>>56945049You got the OP wrong again, fuckwit. It's supposed to be /ppg/
Damn, i really wanted Major Bob..
>>56945150>top right cultistdeserved
So, what is your favorite card art? It doesn't have to be pocket specific.
THERES NOTHING TO DOTHERES NOTHING TO DOTHERES NOTHING TO DO
>>56945197I'm still grinding out those 45 wins. You should have paced yourself.
>>56945189Maybe not the favorite, but this is definitely one of the funniest.
Regarding the two-week subscription trial: do I need to manually cancel it before it expires or will it automatically cancel it on its own?
>>56945223you have to manually cancel it
>>56945223if you have no dosh in your account it will cancel on it's own, if you cancel on day 1 you will still have the rewards for 2 weeks
hw many cards in the mini set
>>56945244considering it's just a 4th booster for Genetic Apex, about the same as the other 3 boosters
>>56945244Probably the same amount of exclusive cards as the other packs and shares the same amount as well
What's a good Gengar deck bros
>>56945269I think a good pair with him would be Hypno, for better control
>>56945269There really isn't one yet. Maybe once we get Rare Candy or Evosoda but right now he's too slow to get going
>>56945292>Great HP>Good damage>Amazing abilityHe's SO close to being good..
>>56945257Is there a higher res version of this?
>>56945298
>>56945302Thanks
>224 out of 226 cards >around 100 hourglasses>pulling cards in Japanese for the hell of itF2p (Gardevoir aside, sorry!) is great assuming you started in New Zealand. If you have no interest in Wonder pack stamina and don't care a ton about art variants, I don't really know why you'd bother putting too much cash into this.
I've made a shocking discovery
We win again bottom right bros
>>56945311Marina would be best girl by a long shot if he eyebrows didn't imply she was constantly being held at gunpoint. This is funny as hell.
>>56945257What decks can you make from any packs?Golduck aggro?
>>56945319It doesn’t matter where you pick, it’s just like coin flips and the booster pack wheel, it’s decided what you’ll get before you choose. Pick anywhere, it won’t change what you’ll get.
>>56945269I tried it with dactyl and it wasn't bad. ghastly is your only basic so you guarantee one, you don't need to play pokeballs and can make space for 2 red cards (which is a good card with gengar because you force your opponent to redraw all the trainer cards he couldn't use)
>>56945295Amazing ability isn't really true when you mainly want to stop people from using supporters in the first few turns, where it's very rare you've got Gengar set up.
>>56945326I see youre a glass half empty type of guy
>>56945326Do you have any proof for these claims?
>>56945326You're wrong in that it's decided before you pick. But it doesn't matter anyways.
>>56945335inb4 >they did it in the tutorial!!!
>>56945333It's still an amazing ability. Supporters will only get stronger with time. Stopping them at any point in the game is good. Gengars only fault is how long he takes to set up because, yeah, the early turns are more impactful.
>>56945333True, but it's still pretty baller to be able to not be able to get giovani'd or sabrina.A single potion guarantees you beat pika, no questions asked.And if you can manage it, you can safely build up a 2nd gengar in the back tanks to lack of Sabrina.It also denies the Erika for Venusaur, among other niche late game supports.
>>56945340The tutorial is a scripted event. That doesn't mean that every pack after is also scripted. You need real proof to backup your claims or you'll sound like a tinfoil hatter
>>56945349I know, I'm just calling out the retards that try to use that as the reason wonder pick is rigged
Coinflips are also rigged btw
>>56945355100%dubs of trvth
>>56945355wrong, you can manipulate the manual coin flips
>>56945349It sure is scripted to have a 1/5 chance to give you a specific card.
How do I make them usable?
Doing 10 rolls on M2, and Charizard boosters, wish me luck.
>>56945367I just run 2 Kings with Arbok, needing to have 2 separate 3 stages out at once just for one to be powered up is a little unreliable right now
>>56945367rare candies
>>56945049Still haven't successfully won a single goddamn wonder pick yet
>>56945367Cut the queen. She requires too much setup. Find the king a new partner, preferably a basic EX pokemon or a stage 1. Perhaps Hypno? Hypno can sleep opposing pokemon, which can let the poison damage rack up.
where's the fucking content
>>569453671x Sacrificial Meowth, 1x sacrificial Nidoran, 1x Nidoqueen Line, 2x King line, 2x oak, 2x ball, 2x potion, 2x X Speed, 1x Gio, 1x prayer. You will never beat a haymaker or Pika deck
>>56945353Everything else is scripted in this game, why wouldn’t wonder picks be as well.I’d guess that when you choose a card, what card you then receive would be handled server side, and that would just pick randomly, it wouldn’t actually shuffle the cards. It’s all an illusion bro.
>>56945388>I’d guessNice 'proof' bro.
>>56945390>>56945388it's a 1 in 5 chance either way, why are you even thinking about whether it's rolled before or after you press a card
>>56945390That is the exact moment it connects to the server to inform it that you've spent Wonder Stamina.
200 mewtwo packs opened0 fucking tentacruel0 fucking weezing0 fucking grimer 0 fucking muk0 fucking koffingHow can my cards be so disproportionate
>>56945390Well we can’t check the packets in the same way that we can for packs, but it is known that when you pick, your device doesn’t know where any of the cards are, so you’re essentially picking a spot and then the server decides what you got.Why go to the extra effort to code a shuffle when it’s unnecessary?Coins flips work the same way.
Collection thanks are riggedDon't thank any collection and you'll seldom receive themThank 2 people's collections, close the app, come back 10 mins later and you'll get 4 tickets>>56944974>There's also a gyarados/magikarp event happening on friday too that we don't know any details of (which means theres a good chance of a meaty update / datamines)pocket.codex.gg says it's just an announcement for it and not the actual event>Announcement: Mission Event (Magikarp/Gyarados)
>>56945392Because it makes the act of picking a spot pointless, meaning you don’t need to worry about it. Choose wherever because you have no impact on the outcome. If anons knew this then they’d feel less bad when they miss a rare card because they chose top right. It doesn’t matter where you pick, it makes no difference as to what card you’ll fet.
>>56945408Everyone knows that none of this matters, it's just for fun.
how do I get these? I only need one more.
>>56945389when you open a pack and this piece of shit or cottonee are the first thing you see, you know it's gonna be a garbage pack
>>56945412first, invent a time machine
>Just pulled my THIRD full-art Dragonite>Still don't have a single Dratini
>>56945416fuck, I shouldn't have traded 1 for shinedust.
>>56945418not having a 35 cost card is not something I'd call a problem
>>56945418I want a fourth FA Weezer so I can dust the extras for flairs. Not gonna do it if I can only flair one Weezer. Trading can't come soon enough.
first zapdos, now muk.from now on , I'll be a top middle believer.
>>5694542335 pack points is 7 packs. Half a week of f2p packs. Not something you want to waste on a low rarity card when you're saving for the good stuff.
What goes good with beedrillI want to make a deck with it, but I’m not getting any inspiration
>>56945437Not even half a week, 2.5 packs a day.
Bottom right wins again 2 out of 3 winsBottom right is literally 66.6% win rate today
>>56945432Top middle is the least likely spot for the card you want to be in.
>>56945438venomoth, egg
>>56945443I’m thinking of going 2 energy with it, since I only need 1 grass
>>56945438Exeggutor. Go full grass aggro.
>4 out of 6 of my battles today were my opponents conceding immediately for trans rights tickets>the other 2/6 were me conceding for trans tickets and I had a bad hand anyways. >The extra game i played was cause one conceders didnt thank me(bastard)Yet somehow this game that nobody actually wants to play will win mobile game of the year
>>56945449I hear you, but that alone theoretically fucks half of your early games, and potentially fucks your midgame too.Decks like Alakazam and Dnite can manage the multi colors, usually, since they are late game threats so the odds of being color fucked by that point are much slimmer.I would think that a dual color bee would necessitate some good early starters while you can work on building bee and making sure he actually has the grass energy you need.
>>56945467You need battles for trans tickets?I only did one game for the daily missions.
>>56945467nah, Balatro will
>>56945400I got 3 eelektross from a mewtwo ten pull today so I know the feeling.At least I finally got my Ralts playset
>>56945467No one ever concede versus me, and I am playing M2
>>56945441keep crying, top right fag
>>56945400>packsI really doubt that
>>56945088Looks right to meYou're just forcing an inefficient name
>>56945189Might not be my absolute favorite but definitely top 3I really like the original ex's. A lot of them have this menacing aura to them and the card template was simple but effective at displaying that the card was special. I pretty much hate the Lv. X style that extend into EX and the new SV ex where they are all sticking 1 arm out of the card frame and rest of the card looks like the pokemon threw up on it. I thought it was a good call to just go all the way in SM
>>56945411You shouldn't speak for everyone, there are people that definitely operate under the illusion it's their 2nd guess or initial gut reaction turned out to be true when they miss
>>56945608Retards don't qualify as being under "everyone"
>>56945197>>56945383Don't expect anything until around a year in at this rate. Masters had no regular content until a year in when they rebranded to Masters EX and added Champion Stadium as weekly refreshed content. Virtually everything before that was just events with gaps in-between like what we're seeing in Pocket now.
>>56945612Yeah they do, everyone is everyone for a reason lol
>>56945620I guess you consider your pet goldfish as part of everyone too.
>>56945627It obviously stops at everyone playing TCGPBecause like, if you're restricting it further to say only everyone that knows better about WP would know better about WP then you were never making a statement anyway
>>56945640Goldfish and retards are on the same level of not qualifying as humans is the key point here.
>>56945644Retards are factually human beings, whatever 'level/qualification' is some personal thing hidden in your desk no one else has access to, because for normal people everyone is everyone, that's how words work
>>56945617this is a pvp game though, so there's an inherent differenceall they need to do is pump out cards from time to time and things are going to be fine probably
