Pokemon

[lofty nest]

I got vibe checked with my knowledge when I actually went tho

“Yeah I know some Japanese I can get around”

Then when I get there it’s just suddenly all gone

[fluid matrix]

Im worried about that happening to me. I think listening will be okay for the most part but im worried i wont be able to summon words

[lofty nest]

Never realize how much you don’t know till the quiz fr

Like

You can get around

It just WILL be awkward and sometimes difficult lol

But the people are very nice

[fluid matrix]

Just waiting for the day someone hits me with a question i wasnt ready for

Already stunlocks me in english

Like you go to order a burger and they hit you with like "what kind of bread do you want?" Or something and youre just like "shit i wasnt ready i didnt know this was a question"

[lofty nest]

The worst thing ever is whenever I ask someone something in Japanese and they don’t catch what I said and I’m like “oh fuck did they not hear me or did what I say not make sense what do I do”

Then I stammer and use hand gestures and they get the gist lol

There’s a lot of that

[fluid matrix]

Been watching ludiwg and michael reeves go across japan and he keeps telling people "I thank thee for thy assistance" instead of just like thanks and its so funny

[lofty nest]

I saw thumbnails for that but haven’t watched any of it

Is bro adding “gozaru” at the end or some shit

Ik that’s a silly trope

[fluid matrix]

Its fantastic, you should watch it

[fluid matrix]

Idk what he is saying exactly but i know he asked chat gpt for like a more heartfelt thanks so much than just saying arigatou and thats what it spat at him

And he cant use the internet or anything so he doesnt know he is being weird

He only has the reactions to go off of

[lofty nest]

Bro’s gettin goofy with it

Arigatou gozaimasu is like THE polite thank you lol

Ig you could throw a domo at the start

[fluid matrix]

I think he just wanted to sound more proficient so he was looking for a different phrase

Cause like anyone knows arigatou

[lofty nest]

True, it just happens to also be what everybody actually says lol

Idk if Japanese has a lot of thank you synonyms like english does

English just has a million synonyms anyways

Part of why it’s so hard to learn lol, there’s a million different ways to say stuff

[neon temple]

disappointed about no hat in the Lillie cards

[fluid matrix]

Ooh actually hat would make me like it way more

[novel crescent]

Wonderpick baby

[lofty nest]

Sheeesh

[novel crescent]

Shop reset and 1 battle gave me enough hourglasses for 10 packs

Wish me luck

Shit fucking hates me dude jesus

[novel crescent]

[novel crescent]

[mighty badger]

pokemon enjoyers taking over

[fluid matrix]

My third ten pull of the set and this is all i got bro

What did i do to deserve this

I opened one more and finally got my first shiny

My account isnt cursed

[sand wigeon]

nice agumon pull

[blazing forum]

did another 10 pack and got these, plus a duplicate of grafaiai and my third full art gholdengo but i’ll take a new shiny

[fallen sparrow]

It's probably ok?

Idk how much the hack buffed brawly

[mighty badger]

none

https://i.imgur.com/ENKh66S.png

I died to the route 110 wailmer trainer

there was a trainer with like 2 magnemites and like}

how tf you meant to deal with a steel type with this

[fallen sparrow]

The problem looks more like the electric type than the steel

[mighty badger]

also yeah the entire hack's difficulty just goes to the trainer placement and the pokemon you get

that's it

no teams are changed other then like some moves being changed on bp and pp that are too good

[willow ridge]

What hack

[mighty badger]

pokemon sippy cup sapphire

it's very fucking new

[willow ridge]

Interesting

[sand wigeon]

more digimon talk :D

yall ever watch the last kizuna movie

its so peam

[willow ridge]

i hate the april fools update

[blazing forum]

?

[willow ridge]

april fools update in pokerogue drastically increased trainer shiny odds

[blazing forum]

oh LMAO

that's so mean

[willow ridge]

so many trainers have had 2-3 shinies

[warm spire]

can any card be shiny

[lofty nest]

My balls are great

[blazing forum]

🤧🤧🤧

[blazing forum]

(congrats though this is a big one)

[sand wigeon]

fire deck name

[radiant harness]

new card shop opened 5 minutes away from my house

[sand wigeon]

delbaWow

[lofty nest]

I see what deck you’re running smh

[blazing forum]

i just want to win bro

[lofty nest]

I only play fair and balanced and non-meta Dialga Arceus deck

[blazing forum]

[lofty nest]

