[hoary hornet]

yeah, i need to finish up GA and STS

missing 7 and 9 diamonds respectively

i have everything in MI

trying to get lucky with wonder picks, i have a big backlog of hourglasses

but it's rough

[lofty nest]

I have every ex in STS except for pachirisu because I've pulled BOTH alternate art cards but not the default 🗿

[hoary hornet]

i'm missing pachirisu too 😭

wish i could help

[lofty nest]

gengar ex is the other one I don't have

I have all the others

[hoary hornet]

GA gengar?

I have one

[lofty nest]

yeah

is there an ex that you need

[hoary hornet]

I need a weavile

[lofty nest]

hm

[hoary hornet]

alternatively, if you don't have spares you aren't using i am in need of articuno as well

i am missing those two and pachirisu lol

[lofty nest]

down to trade articuno

[hoary hornet]

works for me

[lofty nest]

I'm using weavile in one of my decks and I only have 2 lol

[hoary hornet]

@lofty nest

[lofty nest]

sent

[hoary hornet]

i think it bugged on my end lol, i couldn't see the option for it

beautiful

tyvm

enjoy your gengar :D

[lofty nest]

epic

rn I'm missing 11 GA, 8 STS, and 3 TL

@hoary hornet Do you happen to have any of the following lol

GA: Metapod, butterfree, seadra, omastar, cubone, marowak, nidorina, weezing, dragonite, aerodactyl, snorlax
STS: Gastrodon, dusknoir, drifblim, darkrai, bastiodon, buneary, purugly

[hoary hornet]

for GA, i have everything in your list but need my omastar since i only have 1

STS, no darkrai or bastiodon yet but have the rest

@lofty nest

[lofty nest]

what stuff do u need

[hoary hornet]

GA: Gloom, Moltres, Greninja, Gengar, Gardevoir
STS: Torterra, Mamoswine, Regice, Empoleon, Luxray, Pachirisu ex, Rotom, Rhyperior, Weavile ex, Darkrai, Bastiodon

the ones i've crossed out are the ones i know i can't get

[lofty nest]

I can do moltres for dragonite, torterra for dusknoir, gengar for marowak, and gardevoir for aerodactyl

I also have a ton of spare trade stamina if you feel like doing more but that's up to you lol

[hoary hornet]

i've done very few trades, i have like 2400 points saved up

[lofty nest]

bet

farming the dex

[hoary hornet]

• 12 points of trade stamina in glasses

lol

i have one regular dragonite and 3 full arts lmfao

[lofty nest]

goddamn

[hoary hornet]

so i am not exactly wanting for these things lol

[lofty nest]

also the dex stays updated even if you trade away all of one type of card

which is nice

tho if you tap on it, it won't have the picture up close

but it's still counted

[hoary hornet]

credit's all i care about lol

[lofty nest]

same

that and cool deck builds

but none of these cards are cards I'm using in decks or I have spares

[hoary hornet]

i gotta get my second palkia for funny water meta deck

only have 1

[lofty nest]

I like running off meta bullshit

wait I'm stupid

I said dragonite twice

lemme change the second one

[hoary hornet]

marowak is 2 diamonds

gengar is 3

lmfao

[lofty nest]

oh oops

uh just do aerodactyl and then I'll send gloom for marowak or smtn

and then we can do gardevoir for butterfree

I think we can do like

mamoswine for gastrodon and then call it there

[hoary hornet]

aight

[lofty nest]

idk if gastrodon is 3 diamond

he is not

hol up

oh we can do mamoswine weezing

after that we have like a 1 diamond trade lol but that's probably not even worth spending the hourglasses on I'll just get it with pack points

[hoary hornet]

fair lol

after this i need to save up more trade stamina lol

good to get all those cards outta the way tho

[lofty nest]

ye

[hoary hornet]

only missing greninja for GA after this, which is huge

[lofty nest]

yeah I only have 2 and I need them for my water deck lol

[hoary hornet]

not a prob

will gladly take what i can get

[lofty nest]

greninja starmie been the goat since day 1

started a good deck, stayed a good deck

[hoary hornet]

manaphy gyarados my beloved

[lofty nest]

I rlly wanna make a cynthia garchomp deck but I only have one

[hoary hornet]

i was told cynthia doesn't work on garchomp ex

is that right?

[lofty nest]

correct

[hoary hornet]

sucks

50 dmg bench poke still nutty tho

[lofty nest]

yeah unfortunately garchomp ex is kinda mid

the 50 dmg bench is big

but like

stage 2 and 3 energy 100 damage

[hoary hornet]

yeah

having cynthia would really help

[lofty nest]

dragon type garchomp is just like objectively way better

2 energy 100 damage and you don't suffer ex bonus point loss

or 150 damage with cynthia

[hoary hornet]

togekiss memeing is also crazy, 60 straight into 170 with cynthia

[lofty nest]

btw the reason I still didn't have ga weezing is because I had 3 of the special art version 💀

