RE: The "I pulled something cool" topic.
Okay, I love putting these into story forms, so here I go.
So, I show up to my pre-release yesterday, and I get settled, open my packs, Bottom of Darkrai & Cresselia. Not much. Out of my last to packs, I pull a Gengar Prime. Yes! And Meaty even went before me when he was behind me! (So happy! I plan to scan some for Pokebeach... if I can figure out how to use the scanner xP) So, while hanging around after hoping for someone to pull a DPL piece in the after draft, I see some guy has some Unleashed packs to trade. Knowing my luck with traded packs, I decided to trade for some. In previous traded packs, out of four Arceus packs (in a stack of about twenty) and a Platinum pack, Arceus Lv.X, Spiritomb, Honchkrow G, and Toxicroak G. Out of a random Undaunted pack (at Undaunted pre-release) an Alph Lithograph. Out of three Lost Link packs, a Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND. So, I couldn't resist. He wanted my reverse Twins, reverse Junk Arm, and a Recover energy for two packs. I took it, seeing no use (in my decks) for those in the short run. First pack, Kingdra Prime. Yeah! Then I see that he has some foreign packs: two (what I believe to be) Italian, German, and French. I set aside the French packs for Meaty and trade a Noctowl HGSS for an Italian pack. Guess what, Kingdra Prime. Now I'm pumped. Meaty trades for one English and two French packs. Meaty gets a reverse Rare Candy. In French packs, nothing too great. I, having a fun time looking at the funny foreign names, trade for the last Italian pack and (having German heritage) the two German packs. I pull an Italian Rare Candy and a German Rare Candy. The most funny names are a German Politoed named Quaxo, a German Seadra named seadra, and a Lanturn Prime! I'm on fire! I tell the guy that he should open his own packs. He says that earlier he traded a few packs to his friend, who pulled a Kingdra Prime and the top of Entei & Raikou LEGEND. I just leave, happy with my pulls.