>>56945049Fucking decide on the /ppg/ or /ptpg/ already.It fucks with my bookmarks.
>>56945657Who cares about factual definitions, sub-humans are just that, and the world would be objectively a better place if we started culling them.
>>56945682>Who cares about factual definitionsUh, non-retarded people
A bit lost.Do i lose all the stuff in the top right, if i dont buy anything in a day?
If someone did 1 wonder pick a day since launch, what's the probability of never even once picking the card you want?
>>56945714The blue ticket with the lock and diamond shapes on it, that you have 18 of? Yes, they will be deleted if unused
>>56945714jesus christ does no one know how to inspect their fucking items
>>56945716Anons can't really be this bad at math.This is simple shit..8^n where n is the number of times you have pick'd
>>56945679Should be /tcgp/ as what makes the most sense but I don't really care to make threads
>>56945738>.8^n where n is the number of times you have pick'dNERD
>>569457160 because wonder picks have a pity system where it’ll eventually give you the highest rarity card out of the 5
>>56945784>Baseless schizobabble
>>56945738really puts into perspective how much better waiting for WPs with 2 hits iswith 10 tries, if you only have 1 hit you have a 10% chance of getting jack shit, with 2 hits it's 0.6%
Bamboozled again...
I'm tempted to flair copies of staple cards like Pokeball, Research and Speed X, but I saving tranny tickets to buy next months hourglasses seems more important.
>>56945844Didnt you read bottom left gang is always right
>>56945438Venomoth. I'm not a fan of exeggutor but if you're good at flipping heads the ex egg is okay. I ru 2 moth, 2 beedrill, 1 farfetch'd, 1 aerodactyl.
>>56945189I thought most of the early CG arts were pretty lame but it worked perfectly for Porygon
>>56945844Wigglytuff at home
>>56945189
>>56945992What was the point of this card. Stalling?
>>56946023This was from the base set when they didn't really know what they were doing design wise
Why js he such a joke compared to rapidash and ninetales
What current "bad"/non-top-tier cards rn might become good or potentially game breaking in the futureMy votes go to Gengar EX, Butterfree, Venu EX, and Alakazam
>>56946069He should have 100hp.
>>56945992>>56946046I mean it still sucks but it does have a purpose of setting up a KO for your other mon, and if you don't have it ready yet + porygon didn't get hit, becoming resistant to your opponent who only has 1 color besides haymaker can let you survive a lot of the base mon attacks, and getting up to 60 isn't always easy in base set.Being weak to hitmonchan is a death sentence though for an already bad card.I wouldn't say that base set was "they didn't know what they were doing" as there were a lot of things that were given care and consideration with HP values and damage and stuff, they just had a few cards become outliers, and of course not realizing how powerful unlimited trainers were.
>>56946069Basic pokemon are supposed to be generally weaker than stage 1s, which they chose to ignore with the ex basics.80 damage also matters pretty frequently.
>>56946069Stats gimped for the eventual evolution line
>>56945049>match going about even>opponent makes a massive error and loses the following turn because of itDoes that feel like a deserved win to you? I don't feel like I can take pride in them being completely retarded. I'm not saying that I won't take the win, of course, but it's a bit of a hollow victory.
>>56946083>80 damage also matters pretty frequentlyStage 1 is not gonna be out for you to punch them
>>56946082I meant it more as they were exploring the design space and were trying shit out to see if it worked so there were both hilariously bad and overpowered cards
>>56946077if they release a double colorless energy a lot of mons will suddenly become viable
>>56946069Blaine’s Boober incoming.>>56945049>testing Wiggly meme deck>close game because I forgot to attack on turn 2>eventually win>opponent doesn’t give “thanks”I guess I’ll wait for likes to get my tickets.>>56946090Happens in every card game. You’ll lose games like that too at some point.
>>56946090As conceded as it sounds it just makes me sigh and shrug."Oh you're retarded I see, that's a shame"I want a ranked mode or smth like that so I can choose to engage in more consistent top-level play without having to rely and set a whole day aside for touneys.Mainly, I just want to play against someone who can actually play the game, surprisingly enough.
>>56945432why does your screenshot have film grain
>>56946106But how would you implement it? You cannot pick the usual energy if you play it? I don't think anyone will appreciate a literal Dark Ritual
>saving up pack points for the second Mewtwo EX>pull one just as I was considering buying goldThanks game, you're alright sometimes.
>>56946095It's just a magic number. 70+80 kills Mewtwo, 90+80 does it through a potion, 40+80 kills Pikachu, or stuff like 90+50 kills Moltres. 80's a really important number in this game. Technically Blaine means you can read it as 90+80 or 120+50 but either way it's an important number.
>>56946106DCE would actually be an incredible buff to old skortchy All you have to do is just give him your fire for turn each turn.Still hard loses to M2 though, but not the non-ex funnily enough.
Why are the higher rarity cards ugly 3d?
>>56946122replaces your energy for the turn and if you're forced to lose one you lose both
>>56946125You cannot always expect Blaine to save a mediocre card. Rapidash and Ninetales work because they dish out good damage even without Blaine. You would have better result using Farfetch'D as the fifth basic over Magmar
I have all my accounts friends with eachother for showcase tickets, do I need to be concerned?Also once I had the same wonder pick in 2 accounts (from the same mutual friend), and the resulting positions were the same after shuffling, can someone keep an eye out for it? I think I rolled a 1/120 and am schizomaxing.
Had a Surge fullart in my expired wonderpick but stupidly left it for no good reason and then it was gone a few minutes later… but i did pull a second Sabrina.
ACTUALLY nothing to dowhat the fuck man how is this allowed, why doesnt this game have at least something you can grind over and over?? do they really expect you to just do pvp battles for measely 15 exp?
>>56945726It’s a shopping bag
>>56946122Like a supporter card so you cannot spam it.
>>56946201For me it's constant pulls like this that wear me down.
>>56946220Looks like my last 5 packs, at least. Worst part is that I can’t pull several common/uncommon cards.
>>56946201>leveling up gives you hourglasses for a packWell duh, that's your infinite gaming mode
I have to assume Rhyperior is going to be very good if rhydon and rhyhorn are as bad as they are now
>>56946236>rock/ground type>good
>>56946158I saw 2 people pick my WP and the chase card was in different spots. would've been a pretty major exploit otherwise
>>56946236Wouldn’t count on it. Some cards are just bad, anon. The rhydon/rhyhorn from this set are probably always going to be bad, and if I’m not mistaken, any rhyperior that releases in the future should come with new basic / stage 1s.
>not a single one after 120 Mewtwo packsI don't think Gardevoirs are real.What's more likely to drop, 1 Zard EX or 2 Gardevoirs? I might just buy the harder one to get.
>playing against a Moltres/Charizard EX deck>opponent gets full tails in 4 of 5 times he used Inferno DanceHow is that even possible lol?
>>56946249I got both of my Gardevoir from WPs, just try on those because yeah waiting on the packs to come through is not the move
>>56946253Your opponent? That was me.
>my only two star (or above) card is "hey look at my cock and balls" exeggutor
>>56946253I get full tails regularly with that deck but I like the deck a lot so I just play solo battle instead of bothering with PVP
>>569462493-D cards hilariously have identical pull rate as a 4-D cards, so I'd suggest either spend the PP or get them off WP
ok, what now?
>>56946270Exchange for the perma 2 cost WHGs
>>56946270we wait
>>56946265EX mons might actually be more common if we add their full art versions. What's the percent on those?
genuinely wild that my biggest hope for pulling a pack at this point is having even a single new card even if it's garbge
>>56946249I think I remember someone saying that while the chance of getting an ex card is technically lower than getting a 2 or 3 diamond card, the chance of getting a specific 2 or 3 diamond card is lower than the chance of getting an ex card.
You DID get the 45 online wins badge, right?
>>56946278Seems like you are right
>>56946201>ACTUALLY nothing to doDude, wait until late next week. Or go to therapy for your obvious addiction. You're having withdrawals.
>>56946281I stopped pulling from the pack I had the most new cards left to pull from because I kept pulling repeats anyway. Now I'm just fishing from the pack that has 2 star cards I want.
>>56946220>For me it's constant pulls like this that wear me down.I've given up hope of ever getting anything good from wonder pulls. Now I'll just pull 1 cost ones when my meter is full to avoid wasting the currency.
>>56946270how do you get so many of those tranny tickets?
>>56946253>How is that even possible lol?I was using a zard/tres deck in PVP and I rolled all tails twice in a row.I conceded. In fact, I roll tails most of the time. When I roll heads, its when the effect wouldn't matter.
>>56946220This has been my last several days of packs. Meanwhile my buddies are posting their crowns, full arts, and EXs all the time. Suffering.
>>56946308>how do you get so many of those tranny tickets?Probably likes from deck displays. If you have a full friends list it increases your chances of getting likes.
Why dont nips give thanks? Cunts.
>>56946318Same. I got a Starmie EX after 12 or 14 packs of nothing but I see everyone with their double EX mons and cringe at my luck now.
>>56946318That's always how it goes. I tell myself they only show the highlights and the shit rolls they have are as bad as mine.
>>56946338Same desu. After several days last week of crap pulls, I pulled a full art Starmie EX this past Saturday. It’s cool, except that it’s my FIFTH Starmie EX. Been pulling Zard packs exclusively and STILL don’t have a Zard or Moltres EX.
Enemies.: M2, Pika, M2, M2, Shitty cards in hand. Going first and repeat. Ffs.At least let me go second since I have a shitty deck.
For people complaining about nothing to do, I rerolled other accounts on emulator to try other decks I don't have. I farmed the 45 wins with an blaine account, a mewtwo account, pikachu account and I'm on a zard account right now.
>>56946360Guess I should do that, so I can trade with myself later, since I didn't reroll on my main account.
Content tomorrow?
>>56946387Content late next week.