[hoary hornet]

lmfao

that was me with GA electrode for a while

i got the mission for 3 electrodes with all full arts

[lofty nest]

wild

but yeah

if you really want to run a stage 2 fighting type pokemon just run gallade he's way better

lowkey tho my favorite fighting type deck doesn't even use EXs

it's marshadow, gliscor, and lucario

and sudowoodo

[hoary hornet]

hitmonlee very annoying for gyara deck matchup

one taps benched karps

30 dmg for 1 energy kinda tough, esp for bench poke

[lofty nest]

hitmonlee is pretty good

but gets hard countered

[hoary hornet]

if i wanted to run easy raw damage, ga farfetch'd does 40 for 1 energy

colorless so no preying on weakness but with giovanni it obliterates 50hp leads

[lofty nest]

skarmory + pokemon tool is 50 damage one energy

pretty massive

[fluid matrix]

Manaphy players in shambles seeing skarmory on the board

[lofty nest]

True

[willow ridge]

[sand wigeon]

i like hatterenes shiny alot

[willow ridge]

[opaque pike]

I think so

[fluid matrix]

[opaque pike]

ayo this fire

[fluid matrix]

Oh shit

Might have to use my free premium here

Oh god i immediately recognized that iono card from main tcg

Its so good

[mighty badger]

https://youtu.be/oeU2rvustoY?si=_jBOoTmlESJKH1YO

[stone void]

first ever rainbow border card 🔥🔥🔥

[fluid matrix]

everyone is getting this probopass 💀

Ive seen so many probopass posts on reddit

it was one of the top comments on the video for the next set too something like "I still havent pulled a single arceus ex but ive pulled 9 probopass"

[blazing forum]

no way 😭

i need hits bro they’re so infrequent

[fluid matrix]

The big 3k

[sand wigeon]

goated

[lofty nest]

Only missing 11 diamond cards total now

But I think a new set is dropping soon so completion might be cooked again 😭

[novel crescent]

Nah you got that fr

[hoary hornet]

YEEESSS FINALLY

Mfw Dialga out of the Palkia pack

I knew something was off when the booster pack took 18 seconds to load

[blazing forum]

i heard next set was like, end of april but idk if it’s true

[fluid matrix]

it comes out in 4 days

shining revelry

[blazing forum]

welp.

what’s the big cards?

[fluid matrix]

well theyre adding shinies so im hype about that

[blazing forum]

oh what? that’s sick

[fluid matrix]

Iono is going to be a very good trainer card, but I dont remember any of the pokemon jumping out at me as super good

although I didnt see that many

[dreamy ferry]

I know this is mostly for the card games but anyone else do nuslockes?

[magic comet]

i watch a lot of nuzlockes

[radiant harness]

ayeeee

[opaque pike]

charizard

[finite ice]

bro

im spending

so much fucking money on this new pack

[fluid matrix]

you a shiny hunter ferex?

[finite ice]

no but im about to me

[fluid matrix]

lmao

[fluid matrix]

Dude i have been pulling nothing but shit after like the first week of triumphant light

I hope my luck turns around for shining revelry

[lofty nest]

Journey Together drops in 4 days, can’t wait to camp out my local best buy

Pray I get there early enough to nab smtn for myself lmao

[fluid matrix]

I hope you get it just cause i know im probably not getting it

Im probably gonna have to just buy the etb off a scalper later on or something

[lofty nest]

As much as it blows not being able to get product, I highly encourage to not buy from scalpers ever because it's what they depend on. If nobody bought from them they'd completely lose all of their profits, and it seems like more and more people are avoiding them recently

I request suffering for the greater good

it's why I'm trying to snipe product early

1. deny scalpers product
2. I'm not buying from them so if I don't get it now I'm not getting it at all until they chill out

the preorder for the set after Journey Together dropped online today and because of all of the bots and shit the queue has gone up to 2 million and pre-orders are already sold out 😭

[willow ridge]

So I have 2 Arceus now

Why couldn’t I pull a different one 😭

[hoary hornet]

If anyone needs piplup or skarmory, boy do I have the wonder pick for you

[timid trellis]

I know the feeling

[opaque pike]

didnt even know this was a thing

never seen this border before

[whole grove]

gay ass glaceon

[willow ridge]

...what

[fluid matrix]

This is pokerogue right?

I havent played it but that shiny dedenne recolor is the most convincing argument to do so ive seen yet

[willow ridge]

lol

its a tier 2 shiny, they give you better luck and are rarer

[willow ridge]

indeed

[fluid matrix]

It coulda given me debuffs and id still run it

Love that little dude

[willow ridge]

He’s actually pretty damn good

[fluid matrix]

ive decided im also gonna try and camp out a gamestop

since theres no online orders at gamestop for it and you have to go in person i figure theres a chance

ill just step away from work for a bit

[lofty nest]

real

I'm going straight to best buy after my 9am class to wait in line

[novel crescent]

Pokemon filled birthday

First 2 are pulls from packs my parents got me and then i bought the 3 paldean fates

[willow ridge]

That Clive is fire

[novel crescent]

it issss

[willow ridge]

If only I could find cards 😔

(And had money)

[novel crescent]

[lofty nest]

wow that's a lot of hits

[finite ice]

lucario fire

[novel crescent]

only 4 misses

the rest had a hit

[lofty nest]

wild

[novel crescent]

also

that clive card is apparently the hardest card to ge tin the set

[lofty nest]

mostly good hits too

[novel crescent]

shiny cards are fun

oh yea the top one my sister pulled

she bought a tin with 3 packs

first time buying her own pokemon so proud

[lofty nest]

sick

that lucario is worth like $10 too

[willow ridge]

caught it

yipppeeee

[willow ridge]