I do think drudd darkrai giratina is like the #1 deck rn tho

[radiant harness]

he gave me 2 free japanese packs too and i pulled the sar

[lofty nest]

Woag

[blazing forum]

it’s like, way too good 😭

should NOT be so effective

[lofty nest]

Pretty fucked up fr

I only have one darkrai and no giratina

Dialga arceus is v good but like

That deck is another level

[radiant harness]

i don’t play too much ranked

idk what decks to make

or battle

any deck recommendations

[fluid matrix]

I like darkrai weavile but if you run into drud a lot it might not be good

ive never encountered a drud though for some reason

[lofty nest]

Poor guy lmao

Double infernape

My deck actually hard countered his

It is what it is I take those wins

[whole grove]

3 hits 2 packs

[void hill]

Pokemon

[opaque pike]

hey wheres my digimon channel

[novel crescent]

ii want that tatsugiri card so baddd

[whole grove]

i have 2 wanna trade?

[novel crescent]

:O yea

do you have a gholdengoo?

8021731389419794

[whole grove]

not sure lemme check

i dont, is that a one star?

[novel crescent]

ye

[whole grove]

sent a friend request

[novel crescent]

NOOOOO I FORGOT ABOUT THE NEW SET COOL DOWN

this is bullshit

cant trade new set for a certain amount after it releases

[whole grove]

ohhhhh

well as soon as that ends ping me and its yours

[novel crescent]

sweet sweet

[uneven valley]

Currently building a new deck and these new Iono cards look amazing

[lofty nest]

yuh

[uneven valley]

• these sleeves make em look 100x prettier. Holographic sleeves was something i never knew i needed

[lofty nest]

playing with full arts/IRs is definitely a flex lol

[fluid matrix]

Dude its so simple but i actually really like the sneak peak wonder pick event

Feels like a great time to blow a bunch of wonder pick hourglasses since the odds of getting what you want are way better

And those hourglasses were mostly just collecting dust, im up to 450 of em

[blazing forum]

i have 750 😭😭😭

[fluid matrix]

I hit 2 1 stars, completed museum, and got a giratina ex from this event

Sneak peek is crazy. 20 percent to get the card you want by peeking and then if you dont hit that you get a 25 percent chance after picking one of the other cards

Math comes out to a 40 percent success rate if you only have one card you want

[blazing forum]

i also got a giratina ex in a wonder pick

i wish they would make this a permanent feature

just got a clodsire ex in wonder pick too lol

[fluid matrix]

This is a secret mission????

(i didnt get this someone else discovered it)

[blazing forum]

unfortunately yeah

[lofty nest]

that's so raw

[fluid matrix]

Imagine that was a thing in real tcg

You can mail 99 gimmighouls to creatures inc and they will mail you back an exclusive gholdengo

[hoary hornet]

First shiny finally

[stone void]

I just hit a full art grafaiai from the sneak peak event

last one I needed

[hoary hornet]

Just got the museum for myself, same thing happened but with the Buizel full art instead lol

[willow ridge]

Fire shiny. Mine was a weedle lol

[willow ridge]

I got this a few days ago, my luck with 1 stars is really good but with everything else is ass

[fluid matrix]

heres hoping people will still be pulling older packs so i can wonder pick cards off them lmao

i like completing the museums cause they give great rewards

[rigid kraken]

still yet to get a shiny aside from the free cyclizar

[lofty nest]

@blazing forum I’ve fallen to the dark side, this is the true way of the world

[fluid matrix]

Man druddigon really fucked this game up huh

[lofty nest]

a little

100% the best pokemon in the game

[fluid matrix]

I havent grinded ranked or anything but up till now i really havent seen it much which is probably for the best

I hear the horror stories

[lofty nest]

there's ways to get around it but it's difficult

poison, burned, and other DoT effects are really good versus drud, but the problem is that status decks get absolutely destroyed by arceus, and dialga + arceus is a VERY common deck rn

greninja + cyrus is good but greninja is stage 2 and needs time to prep, sabrina + cyrus is also good but only works if they only have one drud and no spare tanks

[fluid matrix]

do people still put sabrina in their decks? I feel like thats the solution to drud most of the time barring them just having 2 druds on the field

[lofty nest]

yeah sabrina is still good

tho a lot of the time they'll have leaf or something and just swap them right back in so you can usually only get one hit in so you either gotta OHKO or have cyrus or smtn

[blazing forum]

i run one sabrina one cyrus

[blazing forum]

