Must-have Trainer Resources

I've got a ton of useful links and resources for you guys that I'm going to link in this post. Some of you will already know about these websites and such, but for those that don't (especially Juniors and Seniors) these tools could give you a big assist when it comes to the Pokémon TCG.

Before we move on to that, two things: First, I just wanted to thank everyone that attended the Next Destinies Prerelease last Sunday. It was a chaotic event, but all told I really enjoyed myself and I believe that most of the people involved did too. I'm happy to say that everything seemed to go very well.  Secondly, I'm posting this video interview I did immediately following the Cumbernauld City Championship - please note Amaya's hand poking me in the arm for the majority of the interview. :)

Okay, so here we go. First of all are the Big Three. These websites are essentially the go-to sites for general Pokémon news and competitive play information. Six Prizes is primarily focused on TCG strategy and advice. Pokébeach gets some interesting information about new sets and scans of them before most other sites, and it has a very useful forum for discussion of the TCG. PokéGym is where most official rulings are handed down, and they have numerous tools and resources that can be an aid.

Tools to search for specific cards that meet certain criteria can be incredibly useful I personally use Bebe's Search for this and decklist creation, and Poképedia is similarly useful, though somewhat less user friendly. The PokéGym Researching Tower is an invaluable resource for finding what cards are currently in the Modified Format. Of course, Bulbapedia is a good source for everything Pokémon, both TCG and VG.

I hope you guys find these links helpful, and I look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
