>>56917762I'm always horny.
I can't believe these are my choices, what a scam.
>>56917754ngl game got kinda boring kinda fastnot that I want more cards or anything, but more to do with the cards I already have since I have several finished decks
>>56917754Post Ur win/point scores and main deck:Dragonite>97 wins>285 pts>2.938 pts/win
>>56917784Mewtwo229 wins420 pointsPoints is kinda irrelevant bc concessions should be used to save everyone time when the game is simple to end with no outs.
>>56917783list your finished decks
>>56917794>concessions should be used to save everyone timeMewtwofag with the shit takes
>>5691778461 wins with 174 pointsPoints are either a measure of how close most of your games are or how much you concede I'd imagine
>>56917754I like collect cards but the current selection is too "KANTOOOOO!!!!", I need more sets and more waifucards.
>>56917810>Noooooo I need MUH pointsGrow up
Is venustall good? I just beat charizard deck
What are we thinking of pairing with Starbucks? Obviously Articuno is most popular but it seems kinda trash without misty.
>>56917811Dragonite points get inflated by 5+ point games when Draco Meteor overkills the bench.
>>56917810Eh, I run pika, and most of my opponents concede after a pin when I already have 2 points.>85 wins>189 pointsI think people are also less likely to play games out when playing vs the top decks. Your experience with a dragonite deck seems very different from mine with a pika deck.
>go first >ConcedeIts that easy.
Poliwrath funny
>>56917831Don't think it counts overflow, there's a lot of games where you have to kill 2 exs for the win, tho I guess that'd mean mine would be inflated too
>>56917817If you valued your time you would not be playing a game and you definitely would not be playing a slow fucking deck like Mewtwo.
>>56917845They do count, they tell you as much in missions that track points, saying you got 4 for that battle.
I don't get it, why are regular 4 Diamond EX cards more expensive than Star rarity full art cards? 500 for a regular Venusaur EX compared to 400 points for a full art Pidgeot for example, then there's a huge gap in price for the next tier of cards at 1250 points. It really feels like the prices weren't planned at all and they just threw what they thought was "more fair".Not only that, but I counted and I'm only missing 7 Diamond rarity EX Pokemon between all three packs compared to over 30 star rarity ones, the pull rates are all over the place.
>>56917844gib poliwrath plz
>Open pack>notices full art on the back of the 5 cards>game crashes when i touch the first card>reload game, check cards.>the full art was gyrarados, the pokemon famous for "CRASHing everything in a fit of fury"Spooky.
I'll be back on November 22nd I guess. Shit get's boring really quick
>>56917873You can only say this once you post your deck/s.
>>56917844poliwrath is my favourite pokemon, would you say he's good? I haven't really tried him yet but also i havent really had anything to back him up, my water is dried out
>>56917866>PoliI hope Politoed gets Rain Dance.
>>56917838Very different experience. Pika never knows what to do if they don't have a script.
>>56917841kek if I start doing this my life will improve dramatically I think
>>56917783the game is very simple so theres not much variety other than flip a coin and do big damage. Ive been playing a lot of weezing and arbok which is fun since you aren't just focused on doing dealing damage every turn.
>>56917803Charizard, Mewtwo, Pikachu, Articuno, Venusaur, and Koga are the ones I have assembled right nowI had many others like Marowak, Alakazam, Pidgeot, and ones I put together for the diamond-only missions but disassembled them to keep the UI tidier since the unnecessarily large images cause more scrolling
>>56917754Got my second one today. What decks should I build with with?I have;gyarados omastarlapras ex1 articuno ex
>>56917894I honestly don't blame people. When I go second my mindset is "this is my game to lose", and when I go first it's "I lost, let me play this out for fun."
>>56917894Ive no idea why not just let players give energy to a benched pokemon or something or to the active but no battle.Muh balance goes through the window when your opponent can just wreck your shit by turn 3
>can't get anything from Mewtwo pack except Mewtwo EX>get triggered, start pulling every Weezing wonder pick I see>after 3 failed attempts, finally get a full are Weezing>still need another one>still also need Koga tooFuck this game. Let me sell my immersion are Mewtwo EXs. Let me sell my immersion Charizard EX dupes. LET ME SELL SOMETHING, ANYTHING, PLEASEAlso, I've been running into Mewtwo decks that run a dark package of Arbok and/or Weezing. Why? It doesn't seem very good, even if they have type advantage on Mewtwo. And when are we getting more wonder trade hour glasses? I only have 100 left, feeling kinda naked even if the pool of cards that I actually want is dwindling.
>>56917900if you have two starmies then build a starmie articuno deck. its pretty good
The only fun deck I have been able to build yet.Still lacking too many cards.
Alright folks what do you prefer in a no-win scenario >conceding and not wasting any time>fighting to the bitter end
uhhhh what happened to my wins bros
>>56917909Weezing+Koga is just a stallmon who annoys your opponent with poison and doesn't even need a dark energy to buy you a turn.And Koga can save you from losing the KO.
Why did they make Crowns completely inferior to Immersives?
>>56917918I literally consneed the moment i see heads on the starting coin flip
>>56917923I prefer Crowns and the "sparkly EX" versions of cards over Immersives. I don't like the Immersives at all.
>>56917923crowns are uglier than normal exes
>>56917864It jumps to take advantage of whales, the rest are still fairly obtainable and good for f2p as long as you understand how to make offmeta decks
>>56917920Anon, you were playing against the CPU.
>>56917910I only have 1 articuno going to start pulling mewtwo packs now until Fire eventually starts then go back to Pikachu to get a 2nd arcanine. then maybe back to charizard to get 9tails and a 2nd moltres ex
>>56917909Yeah the range of things you can do with this game feels so limited, getting rare cards/cards you like is the only fun thing and that just oscillates between frustration (still have to chase X, it's taking forever) and boredom (ok I finished X but now I have nothing to do). And given the shitshow of the battle system, PVP battling isn't salvaging the game in the absence of other stuff to do.
>>56917918conceding and not giving a thanks
Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of me FAPPING TO WEEZING. WEEZINGCHADS, WHERE YOU @?
>>56917909Kek, I've been opening Charizard packs and I still don't have any Primeape's. I even got an immersive Charizard but still no Primeape.
>>56917947bokzinghead reporting in
>go first >No energy>Automatically at severe disadvantage against every single deckWhat were they thinking?Only deck i could possibly think benefits from starting first would be mewtwo just to get to gardevoir faster
I put my go to decklist in a binder and then put that binder as my player's featured in my profile, to show the losers what slop i just beat them with
>>56917955If you coinflip Misty on t1 you win the game
>>56917941If you don't like playing the game just leave instead of shitting up the threads with your whining. Most of you who say the pvp sucks are just bad at the game and deck building.
>>56917923>>56917928I prefer crown just because the immersive art feels unflattering (except for the Charizard one which looks like it had a lot of effort put into it)I think in general, I like EX FAs with actual art instead of the 3D, but in practicality the only good ones so far for me have been immersive Charizard and the Machamp one
>>56917955>Rapidash>Weezing>misty
>>56917940>I only have 1 articunoyou only need one if you have misty in your opening hand
>>56917947I hope we get Crobat and Umbreon next expansion. Crobat being a hard and fast hitting son of a gun that only requires 2 dark energies to hurt and 0 retreat cost (fuck, if Starmie EX and Electrode can get 0 retreat cost, Crobat needs 0 as a fucking 3 stage).Umbreon as a bulky ass mother fucker who has a trapping effect or something.
>>56917947I have finished a sketch of a thick weezing girl yesterday but can't finish it today because I've got to study for a test and tomorrow I've got a birthday party after said test. I also have done a dragonite
>>56917964Don't want to do that.
>>56917961>I prefer crown just because the immersive art feels unflattering (except for the Charizard one which looks like it had a lot of effort put into it)Yeah, that's why I don't like the immersives. The Mewtwo looks bad. Pikachu looks okay, but I'd rather have the sparkly EX Pikachu or the Crown because the Pikachu is more prominent and I think looks cooler. I like the sparkly EXs most of all, but you are right, Charizard is the best immersive of the bunch.
