Glad to hear you are commentating in Vancouver.....You are the most engaging commentator at the tournaments and it is clear you truly enjoy the community. You are an ambassador for the game.

[@FrostedCaribou]

That means so much to hear! Thank you!!!!!! 😭

[@rishavkumar9356]

My favourite acoustic tcg explainer

[@auralaur67]

Can confirm these are great events for beginners! Everyone is kind of on a level playing field and even if there are more experienced players there, they're always willing to help you learn! It's a great way to grasp the basics of the game! :3 💙

[@laurensohaney4216]

Omg can I just say how excited I am to be able to watch this video on the same day it's been posted? I found you either yesterday or the day before and I have been ravenously going through your videos. You have gotten me actually super interested in both collecting and playing the game, the latter of which I never really did even the first time around as a kid. Thank you so much for making these entertaining, informative videos that have so much life and joy to them. You're the only Pokemon KZbinr I follow because pretty much everyone else seems to be joyless opening packs to try to get rare cards without actually caring about them or explaining how they can be used.

[@ilikeevelynn3196]

THOSE BUISNESS CARDS ARE U KIDDING 😍

[@Andrewhurley-mh9li]

I was at the prerealse cool to meet you:)

[@FrostedCaribou]

I loved meeting all of you! ♥

[@jakedixonmusic]

This was such a great intro video to Pokémon TCG prereleases! I recently got into MtG and went to a prerelease but didn't even know that Pokémon TCG had prereleases!! I'm definitely going to one

[@banditcountry9374]

Glad you have been more active lately

[@sebzara1190]

You have no idea the impact you made on my son!! He watches your KZbin videos constantly and now he is in one of them!! Thank you for making his entire year!! I've got to admit, mine as well! 🤣 Keep up the posts!!

[@DragonWolf69]

Ok. Im convinced. I am gonna go to the next pre release,whenever that may be. 😊

[@FrostedCaribou]

I think the next set is scheduled for around May! 👀

[@oO_Zerobeat_Oo]

What started me into your channel was the openings, I think Darkness Ablaze era, and PTCGO content. Playing IRL and the TCG side of collecting in general, is a win from me. Love seeing this, we have pre releases but I am from a small town and not a lot of people attend. Keep up the great content, thank you!

[@akaCaptainTang]

I recently got back into Pokemon because of your videos and I'll be going to Orlando to chill with some friends who play and do some side events. :)

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

[@FictionalPersonality]

Please keep uploading more contents. I subscribe to a lot of the major pokemon channels, but your is my favorite. I got back to playing pokemon TCG a few months ago and now I’m addicted to it. Perfecting your deck is amazing task and nobody, I mean nobody is talking about the actual game.

[@Chip-Machamp]

Already subscribed to pokemon on KZbin. Looking forward to your commentary!!

[@FrostedCaribou]

Thank you! ♥

[@siskokidd93]

Bug Catcher Bou!! I'm a huge fan of Sizzilipede and Centiskorch

[@cr239]

Sounds fun! I’ll be on the lookout. Never been to one before.

[@snackbread]

Thanks for this vid. That’s how I found your channel was how to play the tcg

[@JustInBasil]

Awesome vid as always. Best of luck to you in Vancouver! I'm sure you'll be amazing as always!

[@LuckyArrOwO]

That playmat is amazing. I wish they would bring those over here. But also, prerelease are so fun and so chill compared to sweaty standard. lol. All your accessories are so cute T_T

[@88kage]

I sincerely enjoy this video content. I truly would love to see more like this in in the near future thank you for sharing this experience with us. I also love what you have shared with us what you have in your bag every little detail gave us sensation. ✨😁

[@peachypari]

Yayyy a new Bou video! 😃 Love your content like this and you actually got me into playing Pokémon TCG again! It's too bad that there isn't a card shop near me, so if I want to play in person, I have to travel a little bit. Keep up the amazing work! 💖 Also, love love love the Trubbie dice bag!

