master_trainer_mike says, "there's a cat"
master_trainer_mike says, "and a hat"
master_trainer_mike says, "named..."
master_trainer_mike says, "Jehosaphat"
darkmt_mike says, "Thanks for all the Deck submissions! I have been sifting through them!"
darkmt_mike says, "Stop the rhyming!"
master_trainer_mike says, "I'm a poet and I wan't aware of it!"
master_trainer_mike bows gracefully.
darkmt_mike says, "Okay. What do we have today!"
master_trainer_mike says, "So we see questions trickling in, so let's begin!"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #88 from chrisbo:From the Prof list... Just to confirm, Umbreon's & Murkrow's "Feint Attack" is unaffected by Erika's Dratini's "Strange Barrier" and Lily Pad Mew's "Neutral Shield", right?
master_trainer_mike says, "RIGHT!"
darkmt_mike says, "Corect!"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #89 from steelixownzu:Is there any where I can go to find the latest team rules?
master_trainer_mike says, "That leads into something to tell you about."
master_trainer_mike says, "We will be posting updated Pokemon Florr rules on our web site on Jan 1, 2003."
master_trainer_mike says, "All errors will be corrected, Team Rules will be updated"
master_trainer_mike says, "AND"
master_trainer_mike says, "Slowking (Neo Geneis) will be BANNED from Modified starting on Jan 1, 2003 as well!"
master_trainer_mike says, "Whaddaya think o' that?!?!?!"
master_trainer_mike smiles.
darkmt_mike shakes his head.
darkmt_mike smirks.
master_trainer_mike says, "This, of course, means that it will no longer be playable in Team Constructed either (as that uses the current Modified format)."
darkmt_mike says, "No more King"
master_trainer_mike says, "Of ocurse, it can still be used in Unlimited and Limited events."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #90 from farbsman:MTM, did you plan on listing the professors you recieved Delegate sheets from on Wizpog and where they planned on visiting?
master_trainer_mike says, "I will post the Delegate list on the Professor email list soon."
master_trainer_mike says, "I will only post locations that have been reported on."
master_trainer_mike says, "Otherwise, Professors could tell me they were going to go someplace and then never go."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #91 from jackiej:if i'm in a battle against Dark Feraligatr and my opponent has Rockets hideout in play. Dark Gatr has 80 damage, and i play energy stadium. would Dark Gatr be knocked out?
darkmt_mike says, "Correct it would be knocked out."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #92 from yoshi1001:Re: 88 Does it matter if e. dratini/ Mew is active or not?
master_trainer_mike says, "No, Feint cuts through these effects."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #93 from farbsman:Hey MTM and DMTM, thanks for everything you have done for us Professors and Master Professors and the players in general this year. I just wanted to make sure you knew we all appreciate your hard work
master_trainer_mike says, "Thank you :)"
darkmt_mike says, "Your welcome, we try harder because we care more!"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #94 from bodragon:I have been hearing something about a Super BattleZone. Is this a rumor?
master_trainer_mike says, "Nope, info on this will appear on the web site soon."
master_trainer_mike says, "Keep Feb 1st open though."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #95 from enik_the_sleestak:is that really necessary to ban neo1 slowking? what about making it restricted to 1 or something less drastic?
master_trainer_mike says, "Yes it is. Japan has wanted us to remove this card for a long time now. By banning it, we solve several rules problems and make our licensor happy."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #96 from michel1be:Why have you decided to ban Slowking ?
darkmt_mike says, "Look above!"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #97 from pokemonfighter:can you help me i want to take the professor test but i cant submite my info to get the e mail can you help me
master_trainer_mike says, "I heard that there was some technical issues with the test. They are being looked into. The submit button seems to have disappeared."
master_trainer_mike says, "We should have it fixed soon."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #98 from marril2000:hey mike, i was wondering if you had any more information for Super BattleZone? are the rummors true that it is replacing the Challenge Series (which may harm the playing field over here in New England :/)
master_trainer_mike says, "It is NOT replacing the Challenge series."
master_trainer_mike says, "Geez, we find some extra budget and decide to throw some extra stuff your way and the rumors start already........"