>>56917675Oh, really? Do I look like I own Kangaskhan right now? Your hit on the Wonder Pick, it didn't work, my friend, and now you have my stamina recharging slowly 24 hours a day. How exactly is that supposed to help me get Kangaskhan?
The big advantage of going first is you get first evolution, which is big depending on the deck. I open weezing and im really happy to go first, or egg boi, rapidash + Blaine threat as stage 1s with a one energy attack. Or you get to stage 2 first if you get lucky and curve out, greninja, victrebel, pidgeotto with good abilities and a 2 energy attack or less, kabutops, bee drillGet gud shitters
>>56917961>the Machamp oneDoes Macahmp have an immersive? I thought it just has the "stylistic" one like the Alakazam. Is that considered "immersive"? I don't recall it playing a movie when I opened it.
>>56917962>RapidashIts shit since youre damaging ponyta beforehand>Weezing Good enough>MistyShes broken no matter what turn.
>>56917969My dick awaits. Godspeed, Anon. Best of luck on your test, and enjoy the birthday party.
>>56917957If you coinflip misty on turn 2 you also win the game.
>>56917955For this reason, unless they alter the way going first works, I think the true meta deck (discovered via rigorous testing via millions of simulated battles) would be a deck that doesn't mind going first. I think both Pika and Mewtwo dislike going first.
>>56917891>bragging about a single win>in a game where all decks routinely brick>in random matchmaking>while having type advantageWell that’s a bit sad.
>>56917991I cant think of a single deck that likes going first other than rapidash or Starmie/ArticunoAnd thats only if they shitluck Misty
>>56917917I did Lilligant/Vileplume which was great when it worked but it lacked consistency. It was basically like your Wigglytuff but worked better with Lilligant. Butterfree is great but I couldn't fit anything more into the deck.
>>569179652 dark energy Crobat is an interesting way to balance it away from Zubat/Golbat lines which are made to fit in every deck as colorless dark damage.But maybe based off this card? Make it take 3 points if it kills an EX and 2 if it kills a regular mon. Restrict it to 3 dark instead of colorless. Thoughts?
>>56917891>>56917992Why did this guy concede? Did he just get fed up with all the Sleep rolls? Sandslash is dead, and Onix is dead before he ever gets online.
>>56917965>Crobat and UmbreonMy brother from another mother. Crobat EX please. Also more mons like Murkrow, Misdreavous, Sneasel, Houndoom and Ariados would be welcome in dark decks.TYRANITAR EX
>>56917993I would love to run Raichu, if I had one...
>>56917991the only decks that don't mind going first are single energy stage 1s like exeggutor and blaine since they're at full offensive power with a single energy.
>>56917965>>56918002If you guys like Crobat and Umbreon, I would take this time to shill Pokemon Elite Emerald Redux. Umbreon is a fucking monster in that game, and Crobat has a really good Mega form.
>>56917918It's a game, why not play it?
>>56917970you don't need to. you would just have articuno as a back up attacker and use starmie as the main one since it has zero retreat costs.
>>56917993DRAGONITE BROS WE ARE IN A TIER OF OUR OWN, WE ARE INCOMPARABLE
>>56917958You're on 4chan, no wait, you're on a forum in general, and you're seriously offended you're seeing things you don't consider nice? Get a grip and get used to it or you're going to pop a blood vessel. People have no reason to listen to you about 'going away', it's a free access game. But newsflash, if there were nothing to enjoy then the complainers wouldn't still have accounts to be having such a conversation to begin with. Get some perspective.
>>56917999Checked, I like it, EX must be punished.
>Hitmonchan is bad in games and bad in TCG I just want my nigga to be good SOMEWHERE, ive liked him since i was a kid and hes shit to mediocre every single time.
At this point I just look at the wonderpicks with the most trash cards I don't have yet, because I've lost hope of ever getting a decent card. It boggles my mind when you guys talk about getting good cards out of this mechanic.
This game has potential, it just needs more formats. Only being able to play 1 way is gonna get boring.
100 packs opened1 immersive 0 SARs0 URs7 unique exes11 unique ARs0 fucking Arcanines of any kind
>>56918029hitmonchan was good during base set. play the gameboy color tcg game and make a haymaker deck to sweep all the clubs
>>56917972Yeah you echoed my exact thoughts on them.>>56917979It's not an immersive. It's stylistic like you said. But the contrast with Alakazam is that Machamp is an EX while having such a stylized FA. Notice most EX cards have the 3D rendering instead of 2D art.
>>56918031>unironic internet tough guy>seething at the mere mention of the best romhacks (which are better than base pokemon games) that turns his favorite pokemon into god tier destroyersYou couldn't even kill yourself if you tried.
>>56918009I love romhacks, I'm going to try this out over the weekend. Thanks for the rec, anon.
>>56918038it was only good because people didn't know how to deckbuild. When people played that old format several years ago haymaker was stomped by stall deck.
>>56917941Post decklist and wins pussy if you think your retarded opinions should matter
>>56918039>Notice most EX cards have the 3D rendering instead of 2D art.Oh shit, you're right. I didn't notice that. Neat.
>>56918019NTA but like you said, this is 4chan, people are allowed to tell you you're an annoying cunt that whines more than they actually talk
Alt art cards have cracked artstyles, they all look super sick
>>56918062I want this gengar so fuckin' bad bros, he's gonna be such a beast (unironically) when more trainers come out and especially when they start to powercreep trainersI'll admit to having 3 of the regular art, but this art is what fucks
I'm trying to finish pulling stuff for my pika ex + zapdos ex so I'm opening pikachu packsShould I use wonderpick to try and get the sabrina and giovanni I want? Since they come from other packs.
>>56918044>unironic>internet tough guy>seething>god tier>kysAre you an AI built on youtube comments?
>>56918068>Should I use wonderpick to try and get the sabrina and giovanni I want?Probably better to buy them with pack points since they're "only" 70. Try to wonder pick EXs or rares (150 cost) that you need to complete a deck.
>>56917923I noticed some of the AA EX Cards look kind of shit. A shame because you'd want to show off your good luck with good looking cards.
>>56918068I opened 4 pikapacks when i first started the game because lmaopikachu and i opened 2 zapdosEX and i haven't opened as single pikachu pack since, there's not a single good card in there and the couple of cards that I did need (misty) i just straight up bought with pack points. I would recommend opening zard/m2 packs and trying to wonderpick what you need out of the pikachu packs
>>56918048that doesn't mean its bad. an aggressive deck is going to have trouble with stall in any format.
>>56917857I like playing strategic TCGs.I don't like watching animations or hitting next until the result is finalized when the game is already over.
>>56918062I got 2 of these niggas too bad his deck sucks
>>5691805045 wins exactly between Pikachu and Koga because that's the minimum that you're actually incentivized for playing PVP atm, I don't know where you're going with this since I can win and still recognize the game balance sucks>>56918059>that whines more than they actually talkYou have no clue how much I actually talk since we're anonymous, I make several posts that fly under your radar because they don't trigger you, you reiterate this is 4chan without even realizing what that means
>>56917841I think they should allow energy on turn 1 that goes away when you use it for an attack. Thoughts?
>>56918070I accept your whimpering concession.
>>56918086NTA but I'm gonna try to make him work until next set hits.
>>56917992>>56918001Pika players can't function unless they can click attack and win. Any sort of balance and they concede.
>>56918091>>56917841Pokemon is for collectingMTG is for playing
Do we know if the Lapras event stamina items will carry over?
>>56917841>>56918091In MtG, if you go first, you don't draw a card but you can still play what you have. If they didn't do something similar, I would have to believe it's on purpose as a sort of "balancing" measure the same way Sakurai added "tripping" to Brawl out of spite that people were playing Melee competitively.