[@bawling]

we love bou videos 🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻

[@brokenstyx]

Ramble on! I've been to a bunch of these and had no idea about having more than 4x of a card O.O

[@Robck27]

Loved the Taco highlights!

[@imjesuis]

Thank you so much for the video Bouu! Loved watching the pre release

[@thomasneulieb6552]

Loved the video. Am thinking about going from just collecting to playing.

[@opieoperativefunkshady9179]

Congrats on the gig in Vancouver

[@michaeltrujillo7930]

Oh snap that's my shop and I missed the prerelease!!!

[@gabrielquinones7351]

We had a pre release at our local game store and had so much fun with the Koraidon deck but im a sucker cor Feraligatr

[@PokeNewbie]

Cool video, thanks!

[@FrostedCaribou]

Glad you liked it!

[@MsHanBun]

What a fun video! ❤ You always explain things in a very understandable way 👌🏻 My kids and I love to go to pre release tournaments 💙 My kids aren't experienced enough for standard and in a pre release you can shine no matter what level you are on. 🙌🏻 The Pokémon community is just awesome and if you are a new player there will always be lots of people to help you out. 🤗 But as I remember you need your Pokémon ID number to sign up, at least that's the case here. 😊 I will probably never see you in person as I live in Germany but your business card is awesome! 💜💜

[@thebattleofpelennorfieldsp6081]

Congrats on doing well at the pre release

[@leon_charge]

Always charmed, Caribou. Would love to break two build and battle boxes with you! Maybe I’ll win …

[@Skittenadventures]

Love watching your videos, they always make me smile!

[@Tesmikp]

Loved the video! Very informative and funny, love the energy as always =D How are your pets doing? Been a wild since you have tacked about Noodles.

[@theweebsidetv]

Your videos are great! Cant wait to see more

[@Likablemakopuff]

Not the Taco flash back 😂 great video it’s going to be super helpful 💚

[@smokedadooby1879]

2:01 Bouuuuuuuuutiful without the paint in the face. and great video btw. cutting is top and info is perfekt, short and on point! keep going like this

[@pet4g]

I'm still kinda shy and intimidated to join a league in my area. I'm such a newbie. Love your videos, these events look fun

[@victorblas3483]

I loooooove prerelease events! Sadly my LCS moved to a new spot and their game area is not done yet, so they havent done events in a while. Hoping to come back soon!

[@rodrigopumpkin9018]

Thank you for this amazing video!

[@dunmatta2670]

Dang, I stopped by the cardshop by chance when they told me about their prerelease that evening for temporal forces. It's too bad I was uber busy that night. 😢

[@yourpenguins8739]

i also pulled the scovillian ex in my pre release kit!

[@maddiew17]

This was SUPER helpful!! I have been a little intimidated to go and play in a pre-release as I’m brand new player but this was really cool information to get. Thanks, Bou!

[@adjcheeseball]

Finally got my Ace Spec for Giratina VSTAR

[@Monsenh]

You've got some very cool 😎 Pokemon accessories defiantly goals!

[@sugahsean1174]

7:19 😂😂 nooooooo! Can’t wait to have weekends off so I can go to some pre release events!

[@Wontonquan]

I definitely want to get into playing seems really fun 😎

[@kaocleyra]

Okay I'm obsessed with your little Yamper bag for counters!! And the Trubbish dice bag is so good too 💯 I've been meaning to check out a pre-release event! Hopefully I can make it to one for the next set

[@StephenPTCG]

This set was the first chance I got to play in a prerelease! I got the same kit you did and lost my last game in sudden death😪 Great video!

[@Alexalexdave]

Special conditions also a shout at prereleases. Noice video and editing

[@fiidle7794]

Banger. After Banger. After Banger…. After banger

[@FrostedCaribou]

Thank you so much!!