Dragon type seems DOAWhy they did things this way is a mystery to me
>>56946639>Dual type decks should never grant the same energy more than three turns in a row.I tried a duel energy deck early on and it gave me the same energy 6 times in a row. Since it was so early in the release, I wondered if I was doing something wrong in not getting the second energy type.
>>56946647Isn't it based on how much your deck needs those energies?Not saying that's what happened.
>>56946635You're scaring me, oni-chan... Here it is...be gentle...
>>56946518Photoshop
>>56946642There's simply not enough dragon or steel type to make any viable elite decks. Gonna have to wait for a couple of new sets before there's enough dragon or metal cards.
>>56946605too coinflippy
>>56946642How so? You can still win with Dragonite. Just because it isn't as good as Mewtwo or Pikachu doesn't mean it's DoA.
>>56946639You're a retard and you don't understand how tcgs work.
>>56946494Anon, I had a nice sleep of 9 hours, breakfast, and then checked 4chan. Please understand I can't be online 24/7
>>56946650>Isn't it based on how much your deck needs those energies?Nah. I needed the second energy type desperately and it was only giving me the first.
>>56946655Post the other 17 cards. Now.
>>56946659Aren't Dragon decks always going to be dual energy by nature?>>56946661Inconsistent since you not only have to assemble an evolution line but you have to worry about getting the appropriate energy. Dragon Pokemon that wind up not Dragon (like Baxcalibur going Water) have it better dodging that bullet.
>>56946668>you don't understand, I NEED to bring shitposts from the previous thread forward, 9 hours after they would have been relevant
>>56946660Those who live by the blade, die by the blade.>>56946676>still tryingkek, sorry, kid. Your force powers don't seem to be working right now.
>>56946621You'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.
>>56946677>Inconsistent since you not only have to assemble an evolution line but you have to worry about getting the appropriate energy.Yeah, but that doesn't mean support cards can't or wont be printed in the future, and that doesn't make it DoA. It's already kinda good, even if it's just B tier or something.
>>56946664In the actual TCG you can set the ratio yourself
>>56946689When building the deck, yes. When playing the game, no. It's random, my dude.
>>56946672No, like in general. If you had 3 Grass and 1 Fire in your deck, 75% you'd get Grass.Of course you could get unlucky and all that, but I think that's how it works?
>>56946686That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
>>56946698For me, it's>>56945197
>>56946691Yes but we can't do that in this game. There will be games where you get 100% a single color because fuck you
>>56945049
>>56946722Nice pick
>>56946288Just got it, and now there's nothing else to do.
>>56946717>There will be games where you get 100% a single colorYeah. That's called luck. It's a tcg. Luck is inherent in the game's design. Yeah, you can get even more fucked over in this because there's no 100% guarantee that you'll get the proper energy on turn 60 like in the physical tcg, but that's the nature of the game. They changed shit. The original tcg had prize cards instead of points, but I don't see you complaining about not losing 6 cards from your deck.
>>56946676There are enough points on the graph to draw a line2x Krabby+ 1x Kingler2x Goldeen+ 1x Seaking+ 1x Misty1x Helix Fossil1x Sabrina2x Professor's Research2x Poké ball2x Potion2x X Speed
>>56946664Peculiar choice of argument, considering this game went ahead and hardcoded that you open with a basic mon. We're already doing whatever the devs want
>>56946737Sounds like you prefer this energy system to the other energy system. There are people who do not.
Pic related isn't a bad (budget) deck. Actually got someone to concede the second I brought out nidoking(see, I actually post good decks to share with the community)
>>56946754I haven't come to terms with Dark or Metal being a type yet, back in the day, for some ungodly reason they made the energies for them Special Energies with extra effects, meaning you could only run 4 in a deck.What the fuck were they thinking.
>>56946749>fossils in a non-fossil decktop kek
>finish the advanced missions>get rewarded with 120 timeskips>get to do my first 10 pull>excite.jpg>nothing higher than 3 diamond...............fuck you charizardyou were supposed to be the brosen one
>>56946758At least in this game you can actually run a Dark deck and there is actual Dark support. Steel just has fucking nothing.
Special Shop Ticket is one of the stupidest things they could have put in this game good lord, I just finally paid attention to how you're supposed to get more of themWhy are they asking you to sacrifice high rarity cards for this garbage in a TRADING card gameThese devs are some kind of special stupid
>>56946765Trust in the next set.
>>56946753Preferring one over the other is like preferring ice cream over frozen yogurt. They're very similar, but still different foods. They're different takes on the same product. The physical tcg has much more randomness and a fully built game. The digital version trades complexity for a much quicker game. If you don't like it, the physical game is still available for you to play.
>>56946770>I just finally paid attention to how you're supposed to get more of themWhat??
>>56946770I assume they think that WE think that our surplus rares will be used on flair and once we run out of stuff to flair we'll be upset we can't use our dupes for anythingIt's retard logic so it tracks
>>56946758>I haven't come to terms with Dark or Metal being a type yet, back in the day, for some ungodly reason they made the energies for them Special Energies with extra effects, meaning you could only run 4 in a deck.yeah, just trying this deck out a little bit, poison doesn't seem like it's THAT useful, especially with the fact that the second you put a poisoned mon on the bench, it loses the effect.And the retreat costs are too high to switch out nidoking to lock your opponent in place with arbok for one turn.Now if poison stayed regardless of being on the bench...Though I admit I'm using Arbok because I don't have enough Muk's or Weezings. God, I can't pull darks to save my life. Just one more muk or weezing (especially weezing) and this deck would be much better.
>>56946778>the physical game is still available for you to playor the digital version of the same mechanics the physical version uses
>>56946778>the physical game is still available for you to play.ahhh yes, the cost. the smell. the P2W dads trying to buy their child's love.what's not to like?
>>56946788nidoking would be dozens of times more viable if koga also worked on it
>>56946789Yeah, go ahead and keep wishing for something that will literally never happen. They made Pocket different for a reason. Stop being retarded.
>>56946801the fuck is this idiot saying
>>56946800>nidoking would be dozens of times more viable if koga also worked on itI think it takes to long to build up nidoking though. 3 turns 3 energy. lose all that just to avoid the opponent getting a point? hmmm... now if there was a way to get that dark energy on it quicker or evolve it quicker...
>>56946798The physical game isn't even that bad (when it comes to cost) as far as tcgs go. Magic is far worse across the board. Standard decks are insane because you have to buy a playset (4) of a $40+ card three times over for some decks, and unlimited is far fucking worse. Then again, the last time I looked at physical pokemon cards was pre-covid and I know that youtubers fucked it up for everyone, so I could be wrong.
>>56946639this happened to me this morning retard-kun
Mewtwo ex + gardevoir is quite fun. Only gripe is that I wish the 2 energy attack did more than just 50, which can't even one shot most stage 1s. 60 would be so much better, I could use a Giovanni on top if I really needed to.
>>56946810>the fuck is this idiot saying>or the digital version of the same mechanics the physical version usesDude, I'm still not sure what the fuck you were trying to say to begin with. I interpreted your retarded scribblings as best I could.
>>56946819>Mewtwo ex + gardevoir is quite fun.it should be. it's top 2 deck in the game right now.
>>56946785Other than the ridiculous 300 shop ticket cost, you get them by converting FAs. But get this, you're expected to convert tiptop FAs to get anywhere. It costs 7 for the backdrop and cover, 12 for the coin and sleeve, and 26 for the playmat. Converting a 1 star (you're likeliest to turn into flair) only gets you 1. Converting a 2 star gets you 5. Converting a 3 star/immersive gets you 12. Converting a crown rare gets you 64. But you'd have to be a moron (or a giga whale) to have so many of the 2 star or higher that you'd want to convert them to flair instead of save them for trade fodder. It's completely unreasonable they spent time on this extraneous nonsense.>>56946786It's like they forget this is supposed to be a game about trading, so dumb.
>>56946817>water pikachuYou better not have lost that fucking match, Anon.
>>56946811it shouldn't be your setup mon regardless. put in a shield with a lower retreat cost if you draw it in your opening hand. until we get more sets for better engines stuff like that is necessary. stalling is actually viable for now while the power creep hasn't made everything speed up yet
>>56946288Yes. Now I’m running meme decks in beginner matchmaking.
>>56946819>Only gripe is that I wish the 2 energy attack did more than just 50,Buffing the small attack would make Mewtwo insanely strong. His first attack is supposed to be weak to compensate for how strong the big attack is. If they were both beefy, Mewtwo would be broken. Compare his second attack something like Articuno Ex. Art needs 3 energies for 80 damage and a little bit of splash. Mewtwo only needs one more energy to do nearly double. That math doesn't quite add up. >inb4 but the 150 burns two energiesYeah, that's why they put Gardevoir in the game. If she didn't exist, sure, I'm with you. Let's buff him.
>>56946778>food analogy>completely inaccuratesausage
>>56946824>It's like they forget this is supposed to be a game about trading, so dumb.The trading will supposedly come ((((soon)))) but for some reason they seem to think people won't immediately offload their dupes in trades rather than for flair and special shop tickets. I bet they're scratching their heads rn wondering why people are hoarding dupes instead of cashing them in, not realizing people are stockpiling in anticipation of trading being added.
>>56946825Funny enough he was hard pulling water nonstop which is why he even wasted one on the pikachu.only because he hard bricked too did I win
>>56946836>it shouldn't be your setup mon regardless. put in a shield with a lower retreat cost if you draw it in your opening hand. until we get more sets for better engines stuff like that is necessary. stalling is actually viable for now while the power creep hasn't made everything speed up yetOIC using nidoking as a meatshield while building everything else up. Okay, I can see that.
>>56946849>ice cream and frozen yogurt are different foods, but functionally serve the exact same purpose>pocket and ptcg are different products, but functionally serve the exact same purposeNo salt. I'm genuinely curious how that's completely inaccurate.
When you don't Thanks me, that's the true W. I remember the name of all my opponents and the ones I beat. I'm looking for you, and when I go to my inbox and see that you didn't give Thanks. I won, I beat you in game, I beat you mentally, spiritually, and it feels so SOOO fucking good. Thanks for the game kid.
>>56946753nta but to me it’s the difference between a gourmet steak and a TV dinner. Sure, the tv dinner is serviceable but it’s nothing when compared to the wonderful, glorious taste of a nice rare steak prepared by a Michelin star chef. I’ll let you decide which system is which mealt. 25+ year tcg player
>>56946848The compensation for the strong attack already comes in the form of costing 4 energy and eating 2. I'm not saying I want to guarantee one hit knockouts against everything below ex, just that it shouldn't be one shotting basically nothing. There's plenty of stuff at 70+ hp that mewtwo ex would still need multiple turns to kill with 60 attack if it isn't ready for the big move yet.
OG tcg player here, is the meta stupidly lopsided towards one specific deck like irl started out with Charizard? I had a lot of fun back in the day clowning on $300+ decks using fuckin Mr mime
>>56946824Cosmetics will always be whale territory so I don't care. Everyone else will be trading cards to complete decks/binders, unless trading is complete dogshit.
sex wit sabrina
The battle system is biased against Stage 2>get some of the coolest artworks/cards/effects>they see little action in battle because you have to work through Basic and Stage 1 and energy accumulation for most of the battle's length
>>56946906inb4 they make you consume multiple dupes to get enough tokens to claim a card in a trade, so basically both sides need to spend 5 cards to get the 1 they want from each other or some shit like that
>>56946737You massive retard.The physical TCG has always had a bunch of ways to deal with multitype decks.As previously noted, you determine the energy ratios, so you can run 10x fire, 5x water for a deck that mostly wants fire.But just in the first four WotC sets:>Base Set:>Electrode Buzzap makes it a double rainbow energy>Charizard doesn't care about energy type>Energy Retrieval to grab any energy from your discard (and you end up with many more discarded energy in a 6-prize format)>Computer Search gets you anything>Fossil>Energy Search gets you whichever energy you need>Rocket>Introduced Rainbow EnergyAnd there have been 30 other multitype energies released over the years.Pocket needs *something*, and the most elegant one is just preventing getting energy screwed by setting global streak limits.
>>56946917>tfw still no Full Art Sabrina
>>56946917>sexOkay>feetYou lost me
>>56946905>OG tcg player here, is the meta stupidly lopsided towards one specific deck like irl started out with Charizard?problem with base set was charizard was so rare and sought after, no one ran it in decks. blastoise was the meta deck in base set.
>>56945319Bro I need that
>>56946921The physical tcg also had the same problem originally. Power creep eventually changed it. This will be the same, they just wanted to start small so that every new set will activate our FOMO neurons
>>56946890>he didn't read the whole postI'll say it again.>inb4 but the 150 burns two energies>Yeah, that's why they put Gardevoir in the game. If she didn't exist, sure, I'm with you. Let's buff him.>wanting Mewtwo to be good at every point in the gameThe whole point of my post is that Mewtwo is shit early to wreck shit late game. The game needs balance. If he hit hard early and late, then 90% of the decks we see in every tourney would be Mewtwo. The primary reason why Pikachu is more dominant than Mewtwo right now is because he hits hard early and therefore doesn't let the game go late. If Mewtwo could do what Pikachu does early AND what Charizard does late game, he'd be incredibly fucking broken. I bet you're the type of kid that finished the game with a level 75 Charizard, and 3 or 4 level 20-something shitmons.
>>56946921>The battle system is biased against Stage 2>>get some of the coolest artworks/cards/effects>>they see little action in battle because you have to work through Basic and Stage 1 and energy accumulation for most of the battle's lengthits biased for EX. I can see why, they're fun cards, but this game would be a lot different if they left EX cards out for a set or two.
>>56946771The Elite4 mini December set?No.You'll need Jasmine, Steelix, Scizor, Forretress, and Skarmory in the January set.Forretress/Scizor could make for an interesting grass/metal deck.I really hope Skarmory doesn't suck. Metal needs a solid basic.
>>56946921We need an item to tutor stage 2 or a trainer that can force evo stage 1 into a stage 2 that's in your deck.
>>56946921This will change once something like Rare Candy is released. The Exs don't bother me too much. They're big, flashy, hit hard, and make you feel cool, so I understand why they're in the launch set, but it would have been cool to have held off on them for a set or two.
>>56946817I SAID 'SHOULD' YOU NIGGER. CAN YOU NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IS AND OUGHT?
>>56945223Kid, there's not a single sub service on the planet that won't auto-enroll you for another payment period after the trail expires. That's literally the largest incentive of the trial in the first place. Companies realized that people are fucking lazy and stupid and will forget to cancel until months later when they decide to check their credit card statement (they have PTSD so ignore it, just having it set to minimum autopay) and see they've accumulated multiple payments for a service they aren't even using (credit card companies aren't going to refund you something from multiple months, unlike a single unexpected fee you can try charging back).Sure the other half of it is give the customer a taste of what the red carpet experience is. But they'd really love if you just let it slip your mind. Not this game in specific, but every fucking service that runs on sub models. Sub models are a fucking cancer to everything, and that's why they're included in fucking everything now. Infinite company growth can't happen by providing actual fucking value anymore so it has to instead be made by swindling.Thankfully they do have mercy, probably because of how big Pokemon is and their demographic, and let you cancel early without hassle. Most services nowadays have you click several "are you sure????" dialogues where they play funny games like switching the "yes" and "no" buttons or have you call a fucking agent if you want to unsub.