HOLY FUCKING PEAK

[novel crescent]

the clive is $16

pretty sick pulls honestly

[uneven valley]

Now i felt old as shit

[fluid matrix]

Pulled a fullart giritina in my last pack before shining revelry

Hopefully its a sign of good things to come

[fluid matrix]

Bro the full set is leaked

||the crown is a fucking pokeball and i fuck with that so heavy||

||also the shinies are a new rarity||

[blazing forum]

||another rarity we inevitably won’t be able to trade ||

[finite ice]

fire

[lofty nest]

New set has some really good looking cards damn

||Bro the Team Rocket Grunt card looks so fucked up it’s like anti-misty but I kinda love it||

[willow ridge]

People on Reddit don’t know how to spoiler tag these new cards

I wanted to go in blind

[novel crescent]

Just dont open reddit when a new set drops

[willow ridge]

I open Reddit like 30 times a day

I’m addicted

[novel crescent]

Yea dont

[willow ridge]

No

[novel crescent]

Then you unfortunately have to live with spoilers

[willow ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/fnaf-five-nights-at-freddy's-meme-react-reaction-gif-12963994314066601691

[fluid matrix]

Im glad i spoiler tagged then lol

I didnt know if anyone would care but it seems i made the right call

[willow ridge]

Yes thank you:)

I typically do look at leaks but I wanted to go in blind

[lofty nest]

Yeah I wouldn’t have spoiler tagged had blob not already done so lmao

Cause it didn’t cross my mind

This guy might be upset

Dialga arceus is so op

[willow ridge]

Drop the deck

[lofty nest]

If only there was a good way to take a picture of a whole deck without it being horrible resolution

[willow ridge]

Awesome

I don’t have 2 rocky helms😔

[lofty nest]

They’re not required tbh, could swap them for leaf or sabrina or smtn

Def room to work with

I probably bought my extra one with pack points cause I usually spend them on trainers that I don’t have

Or only have one of

Unless the trainer sucks lol

[willow ridge]

FUCK OFF

I mean that’s a peak card but

[lofty nest]

I’m super excited for that card cause it goes well with a deck I really liked in the past as well as another one of the new cards

||it’ll make koga/poison decks actually viable again, even tho arceus still hard counters 😭||

[fluid matrix]

I run this without shaymin and its fire

[lofty nest]

It’s very good

Shaymin is nice for it cause every pokemon is basic so I just get free retreats

[fluid matrix]

Shamin will work fantastic with pokemon that have abilities that require being in the active slot

That or uturn board as an item

[lofty nest]

Yeah but unfortunately a lot of them are stage 1 or 2 and shaymin ability doesn’t work on non-basics

Learned that the hard way

Card would be super meta if it did work that way so ig it’s fair

[willow ridge]

why can pokemon break outta crit captures

[lofty nest]

@neon temple

[novel crescent]

my sister would DIE for this card

she loves rowlett

[neon temple]

I am looking to get it

prob the only hella expensive card I really want

[novel crescent]

i want all the piplup cards

and theres teamup cards with piplup

[neon temple]

Cosmic Eclipse Piplup is cool

Was yapping about Pokemon with Fufa in vc

Already got one of his chase cards from Journey Together

won my last league cup with sword and shield cards in standard

[novel crescent]

daaaamn

good shit

[blazing forum]

AYO???????????

[novel crescent]

WUGTRIO

[finite ice]

WIAIT ITS OUT??/

BRBR

[willow ridge]

I got Jack shit ngl

[novel crescent]

Had enough pack stamina to open 10

This is the only set im opening now it has so many pretty cards

Iono

[willow ridge]

That Gholdengo is fire

[novel crescent]

I want iono full art

[willow ridge]

Wigglytuff 1 star is all I got :(

[novel crescent]

Surfin while its raining gold they know how to do it

[novel crescent]

Twinning if its the same as i got

[willow ridge]

Yea

But that thing is horrifying

[novel crescent]

It is pretry creepy

[stone void]

the meowscarada looks so nice imo

[novel crescent]

Thise are all so cool what

Tatsugiri

Bro is chillin

[finite ice]

WTF IS MY LUCK

I GOT TWO RAINBOW BORDERS BEFORE ANY FULL ARTS HUHUHUHUH

[novel crescent]

Omg that tinkaton

[finite ice]

yeah dude

its fucking gire

[novel crescent]

Gire

[stone void]

YOOOO SHINY LUCARIO EX LINE

[finite ice]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

[stone void]

some secret challenges 😄

[lofty nest]

god I fucking hate the wigglytuff man

[stone void]

ikr

it’s nightmare fuel

[finite ice]

WHAT IS THAT WIGGLYTUFF

EWWW

[lofty nest]

I'm updating my game rn

[stone void]

so apparently the shinies are a higher rarity than immersives

[lofty nest]

separate rarity yeah

[stone void]

idk what to think about that bc I don’t reckon they’re as rare

[lofty nest]

idk if it's "higher"

[finite ice]

normal shinys or ex full art shineys

[stone void]

OH MY GOD

[stone void]

both

[finite ice]

what

fuck you

how

do you gtet the 2 fucking vards

i want

[lofty nest]

