guys actually theyre doing 5d chess of scaring people off the hobby so that scalpers have no one to sell to which means they lose massive profit and stop buying and it returns to normalcy or something. Not super serious but i wouldn't be surprised if tpci prefers to ride this scalper surge and...

its ok ill screenshot this convo to share w folks and laugh about it later, productive enough to me

ill compress your arguments into one quote like this because it completely missed the point: yes theyre different pokemon, they're still concept reharshes. the entirety of unova is about soft rebooting the franchise and taking kanto concepts into the modern era, and that is reflected on their...

are you going to try to argue or even talk about your own likes and preferences on pokemon design philosophy or are you just going to be marvel quippy about random things my guy

i like egawas stuff but i feel like connected illustrations are best played in moderation. I'd rather have strong unique illustrations for each

lol why are you acting like saying theyre filler is insane. gen 5 was filled with pokemon that exist just because the team realized they needed a pokemon in xyz niche and they couldn't pull from their old library. Basculin for example exists because they forgot to add more water pokemon, so they...

i love unova but saying it and kanto are the only ones with solid dexes when unovas dex is 50% filler that only exists because they couldnt put other pokemon in the game is very funny. And I'm saying this as someone who likes those filler mons more than the "good" dex entries on average!! Alola...

they should assign every card an lgbt label. personally i think charizard is a lesbian 100%

this is gonna be better than 151 because unlike kanto, unova has actually good pokemon on it on a more serious note, i'll be honest i think those monochrome cards are kinda ass. the bw ones don't look awful, but i find bw stuff kinda boring by default, in the same way I think bw shinies are...

I know the current state of the physical tcg is pretty bad but i think its silly to compare the two when pocket is a digital product extremely easy to update and maintain lol. it probably gets less attention because of that, just commission artists to draw, ask them to send the .psd files to...

say what you will, i much prefer tera hats than seeing ugly designs like megas get all the spotlight. plza will be a rough time for mega haters lol

fairy type could have worked but also i think supporting a new type so late in the games life is always going to be annoying, much more so for the tcg than the games (who can retcon a bunch of things to now be the new type and have a good design base). i think its fair to want to pivot back to...

this card is mad cute. I like it

I think miki tanakas style is extremely cute and memorable, it has a storybook feel! this art is completely fine, and very skillful, but it doesn't stick with me. granted, I don't like garchomp so that may be biased but there's only so many "garchomp looking cool in a striking pose in a common...

these cards only exist because pocket exists, they are not being taken away from the main tcg. theres no "this houndoom full art would have been in the main tcg if pocket didnt steal it", its "this houndoom full art would ever only exist if pocket was made and the illustrator was hired for it...

I don't get the hate for pocket. I think the idea of "pocket is partially to blame for the scalper issue" is missing the forest for a patch of grass: tpci has had a keg ready to explode when it comes to this issue, and anything would light a fire. If pocket didn't exist, it's very likely...

I feel like the number of scalpers is too big to stop them. There's many wannabe scalpers that cant compete with the big ones so theyll use this event as an opportunity to grab stock. I wouldn't hold my breath

it's a bit surreal seeing the takeover of scalpers in places like america and some european countries while having pretty good supply and not much demand where I live. lower purchasing power with high prices means very few are buying etb so they're pretty consistently stocked up at game and card...