>>56918098no one plays mtg.
>>56917955The solution is so obvious:>Turn 1>No supporter>No attack allowed>Optional no draw depending on mirror match win rates observed in testing.
>>56918103Unlikely.
>>56918098They host literal official international tournaments
>>56918110with $50k prizes for worlds
>>56918097>this opinionStay mad, retard anon. It’s the most difficult meta deck to run because it’s not as simple as “build win con -> win”. I’m cool with you seething. I only wish that you knew the correct reasons for your butthurt.
>greninja is actually greatI never would have tried it until some one memed it was an actual ninja deck.Harassing pikas on the bench is fun
>>56917918I consneed if it's very simple to win from this gamestate.If my opponent has to do something somewhat tricky, then I'll make him do it.The secret to knowing when to concede is trying to max your win percentage firstly and then time secondly.
Let's have a fun activity while in times of nothing to do. Post your stats:>Booster Packs opened: 109>Wonder Picks: 99>Cards Owned: 653>Diamond Cards 173/226>Star Cards: 16>Still looking for: Full Art Eevee, Immersive Mewtwo EX
>>56918110Not for the simplified pocket version
>>56918092>I accept your concession.Another catchphrase? There is a thread for your kind where you can spam the same phrases >>56913665
>>56918122>purposely omitted "whimpering" due to how close to home it hitheh
>>56918119You're saying you tried 109 times, that you deserved the Eevee every time, and you never got it?I'm not sure, seems like there's a reason for your failure.
>>56918116>most difficult meta deck>click attack turn 3>winThat explains the winrate. Keep crying to losing to my throwaway brew.
>has played meta decks only>barely likes playing and can only do so when incentivized by jew rewards>cries and shits and seethes about balance and the gameYou crybaby nerds are the reason meta players get a bad rep because you think you're special for winning a few games drooling on your phone, disgusting retard kys
>>56918126>lacks pattern recognitionlmao
>>56918131pls no bully
>>56918119I have 2 full art eevee but I prefer the normal one so when we get trading I'll get back to you
>>56917650Both.
OK pika people,It seems like from my perspective raichu is the way to go. What pika list are you playing and why?
>>56918152this take is actually very funny. nta and you're wrong, but still very funny
>>56918144Full art eevee is only in Pika packs.
>>56918154NTA but he's right
>>56918157Of course I know that, I even just did a 10 roll today and got two new full arts, but no Eevee.
>>56917975It's on you if you checked it on a two stamina pick. I guess I got lucky with both my one stamina picks.
>>56918152>when it's been 1.5 seconds since the last tournament result and the metafag has to think for himself
>>56918135>implying pika can swing before turn 4/5>implying pika will swing on turn 4/5 >implying pika will start swinging at 90A whole lot of assumptions on your end because you haven’t run the deck. Sure, you *can* lose to pika early, assuming it actually goes online by turn 4/5. If it doesn’t, that 120hp and 90 damage cap looks worse with each passing turn. I’m not saying it’s big-brain gameplay. It’s just more complicated than the average deck, especially decks like zard and mewtwo.
If any of you JUST scooped when I got Garde out, you're smarter than most people.
>>56918152>ez (you) Hey I didn't start the shit flinging, I'm just making fun of the tourist who thinks 4chan is his special safe space he can speak his retarded mind in without getting called out, it's not my fault you're dumb enough to give me ammo to make fun of you because you think you needed to prove yourself to a stranger who won't even remember youHow retarded?
>>569181072 energy mons like Sandlash suddenly become OP
>>56918163this take is not as funny, some more elbow grease next time please
>>56918153Still testing pic related. I think I like it better than the zebstrika variant I was running. The only matchup I can see myself missing zebstrika in is the mirror match.
>>56917754Is this worth rolling on?
>>56918164i'd be interesting in why you think that pika is harder to pilot than zard or mewtwo. I'd also be interested in IF you think that pika is THE HARDEST deck to pilot (not that thats a huge milestone, this is pokeman pocket tcg afterall)
>>56918153the one with raichu in it.Seriously dude it's a 20 card deck and you already know what 15 of them are, figure it out.
>>56918176You already have every card there. I'm assuming you're missing a 2nd Exeggutor and 2nd Moltres. Do you want to run either one of these decks? If so, sure. If you don't want to run either one of those decks, just save, especially if there are other cards that you do still want for decks that you do want to run.
>>56918176i vote top right or middle
Every fucking game is turn one Misty and/or Starmie and the gsmes that aren't are Mewtwo with turbo GardeI don't even care if I win or lose, it's just so fucking boring.
>>5691811911867704a lot28looking for pika ex and raichu
>>56918191careful you might upset the shill
>>56918191Yup only time matches are fun is with zero EX cards. Hope they release a new mode with that rule in the future
>>56917811>weezing sucking in surrounding oxygen before laughing
>>56918030I've gotten most of the Exs I want. Going to start using my wonder stamina on cards I'm missing or exs I don't have. I really want Articuno regular and maybe some mewtwo/charizard ex. Oh and Venasaur ex.
>>56918164>implying pika can swing before turn 4/5>implying pika will swing on turn 4/5 >implying pika will start swinging at 90If you don't know how to play the deck you shouldn't talk about it.
>>569181199546552159/22610Still looking for: Sexy Sabrina or Misty
>>56918182>no youAs creative as your thoughts and your deck building metafagI accept your concession
>>56918191>mewtwo>articuno>mewtwo>pikachu>articuno>something interesting but you brick and they kill your single basic and the games over>mewtwo>weezing>pikachu
>>56918191>tfw thwarted turbovoir with a well timed red card and then wiped out a helpless kirlia and mewtwo ex with alakazam
>>56918176if you don't have pairs of either ex, for surebottom right
>>56918119>155 wins>323 points>Venusaur/Weezing
>>56918068I would use wonder picks to also go for pika ex and zapdos. That way you cut down how many packs you need. Plus crafting supports is probably cheaper unless you see them in wonder picks with other good cards you wouldn't mind wasting stamina on.
>>56918219That's not even a "no you", you're literally just throwing terms you hear out now randomly like some malfunctioning AI
>>56918191Just gotta wait for the next expansion.Any month now.
>>56917783Have you tried touching grass (type Pokémon)?
>>56918178In my experience, pika has to be a little more flexible than zard or mewtwo when things aren’t going perfectly. If pika goes second and happens to open with perfect conditions, everything is easy. If not? The deck has to juggle a lot of the same tools that zard / mewtwo have (Sabrina, x speed, etc.) to stall and spread damage, all while having a backup plan to avoid losing to whatever big win condition the other deck has built or is building. You don’t just sit there and play the cards in your hand while building towards the inevitable. You’re often on the backfoot and have to know how to maximize everything at your disposal (hand, field, deck) + your opponent’s likely options. I can’t overstate how bad 120hp with a 90 damage cap is after those first two (potential) attacking turns.Granted, this is my opinion as a pika player who rarely scoops. The fact that the deck can make it back from the brink in this game is testament to how strong it is. I think mewtwo is just about as good of a deck. Pika’s full potential is in flexibility.
>>56918153You're missing the point of the first post, my dude.>doesn't bother trying the deck>wants other people to just give them their experiences so he can skip to the finalized productI'll say it again, redditor.Try the deck for yourself.Throw whatever shit you want into the deck and find out what works.Try thinking for once.What felt good and what didn't?What slowed you down? Are there any alternatives that are faster/cheaper/stronger?What are the trade-offs?Figure this shit out instead of asking for strangers to spoonfeed you.Holy shit, how do you even enjoy the game if you don't want to play it?Are you honestly telling me that pro-players never try their own shit out and just wait for a bunch of nerds on /vp/ to theorycraft for them, Mr. "Professional TCG Cicle"?There, I even put breaks in between each sentence to help with your reading comprehension.
>>56918237You seem very cranky today. Go masturbate or eat or sit outside or do something for like 30 minutes and then come back to the internet. Did you lose too many coinflips today? Doesn't matter, rhetorical question. U mad.