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #99 from pokemonfighter:if there is a eleckid as a active pokemon and there is anthore eleckid as a active do you have to flip a coin to use his power
darkmt_mike says, "Nope. No flip needed it is a Pokemon Power and not an attack."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #100 from nopoke59:Light Azumarill's Bubble Jump attack: You only do the 'Then run away' part if you get heads?
master_trainer_mike says, "Correct, both effects are tied to the coin flip. Just badly templated."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #101 from wizo_pokemom:Will there be a chat on 26 December?
darkmt_mike says, "No there won't Mom!"
darkmt_mike says, "Thanks for reminding us about that. No Chat on the 26th."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #102 from steelixownzu:With Gengar from Expedition in Team, do you count one person or the whole team?
master_trainer_mike says, "The whole team."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #103 from jackiej:RE:89: whew! i was afraid slowking would rip my deck appart. anyway, any new news on Challenge Series?
master_trainer_mike says, "There was too much worry about Slowking, he was stagnating the field, so now he can keep Sneasel company."
master_trainer_mike says, "No news on Challenge series at this time."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #104 from enik_the_sleestak:please explain the new rulings on ho-oh / porygon2... I thought I understood it, but after reading all the posts about it on WizPOG, now I'm not sure exactly how it works...
master_trainer_mike says, "Nope. This has been covered a zillion times already."
master_trainer_mike smirks.
master_trainer_mike says, "Ok, one more time."
darkmt_mike says, "ONE MORE TIME!"
master_trainer_mike says, "Ho-Oh ONLY DOES EXTRA DAMAGE FOR EVERY DIFFERENT ACTUAL PHYSICALLY PRESENT BASIC ENERGY CARD ON IT!"
master_trainer_mike says, "You can call a fire energy a steam engine but it still won;t count as a different basic energy card."
master_trainer_mike says, "So, changing what type of energy a card provides, does NOT change what that card actually is."
master_trainer_mike says, "It does change what it counts as in that a card that provides energy of a certain type, is considered an energy card of that type."
master_trainer_mike says, "Meaning, you make a Basic grass energy provide fire (like with Dary Porygon 2) and now that counts as a fire energy card."
master_trainer_mike says, "Any effect that can move a fire energy card like Rocket Charmander's Gather Fire can affect it."
master_trainer_mike says, "HOWEVER, it is NOT a BASIC FIRE ENERGY CARD."
master_trainer_mike says, "It is a basic grass energy card that also counts as a fire energy card (because it provides fire energy)."
darkmt_mike says, "If you are looking for logic in all the rulings...you are looking at the wrong Game."
darkmt_mike says, "It was never meant to have the kind of high level scrutiny that we have to apply to it. So some things do not make a lot of sense, but..."
darkmt_mike says, "That is just the way it has to be."
master_trainer_mike says, "Ho-oh was made to specifically encourage players to run multi-color decks. You will see more cards like this in Aquaplois and Skyridge as well."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #105 from kingkyle3:In the professor e-mails you said that wizards sin't aloud to make new cards..well what was the "Wizards made" set all about (or has that been cancelled)?
master_trainer_mike says, "Obviously that hasn't happened yet. We hope it will but we will all have to wait and see."
master_trainer_mike says, "The point in that email is that we do not have the right to alter existing cards. We are trying to work to create our own new ones but that is still being worked on."
master_trainer_mike says, "We cannot simply change a card that we think needs to be changed."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #106 from chrisbo:If I attempt to play a card that requires a discard cost (CPU Search, Item Finder, etc.) and Chaos Gym is active, do I have to pay the cost *before* the Chaos Gym test? And if I fail, does the opponent have to pay the cost too if they want to use it?
master_trainer_mike says, "Yes and yes."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #107 from chrisbo:Another one... If I attempt to play a card that requires a discard cost (Computer Search, Item Finder, etc.) and the opponent has a Slowking, do I have to pay the cost *before* the check for Mind Games?
master_trainer_mike says, "Yes."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #108 from enik_the_sleestak:any news on estimated release date for aquapolis?
darkmt_mike says, "Sometime in January."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #110 from michel1be:Will Europe have Super Battle Zone too ?
master_trainer_mike says, "That is up to them. We were able to squeeze it in. I don't know if they have the budget or not."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #111 from marril2000:any information reguarding the Pokemon Player Rewards System mentioned wayback when? is it still sitting as being a near-future possibility?
master_trainer_mike says, "That is still on the table. Once we know the way it is, we will let you know."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #112 from pokemonfighter:if you use the new tranitar and the vensaure with energy trans can you move the energys off the new tranitar with his pokemon body
darkmt_mike says, "No."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #113 from chrisbo:Will there be Chat on January 02?
darkmt_mike says, "Yup!"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #114 from enik_the_sleestak:what would you like for Christmas (or Kwanzaa, etc., if you prefer) ?
darkmt_mike says, "I want the Extended Two Towers DVD."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #115 from matthewssandslash:What's this I hear about Slowking?? Banned in Modified?
darkmt_mike says, "He is?"
master_trainer_mike says, "Starting Jan 1,2003. Come late and ya miss the goodies!!"
darkmt_mike says, "Oh yeah...starting Jan. 1st"

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #116 from michel1be:Sneasel, Brookses and now Slowking ... crowded in that box !
darkmt_mike says, "Yes...it will be crowded."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #117 from jackiej:are promos banned from MMF? and will Neo Genesis be taken out of the format later on?
master_trainer_mike says, "Nothing else changes."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #118 from farbsman:Since we can't submit tournament reports after the 16th because the offices are closed (well I think that was why) does that mean there is no chat the 19th either?
darkmt_mike says, "WE will be here slaving away...so yes there will be a chat on the 19th"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #119 from enik_the_sleestak:Have you considered releasing english promos of some of the Japanese Vending 1,2, and 3 sets (some interesting cards there, I think)?
master_trainer_mike says, "Where do you think some of last years Year 3 League promos came from???"

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #121 from pokesensei:In Team Play,I`m using Card E VilePlume`s PP Poison Pollen and I flip heads.Does the pokemon I target it with stay the "defending Pokemon" meaning I can only attack that Poke when I use an attack?
darkmt_mike says, "Correct."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #122 from pokemonfighter:will they ever bring back the base set chansey
darkmt_mike says, "Hmm....the magic eightball says...."
darkmt_mike says, "NO!"
darkmt_mike says, "Sorry..the future is not clear."
darkmt_mike says, "Try again later"
master_trainer_mike says, "Sensei, to complete what you asked, you must still attack that PLAYER. Of course, a tariner or other effect might switch what their Active Pokemon is before you actually attack."
darkmt_mike says, "No more questions?"
master_trainer_mike says, "Cool, I can start mailing out these Delegate kits then!"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #123 from pokemonfighter:what is the next battle zone promo
darkmt_mike says, "Do you have a song ready?"

darkmt_mike says, "It's Spinarak!"
master_trainer_mike says, "The January kits will ship out soon though."
darkmt_mike says, "Okay. It's not."
master_trainer_mike says, "So, to be clear, the new BattleZone kits for January can be used starting Jan 1st."
master_trainer_mike says, "So the promo in that kit becomes tournament legal starting Jan 1st, m'kay?"

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #125 from yoshi1001:So my delegate kit is going to WI, then?
master_trainer_mike says, "Geez Yoshi! YES!!!!!"

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #124 from marril2000:so... i asked this last week and you hand more time to think, what do you want for the holidays?
master_trainer_mike says, "I want world peace!"
darkmt_mike says, "I want Maple Bars!"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #127 from matthewssandslash:Re: 115... Hey, I come 5 minutes late and I get yelled at... =P Will any more cards be banned from MMF?
master_trainer_mike says, "I always get yelled at when I'm late! Why should you guys be spared??"
master_trainer_mike smirks.
master_trainer_mike says, "The ONLY change to Modified, is that Slowking (the Neo Genesis) version is banned starting Jan 1,2003."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #128 from jackiej:what's the best way too encourage a wal-mart store to run BZ?
master_trainer_mike says, "The same way you encourage any store. Tell them what the program is like, mention how many players there are in your area,"
master_trainer_mike says, "you could always volunteer to help run it, etc."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #129 from pokesensei:To clarify #121:That would only be for that turn?So next turn,if I didn`t use Poison Pollen,I could then choose?
master_trainer_mike says, "Correct, since it is an activated power, every time you use it, you couyld specify a new Defending Pokemon."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #130 from chrisbo:Will the January BattleZone kits have a different promo than the December kits?
master_trainer_mike says, "Of course!"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #131 from neo_fox:really!? I would have thought you guys want world domination!
master_trainer_mike says, "We already ownz you all........."
darkmt_mike says, "I had that last year."
darkmt_mike says, "It wasn't as fullfiling as I expected."
darkmt_mike says, "Gengar liked it though!"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #132 from tehairyclefairy:Mike can you ban Slowking for the South East England Challenge this Sunday in the UK?
master_trainer_mike says, "Nope. Sorry this change starts Jan 1, 2003."
darkmt_mike grins evilly.

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #134 from pokesensei:Delegate shirts...to make sure on what you said before.Professors running BZ 3 months in a row will also get them?
master_trainer_mike says, "Yes."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #135 from jackiej:will Nidoking from Aquapolis be better than the Base one?
master_trainer_mike says, "Different. It will have different uses."
darkmt_mike says, "Like the original better."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #136 from yoshi1001:Re: 124 Sorrry, I'm here. No world peace. ;) Any progress on that new prof level?
master_trainer_mike says, "I'm barely able to keep up with what we are doing now."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #137 from pokesensei:Will you be keeping track to those people(the BZ site) and send them automatically?
master_trainer_mike says, "You MUST send in complete forms (if it is run as leagues) or be listed as the TO or head judge if it is sanctioned."
master_trainer_mike says, "You don;t submit, we must acquit!"

darkmt_mike says, "Gengar"
master_trainer_mike says, "Fistandantilus!"
darkmt_mike says, "His is Weeedle"
darkmt_mike says, "The original or Rockets F?"
master_trainer_mike says, "I prefer the Light Fistandantilus myself."
master_trainer_mike says, "Thoogh the Oingo-Boingo version has its merits too."
darkmt_mike says, "Sounds like a non-dairy creamer."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #139 from gym_leader_blaine:whatif another professor signed a store up to be there delegate and introduce the program to them, but you have talked with the owner a couple weeks before that about being the delegate and running tournaments for them, can you still run the battelzone tournaments and the league even if you were not there delegate?
master_trainer_mike says, "Yes, the Delegate explaisn the program to the store. Anyone can actually run the programs."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #140 from soslowpoke:o_O Whoever thought a Slowpoke could turn into something that vicious?
master_trainer_mike says, "Or that confusing?!?!?!"
darkmt_mike says, "True. True."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #141 from pokemonfighter:on the promo lelly pad mew if you magbe sputer and then use dark gengar pull in does lelly pad mew power come back on
master_trainer_mike says, "Who is being pulled in?"

