What to pack for a Pokémon TCG regional or international tournament event

[@SamVonParisSVP]

This helped me so much. Regional Lille will be my first Regional. Thanks for all the tips and maybe see you there!

[@pumpkaamy]

I’m so so pleased and you absolutely will see me in Lille!!!

[@logana5479]

Even though I already knew the obvious ones like the sleeves and deckbox points, there were some things I learned! These include bringing your own pen for match slips and bringing things like plushies or fidget toys for example. Thank you as always for being so kind to people and helping out as much as you do!

[@pumpkaamy]

I’m so glad it was helpful even for a seasoned player! 🥰

[@chimosgameclub9765]

When you said snacks, I got reminded of the little girl grabing her snacks and yelling "SNACKS"

[@pumpkaamy]

I LOVE that kid and I reference that video all the time irl so maybe I was accidentally channeling it 😅😂😂😂

[@chimosgameclub9765]

@@pumpkaamy Ït really is one of the greatest videos of all time! I also refrence it from time to time!!! Its really cute

[@stark_raving_dad]

Great tips. As a parent who took his young kids to a regional event I agree with the snacks reco. Actually, I would pack a full lunch. Also, if you’re a parent/observer I would HIGHLY recommend bringing a simple camp chair. I know it sounds wierd, but our venue (Milwaukee) didn’t have any seating near the tables so I was standing (or sitting on the concrete floor) for the larger part of 10 hours. I swore next time I would bring a chair. Ha ha.

What a great dad. It makes me happy reading this and seeing that you are invested into your childs hobby

[@supermalukim8447]

Amy, whe you are explaining the deckbox, the background ost goes over your voice. 2:10 I dont know if it is intentional or not, but it ends in 4:25 But content wise you are killing!

[@pumpkaamy]

Yes I see! I’ll see if I can fix it 😢

[@Gabby_Kat]

Very helpful video Amy, I can't wait to see you and Sunny and anyone else that goes!

[@shugogh12]

Hayfever pills so the plants don't kill me 😂

[@pumpkaamy]

SAAAAME ugh it’s necessary- no touching grass for us

[@essential4499]

As a new poker player I do want you to like states' regional events. I like to get some competitive experience, so this video seems very helpful.

[@pierslewis3625]

Great video! Thank you! Hope to meet you at Birmingham regionals! 🎉

[@pumpkaamy]

You will do!!! Come say hi :3

@@pumpkaamy​​⁠will do!! I’ll be the one with the Snorlax backpack 😂

[@mellowasiam]

I'm sure based on the previous videos you've posted you'll probably eventually get to it, but I was wondering if you'd eventually do a video about everything you need to do for going to a regional? Whenever I go to card shops that are big on Pokemon, they ask if I'm going to , and I usually respond something like "I'm not sure I'm ready to play a big tournament like that"

[@pumpkaamy]

That’s an absolutely incredible idea, I will get on it right away 😊 Thank you!

[@SelleanofPeril]

Very informative, thank you!

[@pumpkaamy]

Glad it was helpful! And have fun at your events :3

[@SelleanofPeril]

@@pumpkaamy You brought up a lot of points I wouldn’t have thought of like the double deck box with extra sleeves? Genius!! Watching this definitely gave me a better idea of how to prepare. Thanks for your insights and I hope your events go well for you!

[@JaimeJMarrero]

Thanks for the content! Hoping to one day attend one

[@pumpkaamy]

You should!

[@yodaobama9287]

can you use sleeves you already have on? i have some i’ve been using for around a month and they still work perfectly fine, so i dont really want to buy 2 more things of sleeves. I was gonna buy one new set anyway, but if i can use the ones i have now in addition that would be great. So is it a rule that you have to have new sleeves when you go to the regionals?

[@DragoTFH]

2:10 did the video get copyright claimed somehow or bugged? I can see you and the subtitles but after this point I can only hear music until 4:27

[@pumpkaamy]

I THINK I fixed it, thank you friend 😊

[@DragoTFH]

@@pumpkaamy Alrighty Yeah No worries. I am guessing You edit in the built in KZbin editor and you put the Music track's in there and that's what caused it but I thought I would point it out instead of it being like that and nobody noticing it.

[@supafish93]

I have to know how you got the drawstring dice bag! Looks like Pokémon Center Japan's website only will ship to Japanese addresses :( Great video otherwise! Super helpful!

[@pumpkaamy]

I order mine from a site called Mecca Japan! They’re very reasonable and ship to the UK and elsewhere

[@supafish93]

@@pumpkaamy I’ll have to check it out! Thank you!!

[@AfilXDev]

Great video

[@pumpkaamy]

Thank you SO MUCH, more to come 🥰

1) deodorant 2) sanitizing wipes for cleaning seats covered in piss 3) a sense of dignity (I hope?)

[@jarredingersoll2772]

I got this LL Bean backpack that ive used for the last 8 years that i would recommend anyone use if they are looking for a bag. It has enough room to fit pretty much everything you would need and more. God only knows if they still sell it. Edit, did some digging and looking around. It's the LL Bean quad backpack and they sure don't sell them anymore 😔

[@bdup159]

Loops or hi fyi ear buds are a go to for me. Theres no sound just blocks extra spund its so loud in there.

[@pumpkaamy]

That’s SUCH. A great idea! I need to get me some

[@newname2]

Thank you Amy !!

[@pumpkaamy]

You are so welcome!

[@dominikspangenberg9712]

As a rather large person i would advise my fellow round ones - remember you will be sitting in some small chairs and not everyone needs/wants to see your crack. Appropriate pants/underwear is recommended. :)

[@pumpkaamy]

Absolute fantastic tip! Thank you 😊