>>56946951Multiplayer should have two ruleset options:>Anything goes>No rules box (ex)That's it.Articuno and Mewtwo decks barely change, just swapping the normal version out for the ex, and decks play just a bit slower, but it makes so many alternate decks viable that it should happen.
>>56946968Want to make non-pika lightning decks
>>56946962I just wanted to call you a retard. I do agree, more or less
>>56946926>hating rng in a tcgkek Admittedly, setting a streak limit wouldn't be a horrible idea if it's something reasonable like 5 energies, but the original anon in >>56946639 was begging for a two turn limit. That almost completely removes the rng and is fucking retarded. When you run a multi-color deck in any physical tcg, you are inherently accepting a greater risk of completely fucking yourself over. You know the risks when you make the deck. Don't bitch about it when it bites you in the ass.
>>56946968>reply with a pokemon you want in the game NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Fully art, holo, gold border Jigglypuff EX.
>>56946924What’s the money conversion from packs to a single full set rare 1250 pack point card?Pretty sure if you spent 100 dollars on cards you couldn’t even buy a rare. I just tried the math and failed, how much pack points do u get per pack opened? Is it 5?100 dollars gets you 690 gold which is 11.5 10 packs.Is it 825?So a “rare” card is like 200 dollars of spending to guarantee.
>>56946968Low hitting, low energy and with a healing move.
I noticed that aside from all the gen 1 pokemon, gen 5 is the most represented in this set by far, rather than it being spread out more. I wonder why. Curious.
>>56946953I meant the full set yeah. The mini is still a part of the first set it seems
>>56946968magnezone
>>56946968Furret
>>56946980Oh, that's fine then.
>>569469865 points per pack opened yeah. The pity system has absolutely horrendous exchange rates.
>>56946976>Multiplayer should have two ruleset options:>>Anything goes>>No rules box (ex)>That's it.I think if/when they pull sets from rotation (or at least pull old cards from official play) they should absolutely add stuff like that.hell, let people make tourneys with specific rulesets. the game can give rewards of hourglasses or the like (just make sure there's rules so people don't exploit the system).
>>56946982>two turnI suggested 3 turn limit.So that by your fourth turn where you can play an energy, you're guaranteed both types.
>>56946997>I noticed that aside from all the gen 1 pokemon, gen 5 is the most represented in this set by far, rather than it being spread out more. I wonder why. Curious.I think this should've been a exact copy of Base Set. Release a new set every month and a half in line with the TCG release