😔✊

i don’t like it but i do it bc it’s the fastest way to climb

i think i’m on like an 8 game win streak

i heard from ultra ball onwards it’s not very good though

[lofty nest]

I'm sure there's some other meta swaps or w/e

[fluid matrix]

same 🤝

[blazing forum]

it’s a good combo

not too many guys to clog inventory

i’m loving this wonder pick campaign, i’ve filled out 1 stars EXs and holos from the new pack that i didn’t have before

[lofty nest]

@blazing forum yeah I'm the goat

I saw the point requirement needed to get to master ball

1450

Ultra ball is 710 AND you don't get win streak bonus anymore 😭

[blazing forum]

WHAT

THATS CRIMINAL

[open laurel]

hmm

[fluid matrix]

any pokemon tcg enjoyers know what the best way to go about finding cards is?

I wanna get this elite trainer box from a while ago for my friend as a birthday gift but I cant find it for less than like 90 dollars which seems like just huge scalping

[blazing forum]

contrary mon? topsy turvey?

[uneven valley]

Most sets are expensive af cause the hobby is so big. But Silver tempest is expensive in general cause of the Lugia in the set

[fluid matrix]

oh really?

damn, once again im just here for the pokemon on the box lmao

didnt even know there was some big hit possible in it

[uneven valley]

Yeah, people are very crazy about this card in particular

[fluid matrix]

found one for 70 and decided fuck it Im no stranger to spending 60ish on gifts

[blazing forum]

i’m so close to completing the regular cards for genetic apex, could anyone help me finish it off? i’m just missing:

• venusaur (regular)
• starmie ex
• gyarados

[lofty nest]

smackdown

[blazing forum]

[uneven valley]

[blazing forum]

yeah he needs that one

i don't think you can trade your last one can you?...

could be wrong about that

[uneven valley]

I did with the one i sent to you

They just give you a warning about it

But yall dont have any pack points left? Cause some of these are very cheap to make

[blazing forum]

i like to save mine for big cards

for apex i spent 1,250 on the rainbow moltres ex

[lofty nest]

you can

it stays registered in the dex but if you tap on it then it'll say "not obtained" but your number doesn't go down

[blazing forum]

[blazing forum]

i was cleaning out old files and i found this replay 😭

oh shoot hold on

wait how do i share showdown replays

[signal minnow]

[fallen sparrow]

Imagine not pinging me

Showdown is pretty much the only thing I'm actually good at

[signal minnow]

I respect it

[blazing forum]

downloaded

also this replay is not worth all this trouble but i’ve come too far that i have to show it now

[fallen sparrow]

You'd have to upload the file to discord

[blazing forum]

Got it

Will do soon then

[fallen sparrow]

It's usually easier to just upload to the replay server

[fallen sparrow]

@blazing forum took me a bit to find cuz I only ever downloaded one game, back when I was just starting

it should look smth like this

damn this things almost 5 years old

[blazing forum]

yeah that’s what mine looks like

[fallen sparrow]

That mf killed my only option against all of Candice’s ice types right before her gym

[west copper]

im right

[digital dirge]

Honestly think I should try this again
I’ve actually completed a hardcore nuzlocke now (Black) so I have some greater skill now

[mighty badger]

i might re run that nuzlocke i tried on sippy cup sapphire

its so much harder then you think

watching drayano play it and the only Pokémon i remembered him using was meditite and tailow

basically it's a new hack, sapphire made to be as hard as it can but without editing any trainer fights

[west copper]

lost a geodude to mars but he was a sacrificial lamb so we goated

[rigid kraken]

this game is a waste of my fucking attention

what is this shit

mfers getting actual cool pulls

and i get 2 shiny weedles

this set has been so unkind to me

[lofty nest]

Another day another 0 EXs in my wonderpicks lol

[verbal zinc]

broke ass

[west copper]

THE 10% ETERNA CITY FISHING 🙏

[lofty nest]

@blazing forum so I just did the math, assuming I have a 50% winrate, I would need to play 480 more matches to make it to masterball

Season ends in 17 days so that’s a little under 30 matches a day 😭

But if I have a 60% winrate then the number drops all the way down to 225 matches

Even a 55% winrate drops it to 307 games tho so maybe it’s more achievable, depends on how much I get bodied lol

[west copper]

if you have a 100% winrate though...

