I Opened a Real Life Pokemon Gym

[@PokeMar-1214]

We were so excited to meet you and JLuv that day, and we had so much fun meeting people, learning the TCG and trading too. We totally agree, we need more events like this in Australia, and it couldn’t have kicked off any better than this. Thanks so much Ando. Thanks heaps to Chris and the team too, they’re awesome peeps, and we love the Pop Attack machines around Melbs.

[@munigarg3771]

7:45 When I first started playing Charizard (its my first deck btw) I also forgot to use Rotom. :0

[@ClefairyGirlRach]

It's so great to see you encouraging the game side to pokemon cards, so many people only focus on the collecting and they miss out on all the fun

[@TommyWilliams-Devgeeks]

This was my first ever TCG tournament, and gave me the experience and confidence to go to Melbourne Regionals. It was sooo cool. Thanks for doing it, and I hope it happens again soon!

[@larryspoon]

This video made my cry so much - the ending, was so emotional.😥😥

[@paddaaweh]

Really? You cried?

[@larryspoon]

@@paddaaweh the first time I have cried in my whole life

[@Ben-gt5px]

Im actually mad if this is real.

[@ChanceDAFull]

Amazing video Ando! This was an incredible idea!!!! So happy it went well, hopefully we'll see more in the future!

[@garagebreaks]

Great video! Those Pop Attack vending machines are so good. Got a few in Adelaide and have had some amazing pulls.

[@slikafboi2737]

He had path to the peak in play when you wanted to use rotoms ability lol

[@GreninjaMaster5]

After watching this video, I can’t wait to play the TCG!

[@chappo91rulz]

I made it on an Unlisted Leaf video!!!!

[@Goldwinner69]

this is why he is a legend. hearing the hotel situation has showed me that even tho he could have looked for closer free parking than 2hrs he does things on his own, taking no hand outs and is the king of pokemon.

[@PhantomW0lf2725]

2:15 legit drive past here every day lol

[@YTLeo11]

Finnaly what i wanted to see uncle ando playing pokemon!

[@noseylowis6857]

I couldn’t go but my brother Jesse Lewis won juniors, he was in the blue tidye shirt, my other brother was in grey. I wish I could of met you but I had something on😢 Thank you for hosting this event, my brother got a box and a half and pulled the iron valiant alt art.

[@tina_marie12]

What a great idea and event you put together Ando! Love this 🫶

[@raikobi]

You’re definitely an Australian Pokémon ambassador! I hope others are inspired to throw more events too

[@DanaKishimoto]

Always a great day when collectors learn and have fun with the game side of things. Cheers!

[@Eevee007King]

This is so fun . I would love to do something like this.

[@nitrozconcepts]

Your a legend ando.

[@MrAnon89]

6:32 Miradion EX vs Charizard EX/Pidgeot ex. This matchup is favoured for zard if the zard player sets up before mainly because the miradion ex player can't really respond to a full HP zard once they've taking the first prize.

[@MrAnon89]

For zard/pidgeot ex you need to know when you shoudl set up zard or when you should set up pidgeot ex if you dont have both.

[@MrAnon89]

7:32 if you were talking about using rotom v ability here you couldn't because path to the peak shuts off rule box ability.

[@asquidnamedowl]

I've been waiting for this video since you teased it in a random video one year ago lol.

[@RandomPlatypus27]

I would LOVE if you came to Sydney!

[@90s_Pokemon_Collector]

This is amazing brother!

[@TTVbbloxham32214]

I definitely believe you could've gotten more than 10 mins of content for this

[@PokeMasterQuinn]

You're the best Ando! You got my Son and I into collecting again and now we started our own channel. Hope to inspire young collectors like you some day! LOVE what you did in Australia, you're the GOAT. Love from the US - MissingnoTCG

[@DestructX]

We need more of these in Eu also

[@pennynoss]

i need long version of this video

[@carlusdarienus]

awesome video, please come to NZ too lol

[@SaihaanTheninja125]

I love your video

[@xtianZ5000]

There are a lot of shops in Adelaide which you can get an idea or even support to set up your tournament. Good Games, Dragon's Lair, Table top Warfare are amongst the shops that are prominent in terms of where to go to for competition, it's where the best players in Adelaide go. Off season for PTCG is usually June so if you want to throw your tournament then you can do it then because people are a lot free as the next season doesn't start till July, so you'll definitely have a lot of people to join in. 🙂

[@jackr126]