[@sriharuthai]

[@prefiroandardeskt]

Never played a pre-release... maybe one day ^^

[@barnobarriebatsbak1471]

So cool the bou card 👌

[@lukasvyhlidal2279]

That Trubbish Bag 😍😍 i really wish to have one. Anyway very nice video and content 🙂

[@KatEmAll]

I pulled the special illustration rare Iron Leaves ex during my prerelease and everyone around me was stressing because I put it in my deck to play with lol

[@Robck27]

Weekly video OMG!!! What is this!!! bring it on

[@GeraintGough1989]

Great video explaining pre-releases. I went to my first one last week and it was so much fun. Would definitely recommend. This video explains everything really well and you're right everyone is really friendly and helpful and it is very relaxed. Great video enjoy Vancouver. Are you going to EUIC?

[@FrostedCaribou]

No info on EUIC yet!

[@GeraintGough1989]

@@FrostedCaribou Fingers crossed you get to cast on it. Will be a great tournament with rotation and temporal forces being legal. Can't wait for it.

[@volleyworld80]

ngl i've wanted one of those business cards for awhile now 😅

[@mt2345t]

🥰

[@bigben2094]

Have you ever thought about doing deck building videos? I’m still waiting for a really solid trusted channel for pokemon deck builds.

[@bigben2094]

Also if anyone knows any really good deck building channels then please let me know.

[@giyutomioka8628]

I wish I had the frosted caribou card lmao

[@damienphillips9278]

I want a signed bou card 😫 how cool are they 🔥

[@pocahontasseguinart7099]

I’m born the year 1995 January 18th . I’m now 29 and my brother is 32 . We grew up watching and playing Pokémon sence the original was released. My elder brother use to do a lot of cards . I play the games and watch the shows and movies but I never got a chance to collect cards until Pokemon until later I do have sword and sheld .my elder brother had the originals sence the whole beginning but some one stole his years ago and he trades and sell and battles . I was interested in that so when sword and shield and scarlet and violet and up was released I wanted to do this but I want others to teach me . I rather battle even be in World Cup and collect them sell and trade but have positive vibes . I know I won’t 100% understand because I’m born with microcephaly that’s like autism but I want to try . I’m a begainer to battle still but not a noob about pokemon and collecting them . I grew up with Pokemon. My grandmother says Pokeman all the time , she said it yesterday 11:41

[@linked7777]

There’s a BOU trainee card? WHAAAAT? How do I get this awesomeness? 😊

[@PokecChef954]

This was such a great idea for a video! Great job! 🤌

[@erinhines9313]

[@seabiscuitthechallenger6899]

[@elizabethcontreras322]

Not relatedbut curious, what eyeliner do u use. It looks great and matte. 🖤

[@vanessagamez549]

The dice bag… I need 😭 where can I get one?!

[@FrostedCaribou]

I got it from a vendor at a regional championship event. ♥️

[@goffymusiclover]

I can never make it to a prelease event hopefully I can go to the next one P.S. can someone tell me where to get cute dice bags

[@michaelmiranda3023]

🙌🥳✨

[@thepear6684]

Where did you get that yellow Gameboy ?

[@nathanielkass123]

What is your favorite deck with any regulation

[@pokemontrainermegan]

everyone at my table got Feraligatr last prerelease 😭

[@edwarddaignault5243]

Played a game against a fellow who had about 20 energy in his deck...didn't go well for him yeah lol 😆

[@McKai_Gaming]

Hi I’m McKai

[@FictionalPersonality]

How many energies do you normally recommend for a deck?

[@FrostedCaribou]

That really depends on the strat of the deck. Some decks run as little as six energies like Charizard EX and others have ran 14+. If you have ways to search the energy then you can run a bit less because you don't have to draw I to it. If a Pokemon needs to draw into them to accelerate or attack then you may need to run more to increase your odds. For example look at Dialga VSTAR w/ metang.

[@FictionalPersonality]

@@FrostedCaribou thank you for the insight. I kind of realized this when I saw your deck with a LOT of water energies. I currently use a deck with 4 Gholdengo EX, and I need a lot of energies. 14 energy cards and several trainers and supporters seem to do the trick for me. Probably winning about 75% of the time. I wish I could battle you some day 😆🤪
