Talk about Pokémon Black and White and the fifth generation!

This forum is ONLY for decks that you would be using in a sanctioned tournament; every thread title must have an event and age group listed, such as "Luxchomp (Battle Roads, Masters)." Full deck lists only! Please only post advice if you actually play in tournaments. If your advice is spammy, shallow, rude, or uninformed, your posts will be deleted and you will be warned. All deck advice must be accompanied by detailed explanations, not just "-2 Water +2 Uxie."
Sub Forums: Archive: Fix My Deck!

Discuss the competitive world of the TCG. Analyze and discuss specific cards, combos, strategies, and decks that see common use in tournaments (such as through articles or discussion threads), as well as how upcoming Japanese sets may impact the metagame. This should be a place where you can "pin" what's going on in the competitive TCG world. Only serious, well thought-out threads are allowed; spammy or shallow posts will be deleted on the spot.
Sub Forums: PokéBeach.com Card Reviews, Archive: Article Submissions

Discuss card combos and strategies that aren't quite established in the tournament metagame but have potential. Remember, established metagame strategies and combos (like Luxchomp) belong in the "State of the Game" forum.
Sub Forums: Archive: Strategies, Combos, & Archetypes

Find a 2010-2011 "Play! Pokémon" tournament near you, discuss the tournaments, and make plans to meet up with other PokéBeach members! After you attend, be sure to post your tournament report and some photos! Tournament reports should be fairly detailed and list where you played, what you played, what you faced, as well as your analysis and thoughts.
Sub Forums: Pokémon Leagues, Local Tournaments, Battle Roads

Setup online tournaments with players through the Redshark TCG program. Tournaments must be approved by a mod before they can go live. You can also use the "Battle Now!" thread or the "Battle Now!" chat room if you would like to battle people immediately.

Are you a casual or serious collector? Trying to track down a card? Have a question on when a card was released or how to get it? Want to know the price of a card? This is where you can post all of your collecting questions and showcase your collections!

If you are a beginner, experimenting with a non-tournament deck, or want feedback on a "fun" deck (such as for Pokémon League or for battling with your friends), post your deck lists here! They must be reasonably complete (50+ cards). If you are new to the game, this is the perfect place to learn how to build a decent deck. Try to come up with some deck ideas of your own, make a deck list, then post it to get feedback from our members. This forum may also be used to post Unlimited format decks, but they must say "Unlimited" in the thread title, contain a list of 60 cards, and include a strategy.

Have a question about how a certain card works or playing the game in general? Returning to the TCG for the first time in a while and need help with the rules? Post your questions here for our certified Pokémon Professors to answer!

Discuss and get help with Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Battle Revolution, Mystery Dungeon, and any other fourth generation games. You may also post your in-game teams in the appropriate sticky threads to get rated and fixed. Please use the sub-forums for older games.
Sub Forums: Third Generation, First and Second Generations

Setup a trade thread to list the Pokémon you want and the Pokémon you have to offer. If someone wants your Pokémon or you find a Pokémon you want, you can then make arrangements to trade over Wi-Fi.

Discuss the competitive world of the video games. Analyze and discuss specific Pokémon, teams, and strategies that see common use in competitive play (such as through articles or discussion threads). You may also seek help with your tournament Pokémon's movesets, EVs, and can post war stories as well. Anything that involves competitive play (spare posting your entire team) goes here!

Post your complete competitive team for other people to fix and rate! The thread title must contain the tier that you will be competing in, such as "Rain Dance Team (OU)," or the event if it is for an official "Play! Pokémon" tournament, such as "Rain Dance Team (VGC)." To get help with your in-game teams, please use the "In-Game Team Rates" threads in the "Game Discussion" sub-forums.

Take part in user tournaments, official PokéBeach tournaments, and our tutor program!

Discuss the latest episodes, speculate about this year's movie, or talk about the manga! Anything related to the show, movies, or manga belongs here.

Converse about the world of Pokémon in general, such as about general concepts and mythoi. Make sure the topics you create do not have a more appropriate forum to be posted in elsewhere on this forum.

Post general, miscellaneous, and real-life topics here, such as topics related to world news, current events, humanity, etc. There should be absolutely no Pokemon-related topics in here at all; this is a forum for everything that does not fit in other forums.

Did you see the latest movie or that popular TV show last night? Owning all the bad guys in that new video game? Discuss TV, movies, and video games here! You may also talk about anime, manga, books, bands, music, etc.
Sub Forums: Video Games

Groups and clubs created by PokéBeach members to discuss various specialized topics. For example, you can have an "Aquarium Club" that talks about fish tanks or a "Dodgers Fan Club" that follows their performance throughout the season. This forum is not for groups that are based around "temporary" topics that could easily become a topic of discussion in another forum.

Play forum games! Only games that require a certain degree of intellectual effort are allowed here. PM the maker of the game thread to join a game or for any questions about a game. All posts must be a sentence long, and all games must be approved by a mod before they go live. Posts do not count toward your post count.
