Hi,
 
My name is trevor and about the 15+ thing, i think it is the worst idea that they have ever had. i am 14 and will be 15 by the next time. i love pokemon and have over 5000 cards. if i could not compeat it could rune the game. i started the day the first starter deck got put on the shelf. that same day. i have not won a tounament yet and i really want to. for the east cost qualifier i took 7th and in the west cost i got 10th. this time i have a deck that will work and now they might not let me in. i think this sucks the big one. and if they think us older kids will just swich to magic there wrong. i hate that game. it is so not as good as pokemon. i tryed it and i hated it. so did all my friends. the only people i know who play it our old fat smelly guys at my local card shop ( but im sure that not all people who play it are like that). i will never change and if i have to i will lie about my age to get in. the compatition was held 2 days after my birthday last year and i will compeat this year. all of my friends feal this way to. so i hope this letter gets to some one and makes them think for at least alittle while about the crime they would be commiting. pokemon is not dead. in fact it is just getting started. its just the fad has gone. but you still have alot of fans. i know nomater how old i get i will always like pokemon and will always pay any price for a boosterbox of card or the newest pikachu figure.
 
sincerly,