[lofty nest]

Still 73 games 😭

[west copper]

only 4 and a bit games a day

[lofty nest]

The lowest win% (rounded to the nearest integer) you can have while still going positive until master ball is 42%

[west copper]

simply take barrys advice

never let your pokemon take a hit

and never miss

[lofty nest]

so you can get to masterball with a 42% winrate, it would just take you over 5 thousand games

[west copper]

good heavens

[lofty nest]

Rn my winrate is 51-52 ish but I’ve been winning slightly more with my current deck so maybe it’ll be fine

Took a fair bit of losses in earlier ranks with messing around and figuring out what deck to run

I’ve settled on my current one tho

3 different energy types cause I’m the goat

[lofty nest]

Downside is matches tend to be on the longer side

[blazing forum]

oh thats horrendous

are you going to go for it

i feel like that’s so much time for diminishing rewards

[lofty nest]

I rlly just want the emblem, but if my winrate is good then it won't take nearly as many games :)

[blazing forum]

true

good luck though

i don’t doubt your ability but those games are so luck dependent 😭

[lofty nest]

ok honestly

I just checked, assuming it's 7 minutes per game, running 480 games would only take 56 hours total

and 7 minutes is pretty generous

so like it's a lot

like 3ish hours a day and that's assuming my winrate is bad

but it's not as egregious as I initially thought

[blazing forum]

lock in brother you got this

[fallen sparrow]

How long is a game

[lofty nest]

7 ish minutes

[fallen sparrow]

Oh that's not that bad

I'm definitely desensitized to ridiculous amounts of games tho

[stone void]

your luck is turning genuinely insane

[stone void]

IK

LIKE

HOW

[fluid matrix]

What the fuck wally

[stone void]

2 god packs in 3 days is insane

[stone void]

ik 😭

both were free daily packs

to add to the luck

[fluid matrix]

Actual insanity

[stone void]

I’m gonna get a lottery ticket real quick

[blazing forum]

.05% chance for any one pack to be a god pack btw

[stone void]

be right back

[blazing forum]

i've never had a god pack and i have no gold cards

[stone void]

sorry 😔

[fluid matrix]

Its okay pepper our days will come

[stone void]

I wanna bless u with god pack so bad

[blazing forum]

hoping so

for 569 packs the odds that i would've gotten a god pack by now are 28.45%

so not like, in my favor but it's getting higher

[fluid matrix]

I think the chances are like 50 percent for a crown at that point right?

[blazing forum]

not counting god packs, with 596 opened packs i had a 69.67% chance to pull one

[violet grotto]

definitely a less important goodie

[rigid kraken]

[lofty nest]

@fluid matrix i went to gamestop cause journey together restock and the dude in front of me got the last thing 😭

[fluid matrix]

Dude that is such a tragedy

Even knowing the restock time 2 weeks later you still have to compete man thats crazy

[lofty nest]

I was 3 minutes late cause of class

gg

Gonna check the vending machine and then see if there’s lines at any of the stores that open later

[fluid matrix]

If you have a mall gamestop they probably open later

Mall by me opens at 11

[lofty nest]

yeah there’s 2 others that open later

One at 11 one at 12

[fluid matrix]

Noon is wild

But hey more chances for you

[lofty nest]

Vending machine not stocked rip

Maybe later

Lmaooo another dude did the same thing, walked in, saw I didn’t get anything at the vending machine, walked out

[lofty nest]

Sick I’m first in line at this one

W

[fluid matrix]

Did my last 10 pull im gonna do for this set and only got this

[rigid kraken]

"only" and its a shiny

[fluid matrix]

True actually cause this is only my second shiny

But like 8 packs of nothing is sad

[lofty nest]

Massive

[fluid matrix]

Oh shit wtf

I didnt even know that was an option

[lofty nest]

It’s new I think

not as many JT packs as I thought but it's chill

[lofty nest]

The (s)hits

The ursaluna is cool but the bellibolt is a dupe and rest was garbage

[lofty nest]

if I get 4 more bellibolts I'll have enough to just do a page of iono surrounded by bellibolts lmao

I need a binder tho

[broken creek]

Little late, but I joined the club

[novel crescent]

@lofty nest

I lovw my coworkers

[lofty nest]

????

was it your birthday or some shit

[novel crescent]

No

[lofty nest]

how did they get their hands on that

[novel crescent]

We just gave one of my cowokrers moneey

And he bought them

[lofty nest]

from where

[novel crescent]

Card shop

[lofty nest]

oh rip

hopefully wasn't gouged too bad

dude actually

gamestop charged a decent amount for the iono premium thing

[novel crescent]

