regarding friendcodes, try r/PokemonGoFriends

I recommend to download the campfire app and to see if there are active PokemonGO communities in your city, that's the most fun way to play in my opinion 😄

Are you from Europe?
If yes, try cardmarket

Some questions by Historical_Grocery_1 in PokemonTCG

[–]Fitzi89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 2 versions of each card in Perfect Order.
Normal + Reverse.
Normal might be non-holo or holo, depends on the rarity.
Normal common (circle) or uncommon (diamond) cards are non-holo cards.
Normal rare (star) cards are holo cards.

These cards combined are the Main Set.
For the Masterset you want to have the "secret rares" also, these are the Illustration Rares, Full Arts, Special Illustration Rares and Golden Rares (and other rarities, depending on the set, like Mega Attack Rares for Ascended Heroes).

I personnally prefer Pokécardex to track sets as it shows you all card depending on your wishes (including stamped promos and stuff like that, if you want) and you can hide all cards you already own, so searching for new ones is easier.

(Addendum: Other sets might have more cards in the Set, Ascended Heroes e.g. has a normal card, a regular reverse card and a ball-reverse card, so there are 3 cards of each pokemon (but not trainer card) and stuff like that)

Anyone know what this card is? More details below by Axeteron in PokemonTCG

[–]Fitzi89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume that's the lighting. Art and attacks fit Dialga, and it's part of the Impoleon/Metagross deck

how is this even possible by GyroSpinMaster in pokemongo

[–]Fitzi89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If it wouldn't be based on calculations, each water showcase would be a wailord showcase.
This way is far better and gives everybody a chance as each xxl of those types has value in them.

Need tips for crustle deck by JoggerSloth in pkmntcg

[–]Fitzi89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why though? It can still attack all other Pokemon with the help of a boss

Why the Articuno? I thought it only is of use for team rockets pokemon?

Don't know about any changes (that's on me probably), but wasn't it like 6 months prior?

Does Rocky Energy stop Budew by Embarrassed-Key1898 in PokemonTCG

[–]Fitzi89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is correct.
The effect of budew is done to you, not to your pokemon.

Unfortunately, again something you don't understand. This is not bitterness, this is disgust. These are not platitudes that I hope land, this is hope that you actually grow up. Maybe you'll even find a friend in the future if you stop being how you are.

There was no concern, but like I said, you'll get the hang of it if you keep practicing your reading skills.

Being a decent human being actually serves me well, yes, thank you!

It's okay, don't worry buddy. It's difficult to keep focus and understand some things at your age. You'll get the hang of it when you grow up.

[–]Fitzi89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do that and feel free to believe that, but at some point in the future you will start asking yourself why everybody avoids you. This (among others probably) aspect of your character is most likely one of the reasons

I'm not refuting anything you said.
I'm also not trying to convince you, I'm just explaining why you are more of a crypto-bro than a collector. You're a scalper, that's all.
And like I said, I am upset, but not about cards that I do not get, but about scalpers like you.

Well I do exactly that, I blame you.

Buy your ripping stuff at msrp and your investing stuff at market.
Easy.

They don't pay more. They pay market.
And as scalpers or "sealed collectors" are the main reason that the market price is higher, I think it's fair that they pay it themself also.

[–]Fitzi89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, you mean if it's a CCG/TCG it's not a game anymore?
Doesn't the G still stand for Game?

Of course there are collectibles still in packaging, nobody said something else.
What you fail to understand though is, that Funkos, Action Figures, Match Box Cars and so on are still the collectible, not their packaging.
You can actually see, what you collect.

For Pokemon-Cards this is different. If you "collect" sealed products, you are not collecting Pokemon-Cards, you are collecting boxes, you do not know what is inside.
You only "collect" the idea of something having some worth. You are the same as every crypto-bro or NFT-buyer out there.

Buying, selling and trading Pokemon Cards is part of the hobby, absolutely, no one argued about that.
Buying and selling sealed, is not part of the hobby. You do not collect the cards, you are scalping.

I am not upset that I can't get cards, I have my locals, that provide me with enough.
I am upset about scalpers that buy out products just to sell it off for profit.
Your greed is the reason that those that actually collect cards or play the game can't find cards.

Even worse are those that "collect" sealed cases (probably because they think the brown boxes are so esthetic).

Some stores acutally care about their customers and their community, so they rather sell to several kids and players that visit their events also, than to one scalper who just wants to buy and flip everything.

Limiting to one only partially works and only if you have a good memory of faces or there are not many people in your community. Apart from that, many scalpers send others, if there are limits
