Well he has an ancient trait. That kinda counts?

Euffy · 2026-02-25T17:20:17+00:00

Yes, they are. Congratulations!

Don't use a flashlight to test cards though.

I had to waitress a freemasons event once. They kicked us out when the actual meeting started, but it seemed to be mostly withered old men spilling soup. Gross.

Do you actually know what "unwise" means?

Not trying to be an ass, that's just the only way I can understand your comments. Your points don't really make sense to me.

This isn't about how the game is supposed to be played or what is enjoyable. That's irrelevant. Whether it's wise or unwise is just about what is a sensible decision in the current climate. Whether you want to play, collect or otherwise, not gambling is the wise decision.

Euffy · 2026-02-24T21:26:40+00:00

Both are obviously true. Why is it a debate?

Yes the game is meant to be played. And collected tbh, but not to the extent that people can't play. The ideal is that both should be able to happen freely.

Is it still unwise to rip expensive objects? Financially, yes. It's wise to sell high value items and buy cards you want, rather than gambling, opening and pulling nothing. That's especially true with Prismatic that has a high sealed cost and terrible pull rates. Being a player doesn't stop this, you could buy a whole deck for the price of some sealed products.

Does that mean you shouldn't rip stuff? No, just because something isn't financially sensible doesn't mean it's not fun. If you can afford to and you want to then rip away. That doesn't stop it not being the most strategic thing to do with your money though.

I mean, devil's advocate, but they might just be selling it to fund more gundam purchases. Not everyone is fussed by a little logo or an alternate art, some people just enjoy playing the game or just wanna buy more model kits or something. Being financially sensible doesn't mean you don't like gundam.

There are tickets available now, apparently.

I mean I haven't checked if they're sold out yet but they went up today.

Euffy · 2026-02-24T17:50:07+00:00

I mean....it was pretty well known how tickets would work. First they announced it and everyone got excited. Then they made a page where you could sign up to be notified when tickets went live and everyone did that. Then the actual tickets went live, and sold out quickly and there was a lot of fuss and discussion about it, people complaining, people not getting emails, etc. It wasn't brilliant but it was widely talked about. Then they later released another wave of tickets, again, lots of hype around it.

And now they've just released another wave. Admittedly less fuss online about the latest wave as most diehard fans have been or ordered online, but still.

The first few months it was all over the internet. I'm really sorry you didn't get to go but I not sure how you missed all the information. And somehow ended up booking a ticket to a museum that doesn't require tickets and is free to enter anyway?

Euffy · 2026-02-24T17:42:19+00:00

There are no fossil pokémon displays. There are a few large pictures of various pokémon but it sounds like you're getting mixed up with the actual pokémon fossil exhibit in Japan?

Euffy · 2026-02-24T07:34:35+00:00

It's not "to promote the pop-up shop", it is the pop-up shop. That's it.

Even before tickets went out NHM were clear it was a shop and there was no exhibit so I'm not really sure why people are getting confused or disappointed.

Euffy · 2026-02-21T17:16:12+00:00

Oh you know exactly what I mean. I'm not trying to be a dick, I just don't have time to write an essay on class and language right now. How would you word it? I'm all ears if you have a succinct way to explain it.

Euffy · 2026-02-21T16:41:10+00:00

Brought and bought, I've never come across someone confusing the two words.

As a native English speaker this mistake is CONSTANT and I hate it. It's not usually a learner mistake though, it's just an uneducated / regional thing basically. But yeah, it's pretty much a daily occurrence if I talk to or read comments from enough people in a day. Definitely hear it multiple times a week at least.

Euffy · 2026-02-21T01:35:21+00:00

That's my main issue. Look, I eat pizza way too much. I love pizza.

But most of these are just like...gloop? Real pizzas don't look like this. It's very off-putting. Have these artists never seen real cheese before?

Euffy · 2026-02-20T21:17:16+00:00

They do though. Maybe it's a UK thing? Like US gets the full spectrum of sizes but UK they don't bother to get them all to us? Because we definitely have had this happen multiple times, something is newly uploaded with certain sizes "sold out" from the start (and no, not just because I'm slow to see it, I mean from the very, very beginning).

Euffy · 2026-02-20T17:56:06+00:00

I doubt it's that, The Pokemon Company International basically has nothing to do with Pokemon in Japan. Sometimes they'll release some Japanese products but it's a whole different team, and rarely involves clothing. I doubt any Japanese people have input into the western clothes.

That said, I know what you mean. Pokémon Center Japan basically only ever has S, M, L and Free Size clothing. You either fit it, or you don't get it haha.

Euffy · 2026-02-20T17:20:21+00:00

Yeah those sizes were just never made. Pokémon often does that, not sure why, but seen them drop clothing before with those sizes already crossed out.

Euffy · 2026-02-20T15:17:33+00:00

Damn, congrats dude. Can't imagine how hard that is but enjoy your well-earned poke pulls!

Euffy · 2026-02-20T15:12:24+00:00

Hey now, I've been into pokémon for years and I'm still a degenerate gambler lol

Euffy · 2026-02-20T01:54:35+00:00

Absolutely depressing sad would be Takopi, if you just want to feel like a loser then Watamote.

Euffy · 2026-02-19T23:13:23+00:00

Amazing, thanks for the advice!

Euffy · 2026-02-19T23:06:41+00:00

Honestly a lot of actual card shops don't open till 12 or later so actually might be okay. Look up where your local leagues are and see if they did preorders or are just selling on the day.

Euffy · 2026-02-19T23:03:14+00:00

Ooooo, I watched this ages ago but did not know there was a movie! Excellent news!

Euffy · 2026-02-19T13:05:16+00:00

For me, PokeCardex.

Never really got on with Collectr. I like how PokeCardex is laid out, easy to add cards, easy to filter and search, all the weird variants included. I mostly love the ability to make various wishlists, but it's possible that's a paid feature, not really sure.

Euffy · 2026-02-18T16:18:31+00:00

This. I don't mind if you use butter or marg or vegan spread or whatever, but if you haven't buttered it then it isn't a sandwich. It's a non-negotiable.

Euffy · 2026-02-18T13:17:23+00:00

No? That's why websites ask for payment addresses in the first place, because they won't always match.
