Quotes

City Championship

Before the first game

"<player>, was it? A pleasure to meet you. Your manners are better than those of SOME people around here..."

Before the second game

"That was quite an outpouring of local pride. But pride doesn't win games. Nor do hurt feelings. Let's play this out."
Tournaments: "Welcome to Tournaments. On-Demand Tournaments run daily anytime. Check the tournament info for further details."

Entering a tournament

"Select a deck from the below list to use in this tournament."

In the middle of a tournament while waiting for other players to finish games

"Some players are still in their games. You can use the rest of the Pokémon TCG Online while they play. We'll let you know when the next round starts."

Completing a tournament

"Congratulations! The tournament is over and the prizes have been awarded. Please join us again for more exciting tournaments!"

View Rewards

"The reward structure varies per tournament. Some rewards are even unique to a specific event, so it's a good idea to check the reward structure before entering a tournament."

When tournaments are not being run due to maintenance

"Sorry, no tournaments are currently being run. Please check the forums for more information."

Retired quotes

Match setup:
- "Focus. Discipline. A little luck. That's all you need to win at Pokémon. Let's see how your skills stack up."
- "I misjudged you the last time we played. You clearly have the skill to win this tournament. But do you have the fire? The drive? The WILL to prevail?"
Player loss:
- "'ll confess, I'm disappointed. I expected better of a three-time champion. Play again? Strictly for fun, of course."
- "Mmm. I think I know where you went wrong there. If you want, I can walk you through it. Why don't we play again while we're at it?"
Player win:
- "Capable, polite, AND gracious in victory? Good. I was worried this was a waste of time. May we meet again... in the finals."
- "One victory is luck. A run of victories is skill. You earned that win, <player>. Good luck. I hope you go the distance..."
