Topsy-Turvy Edition>I want to learn the game, where do I begin?Download PTCGL at https://tcg.pokemon.com/en-us/tcglThe game has a quick tutorial and a bunch of decent decks to get you started against other beginners or against the AI. Some of those decks are very close to meta too. You can also go to your local game store and see if people are playing Pokémon.>I know how to play, how do I make my own deck?You have a decent beginner's guide at https://www.justinbasil.com/guideThere's also the old /tcg/ guide at https://imgur.com/a/W4NkOu6After that, look up meta decks and try to reverse engineer them to see how things work.>Where to find meta decks?For big irl events, go to https://limitlesstcg.com/decksFor online events, go to https://play.limitlesstcg.com/decks?game=PTCGFor japanese events, go to https://pokecabook.com/archives/1417Comment too long.

>>59125963I don't remember them offhand, but if you play on TCGL there's a handful of codes you can probably use to fix the free decks they gave out recently which you should also get when you log in. Otherwise, just steal shit from Limitless tourney results and do some research to figure out why they run the cards they do.>>59125959I bet his gay ass is on a better deck too
>>59125959I don't mind Grass being playable. What I do mind is Ogerpon existing in the same space as Meganium and Forest. It sure is "fun" and "exciting" to get my ass blown out by Ogerpon getting to come in, get 2 energy (that count as 4 teehee), draw a free card, and one-tap whatever the fuck is on the board if I've gotten to do any set up.>>59126016I don't think Rocket's Mewtwo counts as a better deck, but your mileage may vary.
>>59125963Figure out the rule differences between pocket and the real TCG.TCG doesn't work off of a point system. They use prize cards. Energy isn't free supply, it's part of your deck. Games will take about 20 mins or so. And I think pocket limits what pokemon are/aren't available in game.Power creep is different.Outside of those, the only thing I would genuinely suggest is just play some games with the decks they provide you. They are good enough to play against a majority of people if not almost 1:1 a net deck.If you like the game and want to expand/explore decks, the best way to do so in TCGL is buy like 200 codes from a reseller for like 20 bucks. Redeem them, you will get a fuck load of a golden ticket currency from duplicate pulls from those packs, and you can just use that to build/buy any deck you could wish and then some.
selling codes hmu
>>59125963I wish people read the op.
I can't play this shit, battles are so fucking slow.If gen 10 is like this then im out.
>>59029170it's great how this keeps happening more and more
>>59029170idk if they still give refunds, it was awesome when they were forced to
The let's go option was such a massive quality of life improvement It's funny the best thing the series did was add a mechanic that let's you skip the main gameplay
>>59029170Too bad they didn't add a mechanic that lets you skip talking to ugly characters or using ugly pokemon
>>59125459there's one called playing a better game
The Best Pokemon game in the series....again
>>59118956Gotta make a funny noise first so the guy will inspect it closely right before it blows up
>>59118956Even just bricking the console like before is enough
>>59123507or deleting saves for everything else
>>59124597Anything bad enough to require another refund would be funny as fuck
>>59125455but not enough to teach 'em a lesson
HOLY FUCKING SHIT IS THAT MOTHERFUCKIN' TYRANTRUM??!?other fossil and fossil-adjacent mons welcome too :3
Me on the right.
did they grow on you?
>>59122660Yes
>>59122660For such a weird concept, it's amazing how absolutely unremarkable the designs ended up being.Dracovish was always the only fun design. The other three have nothing going for them
>>59125810Post your designs then
>>59122660Arctozolt is cute
>>59122660Arctovish is the most "normal" of the bunch and because of that it's probably the weakest designThe two halves don't clash enough
This STILL bothers me.
>>59125501True! She is elegant and I want to mess that up. Would use her hair as handlebars. Can't do that with Vaporeon.
>>59125501>>59125823Stop being horny degenerates. Stop being attracted to Pokémon.
>>59120608fuck offi will never not be mad about the mega they did my nigga starmie so dirty
>>59125501This is officially acknowledged
>>59119944>her
20 years and they still haven’t improved past Wii graphics
20 years and niggas still think that graphics matter
>>59126067You’re right. You can do pokemon battles in an excel spreadsheet. The pictures are for kids.
>>59126065pic unrelated
This is a suitable board.
Is this art?
Me on the left.
My favorite character from an independent animated web series just died. Can I have an Azumarill thread?
>>59124552What a cozy spot!

>>59125705Me on the left, my beautiful wife on the right
>>59125732Based couple. She's a matriarch.
>our arcanine accidently trips my wife>our sprigatitto thinks its hurting my wife and starts attacking it>arcanine about to absolutely destroy him in retaliation >get bit by sprigatito breaking up the fightFuck my life, evidently cat pokemon bites can be super infectious and now I'm at the emergency room.
First time I saw this piece of crap I thought it was a shiny. It would have been my very first shiny. What a let down.
>>59122695Eastbros...the West Side fuckwads are trying to sneak into our thread...
WEST SIDE, NIGGA WE HIT EM UP
Me in the West.
>20% chance to ignore the most important statwhy is it allowed
Because it’s fun to pull a cheeky gotcha first move in the early game with a slow Pokémon
>>59125909Because it's meant to be a cute item that gives slow mons in the campaign a helping hand.It's really not that good in competitive because you want more utility or damage rather than a coinflip to go first (assuming other foes don't ALSO proc Quick Claw and have higher speed), and the only reason it's such a meme is because THOSE sets in Battle Facilities use it to further fuck you over if your RNG goes awry.
because sometimes you want to slowbro to go first twice
>>59125930Pokemon’s core audience is in the 24-36 age bracket sis
>>59125909It's also an 80% chance to be dead weight
misdreavus on the front page!
>>59124071shuppet is so lucky...
>>59121599As she should be!
