Champions League Chiba Top 8 decks

The latest Japanese "Regional" took place on the weekend of May 20-21. PokeStats previously reported on the Osaka Regionals back in April, and I'll be doing the same thing for May's Chiba Regionals: providing the event's top decks, then, in a day or two, coming back and analyzing those decks and providing lists for them. An insight into the Japanese metagame is always interesting, even though they play the BLW-on format: we get to see some innovative deck ideas that give us ideas for new ways to use cards, as well as ideas for dealing with these crazy Japanese lists should we run into them at Worlds or Internationals.