misty kyogre when?
>>56918253>and then come back to the internetSays the guy unironically resorting to trollolol posts
>>56918178>i'd be interesting in why you think that pika is harder to pilot than zard or mewtwo.I'm not that guy, but Pika is definitely harder to pilot that Mewtwo. I play both. In Mewtwo, the correct play is just to always stack energy on Mewtwo. That's always the correct play. Put your energy on Mewtwo. That's what you do. Whatever your opponent is doing doesn't really matter, because the correct play is always to put an energy on Mewtwo and to prevent the Mewtwo from being killed. If you can get a Gardevoir online you just win right there.Pikachu, you have to actually look at what the opponent is doing and think about what they might do in the future, and you pretty much auto lose by turn 4 or 5 if you haven't killed by then.
>>56918116I'd say m2 is harder to play than pika tbqh.
>>56918178I have the Pikachu ex deck, I don't think its the hardest but it seems more complicated than my moltres decks which seem to function pretty similar to mewtwo decks. My koga decks seem to be most complicated to pilot.
>>56918252Love this pasta DESU. When I asked the same question we had the original posting.
>>56918259>310 hp>WWWWW: 180 and heal 20They'll for sure do something retarded like this and people will turn one misty into concede even harder
>>56918170Sandlash isn't worse than Exeggutor ex who already exists as a single-energy stage 1.
>>56917993Why is arcanine better than charizard? Is it the setup Time?
>>56918191play some vpnx
>>56918290Yeah. it's fast enough that pikachu doesn't rape it before it can start fighting back.
>>56918290yes, and it still one-shots pikanogs
Can you guys start pulling good cards? My Wonder Pick options have been horrible.
>>56918290Yes, obviously anon.Stage 2 is too suceptable to red card and Sabrina. Only big thing you need to kill is m2.
>>569182903 energy vs. 4Stage 1 vs Stage 2Doesn't burn through energies120 KOs Pikachu.
>>56918290The set up time, the fact Arcanine is a stage 1 instead of 2 and the fact that 120 damage is often good enough.
>>56918250>>56918266thank you for the insight, I have a zapdos no pika deck while playing pika just doesn't interest me. so it's neat to hear about how it runs, and i'll admit that it just seems easy to pilot because of a turn 1 EX jammed with basics, but what you're both saying makes sense>>56918279I'd also be interested in hearing how koga decks run, i don't really open pika packs past my pair of zapdos, but i have pretty bad luck with opening dark types i guess so i just haven't had the fuel to run a koga deck but i do have interest. Whats it like?i play main dragonite and I think it's fun to play/hard to pilot for the same reasons that i'm hearing from you pika players, plus energy difficulties. but not knowing if you're going to have the correct energy adds to the fun for me
>>56918297>Can you guys start pulling good cardsis this good enough for you?
>>56917993>Weezing is the gatekeeper to the higher tiersYou have to pass the weez test if you want to play with the big boys
Why the fuck can I not sort by dex number
>>56918313Yes, I need a Starmie. FC?
Firefags, why do you never attach energy to Moltres? I would have lost so many time if you would just attack with Moltres and then sack it.
>Wonder Pick with 2 or 3 cards I don't own yet>every single time I pull a repeatThis is getting on my nerves, forget the Mewtwo EX, you could have at least given me the Tynamo.
>>56918317You can't even sort by basic things like HP and you're asking to sort by Pokedex data?
>open lapras event booster>it's another pikachu
Guys were talking about Gengar in the last thread, I've been playing this for a little while.
>>56918308>Whats it like?suggest a YouTube channel name and I'm upload some weezing battles for you.
>>56918317>>56918328watch out, the local shill is going to have an aneurysm if you keep talking about how underbaked this game is
>>56918287The Sandslashes and Golducks of this world are a guaranteed kill on the opponent's unevolved pokemon. Egg is a coin flip.

>>56918339BrapEnjoyer
>>56918266This is a good way of expanding on what I was trying to say. Perhaps I could have saved some time by pointing out the difference in how many mon these top decks use and how that affects gameplay. It’s not that hard to see your way forward (if it exists) when running only mewtwo + ralts. Same for moltres + charmander. And when you get your big attacker built, you have almost ensured victory. Pika is forced to run more cards by the very thing that makes it good, and the tradeoff for that potential early game sweep is having to know how to play the game with those extra cards. Given lightning’s struggle to put up damage numbers over 90, it’s not always easy to find a late game victory. It’s certainly not as easy as one-shotting whatever is on the opponent’s board at that point, especially when your own attackers are likely to be one-shot in return.
>>56918290Pikachu killer. Struggles against Mewtwo.
>>56918339weezaling-chan
>>56918341I'm a shill but I also want the game to be better. I just don't agree with the "game is dead/boring" crowd which is usually the "pokemon was never good" crowd. I hope they burn.
>>56918119>102>111>642>182>19Looking for: Pika ex, Starmie ex, Eggy ex, Kirlia, Greninja
>>56918339WoodenDeckBoxes
>>56918308>it just seems easy to pilot because of a turn 1 EX jammed with basicsYou’re fine. Throwing together a basic pika deck isn’t hard, and some games are free. But I’d guess that somewhere between 40-50% of the time, you aren’t swinging for 90 on turn 4 or 5, and that’s where bad / new players crumple. I don’t expect sympathy for running one of the best decks in the game kek. I just get tired of seeing people handwave the skill required to get the higher win ratios the deck is capable of.
>>56918334>Pikachu with an empty benchLiterally never happens>Mewtwo with Gardevoir Half the time Mewtwo is getting fucked while Ralts and Kirlia watch, Gardevoir nowhere to be seen.
>>56918253Oh wow just saw, funny you accuse me of being the mad one when you're so angry you report my posts, that's the definitive concession right there
>>56918360>which is usually the "pokemon was never good" crowdThat's in your head, wouldn't have installed the game in the first place if that were the case
>>56918333>draws 2 gastly and 2 gengar with Haunter being the last 2 cards in the deckDecks that rely on 3rd evolutions like this and Vensaur are objectively dogshit At least Dragonite by himself is a win-conGetting to Gengar and not being able to win is pathetic
>>56918366jejWe 2004 smogon now
>>56918373>Literally never happensI’ve had it once with my deck. Really bad luck, but it was pretty funny. Something more accurate would be a limp, 60 damage swing on turn 5.>mewtwoMaybe you’re just lucky/unlucky, but mewtwo seems fairly consistent to me. Only running two unique basics does a lot for that.
>almost got mating pressed by a guy setting up Dragonite with a double Chansey wall>both Misty's gave me tails>able to win somehow despite having to manually setup an Articuno EX, a Starmie EX, and 2 Lapras while he Sabrina'd and Red Carded me twice each.>I sent him a thanks and a friend request, he accepted If he didn't get a blueballed by his energy repeatedly giving him Water energies, I would've lost that. That truly was a good game. Who here plays Dragonite? Should I take the Dragonitepill?
>>56918373That's why you should run 1-2 meatshield before sending Mewtwo. Most players just send him right off the bat to get chip damaged and killed. If you don't have a Kirlia or Gardevoir in hair it may even be better to stall using them.
>>56918393And no way to tutor for the evolutions. You'll see Ralts and Mewtwo every game but Gardevoir and Kirlia can hang out at the bottom of the deck and there's nothing you can do about. Pikachu can only brick if your one of the idiots running Pikachu and Zapdos only.
>>56918382its not meant to be a highly competitive deck, there isnt even a ranked mode.
Ladies and getlemen, we got herI can finally stop opening this shit charizard pack
>>56918373>Literally never happensIt's rare but it happens.
>>56918410this is why i run pokedex
>>56918366>>56918383I don't get it
>>56918406Would Khan be a good Meatshield for Mew2?
>>56918410>Pikachu can only brick if your one of the idiots running Pikachu and Zapdos only.Grass is always greener, anon. I assure you the deck has several ways to brick.