First pack LOL

[willow ridge]

i hate you all

[stone void]

why tf is everyone getting insane hits

[willow ridge]

ikr

i got ONE 1 star

[stone void]

another secret quest

[finite ice]

oh what the

[willow ridge]

oh ew

[lofty nest]

ok second pack was garbage lol

now I gotta do the solo battle rewards

[stone void]

yeah that’s what I was saying

I don’t like that

maybe the 2 shiny stars could stay there

but defs not the 1 stars

[lofty nest]

damn 9 new battles?? holy

anyways time to let auto battle do its thing

[stone void]

NO WAYYYYYY WHAT

I’m never beating this luck

[lofty nest]

I'll open in bulk once I do all the battles

damn auto battle SUCKS lmao

holy

[novel crescent]

Sucks balls LMAO

Its so bad

[lofty nest]

why can't I just get my hourglasses for free and also watch anime at the same time

smh

[novel crescent]

Ong dudr

I think we should be able to sell duplicates for hourglasses

[lofty nest]

I agree

trusting auto battle to use any decks where you have to think like literally at all is just a death sentence

like with my surge + volkner deck lol

I be prepping that shit out

[novel crescent]

Even with decks you dont have to think its awful 😭

[lofty nest]

true

at least the ai opponents can be equally stupid so the bot will win eventually lol

pretty sure the bot is just like "how can I do the most damage this turn" without think about anything else or any future turns lol

and then just uses any additional trainers if available

[novel crescent]

Yea

[lofty nest]

What a crazy 10 pull bruh

[fluid matrix]

Im fuming

11 packs and all i got was this thing

[blazing forum]

everyone’s luck is BONKERS WTF (except blob 😭)

got this from a wonder pick, the new reveal system is interesting

[fluid matrix]

I do not fuck with it

The wonder pick update not the gholdengo

[blazing forum]

yeah i get you

idk how i feel about it yet tbh

it was kind of fun that it waits a second before the last reveal bc i had time to be like “aha i got it!”

[finite ice]

MY 2ND GOD PACK EVER

HOLY FUCKING FUCK

[fluid matrix]

Wow and its a banger too

I love that tinkaton card

[timid trellis]

they gotta slow on this releasing shit man

[finite ice]

i was hoping the 2nd rainbow was the pikachu one

[finite quail]

Only took 15 packs for a single hit

[fluid matrix]

Second 10 pull netted me a 2 star and a 1 star which im decently happy with and i got gholdengo off wonder pick right after

Still no shinies though

[lofty nest]

Still never gotten one dang

Crazy

Definitely the EX I want the least but at least it’ll fill out my dex

[fluid matrix]

Im still in the no god packs, no crown cards camp

But surely one of these days

[lofty nest]

I got one crown card but same on the god packs

My luck been good recently, especially for 2 stars

[fluid matrix]

Man my luck was so bad for like 2 or 3 weeks worth of packs so i was hoping when i drop like 200 hourglasses on this one id be due for good luck but nah

[blazing forum]

same 😔

[finite quail]

Have yet to see a god pack

[lofty nest]

Oh god I just played against a deck that did standard darkrai drudd tick stuff but instead of using magnezone as a finisher he used giratina ex and that shit is messed up

Bro’s prepping for ranked already lmao

[lofty nest]

Had to intentionally throw my last game but for the culture numbers it was worth it

[willow ridge]

so like why does Impidimp not learn a fairy move till 40????

[willow ridge]

same

[open laurel]

theres only 6 physical fairy attacks, 3 of which are gimmick moves. only other options are Magical Torque, Play Rough, and Spirit Break

learns spirit break on evo

wait i lied

marigcal torque is also gimmick

theres only 2 options for physical fairy type attacks T_T

[willow ridge]

still. atleast put play rough a bit earlier 😭

[open laurel]

technically spirit break is also only for 2 pokemon, so play rough is really the only physical fairy type attack

thats crazy

it not getting a physical fairy move until 40 does kinda suck but there are lots of examples of weak movepools

[willow ridge]

yo wait thats sick

[blazing forum]

????????

HELLO?!?!

[finite quail]

Redemption arc

[mighty badger]

ayo

[fluid matrix]

Bro @lofty nest are you already at a gamestop for journey together

My friend just got to one and said theres a 20 person line a full hour before they open...

[lofty nest]

I’m gonna wait at bestbuy soon

It’s raining a bit here so maybe that’ll help

[fluid matrix]

I was under the impression that texas was generally an easier place to get them since id heard of real pokemon heads literally flying here for drops but maybe im wrong

[lofty nest]

My friend found some packs in target yesterday cause they stocked early lmao

He pulled straight garbage tho

[fluid matrix]

Im honestly not even stressing about the pulls

Like fullart N's zoroark would be the dream but i kinda just want the box

From the etb

[lofty nest]

Yeah I’m praying for an etb

[fluid matrix]

Genuinely if i see someone walking out with a bunch of etb's i may offer to buy just the box off em for like 10 bucks or something

[lofty nest]

If I can’t nab anything before class, after class I will be going on a Journey™️ from store to store lol

[fluid matrix]

I have work so i need to be quick

Literally told my boss im going to step out for an "errand"

[lofty nest]

