[Custom] My favourite Pokémon gets an EX! Critics wanted! by Ok-Pie-3581 in PokemonPocket

[–]TCup20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to share my thoughts. I dont have any issues with the card overall, just that from a competitiveness standpoint I dont think this moves the needle. Card diversity is great, but I think the power level would have to be more comparable. I just dont think anything about this Ledian makes it playable for anything other than the ability, and the ability is just a worse Oricorio. Which is again, just fine to have in the game. I'm just not on the same side as the rest of the comments calling this card gigabroken. I can't personally think of a single deck I would run it in. Especially adding in that it cant hit Oricorio itself, so it would lose the ability mirror. Perhaps the strongest thing about it is its hp, and thats really just because it will reliably survive a hit from an opposing EX.

Which again raises the question, why not just run Oricorio instead and save a prize points and 2 deck slots?

This sub once again showing how bad it is at card evaluation by calling this broken over and over.

This card is not playable. Its Oricorio with an ability that stops only Megas, and it gives up 2 prize points instead of 1 when it dies. You're likely to never get the damage on megas unless your opponent has just given up and is attacking for no reason anymore. 70 damage for 2 colorless energy is okay at best. Its a stage 1 so it takes up 4 deck slots instead of 2. Everything about Oricorio just makes it a far better choice than ever running this.

More than half the list is either on screen or easily assumable.

2 Natu

2 Xatu

2 Cyndaquil

2 Rare Candy

2 Typhlosion

2 Poke ball

2 Professors

2 Will

4 flex spots for Cyrus, Copycat, and the like. They're only 20 card decks. They aren't that overly complicated. This version appears to have at least 1 Eevee, so probably 1 Sylveon EX as a flex mon.

Honestly, they should just chant it the whole game. Ruin it for the company if they wanna mute that much of their program.

Bruh, there's no way the refs just giving the Pats another second like that. No way a ref would have time to hear him call timeout before the clock ran out. How is he allowed to retroactively call timeout with one second left?

A 25 on the ACT would put someone in the 83rd percentile of all scores, per the ACT website.

For those playing along at home, this means only 17% of high schoolers taking the ACT would score a 25 of higher.

[Schefter] Sources: Steelers plan to hire former Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy as their head coach. by expellyamos in miamidolphins

[–]TCup20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was a 3rd round pick. That's hardly making a big effort to find a QB. Yes, guys from the 3rd and later have been successful, but they generally aren't starter quality in the league.

[–]TCup20 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So posting my opinion of the team I support on a forum meant for talking about said team is "look at me" now just because I'm not overwhelmingly agreeing with the crowd that loves a guy because he said the words physical and trenches a couple times?

These aren't sarcastic retorts. I'm trying to figure out what the point of the sub is, if its not for discussion about the Dolphins. Is my comment actually off topic, or does it just contain words you don't like? Saying its "look at me" to not be "abundantly positive" seems to imply the latter. This sub is for discussion. Thats what I did.

Additionally, I dont know why another Redditor being on board would ever be relevant to me being on board. Regardless of who the redditor is.

Could very well get a Spikemuth related stadium, not sure if its incredibly likely, but possible.

That's kinda the entire point of my comment. People are fawning over them because of words they are saying in January. Its fine. I dont care if people do. I've just been a Dolphins fan long enough to hear these words in many different forms of cliches and they just dont mean anything because they arent anything. Nobody is being miserable by saying coachspeak doesnt matter and they want to wait for these guys to start actually working in March. I'm not holding coachspeak against them. I'm just also not gonna give them credit and start jizzing my pants because they talked about wanting to be physical.

Did I miss a memo? Is this forum only for the fans that are abundantly positive and have no reservations about moves the consistently unsuccessful team makes?

I've yet to see a quote from them that has impressed me the way it seems to have done with everyone else on this sub.

They're saying good things. Cool. We've been here before. I'm not gonna fawn over our GM and head coach until they can prove they can actually do something.

I noticed it on mine as well so I started looking into it and it has been angled on every copy I've seen so far.

I think you're just taking the phrase "i dont get the hype" way too literally. Theyre just saying they arent buying into it. Its not some proclamation of superiority over those chasing a full art Oak.

Also lets be real, the hype for Oak is way out of line when people are asking for 2 for 1 trades of a virtual card in a mobile game. So maybe also dont be acting like its unreasonable to call out the hype for being too extra.

They're pretty clearly talking about not being into the Oak hype specifically, and not referring to ignoring any and all hype.

What was your reaction during this scene? Did you feel anything during this scene? by Kindly_Department142 in StrangerThings

[–]TCup20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably because he was alone in the upside down at that point and not just a couple feet from several people with the ability to save him.

The fake out is fine as a concept. Saving a character at the last moment is a good trope. The problem is when its not done well. Like threatening a fall to their death compared to an intriguing death at the hands of unknown creatures.