Dude it was so good

[lofty nest]

what'd they sell it for

[novel crescent]

I could get 2 151 for all the ones i got

Pic on the left

Is 150

[lofty nest]

ok that's not awful

it's not the greatest but it could be much worse

since each of those boxes MSRP is like $23 ish

[lofty nest]

@novel crescent you should mail me all of the iono's bellibolts that you pull :3

[novel crescent]

I didnt get that and no

I want that onr

[lofty nest]

you could prolly trade one of the articunos for smtn, it goes for a good bit

3 zacians is wild tho lol

[novel crescent]

Yea fuck this guy jesus

[novel crescent]

Me and 2 of my friends are gonna do a master set so i gave him the articuno LOL

[lofty nest]

Oh god

I could never master set anything tbh

It’s just too expensive/difficult

[verbal zinc]

save some zacians for the rest of us

[lofty nest]

Instead I will just have a page full of iono lmao

[novel crescent]

I fuckin would dude

[novel crescent]

Fair enough

[novel crescent]

@lofty nest

I gave my friend 65 more and he went and bought a booster box that we shared

I gor 11 cards

[lofty nest]

lol nice

[novel crescent]

Im not spending anymore on pokemon for 2 months dude

400 in a week is

[lofty nest]

yeah understandable

[novel crescent]

[lofty nest]

I just did 50 today and now I'm tapped out for a bit

I also bought binders so that added onto it

[novel crescent]

Im gonna do this

Eventually

[lofty nest]

[blazing forum]

i’m going to focus 1 stars for now, i only need three left to complete genetic apex: ditto, diglett, weezing

any traders in chat

[hoary hornet]

I have 1* ditto and diglett but no weezing

[fluid matrix]

I finally hit something from a non 10 pull

[blazing forum]

what do you need sky? happy to trade anything i can

[hoary hornet]

not too many 1*s I need, mostly cosmetic stuff just to have in my collection like STS croagunk or GA golbat\

[blazing forum]

i can’t trade croagunk but i got you w golbat

[mighty badger]

https://www.twitch.tv/byonemil rad red e4 soon

[hoary hornet]

Diglett otw

Without being too demanding, GA Nidoking or STS Tangrowth would work

(the one I want most is STS Shaymin but everyone and their dog wants to keep that one lmfao)

[mighty badger]

they won

[blazing forum]

i only have 1 nidoking so i can’t trade that, and i don’t have any tangrowth/shaymin 😭

but ty for the diglett trade, i appreciate that

[fallen sparrow]

wait @blazing forum did you ever share the replay

[blazing forum]

omg i forgot

but i’m walking out the door rn 😭

[fallen sparrow]

😭

[violet grotto]

Just pulled my 4th card that’s the shiny star thing

[novel crescent]

Love wiglett

[violet grotto]

That’s pretty good too

I have 10 extra 1 star cards totals for this pack set I keep pulling them and I don’t want them

[modest pine]

the first like 10 packs i had a buizel in all of them it was annoying

[novel crescent]

[radiant harness]

Just hit the walmart restock

-$300but keeping some sealed

for what i opened so far i pulled a gardevoir ex sar🥹🥹🥹🥹

[uneven valley]

What sets were u able to grab?

[radiant harness]

Got 2 belibolt boxes

[fluid matrix]

I planned on hitting some stores today but im out of gas so i figured id worry about it tomorrow

[radiant harness]

3 random tins

[fluid matrix]

Probably wont get shit but its fine

[radiant harness]

Scarlet violet base etb

Paldea adventure chest

Prolly gonna resell the belibolt boxes and scarlet violet base after a while

Idek why i sent ts but most of these books are from when i was like 11

[uneven valley]

I love that the bellibolt promo in those boxes is just a flipped version of the normal one

[lofty nest]

Bruh I wish I could casually just drop $300 on stuff lmao

Reselling is cringe tho smh

Well ig it’s not cringe if you don’t hike up the price

[radiant harness]

I rip some sell some

I’m 16 i have to fund my hobby somehow

[lofty nest]

mmmm

Get a job smh

I had one at 16

Back in my day tyshi

[novel crescent]

Ong

Ive been workin since i was 14

Soooo thats wht i could alsp casually drop 200 on pokemon :3

Vetod myself till june

[novel crescent]

How much are you selling them for

Like how much more thsn you bought them for

[lofty nest]

instead I just drop $27 on 5 blisters and call it a day

like what I did rn 🗣️ 🔥

[novel crescent]

Valid

Oh yea got my journey together binder

And a quadcast 2 s

[lofty nest]

swag

[uneven valley]

Thats a dope binder, what brand?

