Hey there, Pokémon fans! I hope you’re hyped for the latest Pokémon TCG set, Surging Sparks, well if you are, then you’ve gotta check this out. Last week Joe Basick, the mastermind behind West Orange Comics & Video Games in Ocoee, Florida, did an epic pack-opening session. He cracked open not one, not two, but three pre-release kits and dug into the new *Surging Sparks* cards set.
Joe is the heart and soul of the local Pokémon League, and trust me, he knows how to keep the energy up! You can join him every Saturday from 1pm to 4pm for league play, where players of all ages and skill levels come to battle, trade, and just enjoy the Pokémon vibe. West Orange Comics & Video Games is located at 1575 Maguire Road #108, Ocoee, Florida 34761. If you’re curious or want to chat with Joe before stopping by, just give him a ring at 407-741-3195.
If you’re itching to open some packs, learn more about the game, or just want to find some fellow Trainers, come by and join the fun. This community is as welcoming as they come – hope to see you there!