>>56947094why would you pick the same spot it was in
>>56946754I have been playing this too.Been testing what to cut between giavannis, sabrinas, potions and xspeeds.Sabrina and xspeeds are OP, but I found out you need the giovannis to kill pikachus, they take 110 on your turn and if they want to attack back they die. Its still a bad trade but pikachu is the best/most popular deck aside from mewtwo that we tear apart with arbok alone.In the end I felt like potions were the weakest card and I didnt really miss it after testing.
>>56947094Yeah I saw it coming, again sorry.
>>56947084I put the Pokéball flair on my Pokéballs.It looks bretty gud, and it only costs one card (2 tranny tickets) apiece.I also flaired up Professor Oak and X Speed, since I use them in every deck and buying extra copies is easy.

>>56947113Arbok/Weezing is the best deck in the game. It doesn’t need saving
Just a reminder that Night March will never work in Pocket, because you won't be able to stuff enough mons into your deck to charge the damage up to respectable levels.
>random player takes 10 minutes worth of turns >he decked out fucking 8 turns agoWhat a slog. Doesn’t help that I’m salty from his vastly superior coin luck. I’m over here getting meme’d on by hypno’s 25% chance to sleep, and wiggly / frosmoth are failing the 50% nearly every time.

>>56947094>>56947065>top right ratI fuckin nailed it.
>>56947058I'm thinking probably not considering the desired game speed currently but I would be willing to consider it if the proposal is good.What I was thinking is Litwick does no damage but prevents trainer cards on the opponent's next turn, and Lampent does 40 plus 10 to basic pokemon

We really need Energy or Chain evolution Eevee.Don't Sleep on Crobat.Since Golbat only needs 1 energy for 40, you can attack T2 even when you go first.Crobat cards historically have had 1-or-2 cost attacks, so setup would be easy.They also often set extra damage poison.

>>56947147>Netrunnerbased
>>56947153Because I played it for like 2 weeks when it came out and Im pretty sure if I play it now I wont have enough resources to craft any new decks so Im stuck with some shit deck from when the game launched
>>56947157Sneasel/Weavile barely feel like Ice types design wise. I highly doubt they won't be Dark.
>>56947107Idk depends on the game, but I found out people don't see nidorino as a threat when I'm powering it in the bench.Nidoking usually manfights 2 pokemon and only costs one point but its a stage 2 so its really inconsistent. Arbok ability is probably the strongest ability in the game IMO.

Is there a way to tell a pack will be a rare one or does the spinning wheel of packs make no difference whatsoever
>>569470790

>>56947344makes no difference, your pack is decided on the previous step (when you click open pack)
Today I learned Magic Online was the first gacha
>>56947352Dataminer-sama, does Wonder Pick work the same way?
>>56947355I thought that was maplestory
>>56947344There are anecdotes of:>Player 1 opens up the pack carousel>Player 2 is a friend of Player 1 and checks wonder pick>Sees a wonder pick associated with player 1>Player 1 picks a pack and it exactly matches the wonder pickThe RNG roll happens the moment the carousel appears. Your pack ritual does nothing.But it might affect the next pick.

>>56947415The one that goes second
>>56947390Someone did research, its been proven that all packs are the same. If you add someone as a friend, you can view their pull on the wonder pick menu before they even open a pack. Its pre determined
>>56947415Depends. Ignoring luck, I would guess that whoever is running zebstrika is favored in that matchup.
>>56947406>beginner matchmakingWhat does this even mean? I never saw or noticed a beginner queue.

>>56947439You build him up will a stooge dies then sweep. If you get unlucky you try again.
>>56947433You can select “beginner” or “tcg player” when queuing for a regular pvp match. In practice, it doesn’t make a huge difference because there are a lot of people trying to farm easy wins in beginner. Might actually be easier to test meme decks in tcg player.
>>56947417If you had too how woukd you build a deck with this nigga. If he had more hp itd be OK

Asking this as a genuine question. Is there a luck seed? There's no way of knowing for sure, obviously, but if I do my pulls on my alt and get a crown rare, would I have gotten that on my main if I had pulled at that exact moment on that account instead? Or would I have gotten something else because both of those accounts have a different luck seed?
>>56947508>>56947511NAYRT but I joined after that.
Nearly all the worst most salty faggots who tryhard then have the audacity to timestall and disconnect rather than concede came from my few experiences with Beginner randoms.Fuck those shitters.
>>56947516All true gacha players know about and believe in the account seed. When you're rerolling, yeah you're rerolling for meta, or power, or just a good start, but more important than that you are rerolling for an account with a good seed.

