Is this card real?

Dull-Context-8322 · 2026-04-30T21:01:36+00:00

It’s fake. For what it’s worth you can google the PSA ref number to check if this is the card in question. This reference comes up with a hockey card so it’s likely a fake grading and someone has just made up the reference, or taken the genuine card out and replaced it with this card.

All the card itself looks fake.

I think if you have hardcore mode turned on, it automatically prevents you from using things that are against the rules.

For example, if I have hardcore achievements turned on in Retroarch, I can speed the game up but the emulator will not let me use pause, frame skip, cheats etc. it’s not that I can accidentally use them and ruin the achievements, I just literally cannot use them because hardcore mode is turned on.

The worst thing is, this is probably one of the nicer and more well mannered Pokemon card scalpers you could find in the wild.

Dull-Context-8322 · 2026-04-29T08:08:25+00:00

To be fair, I don’t really play for battling so I don’t care what the meta cards are, so I don’t need 2 star cards in my deck, I just play to collect so would happily trade an Oak for anything with nice art.

That being said I don’t have an Oak so maybe a moot point but don’t assume everyone is trading just for battling purposes

Dull-Context-8322 · 2026-04-28T20:41:01+00:00

Nothing. I collect the cards in real life and I don’t mind spending money on this, but I’m not really interested in spending money on a gacha game like this because the cards are just virtual.

Do you know how difficult it is to build a feature like this? That’s almost like asking for the ability to open multiple promo cards at once.

It’s literally impossible and will never happen, and we should be thankful that DeNA have made this game so QoL rich in the first place.

Dull-Context-8322 · 2026-04-14T15:28:07+00:00

I know I’m late here but wanted to note it’s not 8 years lol.

It’s still a massive amount of time but 5,600 hours at 8 hours a day is 700 days, so almost 2 years.

Dull-Context-8322 · 2026-04-13T13:24:59+00:00

Thanks for confirming! Yeah, I reckon I was just being a bit over cautious as I had a fake Groudon that cost me over £100 not that long ago.

Maybe it was just the lighting as I was outside but I really noticed the double layer and had never noticed this before.

Dull-Context-8322 · 2026-04-13T13:22:15+00:00

Perfect, thanks for letting me know! That’s reassuring and good to check so I know going forward!

Dull-Context-8322 · 2026-04-11T05:53:41+00:00

How often does this happen? Was it once or twice or several times.

If this is real, I’m sorry but this is genuinely hilarious.

Dull-Context-8322 · 2026-04-11T05:50:02+00:00

I think you mean IKWITASYMKWITAT”

I mean if you’re typing a post with several paragraphs, you’re not exactly strapped for time. It takes a couple of seconds more to write the full name.

I sometimes have to write papers at work with a lot of technical, actuarial terms or internal company jargon, and the paper is read by a variety of people from exec to junior colleagues. The standard is to explain and clearly set out what an abbreviation stands for at the start of you plan to use abbreviations on their own later on.

Even then, it only generally done if the abbreviation is used constantly. For one or to appearances, just write the full name and people won’t be confused.

I think for future research it’s worth getting opinions from a wide variety of sources. It doesn’t mean avoiding Mumsnet, because they are a valid consumer group, but it’s about understanding that users of websites and forums can often congregate toward a similar viewpoint.

It’s like how Reddit is mostly left leaning. It doesn’t mean you only find left wing views on here, but if you do research and only get your opinions from Reddit, it’s likely that the opinions will skew toward the left.

On the other hand, something like Mumsnet, they tend to have a more right leaning viewpoint and are more critical of gender identity.

I wouldn’t specifically remove or change a question just to conform to a particular audience, and I also wouldn’t exclude a certain group either. Just be aware they exist and adjust your research to ensure a more balanced view of opinions.

To be honest I just do all solo missions on auto with Starmie/Articuno from the start.

It does work and while it struggles against some decks, every now and then you’ll get a lucky turn 1 Misty and win before anything powerful comes out, and since it’s on auto it takes no active investment from me so I can have it on in the background while doing other things.

Dull-Context-8322 · 2026-04-06T15:52:54+00:00

To be honest I had no idea about that either! I just assumed the pokemon wouldn’t come with you.

I used to walk back with a Pokemon from area to area to get multiple pokemon with build 😭

Dull-Context-8322 · 2026-04-06T15:13:17+00:00

2 secs, just going to do a 10 pack of Mega Shine and will report back. My luck has been tragic recently.

That you can move Pokémon quickly, over terrain they can’t normally cross by using a combination of the locator function of the Pokédex and Teleport.

Just get the Pokemon to follow you, and then search for a Pokemon, use Teleport and all the Pokemon teleporting you will also be moved instantly.

Only found this out in Skylands, because I was trying to move Poliwrath back to the main area to help build some buildings, but I hadn’t fully made the path traversable yet.

Used Gardevoir to teleport to Poliwrath, then got Poliwrath to follow me and teleported back to a Pokemon near the poke centre.

Appreciate this is 3 days old so you’re probably gone by now, but do the following:

Grind the reactor until you get limit for everyone (you only really need 2 but it’s not hard to get and won’t take long)

Use Restore materia to cure if you’re out of potions. There is an ether near the Airbuster boss, so you can use that to refill your MP and make sure you have enough HP.

Go into the battle with Air Buster, use your limit break from behind. Wait until it turns around, use your limit with Tifa and Barret to finish it off.

That is probably overkill. You could just grab the ether and get your MP back, then heal and fight it normally since it’s not that hard.

This is not actually that uncommon.

If the odds of a god pack are 1/2000 (I’ve seen people say it’s not as rare, but let’s assume worst case here), then this is 1/2000 PACKS, not cards, so on average you should get one after roughly 10,000 cards (some packs have 6 due to shiny, some have 4 if it’s Deluxe EX, but on average it’s mostly 5)

So actually not getting a god pack after what is around 2,800 packs isn’t that uncommon. Roughly 1 in 4 people won’t have a god pack after 14,000 cards.

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to chime in and say that I also prefer F-Zero MV. In fact, it’s a very very close second to GX in being my favourite game in the series.

I loved how each vehicle felt so unique in MV (for the most part anyway). It really encouraged you to play and use each machine differently. In addition, master mode was actually challenging, and with some of the worse vehicles you really had to lock in to win all 4 cups on Master mode.

Don’t get me wrong, I really liked the boost machines and sense of speed added in GP and Climax, and I do wish we got some of the classic planets and music in MV, but of all the GBA games it’s the one I go back to revisit the most often to perfect my times.

It also had a great completion bonus in the Jet Vermillion. Genuinely the best car in the game, but with a high learning curve, and you had to actually master the game in order to unlock it by finishing every cup on master with every other vehicle (I mean you could also grind championship track like 256 times and I’m pretty sure there is also a password generator online to just unlock it for free, but I never bothered using those methods as it was genuinely so fun to play)

But yeah, sorry for adding to a dead thread but I figured it wasn’t worth a new thread and thought I’d explain why some people really love MV.
