The last few hours have been pretty shady to me.

I'll spare the details, but here's the kicker.

I went to the store and bought a few packs of cards. Of these packs, two were Delta Species. I came home and just because I wanted to hopefully get out of the bad mood I was in, I tossed one of the Delta Species packs to my brother and told him to open it. I opened mine and looked through the pack. My rare was Azurill. Okay, so I'm trying to think how this is good. I didn't have one before... its attack isn't bad, it can fetch Pokémon-ex. All right, not bad. Looking good.

My brother got Groudon Star. The ungrateful ***** doesn't even thank me for the pack.

...yeah. So... moral of the story: only buy cards for yourself. Learn from my mistakes. :l
 
Hey, that's life for ya, no one said it was fair. But yeah, that really stinks. Kind of like the last time I've gotten an ex at a pre-release was Fire Red/Leaf Green.

Right before the Legend Maker pre-release started, I was trading with this little 6 year old, I traded my Unseen Forces Celebi ex for his Espeon ex, and then he said he would like to trade for my Torchic star because he had Treecko and Mudkip. Well, there was nothing I really wanted from him, and he didn't beg for it or even ask for it really, but I gave it to him for nothing.

The tournament started about 5 minutes later, he got a Mew ex, the guy to my right got a Dustox ex, the guy to my left got a Flygon ex, and the guy in front of me got an Arcanine ex. My best card was Victreebell, but I didn't get a Weepinbell (go figure). My score at the end of the tournament was 4 loss 1 win.

The moral of this story "you don't always get what you deserve."

Yes, sometimes I'm just too nice. The only reason I would miss it is Team Rocket Returns was my first box ever and I got torchic star in it.
 
I bought 2 packs of fr lg my friend wanted a pack so i sold him one, he got a zapdos ex and i got a stinkin pigey and some other cards
 
I bought 8 packs of Unseen Forces (Last Packs in Store)
Me and my friend (who go to the store and bought it) take 6 packs and last 2 packs is sold to my friend, me and my friend (who go to the store) got common and uncommon holo. and my friend (who bought from me) got Politoed and Scizor EX, T_T.....SOB
Moral: learn from mistake and luck!
 
hmm...this never happen to me, but I have almost same story...
I bought 1 DS pack for my lil' bro and he got Jolteon EX, I bought myself ony a Tyranitar d (not that bad, though)...
the worst one was last week,,, I bought him a LM booster, and he got Dustox EX while I bought 3 for myself but it all sucks... (I hate this life sometimes...)
 
I never buy my brother any boosters. He can use his own money. Last week. I went to the league and because my mom is judge i get free boosters. My brother didn't come so I got all the boosters and I have a shiny registeel, a walrain ex and... MEW EX!!! Now he acts like he doesn't care :)
 
I haven't had REALLY bad luck in a while. But... 6 Years ago when only the Base and Jungle set were out, my friend had a birthday. I bought him 3 packs of the Base set. He got a Charizard and Blastoise in those packs. Back then it would be like getting EX's now. I was pretty disappointed. He didn't even say thanks until he was done gaping at the cards, which took like half an hour. :(
 
I've never pulled an Ex or a *. In fact, in over three boxes of LM (in packs), I have yet to pull an Ex or a *... so much for coming back into the game...
 
No on all counts.
 
Ya,last time,i went to the store with my bro.I buy 4 packs of lm.then,i give him 2 lm packs.He got a mew ex and aerodactyl.My cards are bad!!!!!!!!.
 
I remember when I bought a booster for my aunt she got 2 rares while my booster cards were just ridiculous
 
jayh:Your aunt play pokemon cards?

B_F: 2 things. 1 - don't overuse ? and !, dammit... 2 - This kinda thing is PM material.
 
This reminds me of once when I went to the store with my friend to buy boosters (it was ex Sandstorm during that time). i bought 7 while he bought 2. I got mostly all crappy rares - vaporeon, arcanine etc. and he got a Gardevoir ex! Bummer!
 
Not really me buying a friend cards, but when my friend got 6 EXs in his box(first one by the way) he thought they were common and was mad about me telling him to get the box. Now he understands the whole jaw drop on that. Sometimes people can be ungratful for the nice things.
