About Us

First of all, welcome to SixPrizes.com! We are dedicated to providing you simply the best Pokemon Trading Card Game strategy and advice you will find anywhere on the internet. SixPrizes.com is run by world class Pokemon card players who are for the first time going to share all their knowledge and insights with you; we promise to hold nothing back.

There is no more need to spend countless hours combing through the numerous Pokemon message boards and websites out there for good information. We know how frustrating it can be to sift through post after post and not know who is right. The elite few that typically do know what they are talking about have never made public their knowledge…until now.

This upcoming year may be the most difficult and challenging in Pokemon history. Outside of Japan, this will be the biggest card pool available for the modified format the rest of the world has ever had. This will undoubtedly make for an interesting and confusing year; there will be a plethora of strategies available at our disposal. Which strategies will be the best? Stay tuned to SixPrizes.com to keep up with the latest findings!

Without further ado, our main contributors will now introduce themselves:

Hey everyone! I have only been casually playing the past few years due to a somewhat busy collegiate life, but I am ready rock and roll this coming year! It is going to be a VERY interesting season with the non-existent format rotation; there are just so many cards available to use now. I hope to keep everyone updated on all my findings and to qualify for Worlds again for the first time in a few years.

Aside from Pokemon, I enjoy playing tennis, going thrift shopping, looking as fly as possible, reading poetry, and listening to old fogey music.

Hola people! I’ve been playing the Pokemon TCG since before TPCi took over in 2003, and since 2004 I have been succesful in tournaments. Last season was my all time low, as I only managed to play in 6 tournaments as university life was pretty demanding, but I still managed to qualifiy to Worlds and got Top 32 so all in all not bad. This 2009 – 2010 season though I expect to do much better in terms of tournaments played and won, and of course qualify for the 7th time to Worlds. Hopefully through the site I will be able to share my experience and advice on any and every subject related to the Pokemon TCG.

Other than the Pokemon TCG, my life passion is football (soccer), which I try and play at any chance I have, and I also enjoy the normal stuff: music, hanging out with friends, working out, watching tons of TV series, cinema, etc…
