Introduction

With this blog, I plan to go through the Wizards of the Coast Pokemon TCG chats, using the available sources I've found and try to consolidate stuff into a better format. This includes first of all making a critical edition of the chats based on the available sources and producing categorical/thematic lists of information for use with the Pokemon TCG Wiki mainly. I'll put a CC-BY-NC-SA on the bottom of the blog or somewhere, for people to generally use it.

The sources I'll be using are:
Official: Wizards Official Transcript Archive (January 20, 2000 [first WotC Pokemon TCG chat] - September 28, 2000)
TCA: Team Compendium Archive (Officially supported by Wizards, see below link, July 6, 2000 - July 10, 2003 [Final WotC Pokemon TCG chat])
Wizards Official Transcript Page (includes links to stuff that's by topic instead of chronological, but doesn't provide what chats they were from - also may not be 100% complete)
PGC: PokeGym Compendium (includes stuff topically, but notes what chats stuff came from and lists a few special pages that are useful too for How to Play stuff)
PGL: PokeGym Chatlogs (July 6, 2000 - July 10, 2003 [Final WotC Pokemon TCG chat])

Note that Team Compendium and PokeGym Chatlogs appear to have the same exact files.

Also note that other pages I'll be looking at too and reconciling with the chats.
