Unfortunately Wizards of the Coast and The Pokemon Company have
decided to go separate ways after this. The cards will continue to be
printed, it just will not be by Wizards of the Coast.
The real issue is since Wizards of the
Coast will stop printing cards, this also means they stop supporting
Pokemon in DCI Tournaments like Super Battlezone, Battlezone, Pokemon
League, WCSTS, ECSTS, STS Qualifiers, World Championships, Stadium
Challenges, Gym Challenges, and at conventions. What we are trying to
do is convince Pokemon USA and The Pokemon Company (TPC) that
organized play is important for the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Without
it, we would be stuck with a bunch of cards that we could only play
with our friends. We would never be able to meet anyone else,
interact, trade cards, gain experience, see new deck ideas, and most
importantly buy Pokemon TCG Products. Players do not collect the
cards. Players play with cards. I urge everyone to continue
calling and mailing your opinions to Pokemon USA. Here is their
address:
