darkmt_mike says, "8"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1866 from indigomaster33:during gencon, will the side event drafts and sealed events be held on all 4 days?
master_trainer_mike says, "They will be run whenever enough players sign up (and a judge is available)."
master_trainer_mike says, "So they could be run all 4 days if the demand is there."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #1867 from marril2000:How about a good ol classic question? Those little stampers now... er rainbow energy, can provide darkness and metal energy, correct? ;)
darkmt_mike says, "yes but not the effects of metal and Darkness. Just counts as them"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1868 from professorcfk:I've heard rumors that WotC has stoped producing Pokemon*E Sky Ridge, is this true?
master_trainer_mike says, "Not true. I have heard that it is sold out, but that is not the same thing."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1869 from pokemonfighter:on the new skyridge beedrill on the poke power or body poison and paralized does that last untill your oppents end turn or your turn
master_trainer_mike says, "What do you mean? The defending Pokemon is Poisoned and Paralyzed using the normal rules."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1870 from pokemonfighter:mtm are you going to be at gen con i have allways wanted to play you
master_trainer_mike says, "I will be there but be VERY busy running Pokemon and Risk 2210 stuff. There will also be product and prize support for pick up Harry Potter events if any of you still play that game as well."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #1871 from soslowpoke:If I've been recruited to judge the FAT, Team, and all those other big fun things at Gencon, does that mean I'll miss out on all the goodies?

darkmt_mike says, "Yes blame Gengar whenever you get a chance."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1874 from lance313:I don't know whether you can divulge, but most places are dry regarding Skyridge. Is more being printed?
master_trainer_mike says, "I honestyly don't know."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #1875 from dark_togetic:Question about Aquapolis Octillery... Let's say I have Octillery active and I use Gust Of Wind. Will the Defending Pok�mon get to keep its Energies? I'd say yes, since Gust of Wind isn't the same as retreating, right? Same with Switch?
darkmt_mike says, "Only when it "retreats" so it will not work with GOW"
darkmt_mike says, "It keeps its energies"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1876 from drpoke:In TMP, team A won the coin toss and elected to go 1st, team B both players did not have a basic poke on their starting hands. 1 player in team A did not have any pokemon.

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1878 from drpoke:Does Team A draw and extra card? Or does it cancels each other
master_trainer_mike says, "Each time a player has to mulligan in TMP, each player on the opposing team can choose to dra a card."
master_trainer_mike says, "So in your example, most likely each player on Team A would end up drawing two cards (once for each player using the mulligan on Team B)."
master_trainer_mike says, "Of course if more mulligans take place, a rip in the time-space continium COULD happen, so mulligan warily."
master_trainer_mike smirks.

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #1877 from bigdaddysnorlax:DMTM, do the beagles have a bigger room at the new house?

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1880 from marril2000:Mike, will the 8 player drafts at Comic Con take place on all days? I am wondering because the schedule lacked a date for this event
master_trainer_mike says, "They will if there is sufficient interest and staffing."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1881 from soslowpoke:feh...I remember those cute little bags of stuffs we got at the STS and mall tours and such...will we be seeing any of that at Gencon? (Like the promotional set lists and whatnots)

master_trainer_mike says, "Wait and see."
master_trainer_mike says, "Read up on the Magic Team Rochester Rules (except they use 3 player teams). Same idea."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #1885 from m_p_douglas:Renee organized a "Challenge the Professors Day" at her gym. Professor would keep track of who played them and won. I used an Updated Eeveelution Deck (which worked much better than I anticipated) and if they beat that they could play against Espeon. It was a lot of fun. There was a three way tie for most wins against Professors.
darkmt_mike says, "Sounds like fun!"
master_trainer_mike says, "Cool!"
master_trainer_mike says, "Eeveelution rules!"
master_trainer_mike says, "(because I made it) hee hee hee"

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #1886 from monkeyman8889:How would furret AQ work in team? Could your opponent use it for himself or can you use it for them?

master_trainer_mike says, "Anyone?"
darkmt_mike says, "Who is going to Gencon or Origins?"

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #1889 from professorcfk:RE # 1865 Are you sure 8 people are required for dci tournaments, because im pretty sure its 4...

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1890 from gymleaderphil_pojo:If you have an Energy Transfer Venusaur and you transfer a Rainbow Energy to Discovery Eevee can you move the energy back and forth until Eevee's power works?
master_trainer_mike says, "You are not attaching it from your hand to the Eevee, just moving it over so its Pokemon Power would not be activated."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1891 from soslowpoke:How's that french horn mike? =P
master_trainer_mike says, "Haven't played one in years. Would probably be pretty scary by now."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #1892 from drpoke:I know that Duel Masters is beating Yugioh in Japan right now, when can we expect to have it here? can you give any hints? Im learning from my cousin, interesting concept.

master_trainer_mike says, "Good luck with that! No plans on the background thing."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1899 from professorcfk:I've heard conflicting rulings on the skyridge rainbow energy that "places counters." Does metal energy stop this damage(as if doing damage, basically making an errata on the SK rainbow) or does it take damage regardless of metal energy?
darkmt_mike says, "Aquapolis you mean?"
master_trainer_mike says, "I believe Japan wanted it changed so that it places 1 damage counter. That is now the rulin for this card."

master_trainer_mike says, "Correct, you cannot attack your team mate."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #1903 from purity1:well, at least the devil is paying us :D
darkmt_mike says, "Heh yeah well there ya go!"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1904 from professorcfk:re 1896, i thought only the person who puts down the furret can use its power, and only on the owners turn. Correct?
master_trainer_mike says, "It can only be used by its owner. However, the rule is that anytime "you" or "your" is written in an attack, power, or trainer, either YOU can use it or your Team mate can do so. As the ower of the effect, you choose which if you uses it."
master_trainer_mike says, "This is one of the basic rulkes of TMP."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1906 from milord83:Do you think that the Pok�mon energy symbols are under that copyright rule that stops you from put them in a not copyrighted logo? I made a logo for our italian big tournament, but I putted on the logo (separately from the other art) the symbols.
master_trainer_mike says, "We can't give out legal advice, sorry."
master_trainer_mike says, "But I would guess that they are all copyrighted."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #1907 from gym_leader_blaine:Issue #5 will was MC Hammers time really any time of Hammer time? Discuse amongest yourself (I love the old SNL skits :)
darkmt_mike says, "It was more of a Mallet and less of a Hammer"
master_trainer_mike says, "Anything else?"
master_trainer_mike says, "Is that every last pair of shoes in the place?>"
master_trainer_mike says, "Unless you want to try......"
darkmt_mike says, "hmm no more?"
master_trainer_mike says, "THE CRUEL SHOES!"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1910 from marril2000:Mike and Dark Mike, out of all the different card layouts, classic, neo, card-e, etc. What would you say is your favorite pokemon card layout and why?

darkmt_mike says, "I like classic it was a simpler more easy going latout"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1911 from professorcfk:Re 1904: To clarify, it can only be used on its owners turn by the owner, but the effect can be used on your team mate(like professor elm)

master_trainer_mike says, "Well, for the most part, the whole best of Game series WAS my decision."
master_trainer_mike says, "Though it was influenced by what was available for new promos, what cards TPC would allow and so on."
master_trainer_mike says, "I wanted to bring back Rocket Zapdos as Lightning is still too weak, but that was shut down."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1953 from hypnosprojecthq:If I have 2 Forretress (Neo Discovery) in play, and my opponent has a Baby in play, then they retreat it for a Pokemon with 3 Metal Energy, would Spikes still do the damage to that Pokemon?

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1957 from purity1:aaaw......i would have liked to see rocket zapdos back again...
master_trainer_mike says, "Me too."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1958 from m_p_douglas:Is Rocket Zapdos in or out as a Best Promo? I think you just said NO?

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1959 from milord83:in the MP support, which BZ kits there will be approx.?
master_trainer_mike says, "Depends on what we have left."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1961 from hypnosprojecthq:About question 1953, the newest copy of Metal Energy states that Metal Energy blocks damage from attacks. Therefore, wouldn't the damage be applied?
master_trainer_mike says, "See? You guys know this stuff better than I do."
master_trainer_mike says, "Again I believe these are changes that TPC wanted. You should play with the rulings fomr the latest version of the cards."

master_trainer_mike says, "There is no cleffa promo."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1966 from farbsman:Does Politoed's Energy Splash have to be 2 water basic cards or can it be rainbow since it just says "Move 2 Water Energy cards" and not 2 Basic water Energies? Oops that is Skyridge Politoed by the way.
master_trainer_mike says, "Just has to be water energy cards, so basic watre, Rainbow, Crystal counting as water, and so on."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1967 from farbsman:Speaking of distroying, what ever happend to the leaning tower of Pika and The Space Weedle and if you want to get rid of them how could I get them?
master_trainer_mike says, "They are taking up space in my cube."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1968 from soslowpoke:What if there are no master professors within a 30 mile radius of us? :(
master_trainer_mike says, "Sorry guys, I canb't sned out materials to hundreds of people worldwide, the shipping costs alone would shut me down."
master_trainer_mike says, "This is the best I could do."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1969 from marril2000:Will Master Professors be able to order Stampers? Also, when they order the BZ kitswill they have to pay a cost? I dont want to have to have the MP pay and not pay him in return... (although he is 2+ hours away...)

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1970 from m_p_douglas:Last week someone brought up Fossil Ditto and the EX cards...You cannot comment on this matter, so we will use our common sense and expert training given to us by the MTs. Ditto vs. Mysterious Fossil seems to give us the correct perspective.....grabs keyboard away from Espeon's mind control again....
master_trainer_mike says, "Ok :)"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1971 from gym_leader_blaine:thanks for letting us MP get some extra product from you. It is nice of you to go out of your way to do so for us and the game :)
master_trainer_mike says, "Glad to help the game that has been so good to us."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1972 from farbsman:Are Nintendo cards allowed in Unlimited tournaments at Origins and Gencon (if there are any, haven't looked at the schedule)
master_trainer_mike says, "No, we cannot make any rulings on their cards, so we cannot allow them in our sanctioned events, sorry."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1974 from soslowpoke:Any possible ways of us isolated non-master professors could pay the shipping expenses in order to get prize support?
master_trainer_mike says, "Sorry but no."
