Throughout his life, Chris has wasted shitloads of your money on Tradable Card Games. To date, Chris plays 5 different ones, Pokémon, UFS (Ultimate Fighting System), Yu-Gi-Oh, Sailor Moon TCG, and most recently, The Eye of Judgment.

List of TCGs Chris has Played

Pokémon TCG

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.

For more information, see: Pokémon

Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

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.

For more information, see: Yu-Gi-Oh!

Sailor Moon TCG

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.

For more information, see: Sailor Moon

Eye of Judgment TCG

Eye of Judgment TCG 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.

For more information, see: Eye of Judgment

UFS (Ultimate Fighting System) TCG

Universal Fighting System TCG is a collectible card game originally designed by Sabertooth Games, it was first released in 2006, and involves popular Video Game characters.

List of Places where Chris has Played TCGs

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.

The Game Place

Chris claims to have volunteerd as assistant Gym Leader at the Pokémon League at the Rochelle VA Game Place. He started coming here in June 2002, and stayed there untill he got permabanned by the manager in August 2008. Lucas has stated that he actually sometimes did do work here as a Gym Leader, although this was only very sparsely, when there were no better people around to do the job.

Custom cards

Main article: Wall of Originals

In addition to making custom trading cards (most notably Animal Crossing trading cards), Chris has produced tons of custom cards for most of the TCGs he as played. He proudly displays the Pokémon cards in The Wall of Originals (well, he'll likely proudly display them to anyone whom he manages to trap in the room, anyway), and put many (but not all) of the custom cards in the DVD slideshow. Most recently, he has made The Eye of Judgment cards, as shown in Holding Out For a Hero.

Although there isn't a clear source, Chris apparently uses the fake cards he made in battles and tried to encourage others to do so by giving them out. Some of these cards were extremely broken or cheap and it's rumored (although almost undoubtedly true) that Chris got kicked out of Toys "R" Us for insisting upon using the card, despite them being outright unfair for whoever played against him (although the look upon a child's face as Chris lays down a Virgin with rage card would have been priceless).
