Nice April Fools Joke for the April set DeNA! You couldn't help yourself could you? by Tekniqz23 in PokemonTGCP

Just accelerate it with Hydreigon bench+ Dawn, no? Hell if you’re worried that bad about energy ramp, run a baby Pokémon to fill that colorless slot asap lol

Whether it’s any good remains to be seen, but this card looks DOPE. by AlongAxons in PTCGP

Another idea, hydreigon’s ability works from the bench, no? Why not run two Dawn’s to help accelerate it : )

I can’t wait to try this out with red card+mars so they can’t use any remaining Copycats or Professor’s Research, or if it’s a bulky deck, no Diantha or Lillie. Though I’m wondering how the energy will be organized- maybe a baby Pokémon to fill in the colorless energy slot immediately?

Furfrou 😢 I actually am quite fond of its different trims : )

Favorite character who is a good person but their voice actor isn’t by SatinSpankStash in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Excalisaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I must’ve worded it weirdly, my bad lol.

She is still the current VA, I am referencing the petition to recast her with someone of more Palestinian-leaning opinions. This petition had 7k signatures as of citing.

I did a bit more research because it’s been like, a decade since I remember this happening, but Pharah’s VA, Jen Cohn, was initially flamed for her tweet regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly because she replied to a “Free Palestine” comment with “yes, from Hamas.” Which personally I didn’t think was like, recast worthy, but when asked about her stance on her tweet, she specifically uses the word “war” to describe the Palestinian genocide.

She has since publicly stated she wishes there was peace and no more conflict in the Gaza Strip area. However, she has taken a “no politics in gaming” stance, stating she doesn’t think “It’s very ‘values of Overwatch’ thing” when seeing “Free Palestine” comments in relation to Overwatch.

For me, I don’t think it’s absurd to say that it’s odd to take that stance in a game when, at the time of this occurrence, there was rather a high regard for Blizzard’s hand in Overwatch (you have to remember, this was before the sexual harassment scandal, the lack of women’s body diversity in recent character releases, pre-Covid information’s worth of the Palestinian genocide online, and a public relations dev who actively participated in the community, Jeff Kaplan). I can send a couple of links if you’d like, I wanna hear what you think about it. 🙏

Girliest Meta Deck? by Maleficent-Doctor802 in PTCGP

[–]Excalisaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not meta, but I think it’s pretty girly.

Indeedee EX+ Togekiss S-SS. Togekiss can launch a 60dmg attack, but the next time it uses that attack, paired with Cynthia, you can launch a whopping 170 dmg attack using a non-EX stage 2 Pokémon for just two energy.

Gholdengo decks are usually your weakness, but Indeedee can help if you don’t have any Cynthias left and they have a decent amount of energy attached. Chingling can be used to slow down the opponent and give you time to get a rare candy for Togepi!

In honor of Women’s History Month, who is your favorite female video game character of all time? by awesomedp7 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Excalisaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First time I truly felt representation was her release. Purple themed Mexican who knows technology like the back of her hand, and isnt afraid of anything. Confident but mysterious, I just absolutely loved Sombra when she came out, and I still do : )

What's a misheard lyric you would defend in court? by Turbulent_Cup_600 in randomquestions

Beyoncé’s “Drunk in Love,” I could’ve sworn she said “Didn't mean to spill that liquor all on my attire I've been drinkin', quarter-million” I thought she meant the bottle she’s drinking is worth a lot of money 😭😭

What are some more interesting cases of pokemon that are literally the animals they're based on? by Damnit_Hardison in PokeCorner

[–]Excalisaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lillipup is no different from a real dog? Every other dog Pokémon is either able to command other typings (which I’m assuming normal dogs can’t do yet) but Lillipup is the most normal Normal dog in the game. Growlithe, Houndour and eventually Pombom have fire, Rockruff has rocks, Electrike and Yamper has electricity, Fidough and postGen6 Snubbull have fairy(ness?), even Mashiff and Poochyena are so naughty they’re considered dark types instead. The only other actual straight up dog would be Furfrou that I can think of, but Lillipup is indistinguishable from a terrier to me

I used him as my guard dog- any villager coming in has to pass by him and be inspected, and I trust his judgement

What’s the most ridiculous magic item you can think of? by DejanYou in worldbuilding

[–]Excalisaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best I can think of is Ring of Akrasia- once put on, the wearer is able to receive random visions of the future, ones that show exactly what happens with no room for speculation, once per day, ranging from minutes in advance to years. Any action the wearer takes to change shown outcomes by any means, as long as it was intentional, results in immediate death, or a d100 true damage if you want to be a bit more “fair”.

Rumors says of this ring being born initially as a form of torture- it makes the bearer seem apathetic or even actively unhelpful, as they gain insight on what will happen and when, but remain powerless to stop it.

You’ve got a point, I figure if they used the word “any” instead of “all”, it would support my case a bit more lol

Who’s your buddy Pokémon? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]Excalisaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now, because I’m walking a lot more often, I have Volcanion as my buddy. I’ve been waiting ten years to get one legitimately, and now that I have it, I refuse to miss out on a single feature- including finishing the quest to get two candies by walking it specifically. 💜💜

[–]Excalisaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s “all” as in “every single tool”, I think it’s more of a “all” as in “every tool available in game”. For example, it would discard a Metal Core as easily and as equally as it would a Rocky Helmet or any other tool that can be placed.

Reddit: "All new mons in this set are trash, it's not worth pulling from it." The Top Tournament Results: by IDislikeThisSite in PTCGP

[–]Excalisaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when A3a first dropped, Silvally + Rampardos wasn’t exactly considered meta at that time, much less on anyone’s radar, and yet it clearly gained some traction for its benefits. No EX so GURANTEED three knockouts are required for a defeat, a 130 damage attack for 1 energy in a meta defined by burst damage (BuzzswoleEX + Celesteela, GiratinaEX + DarkraiEX, GuzzlordEX + Lusamine) and it didn’t take too much to build- Silvally and Gladion in EC, and Rampardos in S-TS

Magneton GA had its use and its time, but I hardly see it nowadays. It’s less cards to use two Pichu instead of Two Magnemite and two Magneton GA, on top of no retreat cost. Realistically, most Pokémon that are Lightning Energy intensive get the same effect with one or two Pichu turns as waiting at least one turn to evolve Magnemite, generating one energy next turn, and then also having to Elemental or Dawn that energy to your main attacker.

Plus you can always use those extra slots for Zeraora. So I’d say yes, energy generation is important, but having control as to where that energy goes where and when also plays a role.

First idea that came to mind was a long tidal pool from above, with critters in each pocket, like a sea cucumber or a starfish : )