I emailed my professor saying I would be 30 minutes late LOL

[fluid matrix]

Heres hoping i can go get next to my friend in line without someone losing their marbles over it

[lofty nest]

stalling senior project updates for pokemon cards 😎

[fluid matrix]

And neglecting my literal job for pokemon cards 🤝

[lofty nest]

Aight imma grab waffles then head out lol

[fluid matrix]

Im also heading out rn

Good luck soldier

[lofty nest]

@fluid matrix there’s absolutely nobody here so now let’s just hope they actually have it lmao

Since it’s more of a risk than gamestop

I feel weird waiting out here by myself lmao

[fluid matrix]

I can literally see a best buy from where i am at a gamestop and the line is considerably shorter

Guy next to me in line knows they have 30 etbs

[lofty nest]

Ok there’s for sure people waiting in their cars lmao

I can see em

[fluid matrix]

Youre in front though so youre golden for whatever theyve got

[lofty nest]

Assuming they don’t mob but yeah hopefully

Surely they don’t

[fluid matrix]

Bro im ngl this is gross

[lofty nest]

It’s not eevees

[fluid matrix]

Pokemon cards should not be like this

[lofty nest]

Yeah lol

[fluid matrix]

Apparently the guy thats 10th in line here got here at 6 in the fucking morning

[lofty nest]

Normally I wouldn’t be doing this but like I gotta deny the scalpers somehow

[lofty nest]

Oh my

[fluid matrix]

This is the only time i will ever do this

Unless they release a box with dedenne on it

Literally the only reason im here is cause the box has a zoroark

[lofty nest]

I just want one (1) box

Or at the very least some packs

[fluid matrix]

Same bro

Im not some pokeinvester man i just want box with my favorite pokemon

[lofty nest]

Fr

[lofty nest]

@fluid matrix the truck wasn’t unpacked and they don’t know exactly what has been shipped so they don’t know when it’ll be out so imma go to class and check back in after 😭

[fluid matrix]

Oh no bro...

Thats fucked up

I think i might get something but im really not sure

Im think im like 32nd in line and i think theres 28 etb

[lofty nest]

Yeah I’ll just be store hunting after class, got nothing better to do lol

[fluid matrix]

I have to get back to work

Told my boss id be an hour i was WRONG

This line is moving so slow

[lofty nest]

[fallen sparrow]

The hole

Is its ear

Wtf

[fluid matrix]

@lofty nest

[fallen sparrow]

I've thought the hole was an eye for 10 years

[lofty nest]

W

How many did they have left

[lofty nest]

No you’re lying for fun sorry

[fluid matrix]

Technically i didnt even get one lmao

I got a pokeinvester dude to just give me the box

And i bought 5 boosters

[lofty nest]

😭

[fallen sparrow]

I'm not even

[lofty nest]

Nah

You’re lying

It’s an eye

Sorry

[wicked valley]

it is an eye

sorry i make the rules

[wicked valley]

mm i dont think thats true

[fallen sparrow]

I preferred it when I thought it was an eye

[lofty nest]

It is an eye

Your sources are wrong

It is eye shaped

Not ear shaped

Ears are on the side of your head idiot

[fallen sparrow]

Now that you mention it Nintendo does have a history of being stupid

[lofty nest]

True!

[fluid matrix]

Bro and my friend pulled N's zoroark and said he would give it to me for 5 bucks im SO UP

[lofty nest]

Isn’t it like $150 rn 🗿

Granted inflated cause new set

💀

Was it the SIR

or just full art

[fluid matrix]

Its just the normal ex

So not quite as expensive

Not nearly id imagine

[lofty nest]

Ah yeah

$14 rn but most things are bound to go down a good bit

Day 1 prices aren’t good for anything except knowing which cards are the most valuable lol

But usually you can just tell

Aight I’m out of class, time to hunt

[fluid matrix]

This is my only hit but still i got the box and im happy

I really might just grab more of these packs overtime on the off chance i pull the zoroark

[lofty nest]

That’s a fire hit

[fluid matrix]

Yeah it is a banger of a card

Fantastic art

Makes me want trainer cards in tcgp ngl

[lofty nest]

Lol

[novel crescent]

I WANT THIS ONE SO BAD

i want all of the iono ones

[fluid matrix]

Good luck finding any packs lol

[lofty nest]

Pretty sure I ended up going to a best buy that wasn’t participating in the pokemon stuff

However

I managed to get one

Blister pack

🗿

The hunt continues but I am losing faith

[fluid matrix]

I will say the stock at gamestop had a ton of blooming waters, so i suppose you could always try again when they restock later and theyll also restock older sets

Since you arent a scalper trying to sell pokemon cards day 1 theyre just as valuable to you now as they would be later

[finite quail]

Finally got a shiny card

[lofty nest]

Oh yeahhhh we got one whole more pack

Count em t w o

This is so grim bruh

[fluid matrix]

Just pull a banger from what youre able to get

[mighty badger]

nah it's a pencil sharpener :3

[lofty nest]

LET’S FUCKING GO

ETB ACQUIRED

[fluid matrix]

LETS GOOOO

Good shit

Whered you get it?

