too :D

Love this video format, one of the biggest struggles I have with watching any tcg played over the table is knowing the effects of the cards played but you absolutely killed with the explanations and the editing so I always knew what was happening

Love the way this video is formatted! It's always fun to take a step back to older (better) formats to take much needed breaks from standard.

This is some of the highest quality retro PTCG content on KZread. Very well done to you and Chip! Would love to see more of this kind of content!

Wow, this format looks so fun. More importantly, I love this format of video! I think it's so well done, been hoping somebody would film their content like this for a while now!!

I love these retro format tabletop games! The editing really elevates these videos to a new level!

These retro games feel so good to watch as i wasnt into pokemon back then. These older format videos feel so refreshing to watch to see those cards in action that are now just collection items. Thankyou for making these videos andrew. PS: Love the editing chip and the thumbnail is so pogg.

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I heavily appreciate your style of explaining the abilities and attacks as you're using them. It's so much easier to follow!

This is awesome. It; s the last format I played competitively before quitting the game (started again a month ago =)). I love to see these old cards, makes me so nostalgic. I used to play a Ludicolo/Macargo deck, was a lot of fun.

Andrew I wanted to say thank you to you and everyone over at full grip games I just got my order and my astral radiance binder is getting closer to 100% and the syther really gives it personality. Keep up the great content and much love

One of the most fun videos I've watched from you. The super nice editing, great explanations of what the cards do and just in general a much more fun format to watch made this really enjoyable. I hope you do more of these, I'd love to see some SP stuff someday! I loved that format so much. edit: oh damn thank you for shouting about the playlist too! You did indeed do a lil LuxChomp v Jumpluff 2 years ago!! Sticking that on while I work :D

Chip has done a great job!! It was very easy to follow for someone who doesn’t know this format well and the editing feels very smooth

I need more NOW ! It’s so sick seeing these old cards get played. The editing was perfect as well, I was never lost on what you just played!

I'm really loving the back and forth in this format, seems like something to try!

Dang this was so fun to watch! Sad I wasn’t into Pokémon TCG back then, but please do more of these! Haven’t been this interested in TCG content for awhile! The game flows so well, it’s hard to describe exactly what makes it better but it almost seems more “relaxed” in a way.

You can still get a game reletively easly. There is ptcgo automatic sim by the name of tcgone that goes unoticed cause its more focused to support legacy formats such as this. Don't even have all curent sets in it being couple behind but considering its fan project its about as gokd as we could have asked for baring parent company pushing for inclusion of older formats.

This is my first time watching a Pokemon gameplay video(never played Pokemon TCG), really well done! The gameplay is fun, and the video well edited, so it was easy following along! I am definitely checking out other content!

I love these videos! I had originally played during the release of the original Base Set through the time Crystal Guardians was released, only coming back in 2017 when a buddy taught me and a fellow MTG player. I was like, "What the hell is a GX?" Him and the Burning Shadows Prerelease got me rehooked to this game. Even though I stopped in 2006, I still kept up until sometime before B&W was released. From what I had heard after that, when Black & White came out, it was meant to basically reset the game, and a lot of things reminded players of the original 1st gen format. It simplified a lot of things, the game had an easier learning curve, made matches super fast, but made a lot of evolution-based decks, one notable exception being Blastoise Deluge, obsolete and abilities were a one-all that absorbed the separate Poke-Powers and Poke-Bodies. I knew a few folks that were still playing but stopped back then because they hated the game had "devolved" to that point. Playing it now, especially via block format, it's still a very fun game with the ramifications continuing to this point (big basics continued to the Vs and are still seen in some of the new ex's). I still like to use an Archiestoise variant for online Expanded, and that, plus Jason Klaczinski's blood, got me wondering about old formats. I'm glad it is starting to reverse back to the golden age, with Scarlet & Violet's sets being a breath of fresh air, though keeping some good things that have been around since BW. However, I still believe the 2003-2009 timeframe that we had ex's and Lvl.Xs were indeed the best times the Pokemon TCG has seen. There are still groups playing the 2006 and 2010 World Championships formats (as well as RS-PK and DP-AR) because of the viability of many decks and the closeness of matches with some mechanics that haven't returned to this day. I still have an LBS variant and Palkia Lock for these occasions, but unfortunately, prices being driven up during the pandemic and in the couple years prior since the 20th Anniversary has made it unaffordable to many. I say proxy up some decks and go relive some of the best times this game has seen!