>>56947217That's oddly specificYou'd also statistically be flirting with men 70% of the time
>>56947006Yeah that’s nuts, the value of “hard to obtain” cards is over 100 dollars, I’ve pigged out to try and get waifu cards and stopped because I still didn’t get after 100 bucks in. This game is gonna be wild to look back on in 3 years after not spending another scent on it. They’re def gonna try and create a 1:1 paper environment where certain rare cards are super rare and “expensive” but instead of paying card shops you pay them. Serious players won’t stick around for this though, they need to remove coin flips or make different lobby’s for different play types.
>>56947603>You'd also statistically be flirting with men 70% of the timeuhhh that's the point??? where do you think you are
Next expansion won't be Johto
>>56947611>they need to remove coinflipsFirst time playing a card game? this might shock you but your rolling the dice everytime you pull the next card out of your deck. Card games have RNG, if you don't like it they might not be your thing. Or just play a deck that minimizes how much RNG you need to worry about
>>56947435Mewtwo
>>56947627All of this is hearthstone’s fault. If not for that game there wouldn’t have been a boom of “you get [RESOURCE] for free every turn” that has proven time and time again to be the worst aspect of the game it’s in. Yet every time you suggest a better system (resource cards in the deck) you’re met with more vitriol than a presidential candidate
>>56947617>where do you think you areon a right-leaning bolivarian shoemaking website?
>>56947644No sir, the internet is for porn
>>56947641I don't see what the energy gain has to do with coinflipping, aside from your suggestion of switching to card based energy increasing the amount of coinflipping you would have to do during play.
Does Giovanni card boost all damage, or just the base attack damage? Will it increase by 10, stuff like>greninja ability>articuno benched pokemon damage>poison damage that turn
>>56947653reread giovannithe answer is no
>>56947653It definitely doesn't buff the 10 from sharticuno. I think the exact wording on Giovanni says damage from active pokemon attacks on the active Pokemon.
>>56947653just base damage, it doesn't affect abilities. For dragonite it only boosts damage done to the active pokemon, not all pokemon that get hit
>>56947653It doesn't affect poison or bench damageDon't know about greninja ability on active mon though
>>56947560>package name is jp.pokemon.pokemontcgpClearly we should be /jpp/
>>56947652Flipping coins is the exact kind of output randomness that players tend to really hate. Of course they should get rid of it. They should have gotten rid of it 20 years ago, but it’s too late now. This is how the game is.Energy cards in the deck is a different kind of randomness, one that the player has a LOT more control over and is therefore better. Yes, you can lose to variance, but new players tend to blame the system rather than their shitty deckbuilding when it happens. You can lose to variance in coin flips, too, but with the supposedly “old, outdated” system you still have the option to maximize your win percentage despite the shitty draw. No such luck with coin flips. A card game needs variance. Pocket just chose the wrong kind
>>56947648People wouldn't have time to chat in a battleThey should add clans/guilds insteadBut this game is very casual so I can't see that happening
>>56947664>During this turn, attacks used by your Pokémon do +10 damage to your opponent’s Active Pokémon.Water Shuriken isn't an "attack", so it shouldn't buff it.
Do I save on the hourglasses for next packs or just keep using it for the chance of getting 10 or so nonstar cards I still don't have in the packs right now
>>56947679>>56947641For me, it's having a separate deck consisting of only your energies, the best energy management system.It does need balance around it though, Force of Will did this but also revolved around your ruler being your main special card, and while you always had the ability to get an energy per turn, you both still built the deck and ratios yourself and actually paid an opportunity cost to get your energy per turn, since if you did that then you wouldn't be able to "activate" your big special main card which put them into the field to do all their special cool stuff.
>>56947627The existence of Kengaskan disproves your argument because if they go second they can one shot most basic mons off a coin flip and you can’t really build against that.>>56947641Getting mana screwed isn’t fun and the energy is good, but it is also random, which is bad, if it was one of each energy every other turn it would work because>powerful moves like Zapdos 3 electric energy would then be forced to turn 6 if you dual energyed >you could actually play more than 2 colors without risking an L for no reason.
>>56947689Save if you have Mew, spend if you don't.
>>56947376Nah, that's wrong. You need to find one that has a bent corner AND is naturally flipped, then you flip it forwards and then you look for a DIFFERENT bent corner pack and it will be a god pack. If there is no other bent corner pack, then open a different naturally flipped pack - it guarantees at least one rare.Since you flipped the first pack you won't know when you actually get back to it by going around the wheel. If you end up opening it by mistake it will be full commons.
>>56947693>not one but two ways built into the game system to make variance as low as possible.Remind me how force of will is doing again?>>56947694You’re just a retard, it’s not worth my time trying to convince you of shit
>>56947406>>56947421>>56947433There is no difference between beginner and the other one.
>>56947707>Remind me how force of will is doing again?Dead!But not because of the resource management system.
>make a normal deck>go first every time>get fucked>make a deck that specifically wants to go first>go second every time
>want to test my meme deck in begginer matchmaking>gold medal level 30 with a pika deck barges in
>>56947644>newfags actually believe this2016 was a mistake.
>>56947693Having an energy deck would probably be better especially if dual colorless becomes a thing or other special energy.>>56947707Cool non argument, coin flips should be removed from the game >card draw is randomNo it’s not, not when 2 charmeleons are at the bottom 2 cards of my deck for 18 games in a row. 20 card deck with 2 max cards is actually so kino also, too bad game is clearly rigged on the backend.

>>56947714>but not because of the resource management systemWhatever you say, anon. I’ll bet the 100th game was really fucking boring, though, if anybody’s ever played that many>>56947729>n-n-not an argument!!I had a perfectly reasonable argument: reduced variance leads to reduced playability and long-term viability of a game. You’re just mad you don’t get consistently lucky
How many hour glasses do you guys got saved up? Im not sure if its worth doing this, but i dont wanna spend too much money and also getting free packs daily is nice.
>>56947719What deck wants to go first? I assume you evolve and hit for 1 energy turn 2
>>56947738Variance should come with deck building and game balance, if you could be fighting any type of water deck, that is more fun than the same coin flip deck over and over again.
>>56947723Just finished a game that I barely won with a wigglytuff ex deck.>beginner matchmaking>jap whale joins (level 30)>full, sweaty zard deck>check his stats>over 400 winsWhy are they like this?

>>56947750Something has to be the best deck. It’s unreasonable to expect every single evolution line to be exactly as powerful as every other evolution line in the game. There will be better cards, there will be worse cards. You must be a hearthstonebaby
>>56947740I’m at 192 with over 200 wonder hourglasses and 440 pack points. Saving pack hourglasses isn’t too hard because I know I’ll want them for something in the future. Wonder hourglasses are easy to save because wonder pick hates me. The pack points are tough, though. Every fucking zard pack that I open without another copy of vulpix/ninetales or my first copy of primeape makes me seethe just a little more.
>>56947759Nope, never really played much hearthstone. Cards would still be better or worse but the fact is that coin flips and EX mons make almost all other mons unviable. >>56947761I have like 40 copies of every non-ultra rare card I will trade to /vp/ for free/whatever once trading is around. Trainers, non-full arts, I will give them all away (I just hope you have 2 promo mankys)
>>56947679If the choice is between a system where>I lost because I didn't get the right energy at the right timeor one where>I lost because I didn't pull any fucking energy at allthen I'd rather go with the former over the latter. The reason the latter one even works is because of energy search cards which just add more cards your forced to run in your deck instead of allowing for a better variety of support/item/pokemon cards
god I love Giovanni
>>56947769I’m down, anon. We’ll see what the restrictions are, but assuming I haven’t pulled them by then, I might be asking around here.
>>56947694Kangaskhan has a 1/4 chance to do 60 damage more likely doing 30 and 1/4 chance to not do shit. Situations where you get randomly one shot by kangaskhan at game start are about as rare as misty+lapras turn 1 bullshit. You can't defend against it but it happens so infrequently that it's not worth worrying about. I don't really think kangaskhan is all that good of a pick for any deck as it's too reliant on hitting that 1/4 chance.

