(4) False Statement Poll, Platinum Breaks Records, All POP 8 Scans, Platinum/Pokemon Podcast [9/16-9

RE: (2) All POP 8 Scans, Platinum/Pokemon Podcast [9/16]

I'll be listening to the Podcast in it's entirety in a little bit, but from the part I listened to in the beginning, it seems like this will be a very good thing. Nice job guys.

For the POP 8 scans, like I said before, I love the arternative artwork. Lol "60% at burning in the bonfire". I have too many Commons from past POP packs as well. X_X

dmaster out.

Very good podcast.

The part about liking Pokemon as an aldult really hit home.

I'm fourteen (not an adult), but about the time I was in sixth grade, I had to keep my love of the TCG a secret.

I remember that our league was in the local newspaper, and my picture was on the second page of the little insert, nice and large for everyone to see. It was awesome at first, but then it started to haunt me. My art teacher but it up on the bulliten board, for everyone to see, and I started to get asked alot of questions. The whole winter track team saw it as well, and I just had to tell them the truth. It doesn't seem like much, but it was really mortifying. I didn't realize how "unnaccepted" Pokemon had become in just a year to my age group.

(In fifth grade, I wrote an essay on my Pokemon and Megaman cards, which was accepted with nary a turn of a head.)

Well, to cut to the point, I am glad to see Pokemon accepted again by a large majority of the highschool. As much as I dislike this whole "scene" nonsense (if you don't know what I'm talking about, look up "scene queens." Only if you want to know though...), they have brought Pokemon shirts very mainstream again, which is only a good sign.

Here's to the future, Pokemon!

I was just wondering how the card scans were obtained? If they are actually card scans, did some League Leader just open a bunch of POP packs meant for the League players?

It says right in the news story...
 
RE: (2) All POP 8 Scans, Platinum/Pokemon Podcast [9/16]

Ok, I still find it hard to believe that that many POP packs were opened already by players to get a full set. The official start for the "Grass" Season was yesterday, so they would need a lot of people to play a lot of games in a short period of time to get that many POP packs. The only thing I can think of is that some League Leaders got their League kits early, I wont be getting mine until tomorrow.
 
RE: (2) All POP 8 Scans, Platinum/Pokemon Podcast [9/16]

Four people from two or three different Leagues and a few of their friends sent in scans. There are several Leagues that take place on Monday and Tuesday.
 
RE: (2) All POP 8 Scans, Platinum/Pokemon Podcast [9/16]

Ok, I was just worried that someone was taking advantage of the system and opening cards meant for League Players. I have seen it happen with other games in the past.

i know how you feel. about 2 weeks ago i went to target with my parents because i was bored and i figured while i was there i'd get some cards. well, after i grabbed a legends awakened and a majestic dawn pack, my mom wanted me to go with her to pick out "stuff" because she had coupons for any dove shower stuff. while i was over there, i saw a girl from my school and a guy with her (i assumed her boyfriend). i never liked her to begin with but after that night, i pretty much wanted her dead. she saw that i had the cards in my hands and she snickered something to her boyfriend. they both looked at me and started to laugh and walked away. it was mortifying. i was so paranoid the rest of the time i was at target, fearing i'd see her again or something, and even on the way home i was freaking out. i was scared she'd be the witch that she is and try to get the whole school laughing at me. she didn't though. then, i saw her today when leaving school. i normally walk around with an angry look on my face but i gave her a very ticked off look. i know this sounds completly stupid but in a way it felt good because she had a look of oh crap when i came by and i told myself that i was just being paranoid for no reason.
i try not to hide my love of Pokémon. i love Pokémon and i always will. i won't hide it just because some people at my stupid school think i'm immature for liking it. i mean it's my life, and i live for myself, not anyone else so if other people don't like it then that's their choice. my parents should be happy that their senior in high school is a hardcore Pokémon fan and not a drug addict dealing behind the school or something of that nature.

Good job everyone!

I really enjoyed hearing some folks talk unabashedly about their love of Pokemon.

Now, if you would kindly share where you got the music (in stereo it sounded like), I'd really appreciate it:cool:

My phone could use a new ringtone:D
 
RE: (2) All POP 8 Scans, Platinum/Pokemon Podcast [9/16]

I loved the podcast. part 2 please.

especially about pokemon being a fad and openly admitting you like pokemon.
i'm 17 and here where i live i get bashed for liking it by my siblings and fellow students.

I loved everything except i'd wish you guys would of talked about the current TCG set Legends Awakened.
 
RE: (2) All POP 8 Scans, Platinum/Pokemon Podcast [9/16]

I just saw the cards. They look pretty cool. I hope I can get some when I go to the store when they get in stock in a couple of years.:)
 
RE: (2) All POP 8 Scans, Platinum/Pokemon Podcast [9/16]

POP 8 = teh fail.

Although, on the plus side, some of the cards there weren't just reprints.

Try being much (much) older and getting bit by the Pokemon bug because your son starts liking it.:(

As an AFP (Adult Fan of Pokemon), the stares, the questions, the subtle or outright indignations are worse, SSSOOOOOOOOOO much worse:rolleyes:

RE: (2) All POP 8 Scans, Platinum/Pokemon Podcast [9/16]

Loved the podcast. It made all of you seem more real.

The part about the adult fan base struck a chord with me (I'm 22, started playing in the Red/Blue era). It's especially hard, because people at my church give me a hard time saying Pokemon is "evil." -_-; I just don't get it myself...

I noticed everyone was saying Arceus like are-see-us. I thought it was are-seus (seus rhyming with Zeus).

What was the song playing at the end? I don't recognize it from any Pokemon game I've ever played...
 
RE: (2) All POP 8 Scans, Platinum/Pokemon Podcast [9/16]

RE: (3) Platinum Breaks Records, All POP 8 Scans, Platinum/Pokemon Podcast [9/16]

Movie #12's scenery will be based (at least, in part) on Greece?! This is awesome! (All is according to plan... xD)

I loved your podcast, and I hope to enjoy more in the future! :D

And on Platinum's success... That's great to hear. I can't wait for the U.S. release... :)
