    Best set released so far

    RE: Your favorite deck As far as archetypes go, it'd be either Raichu-Exeggutor or Lunatone-Solrock, both during the Delta days. I found it really neat to see Raichu-Exeggutor succeed, because it had essentially popped out of nowhere and the deck made no sense until you actually played it...

    Opponets reaction to a win, or a lose, a top deck or a whiff.

    A couple of years ago at the Long Beach Regionals on the Queen Mary, my first round opponent was using that Rain Dance Feraligatr deck. I got myself a narrow won (we were both down to 1 prize) using my Raticate deck and defeated his Feraligatr with an Expert Belt-boosted Extend Fang, plus a...

    Next Destinies Sold Out?

    Here in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, most of the stores still have Next Destinies packs, but there aren't many left. There are a few that have clearly been tampered with (with the cardboard packaging ripped and the packs opened), so I'm going to declare those as stolen. I think...

    DNA, a card shop specializes in cards, specifically. There are a few around here; they get most of their sales through sports cards, like baseball cards. A hobby specializes in tabletop gaming. You can find figurines, dice, and playmats at a hobby shop but not a card shop. They also tend to...

    (1) 'Next Destinies' Set Analysis [2/22]

    Not me. But I don't play like a normal person anyway. Apparently, the easiest way to annoy opponents in a tournament is to force as many coin flips on them as possible.

    BW/BW2 I am a noob!

    If you mean in Pokémon Black & White, there are a few main places to train your Pokémon: • Nimbasa City Domes - All of the trainers there will have Pokémon between levels 61 and 68. • The Royal Unova - This is a cruise ship in Castelia City that's accessible in the evenings. The trainers here...

    Ruling Super Rod

    I only have 1 of the new Super Rod: But 2 of the old Super Rods: If I used the new Super Rod as a reference, would I be able to use the old Super Rods in a 2011-12 Modified deck? Their effects are vastly different, but the name of the card is the same.

    BW/BW2 The Simple 5th Gen VG Questions and Answers Thread

    RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread There are local multiplayer and friend match options that let your Pokémon be whatever level they're at, which means that if your Pokémon are at Level 100, they'll show up as such in the battle. However, if you're going for Free or Ranked versus random...

    No room for nonconformity?

    I see. So that's probably a pretty big reason why we don't just see a deck take a tournament by storm too often, huh? I always love it when I see the underdog succeed like when Son of Whyachi won the super-heavyweight division of Battlebots (being the only non-wheeled champion in the entire...

    BW/BW2 The Simple 5th Gen VG Questions and Answers Thread

    RE: The B/W Questions and Answers Thread Well, in online battles, if the Pokémon are below Level 50, they'll be at the levels they're at. I've seen a few of them. I'd presume the same will be for VGCs. As long as your Pokémon are over Level 50 (or below Level 50 if your strategy counts on...

    TCG Discussion - Please Read Before Posting in this Forum!

    RE: TCG Discussion- Please Read Before Posting in this Forum! Nope--its the red-cheeked Pikachu that's the error card and is thus worth more.

    No room for nonconformity?

    All right, I got another question. What do rogue deck users do to properly test out their decks and see what works and what doesn't, without revealing what their decks are about? If such a deck turns out to be really useful and powerful, the Spikes are going to adopt it. So how does one ensure...

    Where to buy in USA?

    RE: How to use Pokemon Shopping sites, and where to go. Well, what I mean is that it doesn't seem fair--it makes sense to cater to the majority first, but the minority should be served too at least later on. For instance, what is there that isn't Mac-compatible anymore?

    $4.17 Per Booster Pack at Wal-Mart/Target?! (UPDATE: $4.18)

    RE: $4.17 Per Booster Pack at Wal-Mart/Target?! By the way, around here, I've been checking the prices--both Wal•Mart and Target are now selling them just below $5. It's $4.99 at Target and $4.97 at Wal•Mart. I'm also seeing a lot of empty packages--that is, card theft from stores is going up...

    That's a glass plate, right? The first few times I looked at it, it looked like a metal tray...like as if you'd put your food on it.

    (1) Shiny Larvitar Download at European Nationals [2/20]

    Nah, I remember those days when Garchomp was absolutely monstrous with a Yache Berry. That, and the weakness-reducing Berries are so very valuable in double and triple battles, where your opponent is very likely to have a super-effective move against one of your Pokémon. I can't tell if they're...

    (2) Battle Strength Deck Keldeo, Announcement in 'CoroCoro' Next Month [2/16]

    Yeah, the idea is that Keldeo's visual style is somewhat similar to Lauren Faust's character design for Friendship Is Magic, which is a pretty big shift from any previous art style for the franchise. Thus, when people accuse Keldeo of ripping off My Little Pony, they're referring to Faust's...

    Wi-Fi Trades The 4th & 5th Generation Wi-Fi Battle Now Thread

    RE: The Master Wi-Fi thread This is probably a little different, but: I have a Karrablast with a Brave nature with perfect IVs in Attack, Defense, and Special Defense. I also have a Deerling with an Adamant nature with perfect IVs in Attack and Speed. If anyone wants either of them, let me...

    (2) Battle Strength Deck Keldeo, Announcement in 'CoroCoro' Next Month [2/16]

    Yeah, unless Delta Species comes back. Then they have types that don't make sense, but that's part of what made them fun. I'm going to predict that the Keldeo card, EX or not, will get a bonus if you have Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion in play at the same time.