>>56947742Exeggutor
>>56947738>Whatever you say, anon. I’ll bet the 100th game was really fucking boring, though, if anybody’s ever played that manyAt least when I played there was a decent amount of deck variety, sets came out pretty regularly and added variety, shifted the meta etc.Your argument stems from the necessity of randomness to induce variance in order to keep games from being stale, but that's just one easy way to help it out,You can have plenty of variance in different match ups, additionally if you are side-decking in accordance.Having energies in the main deck has pros and cons, and will lead to a slower, more luck-dependent game which also heavily boosts the usefulness of search and draw cards. With a split main and energy deck you allow for deck and energy to be more consistent, which speeds up the game and makes it less luck-dependent,If you think about something like chess, there is an extreme amount of variance in the amount of opening moves you can make, and that does not rely on luck.Just moving the energies outside of the deck doesn't make every deck 100 percent consistent and you still need to plan around adjustable variance in your turn 1/2/3 plays, it just means you can actually DO something each turn instead of just putting down a land and passing because you have shit all in your hand.Or having nothing but lands in your hand and simply being in top-deck mode.Is this the type of "variance" that you praise so much? The new beautiful gamestates of being either landfucked or land starved? I'd rather have a more consistent deck and have them create variety in new cards, set rotation, etc. rather than having more luck-dependent potential to get fucked over. It ends up making more strategic and less luck-based, which isn't inherently death-inducing.Naturally for FoW you had a smaller hand size compared to pokemon and magic which helps against consistency, well it's 5 so same as pocket but that was with a 40 card deck not a 20 card one.
>>56947740I'm missing too much of these first sets to be saving hourglasses. If I get fucked out of the 2nd expansion, I'll just quit or reroll.
>>56946018Holy based burgerbroI love yugioh making a deck that made it playable later on too, nice to see them giving archetypes to the shit vanilla mobs from early yugioh
Hot take: going first should allow you to do everything but attack, including attaching energy
>>56947594I had that issue too at first. You're flipping it the same way every time so of course you always fail. Find a way to get heads, and then replicate it. I have pretty much 100% success rate now.
>>56947820I mean, that really isn't a hot take. I legit thought that's what happens on the first turn until I battled. It should be like Yugioh where you can do everything except attack.
>>56947693>Force of WillThere were a couple people at my LGS that were trying to get people into Force of Will back when it first came out in America. I liked the art, so I bought a pack. I never got into actually playing the game, but I will say that Force of Will had the nicest feeling cards I've ever touched. They felt like silk or velvet, and they were really sturdy too. Beautiful feeling cards, I loved just touching them.
>>56947814it might be worth saving them if the way trading gets limited is that you can't trade the current booster but can trade everything older. If that's how they do it, you'll get a chance to trade for stuff you want from the old deck instead of needing to roll for it. Unless your a diehard collector, in which case your probably fucked

You can't prevent it every time but if your good you'll win much more often regardless of rng.

>>56947869>benching 50 more than your body weightgod I hope so, not sure how you would get out of bed otherwise
>>56947834There’s a decent amount of leeway around bad rng and the better decks (ie strong early game) we get, it will have even less influence.
>>56947871Can't wait for the power creep
>>56947871>Alcremie that have been cherished produce exauisite cream.Coincidentally, Misty also produces cream (and milk) after being cherished.
>>56947752I’m glad you put that tryhard in his place anon
>>56947847>minimizing RNG and trying to keep yourself out of a bad sitution100% correct. Deck building is at 65% of the skills needed to win consistently. Anyone saying otherwise is coping hard. This is the first lesson I learned at 12 after I entered my first Magic tourney at the local quarterly anime convention and got my shit kicked in. The second lesson I learned is how important deck thinning is.
>>56947738>>56947808I'd also like to say I don't even dislike energies in the main deck, it just has a bit of a different feel to it, and no it doesn't feel good to be forced to pass since you can't do shit because of the inherent increase in randomness that having energies in the main deck causes.There is so much more that goes into a game and the long term health of it than just making things more consistent and faster, though it should be handled with care.I also will say I don't like how Hearthstone does things since there is no cost to getting energy every turn, same for pocket, but again in Force you usually WANT your Ruler card out in the field, but you also want energy every turn, so it can be fun deciding when the best time to flip your ruler and put them in the field was, since doing so sacrificed your per-turn energy, and of course if you chose to get more energy then you can't put your ruler into the field.A bit more off-topic than before yeah but I'm not going to have another opportunity to really talk about this game, and I liked how it did the energy deck that I haven't really seen other games do, since if they do then there is no cost to it and just like Hearthstone Shadowverse which is lamer and also isn't an actual deck either and just something that builds each turn regardless of player agency. >>56947828It's a shame I had a nice local scene for a while but it both became too overly meta and future sets were less interesting with the new game mechanics and characters art what have you, also the people around me dying out so being left with basically nothing.Touching the cards now and comparing it to pokemon and yeah the pokemon cards and yugioh for that matter feel very paper and flimsy, but the FoW cards have this nice thickness and silky texture on the back. And yes I love the art.
>>56947890I'm not reading all that shit.