This was fun to watch! I hardly ever watch Pokémon TCG videos. I was really curious enjoy this period in the game's history, and I was very entertained with what I learned here. That Sneasel is so cool!

What a well made video! The cuts and editing is awesome and it’s a great watch

I have to agree that this is the best tcg format ever. I was able to do so much with Holon Electrode/Magneton

I respect the hustle... But the lil dragon shield promo, immediately followed by you setting up your cards, with all of the card-backs showing through the sleeves was hilarious to me, for some reason 😂

Production value on these types of tabletop videos is fantastic. So entertaining

Editing was so nice, just allowed me to pause so I didn't have to google everything. This format looks soooo much fun I might have to encourage some friends to build decks from this era :D

This was such a cool video! I was only 7 years at this time and i had no knowledge about the playable side of the Pokemon TCG. I noticed that a few of these retro cards are simikar to the ones we know today. Rocket Admin is basically N or a bit similar to Iono for example. The Pidgeot is the same as the Pidgeot EX from Scarlet and Violet. Those decks look pretty strong from the time they came from and i love how interesting some of the mechanics are. Very cool video, Andrew! Please showcase more retro decks going forward! 😁

This is fun to watch. As someone who didn't play Pokemon during this time, it's cool to see what the game was like in this era.

Love this! The editing and style format are perfect!

Love the editing in this video! Makes it super easy to follow

Nice editing and camera work. Usually live gameplay is hard for me to watch but this video was much better

Loved this video I absolutely love the old school formats you do table top games and the editing was great

This is a great video! Love learning about old formats 🙌🏽

Great video. I reckon chip gets to keep his job. You were playing at a good tempo, but it was still easy to follow along for a format I have only casually read through. Maybe the only improvement could to perhaps make the card graphics a bit smaller, as at times they overwhelmed the screen. For someone who knew what the cards did, it would have detracted from the experience. But overall I loved this. Great work.

Your retro vids are my favorite vids you do. Love this!

I got into Pokemon TCG right at the end of this format so unfortunately I didn't to get to enjoy as I was just a noob and there wasn't as much information back then to get right into the game as well as cards being more expensive. But what I do remember from this format is the variety of decks that were around and it was literally like 10 that were in the top 2 tiers and they were all match up dependent where at worse you had a 60-65% to 35-40%. So even when you had a tough match-up you still had a pretty good chance to win it. The finaly thing that I loved about this format was that every deck had it's own stadium. We saw a couple being used here. The variety of stadiums and how they were so useful to the strategy of the deck was just really cool since you could see stadium battles happening pretty much each turn of the game. Edit: Love that he gave props to Alex B. Dude is a legend in the game. He won a worlds (don't remember which one exactly but I know it was before this format) and as was mentioned he also top 8 at this one besides other multiple deep runs in Regionals, Nats and Worlds. Dude was an insanely good player and really fun person to be around too.

I've been wanting to get into 2006 but never knew which deck to start with -- going to have to try either of these for sure!

The editing for this video is on point really digging the music too

This tabletop was great! Card view was helpful and easy to follow. I would love to see Mahone and Chip battle Hisuian Samurott vs. Origin Forme Palkia!

Love your retro Pokemon content, hope you make more of these videos

These lists look like a blast. Do you have a list to post in the description or comments section or a link to these specific lists?

Great game. Looking forward to seeing more games in this format.

Such an amazing game ❤ I love that they explain every attack and effect.

Hats off to Chip for the great edit. was really a fun watch.

Please more EX ERA format retro table top. The commentary on how the format and strategies is this era are the best on KZread Beautiful work my my man 🦦💚

I love this video the issue with other retro videos in general is that’s there si little explanation of the moves being made to understand the format

would love to see more content like this !

I wish Delta Species would come back. I know they weren't showcased much in this video, but they were such a cool mechanic change and I think would inspire such interesting mechanics and art for nowadays

Hope to see more RSPK matches on the near future with this quality presentation!

Man, this was truly fun to watch! This format was during 2004-2008 right? Beautiful!

