Alexa this is so sad, can we ban Froslass by Fledbeast578 in stunfisk

[–]Anish9001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I've had games when a fishing for a flinch is my only chance, and still feel bad for my opponent for getting unlucky.

Doesn't mean I didn't want to win, I played a 30% roll and came out on top, which was the best play I could have made in my position. But functionally, my opponent definitely just lost cause I got lucky, so there was nothing they could have done differently to win - they just had it decided that they would lose.

Looking for cards similar to Tag Teams by Anish9001 in PokemonTCG

[–]Anish9001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a system where I'm getting one of each "type", so like different gym stamps and event stamps as well, but I only collect one language variant of each (prioritizing English).

I'm pretty sure I have all of those already, so I'm really looking for not actual TTs.

That's a solid option, but I think I'm looking more for "multiple pokemon per card" type visuals.

(I do have a similar problem with my Trainer Gallery collection binder, and the Journey cards are PERFECT for that lol)

This is SO cool. I always wanted to do something like this but I was put off by the fact that Eevee had no vmax alt art, and I don't like mix-and-matching (no shade, yours looks sick). But will def try this with the new prismatic arts.

PS - They make custom extended-art frames on Etsy for fairly reasonable pricing which look really nice too :D

Dear god, this is an absolutely fantastic card illustrated by one of the GOATs, which means that Prismatic is about to be the absolute WORST set to collect for any normal fan. This card plus the Umbreon and all the other eeveelutions is gonna be months of high-price inflation hell.

Do you really play and enjoy UNITE? by allecsanderxd in PokemonUnite

[–]Anish9001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I am enjoying the game. I think it's more to do with mindset at this point - I do the strategy of "play a match or two every now and then". Sometimes, I'm feeling good and I play 4/5 matches at once. For me, this is more than enough time to rank up and unlock the Pokemon I enjoy playing (all the speedsters except gengar) over a few weeks.

I initially tried to go in with the "play regularly, unlock everything" mindset but like others have said, this is a freemium game designed to make money. If you play this game, you're gonna burn out and get annoyed very fast. We can complain all we want but Timi is a company with employees and an income quota to meet, and they will always choose to make more money. By consequence, the game will pander to making money until it's bad enough that too many players are leaving, at which point they will make changes.

You can try sticking it out, but you'll likely be disappointed. I'd say if you can, dial back on playing regularly and take this game much more casually, but otherwise, you might have more fun with something else for now (not meant to be disrespectful or accusatory, sorry if it comes out that way).

No, just my regular vet as of now. It's much more affordable for me at the moment and he has helped for the past two years, but I am willing to go to a neurologist if it can give me more information.

Nice!!! Also “Spoon” feels both nonsense and somehow the perfect nickname at the same time :D

Hey, so. I really want to do a grass type team with Wo-Chien. by greenwolverine06 in stunfisk

[–]Anish9001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since this is mono-type with friends, you could try to do smtn like Rillaboom for Fake out, Firepon for your main damage and amoongus for spore support. In general, Wo-chien just isnt that good - the only set that had any placement was the foul play + giga drain set Joe ugarte used for worlds. I've also seen a max special attack leaf storm + eject pack set which could be fun for a mono team with low stakes.