>>56947820literally how it works in the actual tcg
>>56947915Exactly. The more this game refuses to be like yugioh and pisses off the people who expect it to be like that, the better it will be.
>finally got a 2nd Gardevoir from Wonder Pick>both of my Gardevoirs are from Wonder Pick>my 2 Weezings came from Wonder Pick also>I got 2 Mewtwo EXs from Wonder Pick, but then I opened 2 Immersive art Mewtwo EXs over the next week>still don't have Marowak EX or Gengar EX>don't have Articuno EX>don't have Articuno normal>don't have Beedrill>don't have Aerodactyl>don't have Koga>don't have Pidgeot>don't have KiriliaI think I'm just gonna start opening Charizard. The Mewtwo pack fucking hates me.
>>56947834I don’t mind it, but I also don’t understand how some seem to enjoy lower-tier decks that rely on a lot of rng. Feels bad getting robbed when aerodactyl rolls 5 fucking tails in a game you know?
>>56947820I'll do you one better: that's how it is for both players on their first turn.
>>56947929Friend me in the future anon.I can trade you Marowak ex, Koga, Kirlia, Full Art Pidgeot if we need 3-ofs.Both of my Gards had to come from WP too.
>>56947147I'm still sad the pocket general is here and not tg so i don't have to see casual gacha niggers seething about a tcg
>>56947930[KING KINGLER DISLIKED THIS POST]
>>56947930It's all about balance, man. I alternate between my Seaking/Krab/Misty and my Ape/Hedgehog decks as needed.
>>56947929Do you have 2x Dragonite line?
>>56947890This is the type of shit a Yu-gi-oh villain would play in the anime
>>56947947Same anon here.>>56947946MY MAN.
>>56947511>>56947508I DIDN'T GET A SINGLE FUCKING ONE FROM THEM JUST A BUNCH OF MANKEYS>>56947512I KNOW I DO ALL OF THEM
>>56947948I don't have a 2nd Dragonite, but I'm not interested in playing Dragonite.>>56947942I'm probably just gonna buy the Koga and Kirilia. Thanks though. These threads will be neat in the future if trading is actually worth.
>>56947929I'd friend you so that I can get rid of most of the Gengar and Articunos I have.
>>56947915>>569479252/3 of the text is unnecessary
Is the gold worth buying at all? was thinking of getting that deal that was like 8 bucks with a bunch of free gold or something then using that gold for the next set of cards
>>56947834It's therapeutic to complain about it because there's nothing you can really do about it. Fix your ratios? Almost impossible (at the current time) when you can only have 2 copies of cards per deck, the limit is 20 cards, and building is fairly streamlined. The most you can do right now is just play whatever the best deck is that's good going first or second.
>>56947971Wait until black friday, there will be deals
>>56947954Agreed, especially since this is the one it usually got attached to. The lv x era was strange, but at least they made it so that lv x cards were treated as not having a different name, meaning a full playset only was 2 of each
>>56947971The only $ spending that makes sense is the monthly subscription since it is worth 30 packs.
>>56947153Because playing against Maxx c blows dick, and the coin flip of first/second is about a million times worseOff meta deck building that can win a decent amount of games vs meta is also actually possible here in pocket, the most deck building you do in yugioh is optimizing deck lists and hand trap suites unless you're a literal god that can put together table 500 stuff or come up with dragon link type stuffIt's also easier and more casual than md, so for a phone game it's pretty bis, plus the input lag on mobile is miserable to play withMD is generous as fuck tho, you can build every big meta deck on every set release possible if you really wanted to
so uuuuuuhhhhh what's the point of wonderpick once we're able to trade cards?
>>56948010knowing which friends to beg trades off of
>>56947979>The most you can do right now is just play whatever the best deck is that's good going first or second.top kek. I got 50 wins in less than a week playing casually and the most "meta" deck I have is Venu/Lilligant. A lot of what you just said sounds a lot like cope.
>>56948010More inventory for fodder I guess. Especially if the dupe dust starts being required for something actually functional at some point.
Is venusaur + liligant deck any good? It seems like it should work but i see people use the tree instead
Parasect is underrated.
>>56948010We don't know how trading works, and I'm assuming you'll only be able to trade things that you have 3 or more of, and it will probably only allow trading for cards of the previous expansion, and even then it might not allow trading for all of the cards in the set. Wonder Pick is free, like you'll always be regenning Wonder Pick energy, it will be available for the current set, and you wont have to trade anything away in order to get a card.
>>56948034The values of eggs is he only needing one energy. Liligant needs to live two turns to repay you.
Just watch, trading is only going to be 1 card for 1 card, and they must be equal rarity. It's gonna suck so much.
>>56946483>50 HP>Ability: If this Pokemon is knocked out, it's knocked out. This ability has no effect if this Pokemon is knocked out.>Rock Throw: 2 Fighting Energy - 10x (Flip 3 coins, this move does 10 damage for each heads)>Retreat cost: 3 energy>Weakness: Fire
>>56946518How hard do you think Lt.Surge pounds that?
>>56948059
>>56948059Lt. Surge's feelings about Pikachu are entirely platonic. Zapdos, on the other hand...
>>56948025>A lot of what you just said sounds a lot like copeWhat do you think therapeutic complaining is? They'd why I do it, at least. It's just big cope. There's no justifying it. Sometimes I'm just looking for someone to empathize with me.
>>56948069
>>56946968Ampharos.
>>5694784710x this and the other replyJust get gud noobs
>>56947729>Having an energy deck would probably be better especially if dual colorless becomes a thing or other special energy.At that point you may as well just add energy cards into deck creation and have them shuffled along with your other cards.
>>56948076You think Misty invites Jynx along? Kinky girl.
>>56948076As long as you have a gardevoir out already the threat of a surprise jynx that doesn't even exist yet just instantly appearing to do this is always present
>>56947946Kingler gang
>>56948075>asking for a therapy session on 4chanHoly fucking kys and go find a discord where some tranny can tell you that your gay feelings aren't retarded
>>56947483The ting about Kanga is that he's such a threat and has such a large HP pool for a basic that him being an immovable wall is fine. Unlike Snorlax who just sits there as a fat sack of shit with no intimidation factor, Kanga with a lucky coinflip can seriously cripple or take out whomever is on point so has to actually be respected.You're supposed to lead with Kanga and DBZ powerup behind her. Your opponent will be too scared to bring out something heavy hitting because Kanga can fuck their shit up, so it buys you a lot of turns. The obvios drawback is if you get Kanga late game she becomes way less useful. I've still sometimes picked up a surprise win in the end using her as a hail mary in the final stretch but chances are if you get her late game she'll be staying in your hand.I think the tradeoff is worth it. I don't mind not being able to retreat her cause she actually does damage.
Am I retarded to keep pulling on Charizard pack for the hopes of full art Sabrina even though I haven't touched the Pikachu pack yet?
both of you fags are embarrassing its just a fun game and the thread is to talk about fun stuff, why waste time talking about bad stuff?
>>56948115>Kanga>him
>>56948115>he/him>she/herfuck I messed her pronouns up, pretend I'm talking about her (male) baby in the pouch sometimes
>>56948107Shut up, bitch.
>>56948120>>56948122You need to do a barve, now.
>>56948076Someone tell me how to make a Jynx deck
>>56947800>irl tcg feature or mechanic not yet common in pocket that you wish becomes a mainstay later on60-card decks, mulligan if no basic in opening hand, mulligan in general, 6 prize cards, 10-card packs>irl tcg feature or mechanic not yet common in pocket that you're glad is gone and hope it fucks off foreverNothing comes to mind, but I only played the real TCG up till one of the first Johto expansions and then a bit during Night March/Seismitoad Ex times.
The first lesson that all pocket players should learn when deck building: If you need to cut cards from your deck, red card should be the first to go. It doesn't matter whatsoever what your opponent is doing if your deck isn't doing what it should be doing. Focus on getting your house in order before worrying about what the opponent is doing.
>build a decent deck>get all solo battle rewards>win 50 event battlesNow what? Just open 2 packs a day until next event?
>>56948126FUCK I just wanna club in this stupid lizard's face with a big stick so badly
>>56948136Yes. Best Mobile Game of the Year nominie btw
>>56948149Mobile games are shit so this could win
>>56948107top kek>>56948126No, he's right. Therapy is for women and low IQ retards. With that being said, seek help. Maybe post on reddit/MtF. They'll probably understand you.
>>56948149Sounds about right, unironically
>>56948149You say it like TGA is worth anything.
>>56948117>its just a fun gameDoubt
>>56948135>opponent wrecks your house with red card>lmao just get your house in order
>>56948185>get red carded>doesn't matter because my deck has been built properly and I draw a decent hand every timeI can't wait until ranked comes out so all of the red card retards get stuck in Silver.
>>56947929I have this from wonder pick2x Pikachu ex2x Tauros1x kangashkan 1x moltres ex1x articuno ex1x Giovanni 1x Erika 1x omastar 1x raichu1x starmie ex 1x weezing
>>56948135How will removing red card and adding other situational stuff help me draw the cards I need?
>>56948211>I can't wait until ranked comes outI am incapable of waiting for that as well. I recognize that it will never come.
>>56948221Pokedex
>>56948136>>56948149>gacha niggers can't imagine dueling for the fun of it and need some dopamine stick to do pvp
I don't really need wonder hourglasses right now but its still better to clean out the monthly shop since the rest is permanent, while monthly is limited and will resetright?
>>56948239Yes.
>>56948228So I know whether I should concede immediately, instead of waiting for 3 turns?
>>56948239It seems the non-monthly stuff will just never refill once you buy it out, while monthly stuff refills every month, and is more expensive because of that.
>>56948239>>56948245The only way buying monthly first matters is if 1) It is impossible to buy both monthly and cheap before month resets and2) At some point in the future we will get a surplus of tickets such that we can now buy monthly and free in the same monthAlsoIf you run out of tickets and didn't buy all the monthlies than GUESS WHAT you bought more hourglasses in total because they were cheaper so you spent your tickets more efficiently.the only way you "profit" from buying the monthly ones before they go away provided you wouldn't have had enough to buy both that and the cheap ones is if they, in the future, give us a lot of tickets.And again, if you buy the monthly stuff and then the cheap ones it doesn't matter cause you bought it all anyway.
>>56948247So that you can see what you're going to draw, plan accordingly, or shuffle it away with Pokeball.
>>56948239Absolutely 100%. The price difference between the monthly and one-off purchases is bait to make new players miss out. Same reason you have to scroll down to see the monthly stuff.
>>56948135Why can’t we have 22 card decks bros, 20 isn’t enough
When do you consider a wonder pick "worth it"?Is just one card I want worth the stamina if the other 4 blow cock?
>>56948280>Is just one card I want worth the stamina if the other 4 blow cock?Only if your stamina is near full.
>>56948267What if I didn't draw a pokeball?
>>56948287Look, play Pokedex or don't. I don't give a shit what you do. You asked what you should be playing instead of Red Card, and I gave you an example. I didn't know you were just shitposting.
>>56948269That's a dumb idea. Decks would be much more consistent if they had less cards, not more.
>>56948298I'm not shitposting, it was an actual real life ingame situation.This time I got saved by my opponent red carding me, though.
Does flipping the pack before opening it mean you'll see the rare cards first? I'd rather get disappointed immediately
>>56948338yea
>>56948338It's not necessarily a rare card, but you will start from the last spot, so that's the one with a bigger chance to be rare (it can still be just a common, though).On that note>>56947800>irl tcg feature or mechanic not yet common in pocket that you wish becomes a mainstay later onGuaranteed rare in each pack.
>>56948298>he actually thinks not drawing the card you need is shitpostingFuck off, Yugi.
>>56948385>he doesn't believe in the heart of the cardsNGMI
>>56945049>>56945088>>56945679/ppg/ has been used for many years by pokemon prototype general. It's good you guys moved away from trying to co-opt it.

>>56947572I hate 3D "art" so much. Anyone who thinks AI won't take over the industry has been fucking blind for over a decade now. 3D was slop before AI slop and they kept forcing 3D into our faces until it just became the fucking norm and now people unironically like this soulless cheap piece of shit. The same will happen with AI. Can't wait for the 2032 EX cards to be literal fucking slop generated and people will praise it because "oooo they're animated now!" just like how piece praise this shit because "I can wiggle my screen and it pops out le card!!!"
>>56947679They should get rid of coin flips and replace them with D20 rolls
>>56948735They should make it so the premium pass gives holders a 0.5% increased probability of winning a coin flip (also let them pick if they want to go first or second after winning the first coin toss). If both players have a premium pass than it's just like normal.
