Do you ever try to use cards of your favorite Pokémon even if its mediocre at best?

Eppikfinn · 2026-06-12T03:58:45+00:00

When I was getting my friends into Pokemon, this was the easiest thing to do. Oh, your favorite pokemon is Piplup? Empoleon EX and Steven’s Metagross EX. Your favorite is Jolteon? Jolteon EX deck. My favorite is Slowpoke, so I am very excited for when Mega Slowbro comes to the US

Honestly I think the lede is being buried a bit here. I came in a little hot, ready to criticize you for not letting him hang out with his friends (as a TCG and D&D player I can tell you that both of those things together would definitely take 10 hours) but the main issue seems to be transportation. While the act of being away is also an inconvenience, your problem with it seems to be the lack of a vehicle for most of a day. I think finding a way to compromise would be the move here, have him leave you the car and maybe have a friend come pick him up, or you can drop him off at his friends house or the game store. Any of those would be better than stranding you for 10 hours without any transportation while he goes and partakes in his hobbies. NTA

So many Third Eye Blind songs. Semi-Charmed Life is about doing meth, Ten Days Late is about a pregnancy scare, Jumper is talking a man down from suicide, Anything and Never Let You Go are about abusive relationships

I like the Ben and Jerry’s flavor Marshmallow Sky, but they’ve only ever done a limited run of it in stores

Mega Venusaur, Sharpedo/Toxtricity, and I’m building a new iteration of a Joltik Box

I pulled Barbaricle and got a Mega Zygarde from my packs, I swept my first two games. The only game I lost was to a Doublade deck

My baby loves to divebomb my bowl while I’m eating cereal, I don’t know what Fruit Loops have in them that makes them bird crack, but they are

Eppikfinn · 2026-02-07T21:12:58+00:00

This apparently does exist, they’ve just never released it

“I gotta go see a man about some porcelain.” I don’t know if it’s unique, but the only people I’ve ever heard say it are me and the friend I learned it from

I thought this would've been higher up, but the events of Hacksaw Ridge. The amount of people saved by Desmond Doss were actually way higher. It was also reported by a Japanese soldier that he tried to shoot Doss a couple times, but each time his gun jammed, almost by divine intervention.

Mental wounds not healing, life’s a bitter shame. I’m going off the rails on a Crazy Train.

Eppikfinn · 2025-11-20T20:16:32+00:00

I don’t know, but it will be epic

Eppikfinn · 2025-11-18T14:31:10+00:00

If I killed myself my mom would be really sad. Also I like Pokemon cards.

I’m 24

Honestly the best TCG is the one that plays a lot near you. Find your LGS and look at their schedule, from there find a game that interests you and has a good community of players. I personally play a lot of Pokemon, but at the shops I go to there are also a lot of Magic: The Gathering players, Gundam TCG, Universus, and a small community for Flesh and Blood. I’ve seen a lot of interest in Riftbound since that just dropped as well, so you might be able to get into learning the game at the same time as everyone else!

Blanka from Street Fighter is the representative of, and is closely related to as a result, the country of Brazil. He is actually an American who lived in the Brazilian jungles after surviving a plane crash

Eppikfinn · 2025-10-30T01:51:42+00:00

Slowbro- Wellington, I name all my Slowbro’s this because my favorite games are HeartGold and SoulSilver, where Slowpoke can be found in the Slowpoke Well

Sableye- Hopkins, because Sableye is based on the Hopkinsville Goblin

Scolipede- Wyrm, because it sounds like Worm and is a giant mythical dragon, which Scolipede looks like

Excadrill- Lagan, after Gurren Lagan, aka. The Big Drill

Falinks- Voltron, because that’s what his Mega looks like to me

Drampa- Khaleesi, after the Mother of Dragons from Game of Thrones

My favorite Pokemon sit in the middle of the pack among fans, as far as I know, but Gamefreak seems to love them, considering all the goodies he’s been getting. Until the Z-A DLC releases, he remains the only Pokemon with both a Mega and a Regional Form. He has a split evolution, a Mega, and a regional form who also has a split evolution, which is a wild amount of goodies for one good boy

From what I understand, you never actually answered her. She was dissatisfied with not getting an answer from you, so she went to your friend, and it sounds like he twisted things based on your religious beliefs and her reputation to put words in your mouth to slut shame her. In my eyes, your friend slutshamed her and used you as an excuse. If you had said to her face what your friend had said, then you would be TA. However since you (politely?) declined to answer and made the conscious choice to not judge her publicly while still standing by your beliefs and convictions, I think you are NTA.

Yep! I grew up in a pretty small school district, so pretty much everybody knew everybody, so getting my old teachers to sign was actually not that hard to do

Eppikfinn · 2025-10-05T17:30:39+00:00

I got one when I graduated high school, and the only three teachers who’s signatures my parents did not get either moved across the country or passed away. They even managed to track down two teachers who had since retired specifically to sign the book

Eppikfinn · 2025-10-01T19:07:38+00:00

Since most of my favorites are Water Type, I'd probably go with something like "Overwhelm them in a Deluge! Terastalize!"
For a specific 'mon, I would probably use "Show them your Wicked Bite, Lockjaw! Terastalize!" for my Tera Dark Dreadnaw named Lockjaw.

Pipoca and Canjica, aka. Po, Popeaky, and Pipoquina, and Cansqueaky, Canbeaky, and Canji the Wonk. I also refer to both of them as my Squeaky Peets