[lofty nest]

The same best buy I started at LOL

Went to 13 other stores and then when I came back it was finally unboxed 🗿

[fluid matrix]

Lmao

Persistence is key

[lofty nest]

For real

Gamblers quit just before they hit it big

Dude

$54

This is awesome

People are charging double that man 😭 that’s so crazy

[lofty nest]

It’s so glorious

[neon temple]

open it

[rigid kraken]

[lofty nest]

OMG

The packs were pretty trash up until the last 2 and then I got bangers

Iono hyper rare on the last pack clutched up so hard

That’s awesome

[fluid matrix]

Wow great pulls

That furret is so fire actually

[lofty nest]

it's cute

it's like if the wigglytuff wasn't nightmare fuel

but yeah I didn't have the furret or iono until the last 2 packs so I was like stressin lmao

[marble orchid]

I read that as ferex

Lmaooo

[stone void]

OMG THEYRE SO CUTEEEEE 🥰

[fallen sparrow]

https://docs.google.com/document/u/4/d/e/2PACX-1vTLw25rRA5GeiTUub0zY--d1jmyZlvEpg4-8IbJbmrorzxRKS8KXzufXKcCbU7TYWbyO-I5M_zUSnye/pub

I have 0 fucking idea how any of those scenarios are possible lol

like how are you supposed to do this one

[lofty nest]

sick

how'd they get it

did they camp gamestop lol

[radiant harness]

Target lol

He got multiple 6 pack boxes and etbs

[lofty nest]

wtf

I didn't see shit at any targets I went to

did he go a day early

[radiant harness]

he went this morning

[lofty nest]

I got my one and I'm happy with it cause I got a rare iono card

it's not the SIR but like it's next best thing

[radiant harness]

I don’t have my license yet so no pokemon for me lol

[fluid matrix]

ive got one of those pokemon card vending machines at the kroger next to me that im gonna check tomorrow since im just already gonna be buying groceries

[radiant harness]

I wanna pay retail prices

[fluid matrix]

might buy more if they have something tbh

[lofty nest]

they're always fuckin sold out bruh it's annoying

I've gotten stuff from them before but recently I've just seen absolutely nothing

[radiant harness]

I miss the days when I could just go to Walgreens and get a blister

😞

[lofty nest]

same bruh I started collecting april of last year

and they were just like

readily available

[radiant harness]

I collected in like

[fluid matrix]

damn ive never interacted with it before so I just thought no one was

[radiant harness]

2019?

[fluid matrix]

cause ive never seen someone at one either

[radiant harness]

And stopped and I wanna get back into it

[lofty nest]

cause nobody can buy anything cause they're empty 😭

[radiant harness]

I have some good cards from hidden fates bc I wanted to get that shiny charizard so bad

I never pulled it tho

[lofty nest]

I was pulling a bunch in twilight masquerade

I want that freaking greninja man

[radiant harness]

I have a pretty decent card from s&m base

Idk where all my good pulls from XY evolutions went

[lofty nest]

all my old cards were in garbage condition

[radiant harness]

My little cousin took half of my shit

[lofty nest]

now I be toploading my shit

[radiant harness]

I think he took 2 sealed and top loaded promo cards from hidden fates etc

[lofty nest]

oh something wild

[radiant harness]

Etb

[lofty nest]

is that at best buy when I got my stuff

they gave free promo cards with purchases

and since I went to 3 best buys I got like a lot

[fluid matrix]

im usually not super into pokemon cards im just literally like "zoroark :)"

[radiant harness]

That’s fair

[lofty nest]

those promos put together are like $40 lmao

which I did NOT realize until I checked

[radiant harness]

I play a lot of tcg

So I got back into it

[fluid matrix]

wait a minute ive just realized im fucked

cause you cant just buy pokemon cards anymore

that used to be my go to if i was like really sad, just go buy some pokemon cards

[radiant harness]

I mean if you wanted to you should

Could*

[lofty nest]

I think they're becoming more readily available but it's still pretty bad rn yeah

[radiant harness]

I think my addiction got revived from Deep pocket monster

[lofty nest]

it's not as bad as it was when prismatic dropped so that's something

[radiant harness]

“Should I open it or keep it sealed”🎶🎶🎶🎶

I wanna rip the destined rivals ser

Set

It looks amazing

[lofty nest]

my addiction got revived when I went and bought one singular pack for shits and giggles having not opened a pokemon pack in years and pulling a hyper rare rare candy

[radiant harness]

That’s goated

[lofty nest]

fun fact, I had not pulled another hyper rare since then until today

like exactly a year later lol

[radiant harness]

I don’t think I’ve pulled anything crazy

My friend at school has moonbreon

From prismatic

[lofty nest]

oh shit

my craziest card rn is still Perrin and itll probs stay like that for a while

[willow ridge]

Good pack lol

[neon temple]

my best pull is still Machamp V alt art

which I got from my first ETB lol

nvm the N's Zoroark ex illustration is actually still worth more

[open laurel]

Yeah okay today's just my day isn't it

I barely even get through both my packs each day since I just don't play lmfao

[lofty nest]

Both special arts and no normal lmao

Too bad tinkaton sucks 😔

[finite ice]

but they look amazing

imo ome of the best looking cards in the game

[lofty nest]

yeah that's why it's a shame that I can't use it easily in any decks lol

[blazing forum]

what decks are people running in ranked

i have a deck that’s okay but i think i want to switch it up

[mighty badger]

^

same qwuestion

[blazing forum]

also… does anyone have an extra rocky helmet they could trade 👉👈

[lofty nest]

Mewtwo + Mew + Gardevoir but I have a bunch of options since it isn’t the most optimal

Also I have a spare rocky helm

Damn I was just in a match where it was simply whoever swung first lost lmao

That’s annoying

I won cause I’m the stalling goat

[blazing forum]

could you trade please :)

do you have a two diamond you need

wait fufa are we not friends in the app?