[novel crescent]

No idea

I got it at bestbuy

[radiant harness]

Holding onto them

Sell when its right

[radiant harness]

Ive been working since i was 14

I have a job

I have other priorities i want to spend my money on besides pokemon

[lofty nest]

Mmmm

Idk, I’m just not personally a fan of the idea of buying cards to sell them later

Like I understand the reasoning, I just don’t like it lol

Atp just invest in stocks or smtn not pokemon cards

[radiant harness]

Lowkey opened another box

And i pulled the ghastly AR

Made my money back🥹🥹

[lofty nest]

Huge

[radiant harness]

Can’t grade it tho unfortunately the centering off

[lofty nest]

Do you send stuff for grading?

I don’t bother cause I don’t really like slabs and they’re way too expensive anyways

At most I’d grade like one card

[radiant harness]

It would be my first

But my dad is sending one of his ohtani cards in

So i wanna send some of mine in too

[uneven valley]

I wanna grade stuff myself. But sending from Norway to other countries is hella expensive. So im trynna find a trusted middleman

[radiant harness]

Some of my favorites in my collection

[uneven valley]

That old gardevoir ex is stunning

[radiant harness]

Still sealed

Also have this holy grail for me

[uneven valley]

I love the style of the EX cards from that era

[radiant harness]

That artwork is literally pristine 🥹

[lofty nest]

I want the full set of the gardevoir on the left so bad

[radiant harness]

S&V base?

[lofty nest]

yeah but I just mean the raltz, kirlia, gardevoir trio

[radiant harness]

I’m 100% gonna get it graded

[lofty nest]

it's just so peak

[radiant harness]

It’s in such good condition

Perfect centering

[fluid matrix]

I fuck with slabs heavy

Id love to pull the zoroark card i want, get it graded, then display it in a slab on my shelf

[novel crescent]

I have the cincinno mincinno cards from temporal fprces that are like this

Very cute

[radiant harness]

Tonight is the trade night at my card shop

Local card shop

Might hit big on a giveaway

I might be able to finally get my hands on prismatic

[lofty nest]

the only cards I want from prismatic are trainers lmao

only way I'm getting all the eevees is if I hit a god pack

[novel crescent]

I bought one blister with 2 packs a coin and a eevee promo for 30 bucks recently

Got sylveon ex just the boring one

[uneven valley]

I lowkey wanna get some of these for my few graded cards

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdYeowp2/

[novel crescent]

Thats sick tbh

Easier display to

[uneven valley]

I wanna get all my old cards graded. Just cause i want em in slabs, the condition of them is horrible xD

[lofty nest]

atp you could get the like

magnetic card holders

that are basically slabs but you don't have to pay a bunch for them to get graded and come back as PSA 5 lol

[uneven valley]

Im considering doing Ace grading

I love the lil designs they do for the slabs

[lofty nest]

Blisters came in clutch

[fluid matrix]

Damn bro idk how ill ever get more journey together packs

I got money but i just cant be out early enough

I figure the demand probably wont ever go down to keep cleaning out out the stores cause new packs will just keep coming out right?

[fallen sparrow]

@blazing forum I wanna watch the gaming 😭

[lofty nest]

honestly I just found them at target

I don't think scalpers are nearly as bad rn

still gotta get lucky with restocks tho

[fluid matrix]

I ran the target, gamestop, best buy, second gamestop gauntlet last week and this week but no dice

also tried walmart once and kroger 3 times

[lofty nest]

damn

you're checking the spots near the registers right?

I didn't know they had move them out there for a while

they're p much all near the front of the store

I think target and walmart are probably your best bet for random restocks, I have no idea on kroger and best buy but gamestop restock days are changing to saturday so if you really want stuff you can hit up gamestop when they open on Saturdays but I think new releases are still on Fridays

[fluid matrix]

I think so? I may not know exactly what you mean but i usually check where the cards would usually be then around the counter a little

[fluid matrix]

wait thats HUGE

surely that doesnt start tomorrow right

cause ill actually hit up gamestop tomorrow if they are restocking Journey together

[lofty nest]

it does but not JT today I don't think

different sets iirc

[fluid matrix]

oh did you mean like the newest set is the one that will continue to restock on fridays

so like JT wont move to saturdays until after the next set comes out

[jaunty shadow]

Oh yeah got another of these

I just want the Charizard man :/
