@Marker617: Yes was glad to mostly use the pokemon that I've received in trades on the Wi-Fi forum as I hope it inspires others as well.
If only I started my 4th round match a little differently which is all part of prediction which we cannot turn back the clock on, but hopefully prepare better for will be yet another Nintendo event opportunity in the future.
Flashback to JAA in Long Island in 2006: I started round 1 match with ludicolo & kyogre on the field but my opponent had a slower groudon with ho-oh to get the drought and I was screwed big time as I had to live with that for quite a long time. Last year's gamestop tournament was quite sweet where both Jr. & I made it to the finals and he won, then we both came to Showdown NY and made it as far as the 4th round. We'll see what happens next time.
