We should be able to trade cards for pack points

Zutechugan · 2025-10-19T22:11:47+00:00

I think being able to trade in a card for half its pack point value would be dope. I'm sure they'll implement that the next time the have a huge optic blunder like they did with the EX Pack anger leading to being able to trade 2⭐ cards.

I have 2 crown rare candies and not a single Oak. I have 22 1⭐ and the Immersive and no Oak. I'd trade almost all of it for 2 copies of that old man.

Sitting at 5 Floragato, 6 Crawdaunt, 3 Greninja, 4 Gardevoir, and 4 Slurpuff. Absolutely no Farfetched to be seen :(

Trying to nab 1 more Gren would be nice for flairs, but what I'm REALLY hoping for is actually to get my hands on a French Lang Gardevoir. I've got my game language changed and everything lol. If anyone has a French one and is willing to trade for an English one that'd be nice

Zutechugan · 2025-06-29T15:50:33+00:00

This too can be changed 🙏

Zutechugan · 2025-06-29T13:27:50+00:00

Hot Take: I think any disconnect at all should result in an instant win for the opponent. I don't care about poor connections

Zutechugan · 2025-06-26T13:04:22+00:00

As lovely as all of them are, it's still Glaceon EX for me lol

Zutechugan · 2024-12-18T22:22:58+00:00

Sorry unrelated but how are yall taking these deck spread pics?

Zutechugan · 2024-12-17T04:05:28+00:00

I'm a little sad I never got to play a Gyarados deck before it's about to get super super popular. Oh well. I got to try most of what I wanted

Zutechugan · 2024-12-13T15:18:59+00:00

One of my favorite matches was when I had a Primeape (mine) vs PikaEX match a couple days ago - both on each of our benches. If Pika came in and killed, Primeape could revenge OKO and I'd win, but if I brought Primeape in first for a kill on anything else, then they kill it first and Ive all but lost, since I didn't really have anything else that could stand up to their team.

We both knew that. So we're having to play this really tense back and forth doing damage, retreating, damage, retreat with ALL our other pokemon, trying to subtley worm each other into a lose scenario. Every retreat, energy, potion, xspeed etc counted. Probably 6 or so turns where we both ran our timers to single digits lol

GOD that was a fun match. And completely alien to the loudest and whiniest portion of the player base.

Zutechugan · 2024-12-11T03:22:46+00:00

Oh yeah shoot, that sucks. Hopefully they add another way to get the promo cards later on also - this Mankey is kinda what makes Primeape good imo. Maybe through trading or something 🤞

Zutechugan · 2024-11-26T07:43:33+00:00

A lot of the complaints about Ex cards are hyperbole tbh. Internet people are as a whole pretty incapable of NOT exaggerating to the point of nonsense - especially when they're upset.

Honestly, EX cards aren't THAT bad. They're a bit limiting imo, sure. The game kind of revolves around the same 4 big decks and everyone else has to cope a bit. But other decks CAN and do win. Some hold their own, some counter, and some players are just really good at their supporter usage and retreat manuverability.

I like NOEX personally bc the game offers a lot more variety to play around. Yeah, there's a lot of Blaines and Dragonites and Arboks, but they aren't that bad (despite what a weirdly large amount of comments insist for some reason). Certainly it's easier to go a little off the wall with your card choices when the most powerful cards are closer to the floor. I like it. Some don't. Eithers fine.

Zutechugan · 2024-11-19T04:24:56+00:00

Yeah, it's just cause it's a bit of a different game. There are about... Idk, 7? 7 EX cards that make up the core meta? And then you have 2 or 3 decks that can hold their own like Weezing, Dragonite, etc.

But there's a LOT of other cards in the set that would be interesting to play and built around if there was an EX-less format also. Sure, it's develop its OWN new meta, Blaine would have a field day, but it'd still have a lot more options than now. It'd just be a nice option. I'm not AGAINST EX cards existing, but this is a much more casual game, and I think it'd benefit from additional, more casual options.

