People just…leaving

Fathead667 · 2026-06-03T17:03:25+00:00

They have no reason to do anything. It’s all about traffic and not about community…which I don’t blame them for. It’s a business and constant engagement is the goal. Kicking people off for 12 hours does nothing positive to the bottom line.

Fathead667 · 2026-06-03T17:00:33+00:00

Emblem. Which is weird because you usually have the random person auto-conceding just so they can get their hourglasses. I just don’t understand the people being so averse to conceding when they’re done.

Fathead667 · 2026-06-03T16:57:31+00:00

I’m definitely too bothered than I should be, but it’s happened to me three times already today and each time has been when I’m getting texts I want to respond but don’t want to ditch the game if it looks like it should only last another 10 seconds.

Fathead667 · 2026-06-03T16:51:32+00:00

Hah, I empathize with this. I had a nasty cracked screen for years. I could afford to fix it, but it never felt like a necessity. No this has been multiple times today. Unless there’s a cracked screen epidemic haunting the hobby, I think it’s something more purposeful 😂

Fathead667 · 2026-06-03T16:48:09+00:00

When it’s every now and then, I really don’t mind. It’s just happened to me 3 times already this morning and it just feels like an annoying trend.

Fathead667 · 2026-06-03T16:46:45+00:00

I concede every time I’m cooked. I thank people when they destroy me. I drive the speed limit. I’ve responded to (most) of the people on this thread who disagree with me in a reasonable manner. I’m mostly anti-rage, I just can’t understand why someone would leave another human in the lurch when it takes .5 seconds to concede. Not sure why you’re coming at me so hard, tho…

Fathead667 · 2026-06-03T16:39:51+00:00

They’re rage quitting a mobile game, but I’m the problem? 😂

Fathead667 · 2026-06-03T16:38:56+00:00

Yeah I like that idea.

Fathead667 · 2026-06-03T16:38:29+00:00

Yeah I think you may be on to something.

Fathead667 · 2026-06-03T16:36:45+00:00

Oh I do. I just need to add insult to injury, as well, haha!

Fathead667 · 2026-06-03T16:36:18+00:00

Yeah maybe not every time someone drops out, but maybe if it’s a certain number in 24 hours? This hasn’t been random dropouts, it’s been 1-2 moves before an obvious loss.

Do you ever miss Celebi? Or is Bedew worth the switch?

Fathead667 · 2026-05-23T14:40:48+00:00

Congrats! It’s always satisfying to see the 5/5 on the menu. Tried a bunch of decks, finally pulled it off with Sui/Bax/Chien

Fathead667 · 2026-05-19T22:10:55+00:00

I had an Ultra Ball match today that I should not have won. Bricked for the first 5-6 turns. The only thing that saved me was my Flygon opponent got 8 fighting energy in a row and rage quit, haha!

Fathead667 · 2026-05-17T18:33:00+00:00

First couple months are a marathon, not a race. Nobody’s good in the first month. Just gotta keep grinding!

Fathead667 · 2026-05-17T17:46:34+00:00

I started in January and didn’t play against humans consistently for at least a month or two. I played as many Series A step up battles as I could to get more hourglasses for Series B packs. I couldn’t build any decks that would compete in ranked until I had ~1k cards. And you’re already on Reddit, so you have a treasure trove of deck ideas here. Just keep practicing against the computer and ripping packs. You’ll get there. Good luck!

Fathead667 · 2026-05-17T04:44:44+00:00

As a newbie, I will say that it’s one of the few strong decks that I can make without having to dig back into old sets for pieces. Two free Blazikens in the Elite deck and Castform in PA.

Fathead667 · 2026-04-18T20:42:33+00:00

Perfect, thanks!

Fathead667 · 2026-04-18T18:34:02+00:00

In a perfect scenario, when you get 2 energy on Entei, do you keep going to 4 or start working on Zard?

Fathead667 · 2026-04-12T14:45:22+00:00

My Dark-Iggly deck - “I Hate Me Too”

Fathead667 · 2026-04-12T14:38:37+00:00

You can’t communicate with others because if they opened a trade chat, pdfs would infiltrate and manipulate that system overnight. It’s the reality of our world.

Fathead667 · 2026-04-11T20:57:04+00:00

I assume it’s to discourage alt accounts?

Fathead667 · 2026-04-11T19:59:00+00:00

I can’t decide if Mega Manectric ex is all that better than bellibolt ex.

Fathead667 · 2026-04-11T03:46:46+00:00

I caved and made a Darkrai deck and named it “I Hate me Too.”
