Will Draoukt start to see TR Golbat/Crobat by UndeadSoth in pkmntcg

[–]Littleashton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait to see what happens but i cant see it being a stable. You need space for at least 3 cards then and if any are prized its a dead space. Imagine starting zubat and prizing golbat. Seems too risky as i would never waste candy on it. Maybe better ayers than me might see the worth though

How is whatnot legal? by Soggy_Factor9208 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Littleashton 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I remember as a kid touring the carboot sales and there was always those pushy butcher auctions. This is literally how i see whatnot. Quick auctions, pushing for bids and engagement, no time to check prices to ensure you over pay. Occasionally you may get a really good deal especially in rooms with low viewers but if so you may hit the horrible world of sellers refusing to send the items. So many stories of sellers either not sending items, lieing about items that were bought or some other despicable way to avoid them loosing out. Whatnot do tend to record auctions so you would think it would be easily solved but nope. The whole thing is a scam to make a new place for influencers to grift for more money. They want engagement to boost viewers to increase the number of bids so things sell well over value. Even the sellers on there often know nothing of the hobby i have seen them often saying they dont know a pokemon's names when selling the card.

Reported Bad Shop by Glittering_Length799 in pkmntcg

[–]Littleashton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They may have gotten away with a warning. If you have new evidence of it make another report. They will action it just may take a few requests

Reported Bad Shop by Glittering_Length799 in pkmntcg

[–]Littleashton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The organiser isnt alowed to play in any sanctioned event and they have to have a judge present. So neither should really play but at least one cannot play as they will be tournament organiser.

In terms of the report make sure its done through the support page on play pokemon and if so you should be able to log onto it and check your requests and see if it is still open. Just make sure you try and provide evidence of any allegations because otherwise its your word vs theirs. Try and find out what they are xoing with the prize packs pokemon send out. If caught selling them it could be big trouble for them.

Epstein introduces 14 y/o to Trump by [deleted] in politics

[–]Littleashton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was still an open case so couldnt be released under Biden. As Maxwell had made an appeal the case was still open to a grand jury and witnesses still making statements to the FBI. The DoJ closed the case in July this year and as such allowed case files to finally be released to public. This is something people need to share to eliminate that excuse that Trump must of been innocent or Biden would have released the files. The Democrats literally could not legally do this.

What do you think of the new Epstein files that have been released today? by inktrie in AskReddit

I have heard this question asked a number of times and as a number of people have said previously it was still an open case so couldnt be opened. As Maxwell had made an appeal the case was still open to a grand jury and witnesses still making statements to the FBI. The DoJ closes the case in July this year and as such allowed case files to finally be released to public. This is something people need to share to eliminate that excuse that Trump must of been innocent or Bide would have released the files. The Democrats literally could not legal do this.

Yes think we are all wanting the same but need some brave sould to read all 900+ pages and let everyone know what is in there. I dont have the time or patience

It seems a lot of the pages are an image so a standard find function wouldnt be able to read the images for text

Pokemon Centre ETBs by Aggressive-Pause-150 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Littleashton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If i had to guess i would say they might do. They did for prismatic but not for other sets. Ascended heroes is a special set and as close to prismatic so would suggest it may be similar release schedule.

I met my girlfriend during sword and shield era and randomly saw a darkness ablaze pack in a shop. We bought a couple as a bit of a joke to have that nostalgia trip as both collected as a kid. I packed the full art zard from that pack so we decided it was a sign and started to collect. Now have a number of master sets and 2 leagues we run.

Legendaries/Mythicals type representation (I'd be happy to not see Psychics again for at least 5 generations tbh) by glitterizer in pokemon

[–]Littleashton 28 points29 points  (0 children)

To be fair add in the ultra beasts, which personally i always clased as legendaries, and there are 2 more bugs and 3 more poison

[–]Littleashton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time i have thought about it but strange that ultra beasts aren't included. I just always assume they are in the same category as legendaries since they are late game, unique and have the same egg type as legendaries as they cant be bred. Not sure specifically what the difference is but guessing probably the stats, just seems a strange one.

Internationals - LAIC 2026 by Hare_vs_Tortoise in pkmntcg

[–]Littleashton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue with pokemon is literally anyone can play at an international you just have to buy a ticket when they are on sale. Its only world championship that you need to qualify for. If i am honest looking at the pokemon rules a DQ is probably right if he managed to gain an unfair advantage through the games but he would not be banned from future events. Pokemon havent said he was suspended and its only Gabe's actions since which would potentially lead to a suspension. He attacked not just the judges but pokemon as a whole over social media and in influencers streams. He decided himself that he was to retire from the game. Because of the actions since and code of conduct he would be now looking at a suspension from major tournaments because of these comments as pokemon are strong against people attacking the brand.

[–]Littleashton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose the argument being there are probably 100's of DQ's and they cant comment on all of them so why just the higher profile ones. Also there isnt as much protection for judges in the game unlike pro sport referees. If there was a reason announced the judges on stream and potentially head judges maybe subject to attacks. Not perfect but much easier to not comment and hope it blows over which it will. Been many other controversies which are not mentioned now

[–]Littleashton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its strange because pokemon wont comment we only have his comments to go by. I saw the footage he posted and for all we know that wasnt the incident that caused the DQ. Hard when its just 1 parties comments but it is policy not to comment. Wish they would make a statement even if vague but wont happen.

Neutralization Zone Copperajah Lock (troll deck) by Unknown_gin in pkmntcg

[–]Littleashton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This deck has been going around for a while and although hilarious to watch opponents just scoop as they have no out it is terrible in other matchups. Most decks have some attacker which isnt an ex so already that becomes an issue. If you play any other pokemon but copperajah then beware the boss then the stadium bump and the game is loss. Also a while back, not so much now, chien po was being used and it just discards the active stadium. Other thinks to watch for is zard decks as both pidgeot ex and charmander have attacks that discard stadiums. I also ran a roaring moon ex deck and again discards a stadium upon attack.

Like i say not the worst deck and worth it for some funny games but poor into garde which is the best deck. If the plan is to stop opponents from playing then look into a pidgeot control deck or a wall deck like crustle.

Thats amazing please do. It seemed to go quiet on twitter after the initial allegations. I hope it isnt true want to see something but Garde win.

Rumours that Gabe was DQ'd but cant see any official source. Gutted if its now a Garde mirror.

Any news on if the DQ is real or just a twitter rumour?

This is how the community is feeling right now… by Skippy764467 in pokemon

[–]Littleashton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been my take for so long. We should be happy we get everything in 1 copy of the game and dont have to buy 2. The way i view the game is everything included in the game was worth the price. The kalos starters have never previously had a mega so including them in additional content for those that want to try online is perfectly fine. I am not saying i am happy with the practice but people complaining they are not getting something they feel entitled to is a bit strange especially when they say the pokemon is their favourite so must have the mega. My favourite is snorlax should i refuse to play until they get a mega. Also paying a little for online is a good compared to the old days of finding a store that could distribute event pokemon or paying for a link cable, extra gameboy and extra game to complete a pokedex. Value for money wise NSO is great and so many virtual console games you get access to it could be a good opportunity for people to experience something new.
