Hello all you Pojo fans,

Kev: This is Kev and Kadabra giving yet another TCG Tip, but I'll warn you,
it is LONG, so if you havent had a good night's sleep, STOP READING NOW!!!
Kadabra: <He's right. It is really long. The reason is that the Master GYM
leader Idiot has booked three special guest stars!>
Kev: That's enough you. (sigh) Ive recently became a Gym leader for the
Indigo Leauge and he has been insulting me more than ever. (For those of you
wondering, I do have more Pokemon than Kadabra.) Besides that, Kadabra has
been acting better. Now let me introduce Ash Ketchum, Misty ... um, er ...,
well, just Misty, and Tracey Sketcher!!
Ash: Hello!
Misty: Hi.
Tracey: Hello!
(Crowd applauds loudly)
Kev: Alright, please quiet down. Now for the card tip.
Kadabra: <Can I do it, Mr. Idiot?>
Kev: Quit calling me that. ... Okay.
Kadabra: <Here we go. Our subject today is... (Drumroll please) ...
Archtypes!     Okay, down to buisness. All the old archtypes, especially
Haymaker, have gotten advancements. But, a new breed of archtypes awaits.
there will be many speed decks in the future, but what I am talking about is
Trapper. Yes, the infamous Trapper. Even the evil company Hasbro is
attempting to put a stop to these decks with a fifteen trainer rule. That
would cripple Raindance, TuffStuff, and Haymaker in piticular. The way to
get around this is to play non-archtype decks. If this rule is proposed,
Fire might just make a big comeback. Moltres stall gets Rocket's and Blaines
moltres, a nice addition. A fire deck that doesnt need a lot of trainers
might be something like a Turbo Ninetales deck, as Fire Blast is a great
attack. (80 for 4 fire energy and only 1 discard is great) Who knows? Fire's
specialty is not strategy, but heavy hits. and we all know about that nasty
100-damage-and-120Hp fire lizard, dont we? Yes, even the infamous Base set
Charizard might snag an appearance. If he does, his better Dark cousin
certianly will. But thats to survive the trainer limit. Lets find out how to
survive Trapper itself.

1. Walls
If your hand is demolished, you are gonna need some beefy pokemon to take a
beatdown while you recover. Chansey, Kangaskhan, Likitung, and even Brock's
Onix come to mind.

2. Lass
Most archtypes rely on Trainers. Trapper basically IS made up of trainers
for the most part. Playing Lass while against Trapper is like dropping a
match into a vat of gasoline. Trapper will go up in smoke against this card.

3. Spy Tactics + IOR
Turn your opponent's strategy against him by using Spy tactics to see his
hand, then using Imposter oak's Revenge and forcing him to shuffle RSAs,
IORs, and TNTs.

4. Major Card drawing
Include even more card drawing-cards than usual to recover as fast as
possible after Trapper strikes. you'll need to get a huge hand to survive.

5. Speed
If you dont want walls, then try to win the game as quickly as possible to
keep your opponent's chances of getting a Team Rocket's Trap to a minimum.
Trappers are also very fast decks, so this might not work well.

There you have it. These tips will hopefully save people from falling prey
to Trapper decks. Now, let's ask for our guest stars' opinions! Ash, how do
you feel about Trapper decks?>
Ash: Well, I dont know. I think it kind of takes away the purpose of the
game, dont you think? If your going to get your hand demolished and your
Pokemon beaten down, it isnt any fun.
Misty: Same here.
Tracey: Yeah, and theres nothing to draw pictures of, as there are not many
Pokemon in Trappers.
Kadabra: <There you have it. Trapper takes away the porpouse of the game.>
Kev: Great job, Kadabra. I'll take it from here. Now Misty, you said you
have something to add.
Misty: I do. Psyduck, GO!
(Pokeball opens and Psyduck pops out)
Misty: Psyduck, go get Mysterious Fossil
Psyduck: Psi yi yi!
(Psyduck leaves and comes back with a tray of bones)
MIsty:Thank you. Psyduck return. Mysterious Fossil, what do you think of
Trapper decks?
Mysterious Fossil: Mysterious! Foss Foss ill! Mysterious Fossil! Foss ill
Foss! Myst Fossil!
Misty: Very good. Mysterious Fossil return!
Kev: Kadabra, translate please. By the way Misty, Bo Vu said you were his
girlfriend, but all along I thought you were Ash's. What happened?
Misty: WHAT???
(Misty socks Kev in the face. This catches Kev by suprise and he falls to
the floor, barely consious)
Kev:  ....  No, I dont like jellyfish...
Kadabra: <He'll be okay. He is just dizzy. He'll recover in a few minutes...
I think. I'll translate what Mysterious Fossil said.
Fossilhead said that he thought that some places might ban Trappers from
tourneys, but Wizards and Hasbro would have nothing to do with it. In other
words, they would not be banned widely.>
Ash: Thanks Kadabra.
(A girl teleports in wearing a Marsh Badge on her shirt)
Girl: Hello Kadabra. Where's Kev?
Kadabra: <Uh... right there.>
Girl: Mr. Mime, Go! Use your Doubleslap to wake Kev up!
Mr. Mime: MimeMimeMimeMimeMime!!
Kev: Ow! Oof! Ouch! Yowch! ... Oh, hi Sabrina.
Sabrina: I came here for two reasons. One, you need to give these papers to
Koga. Two, Team Rocket's heading toward here.
Kev: Why?
Sabrina: Butch and Cassiady don't like the article you are doing. They
invented Team Rocket's Trap, you know. (Teleports away)
Kev: (looks at the papers Sabrina gave him) ' The Parasailing Prevention for
Poisonous Pokemon '? Weird.
Tracey: Come on guys, let's go stop Team Rocket.
Kev: Kadabra, Teleport us.
(They teleport away, and land in front of what looks like the whole Team
Rocket.)
Cassiady: There they are.
Ash: Squirtle! Bulbasaur! Lapras! Pikachu! GO!
Tracey: Marril! Venonat! Syther! GO!
Misty: Staryu! Goldeen! GO! huh? PSYDUCK! Get back!
Kev: Nidoqueen! Ninetales! Weezing! Haunter! GO!
Butch: Electrode! GO! Explosion attack Now!


BOOM!!

Cassiady: By!
(Ash, Misty, Tracey, Kev, and all their Pokemon go flying out of sight.)
Kadabra: <We're Blasting Off Again!>  *ding*

Until next time (whenever we land)
Kev and Kadabra