So some cards from this era are worded in a weird way. There used to be a “doubles” format rule set, we’re each player could have 2 active Pokémon. So when a card like Sneasel ex refers to a “defending Pokémon” defending means the same thing as active. So if you were playing with doubles rules, the opponent would choose which of the 2 active Pokémon went to the bench. Sneasel still let’s the user choose the benches pokemon to bring active (see the first sentence of drag off)

I know this is an older post, but I wanted to add something for future reference for others. The 2x2 format was something that was used from the RS through the DPP era, being abandoned after the HGSS sets started being released, since it was noted as being unpopular with quite a few players. That's one of the reasons why the learning curve was a bit higher then than it is now. Wording was a little word. A card like Pow! Hand Extension had the same wording. But there was confusion about it. For a doubles/2x2 battle, the opponent could choose the Pokemon to switch, but when it was just a regular "one active only/normal format," then it would act the way Gust of Wind/Pokemon Catcher/Boss' Orders would. The Pokemon the opponent would choose to switch during a 2x2 would mean the Active, since there were two. However, quite a few folks back then would think, innocently that it meant, innocently, that it was up to the opponent to choose the Pokemon, kind of like Warp Point/Escape Rope. In the play groups I was a part of then, some of us were confused until we asked the judge(s) for assistance when the 2x2 format first came about. However, there were some cheaters, though few, that would try and convince the player that the card meant exactly how it was written. This is probably why this format was eventually discarded, as well as folks being annoyed that some tactics that wouldn't work for this type of deck, although it helpedvor didn't affect a few (decks like my favorite of LBS could still work well, since if they had a Jirachi from EX Deoxys, they could still attack with the other and use the Jirachi's search ability beforehand). When Black & White came out, it was meant to basically reset the game, and a lot of things reminded players of the original 1st gen format. It simplified a lot of things, the game had an easier learning curve, made matches super fast, but made a lot of evolution-based decks, one notable exception being Blastoise Deluge, obsolete and abilities were a one-all that absorbed the separate Poke-Powers and Poke-Bodies. I first stopped playing by that time, but I knew a few folks that stopped back then because they hated the game had "devolved" to that point.

This is the best produced/edited pokemon tabletop game I've ever seen

this was so rad, can we make this a mini series of old decks throughout the years?

Loved this style, please use it more often!

I don't get rocket sneasel ex, the text of the first attack says "your opponent chooses the defending pokemon to switch", can someoby clear that up for me? (ik i'm dumb)

Really nicely edited to make it easy for viewers to read cards. Maybe you could post a retro match-up a week

Researched the cards... turns out this was a really expensive match. The sneaseler Ex is about $125!!! Crazy

Will there be more of these retro era matches? I love watching these

Is there anywhere that this format, or any older legacy formats can be played digitally?

"Player going first doesn't draw a card" As a Magic player, if you had told me that this was the rule throughout the entire history of the Pokémon TCG I would have totally believed you lmao

love the editing!

Will there be more videos of older formats or was this the last one?

It'd be cool to see more dual type cards where you can play a Pokemon as an energy or tool as we've seen in the past.

I recommend using all cards until Team Aqua vs Team Magma. Basically, "Poke03." It's Singleton. Pop 01 is actually fine as are the 04 cards from the dragon set, but I like simplifying things for people. This is the most in depth format because you can use the most cards effectively, while being encouraged to try alternative strategies, as you can only use 1 of each card. You can still have 4 of a particular Pokemon of course. But, you're looking at 2 different Cleffa. This applies to Trainer cards too. If a specific Plus Power provides a particular boost, but there is a functionally different effect, you are allowed to run both. If a Trainer card is a person, it is also a supporter. Avoid errata. Try this.

Love this retro video

It's really cool seeing all of our childhood card games being pushed to such a point, we're regressing back to old formats. Pokemon and Yugioh are catching up to MTG.

This was great. Make more.

i LOVE these videos! Please, do more =]

Where can I find the deck lists

I have only played standard but wow the game use to be way more interactive. I also love that there not some Ace Pokémon that did all the work, on the dark side it was the teamwork combo. Love it. Not just “new doing new things”. I wish for the next scarlet/violet years we have less super chuncky beat sticks and more interactive cards

yeah this format is so sick. Today its basically like you have 2 turns to get fully setup and if you dont you get SMASHED on unless your opponent bricks too

Yeah, i dont really see either of these decks beating mew vmax, astral radiance really needed some mew counters. Joking aside, im down to watch all the older format content you guys want to put out. It reminds me of GOAT format from yugioh which was one of my favorite times to play

Editing kinda goes crazy

OMG that tatoo is sick.

This is amazing. Music just a touch too loud over your voices. Keep em coming!