>>56918421It can be if you play it right
>have 2x arcanine 1x moltres>Ok lets do this anyway>immidiately rek all pikaniggersFeels good man
>>56918410>Pikachu can only brick if your one of the idiots running Pikachu and Zapdos only.Post your copy of the deck. I highly doubt you own a copy of the deck.
>>56918403i run 2 kanga instead of chansey, 1 giovanni just to hit the 70HP basics with kanga. one Xspeed in case opp is sniping my bench and i need to switch out kanga, which almost never happens, but if it happens and you have to wait a couple turns to switch out kanga you're screwed. I think its the most fun deck to play because you have to juggle energy with offense/defense, if you can build it with relative ease i would highly suggest italso whats the website everyone is using to share their decks and can we put it in the OPx2 dratinix2 dragonairx2 dragonitex2 kangax2 potionx2 pokeballx2 redcardx1 xspeedx2 prof oakx2 sabrinax1 giovanni

>>56918410Wally's Training will be in the gen 3 set.
>>56918328>You can't even sort by basic things like HPnigga what that's literally an option you can do, same as attack dmg
>>56918474h o wow
>>56918434The great Khan is always troublesome to use because of the retreat cost. It's damage is unreliable so the opponent could use the opportunity to set-up while you're 0 damage or have to waste energy on retreating.Depending on available space in the deck a Clefable could work.

So these other pormo cards will come later right?am i missing any of the current ones?
>>56918523009 is a full art pikachu that you can buy in the shop
>>56918523I opened like 10 of these, and 5 were pikachus.
>>56918532what the fuck, thanks for the heads up, is it gonna need pack points?
>>56918536premium pass
>>56918536It needs paypig pass points.
>>56918523The only one you're missing right now is full art Pikachu available to premium players. December premium missions will award a promo full art Mewtwo, the regular one. Venusaur event starts two weeks from now and will award five cards, but the only new ones will be Jigglypuff and Haunter - Venusaur, Onix and Greninja are the same cards as in the main set, but with new art. A new wonder pick event starts in mid-December and you'll be able to get Magnemite and Bulbasaur from lucky picks and bonus picks. It's not announced yet, but there's going to be a similar Magikarp/Gyarados event later on, probably to coincide with the second main set. I'm guessing it's going to be a Red Gyarados and the new set will be Gen 2 focused.
>>56918544>>56918543>>56918536just get a free two week pass and ditch it on the 13th day, i'm surprised you haven't done it already
>>56918552i was gonna save my 2 weeks for when a really good pack came outman
>>56918556Same. I'm thinking of it as the marshmallow experiment right now. I'll hold off until later - everyone and their mothers did the freemium as soon as they started. The next expansion will inherently be more rare and possibly sought after because those who decide not to renew will have a dry spell. We may see some cool new deck compositions and actual variety, but it may require a lot of the newer cards to enable.Worse that can happen is the next set isn't as good, and you're not missing much anyway unless they time lock card packs from appearing again. If they do, most of us already have multiple decks created from just free play. I may be missing one or two key mons, but for the most part I have enough cards for multiple compositions if I substitute out some filler mons here and there.
>>56918588cope
>>56918593Cope with what? I have most of the cards I want already.
>>56917784>Dragonite>32 wins>95 pointshelp

Is it worth chasing 5 copies of Charizard for the icon or do you think they'll make another kind of Charizard icon that'd be easier to get?
ATTENTIONJust so you know, this game is sneaky as fuck. Once you run out of WP hourglasses and WP it WILL give you a god pack in WP to encourage you to go paypig. I'm 100% convinced.
>>56918633Its purely cosmetic so you have to decide for yourself lol
>>56918633You'll start seeing many more Charizard icons starting next week when the Fire Mass Outbreak event starts and you'll be able to get them from lucky picks.

Is there ANYTHING to protect or prevent fuckin Charizard 200'ing. Anything in this game to reduce damage? Anything with 210hp?

>>56918652Aerodactyl
I think pocket has a flawed game design The point in gacha is to give you just enough to where you stay playing every day but not enough where you can get all the best stuff easily.This goddamn games runs out of resources so fucking fast and the free 2 packs timer is fucked up. Should be 2 packs on the start of a new day at once. The pack hourglass timer should work for packs like the wp does with wonder pick where it doesnt mess with your free picks. Waiting 24 hours for 2 packs and you get fucking bruxish and some other shit dupe makes me fucking rage quit playing. How can you actually open up 100 packs of mewtwo and still not have at least 1 of every basic card, not even rare basic just a common. Doesn't make any sense that koffing, ralts, and grimer for me are my white whale
>>56918682>like the wp does with wonder pick where it doesnt mess with your free picksbro thinks that event pick was anything but an exception
>>56918682Yeah I strongly strongly dislike that the 2 packs are on opposite sides of the day, it's like the game can't decide if it wants my attention or for me to take it easy, especially with that WP event that refreshed like every hour, very bipolar game development
>>56918663What supports you gave up to squeeze in Aero?
>>56918671>you're toastDo you think you're fucking funny?
>>56918727Jynx and a second Sabrina, I’m using Red Card though so you can also drop that if you want. I crafted Aero but if you have him the deck is a lot more fun/dynamic because he’s the perfect pivot and failsafe
Why are there no trap cards in this game
>>56918682>The point in gacha is to give you just enough to where you stay playing every day but not enough where you can get all the best stuff easily.Most of us have most of the exs already and it's only been out a couple weeks. stop your whining.

>>56918758in the real card game there was a handtrap one time. It was immediatly banned.
>>56918786I thought there was another time pokemon experimented with trap cards but I could wrong. trap cards don't really work with how pokemon plays. its more about planning ahead

>>56918826I'm pretty sure immersive cards are the 3-star cards you can zoom in on, anon. Only pikachu, charizard and mewtwo have em.
>>56918786They chickened out, the answer was to add more, not remove
>>56918819why didn't you reroll you fool
>>56918833Whoops, what do they call that kind of cards then? Full art?
>>56918843Rerolling is for the weak.>>56918848Idk, I call em alt arts.
Did this game make you like any pokemon more? I kinda fuck with him now. Top 30 mon at the very least for me.
>>56917784Dragonite/Pigeot
>>56918855no all the pokemon I like are in the meta right now

>>56918682>The point in gacha is to give you just enough to where you stay playing every day but not enough where you can get all the best stuff easily.It's backwards though. Everyone is running around with Pikachu and Mewtwo. The niche, fun, non-meta shit is the stuff people don't have.
>>56918855>centiskorch wasn't already one of his faves from day 1ngmiDragonite and weezing still aren't one of my favories, but now they now hold a special place in my memory for being the only ones to be there for me.(bonehead doesn't count, everyone rolling mewtwo packs got one apparently and the starting deck already has you covered)>>56918874Just added you and saw you accept. I don't see you in my wonder picks. Owari da.....
>>56918899he stressed out the marowak
>>56918406Bad advice. Fucks up your pokeballs and opening hands. Maybe just don't be bad? Your meat-shield is your first m2 in many matches. Sometimes it's really/kirlia if you draw x speed. Just stop being bad.
do I really need to see the fucking heart float gently upwards to the player icon EVERY TIME I give thankslike fuck, you can tell this UI was made by a woman when stupid shit like this is unskippable and you have me going through 3 different confirmations for everything like ARE YOU SURE ARE YOU SURE?
>>56918652You need to play red card and sabrina and stop him from getting out anon. Arcanine is way better overall for these reasons.
>>56918434the best meatshield for mewtwo is mewtwo(non-ex)
>>56918934bruh, relax, its just a heart
>>56918918As far as i know it could take a couple days for it to appear, don't know if being added recently is a factor.Wait for your wonder pics to update and hope for the best
>>56918951Nah he's also bad, but better than Khan and jinx. Just sequence your cards correctly you mongs.
