    Where to buy in USA?

    RE: How to use Pokemon Shopping sites, and where to go. Collectors Cache is still not at the front. Was it forgotten about, or was it not considered good enough for the front page list?

    Pokemon Good sites for Pokemon toys and collectibles?

    I'm still looking for a reliable one I could trust myself. For now, I just visit import stores, since there are plenty of those in California.

    (1) Keldeo's Artwork Revealed in 'CoroCoro' [2/12]

    Me, I'm looking forward to plushes that'll come out. People will see them and think it's My Little Pony, and I'll say, "Nope, that's a Pokémon. And it came before the cartoon on The Hub right now."

    (3) EX Factor, Mewtwo Box, Bolt Badge Season [2/9]

    Darn, I've been able to find the V for Victini tins starting last week, but I haven't seen the Mewtwo things anywhere. I want to see it for myself with my own eyes first.

    (1) Electro Ball Mewtwo Wi-Fi Event in February [1/24]

    Would it work better if it was a reverse Gyro Ball? I see Gyro Ball used on some Pokémon like Ferrothorn.

    Do you play to win, or do you play to have fun?

    Well, I've made a few troll decks in the past--I'm honestly unsure of how to make a troll deck out of Fearow. I'm guessing you're supposed to use Repeating Drill with Victini's Victory Star so you flip coins for ages at the end of every turn. A proper troll deck, however, prevents your opponent...

    TCG Discussion - Please Read Before Posting in this Forum!

    RE: TCG Discussion (New Guidelines for Appropriate Topics - Please Read Before Posting) I got a question: Sometimes, the holographic cards I have get bent. I don't want them to accidentally become marked cards, so what should I do to flatten them?

    The Yoshi, Dodrio Mode is a feature in Pokémon Stadium 2 that allowed you to play Gold, Silver, or Cyrstal at 3 times normal speed.

    Do you play to win, or do you play to have fun?

    That's simple: To see if I can find more interesting opponents. I also strongly dislike undeserved wins, and I would think a lot of people agree with me there. Forfeiting from a winning situation without a good reason for it is just insulting and condescending. I personally find the most...

    Do you play to win, or do you play to have fun?

    Hmm, well that wouldn't be any fun. Nothing interesting would happen. Well, if done immediately. I forfeit if I find that I've run out of options.

    Mime Jr. (CL47) [2/2/2012]

    Reputation: I am unfortunately, not too familiar with Noriko Hotta. I suppose she doesn't illustrate too much for the Pokémon TCG, so that's all I can really say. Subject: Mime Jr. can do with a little more texture. Right now, it has that plastic feel that CGI will make on default; I've seen...

    Do you play to win, or do you play to have fun?

    The fun, of course, is when something interesting happens. It's not the destination that matters; it's the journey. For instance, during the last round at the Pasadena Regionals, I was ahead of my opponent who was using Gardevoir Lv. X (you know, the one with Bring Down). Then, Dialga G Lv. X...

    (3) EX Factor, Mewtwo Box, Bolt Badge Season [2/9]

    By the way, Battle City seems to function exactly like Lucky Stadium. Man, I miss Lucky Stadium because Imakuni? drew it. The artwork here is cool, but I prefer funny-looking stuff like Lucky Stadium. I mean, here it has Kyurem vs. Mewtwo, but Lucky Stadium had Doduo vs. Doduo.

    Pokemon TFG: Next Quest?

    You saw the empty boxes too, huh? With me, if they weren't empty, the back of the packaging behind the hidden figurine was opened to see what was inside. How come stuff ike Heroclix doesn't have this happen to them? Why are Heroclix buyers so much nicer?

    Pokemon Will Pokemon die out?

    VG Chartz is simply estimates. They're not concrete sales numbers. Wikipedia is a far more reliable source for particularly popular games, as they compile them only from official statements from the companies that make the games. By the way, Pokémon brings in about US$1 billion every year to...

    (3) EX Factor, Mewtwo Box, Bolt Badge Season [2/9]

    Agreed. The jumbo-size card is also a favorite among kids, collectors, and casual fans, as it's something big and impressive. Otherwise, they wouldn't keep making jumbo cards. This does make me wonder when I'll be seeing these in stores, considering there is still no V for Victini tin around here.

    Do you play to win, or do you play to have fun?

    I play to have fun. Winning is a distant second. Rather, I play to see something interesting happen. I'd rather lose an interesting match than win a dull match. I go to tournaments for these, as there are no longer any local leagues that don't charge for admission. I will always try to put up a...

    No room for nonconformity?

    Heh, reminds me of a time when I was ahead in the final round of the Pasadena Regionals against Gardevoir/Gallade, then Dialga G Lv.X showed up out of the blue and caused me to lose. In any case, I've searched around the non-rotated sets, and I've got myself a few ideas. Only once has one of my...

    TCG Discussion - Please Read Before Posting in this Forum!

    RE: TCG Discussion (New Guidelines for Appropriate Topics - Please Read Before Posting) Okay then. I can still use Pokémon Communication to swap out a Pokémon in my hand with half of a LEGEND card, right? (And there isn't ever going to be anything Nintendo officially releases that doesn't...

    Your Most Rogue Idea?

    I'd say the most successful rogue deck I made was one in the late 3rd-generation that focused on Pokémon Tools. It used Slowking (Unseen Forces) to search for Pokémon Tools from the deck and Quagsire Delta (Dragon Frontiers) to search for Pokémon Tools from the discard pile. It was pretty much a...
