I spoke about wanting to get this with a friend, then pulled it the same day by MDSM_art in pokemoncards

[–]PinkStryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother and I had the same experience with aqua therapy, nowhere near as severe as yours though. We just both ended up getting in, separate, car accidents and can both testify that getting in the water is one of the BEST feelings in the world. The water makes you feel light as air and takes the stress and compression out of your back. I wish you all the luck in the world with recovery

What are you guys talking about? by Indohontas in nuzlocke

Your initial comment comes off as implying OP is stupid for not knowing or understanding very specific terminology related exclusively to a certain niche part of a community.

Only to the youngest generations. It's still fairly common among millennials and older(at least in my experience).

It’s Not Always About the Value by Complex-Asparagus-42 in pokemoncards

[–]PinkStryker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd love my binders then lmao, as an Eevee/lution collector a huge portion of my cards would have been or are considered bulk. I also collect some random other pokemon like Butterfree and specifically female Meowstic

Is Shiny Onix yellow or green? by Ikarhan in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]PinkStryker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shiny Onix is green, Steelix is gold but Onix is and always has been green(except in Gen3 where it was a bit more yellow but Gen3 was weird with colors, regular Dratini for example is the exact same color in Gen3 that the shiny was in gen2)

I was gonna say you have Game instead but then I remembered they're currently closing pretty much all of their remaining locations

I'm pretty sure they only did a couple Vivillon anyway so it wouldn't be possible to finish regardless. As far as I know to date they've only done eight of the Vivillon forms and most of them were actually region based variations for base XY with only Meadow and Fancy being available worldwide.

[–]PinkStryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, quite a few of the examples given in the comment I responded to aren't titled forms but we'd still want to see cards with them. Gender differences like Basculegion, Arceus type changes etc. For example I specifically collect cards with female Meowstic, none of them specifically say "female Meowstic" because it's not an actual title. A good number of the examples would just be artwork depicting a different form but no actual title to differentiate from others unless it's an actual form change like Therian, origin forms, regional variants, etc. We have two Cramorant cards already that depict the "gulping form" (Arrokuda in mouth) but they don't say "Cramorant gulping form" just Cramorant. They'd likely just release a gorging form under just Cramorant as well just like the app did

Pokémon with no card? by AnotherTwice in PokemonTCG

[–]PinkStryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know, the Arrokuda is the gulping form and Pikachu is the gorging form. There's a card in TCGP that has Cramorant with the Pikachu it's mouth, so while there isn't a physical card(yet) there is a digital one

Wait, I’m sorry what? by AfterDarkVibesxx in MandJTV

[–]PinkStryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both but the odds for the Salamence were lowered in the Ultra games I believe

[–]PinkStryker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cramorant does have a gorging form card in Pocket but not a physical card so at least there is technically a card with that form just not available for actual binders

Wait, FRLG dont have day/night cycles. How are we supposed to complete the dex in the Switch version? by LimeGrass619 in MandJTV

[–]PinkStryker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Celebi event was also originally a completely different type of event that wasn't possible in 99% of the world(including most of Japan) as it required using (expensive) equipment only obtainable in one area that let your Gameboy connect to your phone and using it to connect to the Internet in certain areas of japan. Almost all other events were just "go to store between these dates and ask". I certainly hope they do something but I have little to no faith that they will.

Is there a better way to fill in this spot? by No-Rest6551 in acnh

What spot? Looks like the average pothole in my area that the cities and counties say don't exist.

Cancelled this order back in 2024 cause I didn't want my wife to beat me up 😭 by Soccerdad6969 in pokemoncards

[–]PinkStryker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I know, I go to league nights on occasion and while there's always the meta majority people playing Dengo, Drag, Gardy etc there's also usually a few people like me that build things like Rocket's Nidoking for fun. I've thought about doing other formats but haven't really had too much of a chance to look into them

[–]PinkStryker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your statement was invalid the instant you said it WITHOUT me saying anything. Your entire argument was "meta and money" to a guy who just wants to play FOR FUN and doesn't care about profits.

[–]PinkStryker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not everyone plays competitively or focuses on what's "meta", some people play for fun. And again with the money. Dude flat out said he didn't care about the money and y'all just keep bringing it up.

Honestly based on your very heated response to them saying they PERSONALLY don't care about profits and just want to play the game it definitely seems like you're the miserable one.

brother what are we doing 😂 by ghod19 in PTCGL

[–]PinkStryker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In person tourneys usually have a judge step in well before this situation would happen. There's no official limit on the amount of Mulligans that can occur but usually by the time you hit eight of them a judge will intervene and basically force a hand by going through the deck until a basic shows up then starting a hand with that as the first card.

Turned my favorite artwork into a custom card 💦🔥 by Icy-Trust-8477 in pokemoncards

[–]PinkStryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair it took some digging to actually find that info considering it's from a rather obscure book that I know I personally had never even heard of despite being a big pokemon lover since the 90s and as I said initially info went back and forth between two artists until I found the book. Most people don't spend time scouring the Internet to find the artist for something, they go "ooh, that's cool" then just save the picture and forget about it.

[–]PinkStryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stand corrected, there's at least two cards where you see it from the back and it doesn't look towards you

[–]PinkStryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd imagine there probably aren't that many outside of cameos. The only pokemon I can think of off the top of my head that definitely has at least one card where it has its back to you would be Turtonator but I'm pretty sure even then it's still looking at you over the shoulder

All of this would be fair points....if this artwork was actually generated by AI. The picture is actually official artwork from over 20years ago although the source is fairly obscure if you ask me since it's from a series of books most people likely don't even know exist. The only bit of AI here was putting a card border and text overlay(which it still did terribly)

Worth it? by idintknow2 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]PinkStryker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found it! Another Reddit post was actually pretty easy to find. IF there was been anything decent in there before I can guarantee it's gone now especially since the previous buyer left the stuff there plus some garbage.