[lofty nest]

[blazing forum]

sorry haha

gotchu, ty so much

[lofty nest]

Yur

[radiant harness]

Special art is so clean

[blazing forum]

i might be a bad person 😭

darkrai giratina druddigon is not the deck of heroes

[stone void]

@finite ice IM SORRY I GOT ANOTHER ONE 😭😭😭😭

another secret quest done 😭

[novel crescent]

dawg

what the hell

hopw is your luck so god damn good

[stone void]

i dont know bro

my luck was always so bad before i got gold arceus

ever since then it has been insane

[hoary hornet]

still no shinies

how is everyone getting like a billion

[novel crescent]

i have wiglet and beadrile

beedrill

idk how to spell it

[lofty nest]

I've got pachirisu and that's it lol

I got a lot of non-shiny 2 stars tho

like 3

What we thinking about the quality of my recent cards are guys

[novel crescent]

dude that 3rd card gave me a jump scare

[lofty nest]

wdym it doesn't fit right in with the rest of my collection

[novel crescent]

i looked up piplup cards on ebay right because i wanna get all the piplup cards

and uh

a questionable fanmade card portraied dawn the 12 year old in

a certain way

got jumpscared

[lofty nest]

oh yeah that happens if you search for like

literally any trainer card 😭

[novel crescent]

i didnt even want a trainer card

i wanted piplup

[finite ice]

aw hell naw

[lofty nest]

oh yeah I put together a big spreadsheet of cards that I wanted

when looking through a bunch of them

calculated up the cost of all of them and uhh

tbf it's like

pretty much every single card I want from scarlet and violet + sword and shield trainer galleries and some extras

and I think 1/3rd of the price is from like 3 cards

[neon temple]

Atleast get Weiss Schwarz if you want hololive cards lmao

That shit is unlicensed chinese bs

Other than that, nice cards

I am so lucky I sold my JTG pulls early

N's Zoroark 180€->120€
Articuno 50€->30€
in two days

Might even buy myself a Bellibolt SIR if it goes below 70€

[lofty nest]

that's just how new sets go lol

[neon temple]

I guess so

[lofty nest]

ye my friend just bought it for me for like a dollar cause it was funny lol

[neon temple]

Was expecting the supply shortage to have some effect

[lofty nest]

nah new sets always drop hella after the first week

same thing happened with prismatic

[neon temple]

But the pull rates are good and it ain't as bad as prismatic

So we good

[lofty nest]

yeah the pokemon company is dealing with the market issues pretty well

doing their best to minimize scalper damage

tho I can't say much cause a friend of mine bought a Journey Together ETB and Booster Box at very much not MSRP today

but I know I didn't!

Cause I don't got that kinda money!

I think the next thing I want to work towards is the scarlet and violet base set gardevoir evolution line

cause like

holy shit

some of my favorite cards ever

but they're pricey

[neon temple]

used to be pretty cheap

sold my Gardevoir ex for 25€

then again, I consider 50€ cards fairly affordable even tho I shouldn't

[lofty nest]

see I do not

past like $20 it gets pricey for me

[neon temple]

I guess owning a 600€ piece of cardboard makes my perception a little twisted

already mad about Legends Z-A
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeB586gLis4

making some very fair points though

[finite ice]

todays pulls

[willow ridge]

Me and you

[blazing forum]

[blazing forum]

[novel crescent]

[fallen sparrow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/362787813483085825/1356044323426275530/20250330_171527.jpg?ex=67eb2230&is=67e9d0b0&hm=a83bf99ac168f11c5d40aa6c2a10b1c8ae2beb97f055e5943a19bef2a65908e3&

[blazing forum]

that’s an absolute tragedy

[novel crescent]

yea i highkey wanted to die but its fine /hj

[signal minnow]

I think i opened 16 packs of the new set and I got 1 full art

it was my second pack

my 10 pull that I put everything into actually gave me nothing

[fluid matrix]

havent pulled any shinies yet. I've gotten a 2 star though

ive opened like 29 of em i think?

got another 10 pull coming when the shop resets

[lofty nest]

My 2 star luck for this new set is wild

yo? they raised the deck cap to 20 instead of 15

[stone void]

?

i thought it was always 20

[lofty nest]

It was 15 for a long time

[stone void]

damn the more you know

i never used all the slots so i never needed to know

[lofty nest]

I was at like 14 lol

[blazing forum]

:)

[timid trellis]

Of course immediately after picking my ex deck thing I get the ex in a pack

[lofty nest]

Yuh

[lofty nest]

Now you have 2 for a real deck!

