I have been in many Pokemon Tournies with my friends ( since I'm too old to 
get in a official one!!!! ) and I have picked up on many stupid mistakes. 
Foils are the deciding factor in any Pokemon Battle. I win most of my matches 
because of the opponent's foils. They put out their foil too soon with not 
enough energy. It can be an easy kill. 

Also the bad conditions of cards is just sick. I just feel bad when I see a 
good card look so crappy. I know someone who actually thought the Foils were 
stickers and- let me just say that it wasnt pretty. 

Another deciding factor in a Pokemon Battle is energy. I personally think you 
should never have more the 25 Energy in your deck. I know people that use 45 
energies in one deck. You'll never get you a good Pokemon out in time. I know 
there are some (very few) decks that use lots of energy and are very good. 

Well, that's about it. Please argue with me. If I'm wrong about the energies 
thing please prove me wrong.
