RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

^Just call me Stealth or something.
Erm yeah, EP seems like a good set for a pre-release. It has no good secret rares, but a few good trainers and rares you will need to trade for. A pre-release is ideal for sets like that.

I have around 125 beta codes. When the full game goes live and the boosters reset, I plan to open 36 HGSS packs and 36 BW packs. What should I spend the rest of the codes on? I will not get any Triumphant packs because I am sick of bad pulls. I'd rather have PoP sets, Skyridge, and CoL over that "set".

The boosters wont reset when the full game goes live. Your online collection will stay in tact.

Give Me All The Codesl
Black & White:EP if they put packs up
and sets which you want a few cards from/most of the cards which you don't have
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

Just got more Triumphant from additional beta codes. Got more bad rares like Solrock, Banette, Wailord, and Carnivine. I'll think I'll get any set and avoid TU altogether. Just an overhyped set with many worthless rares, IMO. For Magnezone, I'll just get Donphan/Reshiram/Zekrom and trade for it, as well as Junk Arm, Seeker and other trainers. I mean this is turning into another Neo Genesis traumatic bad pull experience.
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

I've been recently looking through my binder,'and I realized I had a shortage of
Primes and Engineer's Adjustments and Seeker and and Judge.
I am also on a shortage FA's (just BW) . What booster packs should I buy and where?

ps: I also have only 50 or so dollars to spend.

Like they said in your other thread, the best primes are from triumphant, engineer's and judge are in Unleashed and the full arts you need are from BW. I think you could just buy the cards you want separately online, it so much cheaper. Check out troll and toad their prices on singles are pretty cheap.



I have 130 bucks
want to build a deck but have no HGSS (HGSS, TR, UL, UD) cards at all cause I stopped collecting around neo era and started again with BW -_-
need staple T/S/S and don't know which set to buy from
may just buy singles online just need to know the main T/S/S lines from the popular decks

but getting the singles online would cost way more than my budget. Also: where should I buy the packs? I also need the exactish amount of packs. Is the HS Collection Box a good idea?

oh ok, just target which cards you want (trainers, primes or FAs) and spend all your money on the set those are from.

I know that but I don't know what exactly what I should buy.
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

Alright, it's been almost 3 years since my last game in Pokemon TCG. Now I'm getting back to the game. I realize there are lots of new cards, even new rules. So I need help, guys. I want to make 2 decks.

Price Range: enough for 1 Booster Box
What you're thinking of buying: either 1 Booster Box or some Booster packs from various expansions

I need 2 competitive decks. I was thinking to get a Booster Box from BW but the Trainers aren't good enough. I see lots of good trainers come from HGSS series. But they will be rotate soon enough, right? So buying a Booster Box from HGSS series isn't a good idea I think, plus, since it's old expansion, kinda hard to find here.

As for now, I've just bought 2 theme decks from EP (Toxic Tricks and Power Play), just to try out new system/rules (and to get some basic useful Trainers like Cheren).

Thanks before,
MysteryE
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

@MysteryE
Triumphant has some really good trainers and Pokemon. HGSS also has staple trainers and Primes. BW has good Pokemon like the FA's and good holos. I would get 12 Triumphant 12 BW and 12 HGSS. that should get you some hood cards and that should be enough for 2 decks. Hope I helped. :D

COLLECTOR'S QUESTION TIME

Price Range: $200-ish?
What you are thinking of buying: Booster Box/Boosters (English or Japanese)

Since I've gotten back into the game, I've been keeping up with the modified format for competitive cards, but the collector in me keeps looking back over my shoulder at all those awesome cards I missed during my hiatus (TR though TM), and then giving longing glances off to the side at those gorgeous Japanese cards.

Basically I'm looking for good set ideas for cool booster boxes and/or booster packs to buy, for collector's purposes, primarily from older sets. Sets with cool cards and nice artwork. I'm open to buying my cards in either English or Japanese, since they wouldn't be used for playing anyway, though I know that the sets don't always line up exactly between languages.

I just don't really know a lot about the sets that were released during my hiatus, so I'm not sure where a good starting point would be.

Suggestions on where to BUY said older booster packs/boxes would also be appreciated (especially for Japanese cards), though not necessary, since I could probably (maybe) find them on my own if I tried. I have a decent google-/ebay-fu.
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

^ EX Deoxsys, EX Firered Leafgreen, Supreme Victors, Rising Rivals, and Legends Awakens are some of my favorite older sets I'd go with one of them Leaning towards the DP ones because pulling ex pokes isn't easy :( anyways good luck with deciding ^^

I really like Expedition, Aquapolis, and Skyridge. The set has great artwork and it's a fun set to collect. The Crystals in Skyridge and Aquapolis are cool to to open too.

RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

Price Range: $3-$20
What you are thinking of buying:packs
Any options to choose from and why (Optional): all hgss-on sets. I usualy buy black and white or emerging powers cause i am trying to get cards for my ZPS deck. And to get Catcher/Tornadus/Zeckrom
 
RE: The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

^ okay if I were you I would buy the cheapest ones you can find (that are not fake of course :p lol) I also like HGSS because it has a lot of staple cards since you don't really need anything from TR (except Junk Arm) I'd drop that EP is nice but I think you can hold back for now until the price drops on them a bit UL and UD don't really have much to offer eith so I would do either Black and white or HGSS also maybe you should get a BW zekrom tin you get one zekrom you need a tin and 4 BW booster packs for about $15 xD