In want Regi slow start to force going 2nd.1 energy 50 damage attack.3 energy 200 damage attack. Damage doubled against gods.
Should they add disenchanting? I have a lot of EX specials I'm never going to use. I keep getting dupes too
>>56918934Draw whatever conclusions you want but win or lose the game, i never send hearts, it just takes to long. Duel Links also does this ARE YOU SURE??? thing, no idea whyAnd why a heart? Shouldn't it be something like a "nice" or "good game"?Yeah, when you played misty t1 and flipped 3 heads? Loved it, perfect.
>>56918934Yeah the time it takes adds up to start to get annoying, but not just that, but swiping your card upward for the dex and other unnecessary BS
The best play in the Mewtwo deck is 100% always to put energy on Mewtwo and to try to keep it alive. If you need to sacrifice a Ralts to keep Mewtwo alive, you do it, and you put energy on Mewtwo every single turn. This is why Meowth is a dogshit card in the Mewtwo deck; he steals an energy from Mewtwo. If, at any point, you cannot put an energy on Mewtwo or Mewtwo dies, you lost the game unless you can revenge kill the very next turn.
>>56918970Before asking these kind of questions, ask yourself one thing: would this print gameFREAK more money? y/nTrading is right around the corner, don't worry about it
articuno or lapras ex?
>give my bro banging full art alt>is a completely useless shitcardthey better make Porygon2 baller in the johto expansion or i will end up on the news
>>56918671More like burnt toast
>>56918997Fugggggg you're right though.
>>56918999Both, Lapras is easier on the account and has heal but Articuno has an earlier attack and can weaken the bench, I run 4 mons 16 trainer/supporter cards
>>56918934Sending thanks, swiping cards to dex, the cards going to your binder on every pack opening, even one-carders from the event, it's pretty nauseating
>>56918967They'll probably make it like its paper counterpart, having some sort of sinergy with the other regis.
>>56919001Cards that just let you look ahead without adjusting or increasing your card advantage are so dumb
there's no way Misty is 50/50 right
>>56919027she is 100 with me if you know what I mean
>>56918999>>56919008I don't like that lapras needs 3 energy to attack and costs 3 to retreat.
>>56919038>he doesn't believe
>>56919016Its ability should let you draw a prize card each turn until one of the regis leaves the field. Make it a mini-Exodia, fuck it.
>>56919016How would an ability like that work in Pocket?

>>56919230if you have a normal venusaur yeah. If only the one venu EX then probably not.
>>56919220Is this true? I saw someone post a god pack earlier from WP
Why did they make you do the pack open animation for EVERY SINGLE promo pack when they all just have 1 card? Makes opening these packs a real pain in the ass.
>>56919265You can only get a WP god pack if it has 1 star and 2 star cards, immersives are 3 star and crown is similarly excluded
>>56919265Yes, you can get god packs in WP. Just not if you get a three-star or up. So Alt arts, EX alt arts and trainers alt arts are a possibility.
>>56919270>>56919271thanks, good to know I guess.
99% sure the trading restrictions are going to be on 3 stars and crowns.
>>56919276It's funny because it means you can only get the god pack as a WP if the person had bad luck on the god pack, since ideally you do want crown/immersive
Total pikafag death.
>>56919230You can zoom out in the binder. Butterfree works. If you have them, Beedrill or Victreebell lines are fun but not amazing or anything. Most grass decks run Lilligant though
>>56919283right! if I get any shitty ones ill post my FC
Crowns are so ugly, I can't believe they got away with reusing already bad art.
>play tentacruel+dragonite against frosmoth+dragonite>guy concedes round 2 as soon as I pass the wakeup checkI seriously hope you guys don't do this
>>56919281if I can still get my EX's that's all I care about. Whales can spend for those alt arts, I just want more decks to play with.
>>56919295They got away with launching something called Trading Card Game Pocket without Trading.But anyway, I don't mind the Charizard one or the Mewtwo one as much, but the Pikachu strikes me as blatantly unacceptable considering how close it looks to the 2 star version.
>>56919201looks like a typical mobile game ad to me
>>569192268559641239319247
So are event hourglasses going to reset when Lapras is gone? I don't need more cards, I have 2 of each, but if the hourglasses are going to die then I might as well.
Rolling:1-3: Mewtwo4-6: Charizard7-9: Pikachu0: I wait
Just started rerolling, I assume this is very good?
>>56919386Congrats, you got the god seed.
>>56919386Congrats. This is very good.
>>56919386fuck you
>>56919356I don't think the hourglasses will be gone because they're not labeled as specific to any event. The event shop tickets will be purged so spend them while you can.
>>569193862 stars pokemon cards are so ugly.
>>56919386That's your account big guy
what's the proper incantation to invoke a 2 star in my next pack
>>5691942110 roll
>>56919447no I need to save my hgs for the next expansion, only have like enough for under 2 10 rolls
>>56919421Sort your cards by recency and count how many packs since the last 2 star or higher
>Open 10 packs>get no new cards>Get no exs>Get no full arts>Get no 2nd copies of cards I need >get 2 rares that I already had 2 copies ofOk so never spend money on this game ever is what I gathered from that especially since the game won't recognize if you get impossibly bad odds and guarentee you something good next time you open 10 pack like in master duel.
trade... when...
>>56919386>double EX mewtwocongrats, you rolled a top 2 meta deck. Now you just need to craft gardevoir and you should win most of your online matches.
>>56919530You should never spend money on gacha as a rule, but especially ones like this without a pity system. Depending on how they limit trading, you might be able to just offload those extra rares to someone else for the cards you want.
>>56919530>Ok so never spend money on this game ever is what I gathered from thatI don't see why you would unless you like throwing money away, after rerolling for a max luck account to settle on, nearly all of my good stuff has been through WP instead of the packs, the odds are abysmal
>>56919530Im mad that i didn't reroll to start off the gameI rerolled 3 accoutns at the same time with mumuplayer for a few hours and got some sick shit
Is it worth crafting Triple diamonds? I pulled a full set of Marowak/Mewtwo/Articuno, but no Gardevoir/Weezing. I'm only kinda interested in Starmie ex, but I do want Greninjas.
>>56919530The game doesn't tell you that you get better things on a 10-roll, so of course it doesn't.This is a good thing though, because f2p can't get to 10-rolls very easily at all. You can't just wait 5 days for your tickets to stack.
>>56919552Yes because odds wise targeting gard herself is nearly as rare as getting an immersiveespecially for a card like gard who opens up the current meta psychic type and aswell as being a energy gen card, which helps for future psychic types
>>56919552Arguably better to craft them and WP for EXs, don’t craft Gren though because we’re getting a promo (same card alt art) in the next event in about 2 weeks.
>>56919386This can't show up in wonder picks
0457-0151-4454-2238I needs friends for wonder pick. I send requests but no one wants to be my friend. :(
>>56919534i hope soon i have 2 fucking extra immereive art pikachus
>>56919386it's shit, reroll
>>56919534>>56919585jan, probably end of jan with the big patch (mainset2)
Do people hate Dragonite decks?Been playing 10+ games and still haven't hit my "thank you" cap today
>>56919584Sent a request.
finally got one with a daily pack
Later, virgins
>>56919386onGOD it's okay... immersives are rare but pretty common, you should defs aim for a gold if you're rerolling
>>56919593Accepted!
I still dont have Lapris EX.Also is there a way to see how many of the same card in the dex?
>>56917891>sleep deck stall fag gloating about winning against a deck where he has type advantageHope he stalled his turn timer for you. Its what I will gladly do anytime I encounter a deck as faggy as yours.
>>56919573Yes it can.
>>56919596>inhales farts>>56919386What the fuck anon>>56919285Just ran into a pikashitter. Imagine mixing your deck’s energy and putting this fat fuck first because you’re a show off retard.
