1997 was the year a life long addiction started for me. It was the year I started watching this weird show from Japan. Soon after, I started collected the cards from this show, until I was introduced to the video game. From there, it hasnt ended. Pokemon has pretty much comsumed my youth and all of recent free time.

Pokemon is one of the most competitive, and tatical expriences in gaming. Combined with Nintendo wifi, it has spawned an extremely dedeciated sub-group of gamers all vowing to master the complexed strategy in this game.

With the realease of POKEMON PLATIUM, the Competitive Battle scence dubbed CB is only growing larger.

Here are the sites I currently use to schuele battles and tournaments.
