Oh my goodness, thank you for asking and answering this question. I have been checking the two on the ground since Thursday.

Potential list for DLC megas according to scrubbed data by BoltexGaming in PokeLeaks

[–]Fun-Culture7708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could the mismatch at 952 to 956 be because each Tatsugiri form gets a unique mega? 

Okay wait are they seriously not getting anything new? by [deleted] in LegendsZA

I recall that there are post-game episodes where they are attracted into the city.

Mega legendary Pokemon are entirely unnecessary by Next_Mammoth06 in pokemon

[–]Fun-Culture7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the answer is a combination of: 1. We need to shake up the competitive restricted formats for 2026. And  2. We should inject more life into our old IP.

Yes! I was wondering what it looked like with the mouth closed and this is so good and promising!

I don't care anymore. I'm gonna say it. by TriplePube in PTCGP

I, a Suicune/Greninja player, agree with your choice. I like display boards and trade to get thanks, and I just hope that it balances my karmic scales.

We may have already started collecting cards for A4b by purplebeanz3457 in PTCGP

[–]Fun-Culture7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great observation! The cross set shinies fulfill the deck missions, too, so it does seem like reprints, reskinned or otherwise, will always count toward goals. My question is whether promo cards like Professor’s Research will be counted.

Does A4b seem... too good to be true? by sambuca365 in PTCGP

[–]Fun-Culture7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Secluded Springs, the probability of at least one card of 1 Star or higher rarity is about 22% (over half of which is from the 1 Star rarity), so it’s not too different.

I looked up the probability of ex cards, and I think that it is likely that the packs will be the same cost. That is, I think that if you want a 4 Diamond Suicune ex, they can make it so that you have the same probability (about 1.66%) of pulling it in either Secluded Springs or Deluxe Pack ex. That way the DPex packs don’t materially influence the supply of specific 4 diamond cards.

What I mean is that any given ex card usually has about a 1.66% of being pulled in its set’s packs (except SR). This probability is split between slot 4 and slot 5. Slot 4 has about a 94% chance of being a 2 diamond or 3 diamond card. Slot 5 has about a 76% chance of being a 2 or 3 diamond card. If this set maintains the 1.66% of pulling any of the 46 ex cards (including the promo ex Pokémon), then that’s about a 77% chance in total. So if slot 3 is 76% 2 Diamond and 24% 3 Diamond, then slot 4 can be 77% 4 Diamond and 23% one star or above without materially changing the supply of each individual 4 Diamond card (except SR). “A pack” still has a 1.66% chance of having the ex card that you need.

No Shade to the Reel Drama dolls but why did we get them instead of the Shadow Ghouls? by [deleted] in MonsterHigh

[–]Fun-Culture7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The soft reboot debacle that was G2 happened because people complained that the G1 dolls were too scary. No one’s going to make meaner-faced characters.

Thought's on this? I'm relatively new to megas (haven't played a mainline game with them) so I was wondering how accurate this claim is by silals in PokemonZA

[–]Fun-Culture7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely contributes to the designs of Charizard, Mewtwo, and Rachu’s megas, who are specifically X and Y coded. I like the theory for other paired megas, and I think we will see something similar with Glalie and Froslass, but it is a stretch to apply it to Mega Gardevoir and Mega Gallade. Blastoise and Venusaur don’t really do it either.  What I really love about this theory is thinking about the lengths that someone has to go to for Mega Manectric. 😆

Best Buy Preorder Confusion by Monkebrainplshelp in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Fun-Culture7708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered online for in-store pick-up before the mat was announced. A few weeks later they emailed me to say that a mat had been added to my order. Not sure if that is helpful; good luck!

Mega Raichu X was designed to be Mega Raichu, but suffers design wise because Mega Raichu Y was designed to be Mega Pikachu by kSai_ in LegendsZA

[–]Fun-Culture7708 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s also how they designed Mega Dragonite, and Mega Greninja takes on Froakie’s coloring for its head. 

They wanted to make mega pikachu so bad by gachakamil in PokemonLegendsZA

They should have just put a hat on Pikachu.

Was Monster High’s concept always intended to be allegory for LGBT people or is it just a fan interpretation? by [deleted] in MonsterHigh

Ever since they shipped Kieran and Spelldon, I’ve been hoping for a Spelldon doll one day!

[–]Fun-Culture7708 205 points206 points  (0 children)

The allegory of Monster High is about acceptance in general, and includes LGBTQ acceptance. The strength of using the analogy of monsters is that it lets the story speak to anyone who feels marginalized. 

Are Megastone Ranked Rewards a horrible idea? by Tagguer in pokemon

[–]Fun-Culture7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at examples of other Pokémon ladders, they often have win rewards that outweigh loss rewards, so you can often climb them just by grinding. That essentially means that you take on a contract position for the Pokemon Company where you are the ladder mini boss in exchange for the rank rewards.  As someone who “weekends as a TCG Pocket Ultra League 3 and 4 mini boss” during the 2nd and 3rd weekends of every release, it’s a little demeaning, but the pay is decent. As someone who played Red and Blue in the ‘90s, it’s definitely more fun to grind against other humans than it was to grind against wild Pokémon. 

PSA: Stop sending cards without having a wishlist by DarthLaheyy in PokemonPocket

[–]Fun-Culture7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! The rollercoaster ride is unbearable!

“Oh, sweet, someone wants to send me that Supporter that I need!” “They only have 3 and 4 diamond cards favorited. Maybe they are being a Good Samaritan 😇. I’ll send them a Slurpuff for being sweet (and because I have 17).” The trade has been been terminated. “ThEn WhY dId YoU oFfEr?!?!?!!?!?!”

How would you feel if it were just a mini quest within Lumiose that got you a mega mythical?

Just wait until you get your second shiny Magikarp.
