For five minutes… could TPCi not print a special set? FOR FIVE MINUTES!
Seriously. I‘m really getting tired of these buyer-unfriendly, scalper-enticing special sets.
Because TPCi can’t really adapt to the way the TCG is released in Japan while the sell-outs of Generations, Hidden Fates, and...
On the one hand Sunflora is a nice Charizard counter that doesn’t lose too much with the Prize trade due to it being a one-Prizer and having an Energy cost of 1 Grass Energy for its first attack (the one you’d mainly use to counter Charizard ex). But on the other you have to evolve from a 40 HP...
This stuff looks interesting…
Grookey and Rillaboom are nothingburgers but Thwackey is a really interesting addition thanks to the Bang Bang Drum Ability. There’s the microscopic issue with it requiring a Pokémon with the Festival Temperance Ability but I’ll wait until release to see if it gets...
Eh, I don't really see a point for this outside of nostalgia and less space taken up. These kinds of binders are also too easy to *YOINK* when you think about it.
You clearly didn't get the message. The actual binder that's coming out it September is the one seen at the very beginning of the...
I do but I kind of don’t pay attention to the pull rates on Live due to a few factors (Live having 5-card packs, the credit system making it somewhat easy to get the cards you need for decks if you don’t pull them in your packs, certain meta decks being given to you right out the gate, and the...
Well that's worrying, I really hate it when TPCi tweaks the pull rates for the worst.
That said I bought a box of Temporal Forces before the set actually dropped and I ended up pulling 1 SIR (Iron Crown ex) three FAs (Explorer's Guidance, Salvatore, and Iron Crown ex), two ACE SPECs (Neo Upper...
Meh, these are a bit mediocre to me…
— Teal Mask Ogerpon ex does have the capability to threaten Dark Tera Charizard ex but Dark Tera Charizard ex has its own counter in the form of Entei V, something I’m expecting to rise in usage come rotation.
— Wellspring Mask Ogerpon ex is nice in theory...
Eh, I‘m all for more friendlier events but I’m not a fan alternate formats like GLC. I guess I‘ll have to find a League that doesn’t bother with those if I want to get these cards.
I ended up attending 4 Temporal prereleases over the weekend, I ended up pulling the following:
Prerelease 1: Regular Iron Leaves ex and an Ancient/Future Pokémon 40-card deck with a Miraidon promo. I went 1/2/0 (mostly due to poor deck building, I failed to include enough Grass Energy to...
There are no purchase limits AFAIK (I visited the ones that popped up in WA malls back in 2017) but they do run out of high-demand items (151 booster bundles, Shiny Charizard ex tins, anything with Evolving Skies packs, etc.) like @Chaosbeat mentioned.
How recent are the videos? The last time...
I mentioned this on other channels but I'm cautiously optimistic about Pokémon TCG Pocket.
On the one hand it's nice to see that the TCG is getting another game app, especially when it has two-sh (my faith in Creatures is shaky at best, I really don't like how the current meta is heavily...
I understand that it’s “free” in the sense that TPCi could’ve easily just let this year’s Pokémon Day go by with just a Pokémon Presents but it feels like that they want it to more than just that by doing events on that day.
My complaint is that it just consists of recycled products and stuff...
Eh, outside of the dice and the cancelled promos this is a bit weak. The tins are still available on Pokémon Center and I assume the PC-exclusive ETBs are ones available on the site too.
Oh, and there are a couple of things I noticed in the article that seemed a bit off.
Here's the first...
AFAIK there are no distinctions between the versions of the promo obtained via the original museum giveaway and the Pokémon Center giveaway so I doubt that there will be any for this run either.