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #142 from yoshi1001:For that Ho-oh/Porygon2 deal, what is your source for making that ruling (ie did Japan say so)?
darkmt_mike says, "We are the source."
master_trainer_mike says, "Guys we have been working with Japan since the beginning and try to do what they want."
master_trainer_mike says, "Please give it a rest."
darkmt_mike says, "Sory Yoshi you don't get a vote. Rulings are not a democracy."
master_trainer_mike says, "We certainly welcome your thoughts and discussions but once it is ruled, please accept it and move on."
darkmt_mike says, "We have reasons for making all these rulings."
darkmt_mike says, "Need to look down the road."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #143 from pokemonfighter:the promo lelly pad mew is being pulled in
master_trainer_mike says, "Then yes, that would work. It gets pulled. Its power is still off because Sputter only ends when Magby gets Benched."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #144 from gym_leader_blaine:MTM did you find anything more out about Unown R promo card? DO you think we will ever get it?
master_trainer_mike says, "It is now being considered for the future."
master_trainer_mike says, "I was pushing for the Unown oomlat myself......"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #145 from jackiej:my friend thinks that Japanese cards are more valueable than American cards. is that true?
master_trainer_mike says, "A card is worth whatever you can get for it."
darkmt_mike says, "So true."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #146 from toysruskid:Why not add Cleffa,Tyrouge to the banned list?
darkmt_mike says, "They will cry..."
darkmt_mike says, "They're Babbies."
master_trainer_mike says, "Because 1, they don;t cause as many problems, 2 Japan isn't angry with those cards, and 3, dceks are not built around them (or counter to them)."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #147 from tehairyclefairy:MTM/DMTM in your playtesting did you find Slowking too strong with the cards expected from Aquapolis? I was mebbie thinking Warp Point and how broken swarms would be with the King (is dead)
master_trainer_mike says, "There are many reasons for a card being banned. Japan wanted this card gone."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #148 from calathon:So you can always Energy Trans a Grass Energy card, even if its been converted, because its always a Grass Energy card?
master_trainer_mike says, "No, it is still physically a basic grass energy cartd, but it counts as a fire (if that is what you chose) energy card."
master_trainer_mike says, "Venusaur has you move grass energy cards."
master_trainer_mike says, "Ho-oh counts the number of actual different BASIC energy cards."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #149 from mysticzapdos_x:Will the winners of Super Battlezone get invitations or trips to Worlds? (or be connected in anyway to Worlds for that matter)
master_trainer_mike says, "It is not connected to Worlds or the Challenge series. It is just another opportunity for youto play and earn cool stuff."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #151 from soslowpoke:What's your opinion of Promo Igglybuff? certain someones consider it the best staller after steelix...
master_trainer_mike says, "It is a decent staller. But that is true of all babies to some degree. While you keep putting them Asleep, you aren;t actually doing any damage."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #153 from tehairyclefairy:Have Japan shown any further concerns over specific cards? Details? For the purposes of discussions...
master_trainer_mike says, "Can't really talk about specifics. Sorry."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #155 from jackiej:do you think Dark Ursarang can be as good as Sneasle?
darkmt_mike says, "Nope."
darkmt_mike says, "Depends, it is all situational."
master_trainer_mike says, "It involves a lot of coin flips and can damage you just as much as your opponent. Iffy."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #156 from enik_the_sleestak:What other cards are on your "hit list" for possible banning; personally, I'd love to see tyrogue banned?
master_trainer_mike says, "I'm sorry guys but we can't discuss stuff like that."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #157 from soslowpoke:Do you have any more details on Super Battlezone? (other than what was mentioned in DMTM's post on the gym?)
master_trainer_mike says, "Full details will be up online hopefully next week."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #158 from calathon:So we now have a type of energy card, and that energy card may have a different Basic type, all at the same time? It counts for some game effects, but not for others? I'm sorry, it makes no sense to me...
master_trainer_mike says, "Ok, let's make this really simple."
master_trainer_mike says, "The ONLY time this is an issue is with the Ho-Oh."
master_trainer_mike says, "That Ho-oh should says do an extra 10 damage for each actula different basic energy card attached. Changing what typoe of energy a basic card provides does NOT add an additional 10 damage with that attack."
master_trainer_mike says, "Play everything else as it has been done."
master_trainer_mike says, "Nothing else has changed!"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #159 from monkeyman8889:realisticly there wont be a GC til After Feb 18 huh? :-P
master_trainer_mike says, "Dunno, we'll let you know when we know."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #160 from jackiej:is there a non-Professor mailing list i can be on for Pokemon TCG updates?
darkmt_mike says, "Nope but you can go to our message Boards and our we site for info."
darkmt_mike says, "http://boards.wizards.com/tcg-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?category=4"
master_trainer_mike says, "By the way, just wanted to pass along that there are now over 200 BattleZone sites in december."
master_trainer_mike says, "Another clkose to 500 will start in Hanuary."
master_trainer_mike says, "We are getting inquiries about running BattleZone in Argetina, Dominican Republic, and many other places around the world."
master_trainer_mike says, "There are alsmot 600 Professors, almost 100 Delegates signed up so far."
master_trainer_mike says, "Who says Pokemon is dead?????"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #161 from pokemonfighter:i ask if you used iggly buffs power to shut off lelly pad mew power can you still use dark gengar to pull it in and ko it
master_trainer_mike says, "Dunno. Does any remeber if there had been a ruling in the past about this sort of thing?"
master_trainer_mike says, "Haven't been asked an Iggly question in over a year."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #162 from enik_the_sleestak:what's the address again to submit articles ? (BTW nice stuff DMTM ! )
darkmt_mike says, "Thanks. You can submit Decks in the Stratagey section of the Pokemon site. Not articles though"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #163 from neo_fox:I thought I had made it clear in the post @ WizPoG... as I see it, when a card ask for energy card it refers to the type of energy the card provides but when its asks for Basic Energy Card or Special Energy Card it refers to the actual card it self... right?
master_trainer_mike says, "That is a great way to put it. Thanks."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #164 from wizo_pokemom:re the number of Battlezone sites: how does that compare to the number of leagues?
master_trainer_mike says, "Well, Year 3 ended with a little over 600 locations. So BattleZone will start with more in January and we will help make it grow, right? :)"
darkmt_mike says, "Here is the Address for submiting decks...."

darkmt_mike says, "Lower right hand corner."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #165 from nopoke59:any chance of some crytic clues as to the identity of winner promo #2
master_trainer_mike says, "And I think it's going to be a long long time..........."
darkmt_mike says, "Good clue!"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #166 from pokemonfighter:i was wondering about the iggly buff because i try to use it aginst lelly pad mew and the professor tells me that once it hits the active its power is on i just wanted to conferm it
master_trainer_mike says, "Yes, once a Pokemon that has been targeted by Igglybuff is moved up from the Bench, then the Iggly's effect ends."
master_trainer_mike says, "Any last requests?"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #167 from pokemonfighter:k thank you for the info
master_trainer_mike says, "Thank you all for coming :)"

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #169 from jackiej:what are maple bars?