>>56919591It’s probably one of the more annoying ways to lose especially if you’re running sleep
>>56919591the only times I ever lose to this crap is when my draw bricksfuck you, barney
>>56919584Sent you one too, anon.Roll for Gardevoir PLEASE I just need 1 more
Anyone know of the leaked black friday sale? Reddit said there's going to be a 30+30 for 5 dorrar, and 30% off some bundles..
>still no crown rareOk, y-you too...
>>56919602>immersives are rare but pretty commonThis literally makes no sense.>>56919618>Mewtwotard calling anyone retarded lol
>>56919626you would have died to any other fruity monster then, give me my fucking thank you you nigger
>>56919644>waaaah brainless strategy so you’re dumb!I’m sure you see the merit of a Mewtwo ex + pikachu ex + Zapdos ex deck. This is what happens to your brain on pika.
>>56919669I don't even own a copy of Pika, let alone a deck for it.
>>56919554Is this just shitposting or are these accusations true?
>>56919680All % chances of pulls have to be transparent for paid stuff. There is no hidden bonus shit or they would be asking for a lawsuit.
Uhhhhh sweetie you only play on one account, right?
>>56919591>"Thank you" capHow many can i get a day?If i get a thanks but i hit the cap do i get nothing in the mail.
>>569197165 per
>>56919115Re add me bwoMy dumbass tries to add you as friend not realising you are already on my friend list and accidentally tapped to unfriend.WHY DID THEY NOT DISABLE THE ADD FRIEND BUTTON IF YOU ARE ALREADY FRIENDS? WHY INSTEAD PUT AN UNFRIEND BUTTON FROM THE SEARCH MENU???
>Premium trial finished 2 days ago>Didn't bother to cancel cause I'am using a burner visa card with no money on it>I can still open packs Did I win?
Yeah I'm conceding on first until it's reworked
>can't beat expert reliably>only cards I've gotten so farChat am I cooked
>>56919727The reason I love playing ArtiEx. I have a solid chance at a turn 1 ko
>>56919729Forgot my image like a dumbass
>>56919735How many Lapras?
>>56919735Have you just, not been pulling?
>>56919602golds are ugly>>56919725Are you a kid? in most games when you do something like that or do a charge back they'll just suspend your account until you pay up
>>56919631>30+30what does this refer to
>>569197381, all from the promo pack are singles>>56919739Haven't been playing as much since I saw expert wins get pack drops 100% but Starmie repeatedly wrecks my shit even though I'm running all lightning
>>56919731Do people concede when the coins flip good?
>>56919745gold, cheap gold pack
>>56919541I can just tell trading is going to be a nightmare. I'm 99% sure they are going make it so you need to have 2 copies+ to trade and I'm worried they will make it so you need to spend extra copies of that card to trade so you could need 5 copies of a card minimum to trade it but the thing I'm really worried about is them not let's us trade exs at all, killing any chance of cheap deck building
>>56919716You get nothing in the mail.And I do mean that you get the nothing in there, for some ungodly reason.
ex cards are a mistakeand YOU know it to be true
>>56919746Then we can cope together. I have everyone at 4+ but only 1 lapras. We got until the day after tomorrow.
>>56919759Ex cards are yummy food for my Kingler.
>>56919751oh, eh, I don't really like the value of what gold gets you anyway, just hg but betterwish they could let you just buy a guaranteed rarity like what duel links does
>>56919759ex cards are a mistake. EX cards are amazing. M. EXs are even better.
For me. it's V-MAX
>opponent tries to stall with double snorlax to set up dragonite>charizard one hit kills them>he manages to put the dragonite together>Charizard and my two moltres tank the draco meteor like it's nothinggod it feels good to run top tier.
>>56919721Think I've added you again
>>56919765This game would be a lot better if it used Duel Links as a reference, DL gets everything right except meta balance which could be looked past since it's full of great and frequent PVE events
>>56919386EXPLODE
>>56919727I think the main issue is most stage 1 pokemon that would be good going first are just too fraillike why bother using non-ex marowak for example when the fucker isn't ever gonna swing more than once against pikachu anywaysmaybe a blanket +10hp buff to all non-ex stage 1 and 2's would help, to get more pokemon into that comfortable 110+ range where they can kinda spar with pikachu and starmie
>>56919727yall are such fucking pussies lmao, I've won from first so often I barely notice who goes first. It's a shame there's no ranked system to show you how shit you are at the game
>>56919786for real I took duel links for granted not realizing how lacking other games were in comparison, like no pretending they didn't make dumb decisions when it came to certain things but at least their baseline was extremely put together
>>56919386Add me btw, bros9443929881511924
>>56919617No, dumbass. Those mewtwos are three stars. Three stars and up is a no-go.
>>56919786The big thing that bugs me is that Duel Links really leans on the anime in using characters you get to PvE against and this gives you access to their cards randomly.Pocket could do that so easily it's not even funny. Instead you get a bunch of basic type-specific Decks, and once you've grinded them out, you have nothing. There's no reason to go back.Fuck, I wish Duel Links was coming out only now so I could hop on it day 1 and stick to it.
I could swear a got a 3 star charizard from a wp, but it was on a now deleted account and i don't think you can check where you got your cards from anyway.It's just weird
>>56919847You're so right, for a 'duel at the gate' equivalent they could just set up a gym system where you can get each gym leader's Supporter card as a random drop from them on top of some of the Pokemon they've used, would tremendously beat the bloat of the current system and the generosity would make for a far more welcoming launch
>press to claim>press ok on item received screen>load animations>slide to rip pack>load animations>slide to put card in collection>load animations>press ok on shinedust recieved>all for one dupe promosWhy are they making opening promos so obnoxious
>fighting a dark type deck>opponent loses his arbok and only has Weezing in the active slot>activates Koga >instantly loses
>>56919889In general, why is the game made to so slow with all the menu navigation? It feels like shit.
>>56919893lmao i do that when i know im going to loseas well (try to) humor me and the opponent by my own terms
>>56919898They overdid the collection side of things, all of that stuff feels ok for the first few packs where you're pulling a lot of new cards. It falls off very quickly
>>56919847>>56919867The Pokemon fanbase is populated by way more obsessives and suckers so they can get away with less generosity. Duel Links monetized stuff like Silent Magician and Tour Guide and Sky Striker and Live Twin to target the waifufags, but that was way down the line from launch. TCGP pandered to Erika (big waifu in Japan) and Gardevoir on launch which is kind of telling just how monetization-focused they are from the get-go. They know there's an audience to milk so they don't care about pacing as much.
>>56919908>overdid the collection side of thingsNTA but yeah I got that impression too, reminded me of SM where I was along for the ride in the beginning but the tedium of the constant slowdown started to wear me down
>>56919915>Hundreds of games played>Haven't seen a single person with Erika cosmeticsIs she a big waifu in Japan?
Goddamn so many nice FAs in my WP screen today but after getting burned so many times and losing so many WHGs failing to get them I'm too worn out to bother, all that failing drove me down to like under 50 left
>>56919825sent it bwo
>>56919915It's not even generosity that's the issue for me, it's that there's zero reason to actually play after you're done with whatever slop they feed you.Duel Links has you spend a lot of time grinding for cards that mostly don't even matter, but it helps the collection aspect too.Player retention is important and all that.
>>56919927Yeah, yamato nadeshiko trope (traditional modest woman with a quiet strength), they also shilled her early on in their other game Masters where she got 2 alts before other characters even got 1.
>>56919941why are there so many of you duel links dick suckers in this thread, go play that game.>no reason to keep playing after finishing missionsyou keep playing to level up and every level you get another pack. Or you could just keep playing the game for the fun of it and not because of the dopamine spike digital gifts send into your brain. you people disgust me
>>56919945well she seems really unpopular in this game. I've seen a bunch of people with gardevoir cosmetics and that pack gives you the exact amount of gold for the Erika stuff, but I've yet to see one person actually using them.
