About Me

My name is Ethan Buck, and I am a Pokemon Player.

I am from Northern Illinois and I have played for nine years. I was in the Senior Division at first, and then became a Master later on. I started playing around the Majestic Dawn era, and went to tournaments around the Platinum era.

I attend college at Bradley University in Peoria, Il, which unfortunately does not have a big Pokemon playerbase. I wish to be a judge also, so that I can increase the playerbase, or host tournaments in my local area.

I made this blog along time ago when blogs were becoming big. I decided on doing one for Pokemon, but I never caught on with it. Now though, I am trying to make it better, so that The Pokemon Company International can notice this blog, and I can use it to obtain a job with them.

I took inspiration from Kyle "Pooka" Suchevich as he was in my shoes before. He was a player, that worked for Pokemon after hugely successful streaming. I also took inspiration from Esa Juntunen from The Deck Out (link: http://thedeckout.blogspot.com/p/about-me-us.html). He had a huge blog, and this page is inspired by him.

I want people to notice this blog, and it can be huge for the community. I want people to follow this blog so that the blog can grow, and I also want people to give feedback so that the blog can become better than before.

Thank you for reading this page, and please follow this blog or me to obtain new info from this blog.

Burning Shadows Prerelease

Burning Shadows Prerelease Hello Everyone,  Today I went to the Burning Shadows Prerelease at Everything Games in Buffalo Grove, Il. It was a lot of fun, and I went 2-1 in the tournament. Below is a picture of the Deck Box for the prerelease.  What I pulled:  Today I pulled a Full Art Goliospod GX and a Secret Rare Multi Switch. They were both cool. Below is also a picture of the packs that I had for the tournament.  What I played:  I had played the fighting types that came with the deck, plus Mudsdale. Here is a picture of my deck.  Tournament Report:  My first round I lost barely because my opponent topped a heads on Super Scoop Up. So I lost because of it. My second round came down to a top deck and luck. I used Mudsdale to win, and used Kick away and escape rope to win. My third win came from Crabrawler and my opponent could not do anything to win. Overall:  Overall, it was a lot of fun. This set is good for pulling cards. Please follow me on this

Internationals 2017 Experience

Internationals 2017 Experience Hello everyone,  Today I am going to be talking about how the Internationals at Indianapolis went for me. It was good, but there were some parts that could have been changed. So, I will go into detail and talk about what was good, and what needs to change in order to make Internationals better. Be sure to follow me on this blog, at  playerpokemon.blogspot.com Tournament Itself:  I piloted Espeon Garbodor in the event, and I did well in Round 1, but lost later on. The deck didn't get me what I wanted at times, or things wouldn't work out. I went 4-5 in the end, but the article isn't much about it.  This extended to side events too. One game I went against Lycanroc Zygarde and I started with a Drampa GX tech. That didn't end well. There were also a lot of Zoroark decks.  Even though I didn't do the best, this article is about the experience in going. I have been to several Nationals before they became Internationals. I

Cool Set Ideas

Cool Set Ideas Hello everyone,  Today I wanted to talk about some ideas for the future sets of the Pokemon Trading Card Game. If Pokemon sees this article, I would be totally for letting them use the ideas here.  I will talk about sets, and mechanics that could be used for future sets. So, here we go.  First Idea:  Breath of the Dragon TCG Set:  This has inspiration from the newest Zelda title, with the support needed to make Dragons good in the TCG. They don't do much anymore, especially when Fairy Type is so huge. What I would do in this set is give a basic Dragon energy (which should of happened from the start). I would also give a Double Dragon Energy reprint to give them consistency.  This basic energy would be like the others in the fact that it would never rotate out. The Double Dragon Energy would though.  Second Idea:  Fury of the Champion:  This set could give Fighting Types a huge consistency boost. Kind of like Carbink Break, where some
