It was Kavross's idea you can ask them about STEAM and whether it costs money: http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/members/kavross.122074/ We could try developing a PTCGO plugin...
Haha yeah buying the game for this might be a lil much, it is just one avenue that we could work something out in. A ptcgo plugin could be cool, dunno how that works
I found a free one possibly so I'll report back in a couple Alas it seems most game simulators don't want people importing copyrighted material. I guess the only real viable way to do any kind of battling here would be over webcams? Idk
There is actually a way this could happen without real-world travelling AND without payment, and that would be using a program called LackeyCCG, which allows for custom trading card plugins to be created and used. I don't know how to do it, though. Like @Jabberwock said, Keeper of Night knows and would be a good person to ask. ^v^ Alternatively, y'know, I could look up how. Couldn't be that hard, right? Nonetheless, I'd love to see something like this happen! I'm a big fan of TCG and I'd even be willing to make some cards/art if it came to it.
I think that even if we don't play against each other online (I mean it could still happen...), it wouldn't hurt to develop a list of cards so we could theorize what metagame decks there would be. I will be still working to update the spreadsheet despite the setbacks.
Shuppet! Very meta! (From Ninjamezor's fakes) Put stuff in deck. Win. At least have 1 or 2 of these in every deck. Also, Rotom! Ninja Boy! (Also from Ninjamezor's fakes) Use ability, ninja boy, hit weakness
This lugia might be an interesting tech in some decks (From metoro's fakes) Maybe even it's own deck. You soul shackle 2 times, being immune to damage, then release all the damage for a big knockout!
Another awesome archetype! (Also from metoro's fakes) We still have to wait for regice, but it is already coming together. you play a lot of rainbow energy in this deck.
This is FAR better than Lackey I'll just say right now. Lackey, while free, has issues with card sizes, text additions, connectivity, etc. And it doesn't look this good. Like damn, I'll buy that. That being said for plugins like this to work you'd need images to match every card, so text-based sets just aren't possible to work with unless they were converted in the first place.
I can make Images of My cards, it won't be a hassle for me, but at the moment I can't buy GTS right now.
Sorry totally forgot. Don't know how to avoid buying it, tried my hand at making a plugin for lackeyCCG and it is really hard.
