About Us

PTCG Legends is a resource catered towards the competitive Pokémon TCG community, with event info, results, stats, player info, and the game's history at the site's forefront. Prior to the site's launch - no other site covered major events from 1999-2022+

History

PTCG Legends was a site originally made as a school project... catered towards the retro Pokémon TCG community. With the initial goal to document all major events that could not be found on the internet prior to our launch, and to archive any relevant deck that ever existed competitively. As other "retro" sites that had existed prior only ever featured the top decks from each era/format. "No deck left behind..." ~ PTCG Legends

The site first launched on Christmas Day of 2022, after nearly a year of development. The site's largest component being its "Decks by Era" section - highlighting nearly every deck that was ever played per format, featuring eras 1999 - 2019. Since then, many amazing community members have helped us document additional decks and formats!

In 2023, articles and modern event coverage, including Regionals, were integrated as part of the site's second phase. For the entire 2023 season, PTCG Legends stayed on top of modern events from around the world as more and more non-retro players learned of this resource. But behind the scenes, the site's creator was never truley satisfied with PTCG Legends...

In the summer of 2024, PTCG Legends was shocklingly, and without warning, DELETED! Just to be surprisingly relaunched a week later as a fully-functional database! Player pages, event & deck statistics, finding decks by card and more... so much more, to come!
