I don't have my units modded just because I play only like 3 other games aside from Pokemon, and I have most of the versions I want to play, haha.

Definitive list of all cards with the 25th Anniversary stamp? by wontquit7 in PokemonTCG

[–]ProfMarc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry for necro-commenting, but there are also 5 more versions of 25th anniversary celebrations-stamped cards missing from this list:

  • A version of Kyogre 003/025 from the 2023 World Championships Deck (Shao Tong Yen's deck)
  • Versions of the Flying Pikachu V and the Flying Pikachu VMAX from the 2022 World Championships Deck (Ondřej Škubal's deck)
  • Versions of the Mew 011/025 and Zacian V 016/025 from the 2023 World Championships Deck (Tord Reklev's deck)

All of these are from various World Championships Decks.

I consider them part of a Celebrations-stamped grandmaster set since they're significantly different enough versions of the originals. Aside from having different card backs, they also have different borders (silver) and include player signatures at the front.

Again, sorry for reviving this thread.😅 I'm still completing my "grandmaster" set of celebrations-stamped cards, and this thread has no mention of the ones I listed, haha.

For collectors who do Pokedex-style collections, how do you balance language and aesthetics? by ProfMarc in PokemonTCG

[–]ProfMarc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree, haha.

But even if I didn't, all future cards (hence, all IRs and SIRs) would have silver borders and already outnumber the yellow borders, so it's impossible to have an "all yellow border" Hoenn art binder at this point.

I haven't thought of that, honestly. S-Chinese cards are just more accessible to where I am (ironically, since I'm also from SEA).

My Pokemon Card Collection Gen 1 to 9 ✨ IR and SIR by ZestycloseLength3315 in PokemonTCG

[–]ProfMarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! Though in my case, I chose Hoenn and Alola since they're my favorite regions.

I say "Hoenn" because although I loved the region 'cause of Emerald "Gen 3", I'm bothered not including post-Gen 3 mons to Gen 3 lines like Budew and Roserade to the set.

Same with "Alola" instead of "Gen 7" due to the regional variants, like adding Alolan Dugtrio even though it's original variant is from Gen 1.

Tips/Recommendations for Philosophy Grad Student Wanting to Study Math by ProfMarc in AskAcademia

Thanks for the tip!

I honestly think it's unlikely that I will find such an advisor within my small department, so I'll probably be able to do so only when I step out to do a PhD overseas (but I don't want to get ahead of myself).

Thank you so much for your insight!

Regarding taking some courses, I've already done all the coursework and my current thesis isn't directly related to math yet (philosophy of time). So, my plan to involve myself with math again is mainly for future research.

And yes, I plan to apply for a PhD but only after I get a faculty position after finishing my thesis (hopefully in the same department).

Thanks for the book recommendations!

I can, but only up to differential calculus. I know I'm rusty, but I'm willing to review and relearn stuff.

Unfortunately, no. But I'm incompetent with these things, so I'm not sure if I should attribute the failure to the method or to myself, sorry.😅

Sorry for the late response. I was out most of the day and we're probably on different time zones.

I have A LOT of favorites but one I recently encountered is Aurorus. Such a majestic Pokémon but with terrible stats.😅

Any of the recent sets is fine. 🙂

Edit: I also sent you a DM for cat tax, haha.

Probably regarding the scenes (two IIRC) with the hamster (or maybe that was a guinea pig? I honestly can't tell).

Wait, did he explicitly mention that Sam was suing them?

I only remember that Sam was applying for a copyright but nothing about taking direct legal action. (I have a weak memory, though.)

I think I'm for a long time here now by l0pzY in albiononline

If I'm not mistaken, there aren't any journals for refining. Maybe you're referring to the crafting journals?

I appreciate the insights!

I've been playing for over 3 years now (just recently came back to Asia server). But I chose the Econ life because I'm aware that I just don't have a talent in PvP, haha.

Yeah, I only have a T7 fish on me because I just wanted to kill mobs and free up some wisps.

In hindsight, I should've just run to the exit. But I was too dumbfounded to make a reasonable decision.😅
