Love how Mahone plays with all types of cards (vintage, modern) as the TCG was meant to be played.
I'm a simple man. I see "Zapdos" in the title, I click to watch :] - Great video Andrew, love the oldschool nostalgic vibes I get from these battles!
Honestly zapdos is the best ❤️
This was super enjoyable, so glad to see someone play not only irl but vintage
Thank you for continuing to do these! I know it's more of a niche thing than "Standard meme deck donks ADP" videos, but I really do enjoy them. A lot of the old formats are really underdocumented on the internet; for some formats, the most info you'll find is just what's written Jason K's blog post and that's it. So it's great to see all eras of the tcg getting some love and some new exploration here 💛
These are easily my favorite videos from Tricky Gym
huge fan!
please do more of those retro decks 👍
BASE SET CONTENT + Physical cards! Online if good, but in person is the best!
MY GOSH, I love this video! It takes me back to my early days playing TCG! Thank you Andrew!
I like what you’re doing with these retro format videos. We can’t experience these formats (aside from tcg one and proxying cards but that’s not as good 😅) so it’s great that you can post videos of these games so we can experience these retro formats
Man, I've mentioned this before, but Pokemon/Nintendo/Game Freak is missing out on a potential gold mine. Imagine reviving the Pokemon TCG video games and releasing a game every year or two that mimics major formats of the past. Releasing *every* format would obviously be somewhat redundant and excessive. But they could do like Gen 1-2 then gen 2-3, then 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7. They'd always release games that are based around out of print cards so they'd never be competing with themselves or hurting their own sales, but it would let newer/younger players experience older formats and cards and older players could relive the nostalgia.
It would even be a reasonably easy game for them to make once they have the base game engine done. Each game after the first would only need to add some updated music (which could be remixes of music from that era of the series) and implement any new card mechanics that were added in that era.
They could even go a step further and have online multiplayer and a simple ranked ladder. This wouldn't compete with PTCGO because that game would always be based on in-print sets that are the current competitive standard, expanded and legacy formats. Official competitions would still be based on those formats (post pandemic) would be in person or held there.
But the video games on Switch would make them more money and provide another avenue to attract fans to the main TCG while also providing an option for casual fans to enjoy the series without having to fork out hundreds or thousands of dollars on old cards.
Also, can I ask if you guys already had these decks, or did you have to shovel out cash to build them?
That’s a really cool concept! We could only dream of such a game series. We already owned these decks and have been building our collection for years before the recent price boom
@@TrickyGym Either way, thanks for sharing! When these decks were legal, I was too young to be able to attend events or afford to build a deck. I was happy to pull a single foil card. lol
@@TrickyGym hey man . how much does cost R.Zapdos cuz i have 3 of them in very good contition.
These videos are my favorite. I don’t play modern Pokémon, but I have so much nostalgia for the older cards/game.
Finally getting around to watching the video after the stream. I really enjoyed the Zapdos Bat deck. The Dark Crobat archetype decks were always my favorite for Base-Neo.
Love the vintage content! Awesome video!
Yessss it’s been too long! This is going to be fun to watch 😍
Ahhh yes...I loved the zapdos/electrode decks in the very first set..that was my deck fer sure
Yooo dude I love your website I just spent less than 5 dollars and got so much stuff. You vids are great I’m definitely dropping a sub.
Yo thanks for supporting the shop!!!
I can only imagine how expensive this format is to play. I've always wanted to make a "Do the Wave" wigglytuff deck.
Every deck that's strategic is against a baby deck and is also strong has my vote!
That's why I played Dark Umbrion with Sneasel, Mukrow and Brock's Mankey!
My favorite Pokémon sneasel that was my neo deck :) I love it
Lot of money on that table. lol
rocket zapdos is my favorite old school card too and played it in haymaker
Doesn't Gold Berry trigger in-between turns? I think you could have used Crobat's Surprise Bit and attacked with Rocket's Zapdos for that active Sneasel KO if you wanted to. I do love the Crobat & Rocket's Zapdos deck!!!
More please!!
I remember those days. Wizards if the coast. Worlds was called super trainer showdown. Great times. Sneasle was too strong. He got banned like right after he came out
Hey Andrew I would love to see you using my build in one of your streams. It's basically a Battle Styles Primeape deck but I also play 3-4 Spiritombs and the Sky Field Stadium and it can OHKO everything in the game
I love me some retro Mon
Japanese promo baby smoochum is so good in crobat decks! Test it out guys!
WE NEED MORE IRL PLAY!!
Modern players: I hate standard, everything hinges on Crushing Hammer flips
Retro players: Haha baby Pokemon and Sneasel go brrrrrrr
Rainbow Energy supposedly provides every type of energy at all times. So did it suddenly start providing Darkness and Metal energy at the beginning of the Neo era? Or was it already providing those types, as well as Fairy, and nobody knew? Will Aurora Energy keep providing the ghost of Fairy energy after the last Fairy cards rotate out in September?
Hey Mahone, did you have a good Easter?
Are you gonna show us the games of the Rayquaza decks and stuff from the stream ?
Go Sneasel! That is my favorite Pokemon :)
The name is pretty funny... “sneasel”
👌👌👌
The sneasel player wasn’t aggressive enough. Sneasel is a Agro deck.
This is the best format to play
Uuuuuh... energy removal ☹️ unless you like that card then it is the best format 😂
@@ephus_ yeah but it's a slow way to play, I like it. if you have ecogym or power acceleration like blastoise that's not a problem
@@Kurkox I get what you’re saying. I’ve played a good bit of haymaker mirror and the way you go about attaching energy is unlike any other format I’ve played. The slowness of the games only appeals to certain people though. I’m not a huge fan, but it was still very refreshing for me to play in slower formats
@@ephus_ for sure. Some people like me prefer it because it has to be more like a memory of our childhood playing this retro cards. That's why maybe also they are very expensive haha
That Ecogym: I really don't get it: a Non Colourless energy = Yes colour energy? Special energy???
I dont understand why Mahone is running metal energy? there are no metal pokemon in his deck.?
It reduces damage done to Cleffa by 10.
@@dellstudio10 ah, doesn't have to be attached to metal pokemon. Gotcha
No amigo manquisimos
Posted 3 minutes ago, 38 minute video, here’s a comment on the exciting ending! 🥳
Awesome deck idea to combine Crobat with Zapdos! I'll try it for this month's Base-Neo League that we organize in the Pokemon 1999 discord server! discord.gg/WtbWWjufKe
I love vintage Pokemon, but I'm tired of everything revolving around it being stuck with people trying to replicate old formats and their rules and nuances. Don't you feel like 4x Cleffa in nearly every deck is a problem? Why not just focus on supporting a wotc only format? The supporters in expedition-skyridge add a lot to decks, and cards like copycat and fan club can help alleviate the need for 4x cleffa. You also get to add some strats for having a slightly larger card pool, without compromising on power level, which would happen after including ruby/sapphire. MTG did this wonderfully with Old School, I really wish this could get supported more by the pokemon community. Adding Pocket Monster cards increases decks as well, and makes expensive holos more accessible.
😮 Had to stop watching as it difficult to see these young guys snapping these vintage cards….sad😢