>>56919957You see this is why Gamefreak and DeNA get away with everything
>>56919981No, gamefreak gets away with everything because some people have nostalgia brainrot and need to buy everything pokemon. I haven't paid money for anything pokemon related in over a decade and I sure as shit am not going to spend money on this game. Even if it's very limited, why pull gacha when they're adding trading?
>>56919957it's pretty funny seeing all the gacha brains complaining that they can't no life it
>>56919941I just say generosity because usually it takes a free card repository part of the game to allow for more to play in a rewarding way. Instead of being generous they lock most of the launch cards to the packs as something to gamble on getting, rather than earn through playing in your free time like what you can do in Duel Links. I know those kinds of cards don't tend to matter as much, but they would've made accomplishing the missions much better if the load could be shared between what you have to gamble on and what could be earned.>>56919957Something tells me you're Stockholmed and don't know how good other games can have it.
>>56919957I have no desire to play Duel Links because I was not there at launch.The problem is that this game is so fucking barebones in terms of content.There's no goals to works towards outside of leveling, which you can also get done by doing absolutely nothing.This leaves you with PvP, which is sweaty and obnoxious.I find it a lot of fun to build counter decks for PvE stuff too, but there's no incentive to that.
>>56919981I wonder how much they pay that shill to stake out here, surely he's not this incessant for free.
>>56919996>stockholmedI haven't played other tcg's, not even the normal pokemon tcg but i'm having fun with this. Don't care to try duel link>>56919997>pvp is sweaty and obnoxiouswhy the fuck would you play a TCG for single player? for the deep story of pokemon? kek
>>56919957Don't get your panties in such a twist just because Pocket has very little to do
>>56920007>why the fuck would you play a TCG for single player?Everything has a place and a time.If I want to do pvp, I'll do it on my own terms.>>56919993You can already no-life it, didn't you hear that you should grind levels?If there was PvE battles that drop cards, there'd obviously be limitations to how much you can do those.
>>56919997Yeah they've put very little architecture up to let you actively work toward things or have fun using what you own, nearly everything is passive or poorly devised which kills a lot of the point of a video game. I rerolled for the cards I wanted and even as a collection curator this game is boring. Staring at shiny cards loses its luster after a while, and you don't even get rewarded for using some of the harder to get ones like you would in Duel Links with how it gives bonus assessment which leads to bonus rewards.
>>56920007when did pokemon ever have a deep story?people still eat this shit up, engaging plot or notyes, people would enjoy a single player pokemon card game.matter of fact, I think the card game actually shines in a pve environment and kinda sucks to play against real people.
>>56919698Yup
>go into pocket general>all yu-gi-oh discussionlol?
>>56919997having more single player events like the lapras one would be nice. I think the content is fine for now. the game has only been publicly launched for a couple weeks. I wouldnt expect it to have hundreds of hours of content at launch. its a mobile game meant to be opened up a few times a day just to open packs. Ive personally been keeping pocket on the back burner while Ive been playing the new surging sparks set and mtg. if the coming months doesn't bring anything new then yeah I would start complaining.
>>56920007>but i'm having fun with thisIt's cool you're having fun and I have had a level of fun with this too but knowing just how much more they could've done is the frustrating part. Like, there's no rhyme or reason to think them also doing/adding XYZ is asking too much. They could have launched with a lot more, which is the point of making a comparison to a pre-existing game with a favorable system like Duel Links in the first place. Hell, it's not like I'm even asking for Genshin level effort of an open world RPG with the Pokemon TCG layered over as its battle system. If you exposed yourself to what developers can do you'd recognize just low little they did with one of the biggest IPs, which is where the disappointment comes from.
the way i see it, the usual f2p gacha audience is actually the one left out in the dirt, they don't have random shits to grind for and dopocket is purely for collectors and mobile tcg players, misty cucking you every once a while has to be the softest shit to face in a tcg, and you get to open packs every day, there are much worse mobile card games out there to play and grind
>>56920053The Lapras event is fine.I'd just wish we had, instead of (Or in addition to) the basic battles, decks themed around the 8 Gym Leaders, that could work similar to the Lapras event. (Or maybe you can do them for rewards X amount per day)Low chance of getting themed cards, including their respective Supporter card (Normal only).
>>56920064gacha addicts need help, not another grind
>>56920053That's the thing about Pocket, it has a deceptive amount of content, but ALL of it is themed around pulling. The people asking for content based on the gyms? That's a collection goal. Seeing the 3 birds? A collection goal. The content that the game launched with, that gives you the basis of what to expect from Pocket, are all tied to just opening packs and completing your collection. I honestly wonder how many people aren't going to have Mew unlocked by the time they add another pack
>>56919201el diablo...
>page 10who's baking?
>>56920082>I honestly wonder how many people aren't going to have Mew unlocked by the time they add another packNot looking good for me.
>>56920096lil do it, gimme a few min
>>56920108>>56920108>>56920108
>>56920082I'd imagine they'll just give people an easy way to get a regular, non-immersive mew down the line
>>56920064Opening packs every day to be greeted with mostly repeats is mind-numbing though and makes your day feel wasted. You know how they did unnecessary shit like make 3 separate cards that do the exact same thing (birds, Gengar, Pikachu, etc)? They could've stratified those as different rarities to summon on and put more of the useless cards like the non-EX versions as PVE rewards to create a large interactable journey to occupy your free time with. The 'much worse mobile card games' argument is kind of dumb since it's like mentioning 'but at least we're not starving children in Africa' for the umpteenth time to dismiss whatever's brought up. Like yeah there are worse games, but just because they exist doesn't mean they should be leaned toward on the scale.
>>56920100 Card games have time between sets where multiple are in play. However if you focus an older set then you're going to have a harder time on the new.Celebi will likely be rarer because of people struggling with priorities.
>>56919969It's because Erika is too fucking expensive. Most people buy the Gardevoir set and then use the gold to get a bunch of card packs. They picked a really stupid premium model there. You pay for Gardevoir, and then decide "do I also get Erika?" but you ALREADY just got Gardevoir...so you're less likely to get Erika as well since the Gardevoir skin is really good.They should have made the Erika skin like $5 max. They're asking $22 for it. That's fucking insane. I'd get it if it was a price that made sense, but they're retarded for thinking it's a worthwhile purchase. Gardevoir makes sense since it's just a separate bonus for getting the whale pack, there's no reason for Erika to be priced the same.
Has anyone tried making a Gardevior + Dragonite deck? Since dragonite can use two colorless mana it might work, and it could be more reliable than misty, or even combined with her.Then again building two 3 stage evolutions might be too risky. Might not be worth the effort next to just using mewtwo.I haven't gotten a dragonite or a gardevior yet so I can't test myself lol
>>56920042>>56920007Post your friend codes.
>>56920122>create a large interactable journey to occupy your free time withthat's what i meant when i said f2p gacha addicts were left in the dirt, nobody else cares about grinding a game out 24/7 with shit to do everywhere but you people, this game aint for you. its a card game where you're supposed to actually play people and make decks not grind shit, go play granblue if you want something to spam
>>56920159Misty only works on water types. Dragonite may require a water energy but it's typing is dragon so she doesn't work.
>>56920173>this game aint for you.The game just launched and you don't think you should have some kind of pause and reflect on the fact that you're saying that? Masters crashed after its first month and experienced a mass exodus (including the majority of its initial content creators) because the game decided by the way it was handled that it wasn't for most people either. You shouldn't want to launch a game that turns people away period.
>>56920180Ah my bad, like I said I don't got Dragonite so I haven't gotten a chance to learn this stuff yet. Honestly Gardevior seems really OP right now, even withiut mewtwo. Free energy generation every turn without the strict requirements of other cards that give it is just too good.
>>56919778It's not fair I have opened like 60 zard packs and no ex
>>56920194>it wasn't for most people>implying gacha players are most peopleyeah no, i meant what I said, card games might have been the original gachas but if you just want shit to grind there's millions of idlers and f2p gachas that'd be your speed, i much prefer not having to grind much and still be able to play fun decks online
