User:RachmaninovDESU/Chris and TCGs

Throughout his life, Chris has wasted shitloads of your money on Tradable CardGames.

Pokémon
The Pokémon TCG was first introduced in Japan in October 1996, then North America in December 1998. It was initially published by Wizards of the Coast. Chris started getting into the Pokémon TCG in 1999, and made his own deck and custom Pokémon-cards.

Yu-Gi-Oh!
The Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG came out worldwide in 2002, and was developed and published by Konami. The earliest sources we have of Chris playing the game are from 2004, when he started making a bunch of custom cards. We know that Chris met Megan Schroeder during a Yu-Gi-Oh! match in the summer of 2005.

Sailor Moon
The Sailor Moon TCG was released in 2000 by Dart Flipcards Inc. We know Chris got into this game through Megan, who was a big fan of it, but he has never referenced to it very much outside of the emails. During the Julie Saga, Chris had a bunch of Sailor Moon cards up on his website.

Eye of Judgment
Eye of Judgment is a TCG/Videogame hybrid released in 2007 by Sony. Chris got into this game quite heavily, because it could be played online, and no social interaction was needed. This game came into quite a few videos, and Chris probably apologised to the Game Place because of it.

Books a Million
Chris claims to have volunteerd as an assistant Gym Leader at the Pokémon League at the Midlothian VA Books-A-Million between March 1998 and June 2000. This is however impossible, as the Pokémon trading card game wasn't released in North America until December 1998, and its official league wasn't founded until the following year. It is also unsure as to what extent Chris was actually "assistant Gym Leader", and wasn't just mucking about and behaving like a toddler. Chris probably stopped going here because his family moved to Ruckersville in the summer of 2000.

Toys "R" Us
After moving to Ruckersville, Chris says he volunteerd as assistant Gym Leader at the Pokémon League at the Charlottesville VA Toys "R" Us between June 2000 and June 2002. Again, we don't really know if he actually had duties, or if he was just joining in with the children. It's also unknown why Chris stopped going here, although chances are large that he got thrown out because of his behaviour.