[blazing forum]

this is why i’m waiting until the last moment to choose mine

[novel crescent]

I fucking love this card

[lofty nest]

It’s a banger

@fluid matrix I found out some dudes I know were camping out GameStop on Journey Together release date since 1am 💀

I knew there was commitment but DAMN

[fluid matrix]

Oh my god bro

[lofty nest]

And THEY WERENT EVEN FIRST IN LINE

[fluid matrix]

I swear it isnt that serious

Bro WHAT

Did the mf gamestop employees clock out and setup camp the night before???

[lofty nest]

They were 3rd 😭

Gamestop closes at 8pm so sometime within those 5 hours some people already started waiting

Insane

[fluid matrix]

I imagine you have you do that with someone and take shifts sleeping

[lofty nest]

He was with 3 other people

[fluid matrix]

I refuse to believe you just stay up in the dead of night waiting for 9 hours for pokemon cards

[lofty nest]

Idk man people in their early-mid 20’s be wilding

“That one unemployed friend on a Tuesday afternoon”

Tyshi

[fluid matrix]

It has to be that guy

Unironically

[lofty nest]

Hey at least they’re beating the scalpers lmao

[fluid matrix]

True i can absolutely put some respect on it if you just like the cards for yourself

[lofty nest]

Yeah they opened em all

[fluid matrix]

But i could never fuck up my sleep that bad

[lofty nest]

My sleep is always fucked up so I’m chilling

[fluid matrix]

Like even if i had entertainment for the wait my sleep would just be fuuuuucked

[lofty nest]

They got a ton of packs so hits were inevitable but they did pull the Zacian SIR which is kinda sick

[fluid matrix]

Thats cool af

[lofty nest]

I think 70 packs in total lmao

[fluid matrix]

Kinda wanna get more packs if i ever see em later down the line to try and pull the N zoroark or Iono Bellibolt cards

[fluid matrix]

Im beefin with hop but the zoroark card is sick snd the iono card is cute

[lofty nest]

Their hits

[novel crescent]

I WANT IONOOOOOOO CARD

[lofty nest]

What hop ever do bruh

[fluid matrix]

I just dont like him man

Probably the worst rival in all the games

Oh wait they have lillies pokemon too does she have a fullart?

[lofty nest]

Yes

Lillie’s clefairy SIR is the biggest hit in the set

Also

[fluid matrix]

???

[lofty nest]

I knew it was coming but holy value drop lmao

[fluid matrix]

I dont think the clefairy card is as good aesthetically as iono or N but maybe its the competitive aspect

[lofty nest]

I think people just like lillie and the card is v pretty imo

[fluid matrix]

Its just hard to beat the sharp teeth smile on this card for me

Its so damn cute

And zoroark is just zoroark which ill always like

[lofty nest]

yeah the iono card is my favorite

But like… I get it

It’s cute

[fluid matrix]

How is this how i find out Iono's japanese name is Nanjamo

[novel crescent]

its SO CUTE

god this set is so fucking good

[fluid matrix]

The english name works perfect in japanese i figured it was just the same

[lofty nest]

Nah some people just have completely different names lol

[fluid matrix]

Bro i HATE that sango is coral in the english anime

[lofty nest]

Marnie in Japanese is Mari which is funny but it makes sense because the ‘arn’ sound is super hard for Japanese speakers to pronounce lol

[fluid matrix]

Oh yeah i cant even imagine

"maruni"

[lofty nest]

Yeah pretty much

[fluid matrix]

God damn man now i wanna pull more but theres no way id find more cards

[lofty nest]

How it be fr

Give it like a week or two and if you look through stores you’ll prolly find some stuff

Maybe not JT tho lol

[fluid matrix]

The pokemon vending machine at my kroger was in fact sold out of everything but i noticed journey together wasnt even listed in it

I suppose they focus the new set to big locations like gamestop, target, bestbuy and maybe walmart(?)

[lofty nest]

You can find em in other random stores like dollar tree and 5 below and stuff but they’re more consistent at the big ones yeah

[fluid matrix]

I usually dont even go to any stores other than kroger unless i need something they dont sell like tools or a super specific battery type so who knows if ill ever see cards lmao

But im probably gonna be stopping by the gamestop if i ever head to the mall now

[lofty nest]

But yeah I think one of the funniest words for Japanese people to try and pronounce is grueling

Actually

It’s not as bad as I thought

Like it’s pretty bad

Guruuringu lmao

But there’s probably worse

[fluid matrix]

I do love doing the translations for weird words like that. Like if youve ever seen assassination classroom theres a character called ms Yelovich from russia, but because theyre japanese kids they call her ms Yelobitch

[lofty nest]

Twirled is pretty bad too

[fluid matrix]

I always thought that was just them being mean till i learned some japanese lol

[lofty nest]

Wait twirled is like really bad lmao

[fluid matrix]

I cant even try and get it myself

[lofty nest]

Ok but in the dub they also call her Yelobitch so I think part of it IS them trolling lol

Tsuwaarudo

[fluid matrix]

Horrible lmao

[lofty nest]

I’m sure there’s an actual word for it

Ik uzumaki is spiral but only cause of junji ito

[fluid matrix]

Generally the only time they would pronounce a word like we would is if the word originated in english

[lofty nest]

Ye

Or like another language

For country names in specific

[fluid matrix]

Ngl doitsu coming from dutch and meaning germany always got me from this

[lofty nest]

Right

That’s what I was thinking of

Mostly english for sure tho
