    Free Eldegoss V Full Art for PTCGO, Player's Cup III's Region Finals Live Stream!

    I tried both codes and got different messages. I am guessing the Eldegoss V had expired completely (based on its message), but that Boss's Orders simply had reached its maximum redemption amount (again, based on the message). Which is more than fair; I keep forgetting to watch the streams, or...

    Free Eldegoss V Full Art for PTCGO, Player's Cup III's Region Finals Live Stream!

    Which means it was not good until May 8th, like the article said. Oh well... more annoyed I completely spaced off the Eldegoss V until today. You know, the day after the deadline. XD

    Discussion Vmaxes, ADP, and the Terrible Power Creep

    Perhaps easy to miss, but after writing this post, I realized I basically rushed to the point which I've been trying to reach from my past series. I think you just have a much narrower definition of "support" than we do, as you're describing examples of what I am suggesting needs to be the...

    Discussion Vmaxes, ADP, and the Terrible Power Creep

    Feel free: that was the idea. :) I was breaking a truly massive hypothesis down into more digestible chunks so if there was a bad bit, or just a part that wasn't clear, it could be addressed. Let me stress when I say significant, I mean just that. While perfect balance is ideal, ideals...

    Discussion Vmaxes, ADP, and the Terrible Power Creep

    I normally try to wait for things to have slowed down, but I have a chance to further my clunky spiel, so I wanted to take it. So far I've tried to explain why: It isn't good for them to have any Pokémon types be significantly better or worse than the others. Fully evolved Pokémon ought to be...

    Discussion Alternate Format Ideas

    The lower the HP scores, the more likely it will be all about OHKOs. If that is intentional... okay.

    Discussion Vmaxes, ADP, and the Terrible Power Creep

    I've also played in older Formats that lacked a really good, generic gusting effect. It wasn't fun, because the Bench was too safe. There's a balance that is needed. Like I said, one possible solution is a Format where the gusting effect doesn't lead to a quick OHKO. That doesn't mean it is...

    Discussion Vmaxes, ADP, and the Terrible Power Creep

    As a reminder, Gust of Wind's nickname was "Gust of Win" in a single Prize Format. Gust of Wind debuted in 1999: we didn't get our first multi-Prize Pokémom until 2003. However, I think I get what you're saying. Here's my alternate take, and I think I've explained enough other stuff* that I...

    Discussion Vmaxes, ADP, and the Terrible Power Creep

    Mostly so I don't completely fail to finish up, here's another part of my ramblings. Thanks to all for humoring me in this. Also, a semi-major edit to an earlier post; replaced one sentence with another that - to me - are saying the same thing, but the latter is clearer. Especially as the...

    'Battle Style' is March's Set, Introduces New Single Strike and Rapid Strike Cards!

    So, probably not a bit deal by now, but I noticed some errors in the text spoilers: #1 Bellsprout: Leaves out that the attack does 10 base damage. #3 Victreebel: Panic Vine's cost is [G], not [C]. #11 Scatterbug: Leaves out that the attack does 30 base damage. #44 Electabuzz: Leaves out that...

    Discussion Vmaxes, ADP, and the Terrible Power Creep

    For those indulging my long-winded analysis of the game and how it (hopefully) pertains to this topic, some IRL issues are eating up most of my time right now. My apologies for the delay. For those who are not interested in my posts, enjoy the me-free time. ;)

    Discussion Vmaxes, ADP, and the Terrible Power Creep

    I am hoping the lack of follow-up comments means folks are just waiting. Well, that or they're just busy. XP I keep getting lost, because we're far enough in that there are multiple things I could cover at the same time, and a lot of overlap between them. So I'm going to cover something still...

    Discussion Vmaxes, ADP, and the Terrible Power Creep

    You can, but you're either getting away from where I was going with this. ;) Seriously, though, I'm just explaining why I won't be addressing most (perhaps anything) that you just said, but continuing on with my long-windedness. XP I didn't stress it as much in my previous comment, but I think...

    Discussion Vmaxes, ADP, and the Terrible Power Creep

    Okay I... forgot to check back in on this thread until I was yawning and nodding off in front of my keyboard. Go me. XP Let me try something sort of simple, sort of not. I believe there needs to be balance between the different types and Stages of Pokémon. Every Pokémon is someone's...

    Lusamine and Wally Unbanned from Expanded!

    Interesting. I was again opining on whether or not Wally should remain banned or come back two weeks ago... which was long overdue from a message board discussion we had here. That's how talented I can be; early and late at the same time. XP Stupid jokes aside, it is probably for the best...

    Discussion Vmaxes, ADP, and the Terrible Power Creep

    As someone who has been playing since 1999, I've been checking in on this thread from time to time. There are things being said that I agree with, things being said that I don't agree with, and things reminding me how hypocritical I can be, because of many long, long posts I struggle to read...

    Theme Decks for Pokemon TCG Sets Likely Discontinued!

    Thanks for the explanation, but don't worry; it isn't exactly "Wha?" face Pikachu in terms of pop culture penetration. In a weird way, though, I'm glad it saves you from four Dans being so frustrating.

    Theme Decks for Pokemon TCG Sets Likely Discontinued!

    Care to explain? No, really; I don't know these memes, and it makes me sad.

    Theme Decks for Pokemon TCG Sets Likely Discontinued!

    ...is that a good thing or a bad thing? My lack of social understanding is showing. I guess I am more confused as to whether you find it funny (bad) or infuriating (bad). XP I still believe TPCi (or TPC, if it goes that high) are totally missing out on how to cater to the casual PTCG market...

    Help Pokemon TCG Survey

    Okay. Though you may have to throw my response out; I mentioned in the survey itself that I transitioned from the physical TCG to just the PTCGO nearly 7 years ago. Though the most expensive card I purchased was indeed a physical card, from long before the PTCGO was a thing. ;)
