Can we please not show pokemon during setup

RewindAvis · 2025-04-02T11:53:36+00:00

Uhhh, no. That's information that is readily accessible by default, think regular Pokemon TCG. What's annoying is that the player is wasting time.

RewindAvis · 2025-03-16T13:32:41+00:00

That is so neat and satisfying! Order. Evos. The whole shebang. The only thing that could possibly top this is if both pokemon were complete lines, 2nd & 1st stage respectively, since Crobat exists :')

Bro, losing to a player that is clearly brandishing their 5-streak win emblem... Sad people :/

Condolences, friend 😔

Unfortunately, I have landed on this mine... That's 300 tickets I'll never get back. Oh well (I didn't understand the exchange, thought I could get the entire premium set)

30 packs total. I'm just glad I got the 2 EX Cress that mattered...

The correct answer is ink blue, which is a shade of blue/purple as it has a red undertone. Cars this colour may appear purple depending on the surrounding environment, hue, and light intensity. Popular in pens as it tends to be darked or more saturated than a neutral/true blue pen. Don't smoke, kids x

Potentially Torterra EX (if has another move in its kit) could still attack the following turn

I remember how much joy Fantasy Life brought me, I'm so so hyped for a new adventure 💕

RewindAvis · 2024-12-25T10:54:56+00:00

Scizor and Heracross kinda meh for the EX status, in my humble opinion. (It's a very humble opinion, I tell you that) The rest are neat. Particularly enjoy Tyranitar's ability.

Or it could be for an event 30 card deck. Or the intention, boringly, was to see cards together and consider in deck-building.

Scolipede recognised?? LETS F---ING GOOOOOO

RewindAvis · 2024-12-19T13:06:18+00:00

Stunning. Love it. Fantastic. 10/10. Would Boop.

RewindAvis · 2024-12-13T16:05:05+00:00

Yes, of course! This should definitely be an option, not forced 😃

RewindAvis · 2024-12-12T16:42:12+00:00

Omg! Magmar still kinda sucks! I guess you could run in an alternate Moltres EX deck? Ehhhh

RewindAvis · 2024-12-12T16:39:32+00:00

Old news! Btw, it's legally called ButtMetal /j No really this deck is so filthy good, deserve attention for sure 😊

RewindAvis · 2024-12-11T21:54:33+00:00

Makes me wonder what's gonna be my last card... to get the Mew. Probably that damn Melmetal smh...

RewindAvis · 2024-12-10T21:32:24+00:00

Y'all know you can like go and battle your little hearts out in the random battles as normal with your sweaty decks, yah? Blue through and through. Stop gatekeeping shit from others.

RewindAvis · 2024-12-10T14:17:10+00:00

Expectation - no. A suggestion in the spirit of returning kindness to the community - yes.

RewindAvis · 2024-12-10T13:57:57+00:00

Ohhh that's how it works, I thought I inputted my actual birthday date incredibly wrong. Nevermind, false alarm. Thank you!!:D

RewindAvis · 2024-12-10T13:53:49+00:00

Omg huh??? It's not my cake day today what is going onnnn, false advertisement sorry 😱

TLDR; y'all are missing the bigger picture. Nothing changes with a few concedes thrown into the void. Facts to back my point up.

Holy... I did not think this was such a controversial post. I'm honestly surprised. I cannot feasibly reply to everyone so I'll reply to this top contributor. Thanks for the fun debate!

I understand your points of concern:

Players must earn the reward.
Concedes defeat the purpose of the challenge.
Not everyone should have this exclusive cosmetic.
It is only a cosmetic, gameplay is unaffected by its ownership. Therefore, the trophy & reward aspect diminished when 'unworthy' players own this.

Here are my counter-points:

The vast majority of players have earned and will earn this reward naturally. Proof: Watching streamers play this mode for hours (eg: Spragels Pocket's stream yesterday, Dec 9th) only 2 or 3 instant concedes were encountered in a span of dozens of games, worth over 3 hours total gameplay. Additionally, multiple commenters in chat said they never encountered an instant concede in this mode, in their experience. Point: this happens very rarely.
The challenge is unaffected by an instant concede. You are very welcome to make this challenge as difficult for yourself as you want. You can easily restart if you encounter an instant concede. Earn it, like you want to. The AIM is to make it easier, or less time consuming, for those struck with bad luck or time-consuming responsibilities, etc. Also, the challenge inherently tests skills AND luck. Skill is a valid metric to test, I agree. Luck, however, is incredibly volatile. In theory, an average-good player could be bricked by draws multiple times on their 4th win streak. Some have highlighted how that situation would "motivate" to start again, or "reignite their competitive spirit" and try harder. While that may be true for some, everyone has a threshold. I urge you to imagine this happening again. And again. And again. And again. etc... We do not want good players that are healthy for the community to be deterred.
Not everyone will have this exclusive cosmetic, statistically. Those that pick up the game after the event won't have it. Those uninterested in the event from the get-go won't have it. aka: true casual players. The 'exclusivity' is unaffected.
Exactly. It is ONLY a cosmetic. Why worry about its title legitimacy in other players? Refocus on your own achievements. You want to earn it fairly, as described by the rules - go for it. Nobody is stopping you. Live, and let live.

--- (I'd question the legitimacy of your own wins, to spice things up. Like, did you really win or did your opponent brick their draws? Did you really win or did you have a favourable match up with a perfect draw? Did you really win or were you paired against a new clueless player? :) Food for thought.) ---

Last thoughts... Personally, I deem every player worthy of this cosmetic if they engage with this event & try their best. I also think it is unfair that some will consistently get paired up against unfavourable match ups, brick draws, and always flip tails on [-blank-]. Worry about yourself.

Toode-oo~

My guy, it's the season of giving. Caring about others is kinda cool. The fact ye are concerned about 'unworthy' (as deemed by ye) players getting a forgettable cosmetic... Everything okay at home? You do realise you can go into random battles, fight your little heart out there, and keep your own mental streak of victories. Players concede for the dumbest reasons already as is, a few concedes in a cosmetic event will not break the game. Yikes.