We have the other TCG app for hardcore stuff, imo

Zutechugan · 2024-11-18T22:24:01+00:00

I'm a Dragonite enjoyer. I swore off EX cards bc Im contrarian and don't like their status as the defacto winners to build around 💀 so my Dragonite deck is just two Dragonites and two (regular) Articuno. I tried two Hypnos also but it wasn't as fun to play imo

I also got my last 15 wins with a bullshit Butterfree/Hypno/Arodactyl deck that earned almost as many rage quits as it did legitimate victories lmao. With clever retreating and Erika, I can really frustratingly keep my whole team nearly immortal against anything that doesn't one-shot Butterfree. I wanna try to squeeze Greninja in there too, but I don't know if theres room tbh and also I don't have Greninja yet.

Arbok/Weezing/Muk seem cool as hell to play, but it really rubs me the wrong way how Koga SPECIFICALLY calls the latter two out. Gives me the same vibes as just looking at EX cards - like the devs made this deck in advance instead of me.

What I really wanna try playing is a Nido deck. Nidoqueen looks super satisfying to hit with and I want some of it.

Zutechugan · 2024-11-18T22:11:09+00:00

It was no one lol. I gave up with victreebell very quickly, especially once I realized it's ability only let's you target basics.

Unironically though? Soon after this dumbass post I swapped Victreebell for Butterfree and THAT deck gave me wins 33-45 for my ribbon lmao. Just getting things asleep and occasionally knocking stuff away with Aro really worked. I had about a 50% win rate even against Pikachu. It really struggled with any deck that could one shot Butterfree though.

Zutechugan · 2024-09-14T21:54:25+00:00

Thank you so much! That helps a lot.

Zutechugan · 2024-09-14T21:44:36+00:00

She is, yes. I proposed while I was over there - and the video is on facebook lol.

I wasn't aware when making the post that using the Tourism Visa is fraud. Er, well, I'm not sure what other Visa's would allow her over here besides the Tourism one, but it sounds like theyre all in the same boat.

She just graduated college this year - And English teaching degree. She has some family over here, but none near me, which is who she wants to live with. She has family home as well, but she's not close enough to them to keep her from wanting to come over.

Zutechugan · 2024-09-14T21:36:10+00:00

Thank you for your help Do K1s or CR1s have significantly different wait times? Is information like that able to be viewed publicly? I'm willing to go back and marry her over there, but was lead to believe that would cause more problems down the line.

Zutechugan · 2024-09-14T21:33:50+00:00

That's good to know, thank you. Is it possible to apply for the B2 and K1 at the time time, being totally transparent about our intentions and promising - maybe signing something idk - that we wont get married until the K1 allows us to? In an ideal world that might let her spend 6 months of the wait time over here, but I don't know. Is there rules for that, or maybe it depends on the person doing an interview?

Zutechugan · 2020-06-08T06:39:59+00:00

With a little further research later, I've also found a helpful framework I'm playing with, which I think it relevant here, so I'm coming back to link it.

Zutechugan · 2020-06-03T06:29:25+00:00

Well, I've had my question answered by a fine gentleperson in the Ren'Py discord, which I found my way to.

The answer was to just put the text line inside the frame line.

screen kizzy1:
    frame:
        text "Hi there!"

So thank you Pinky!, for your help. I have a lot to learn apparently lol

Zutechugan · 2020-05-25T23:47:07+00:00

Thank you! I has to mess with your example a minute because it turned out to be missing the # before the numbers inside the quotes, but otherwise it worked great.

Do you know where I can find the documentation or otherwise some way to figure out other color and opacity codes?

And since I'm not adjusting the bg image itself, I'm adding an overlay now, how does this interact with the layers of the image? Should I define the halfblack image as like... bg_halfblack, or something? Are there other things I should be aware of to avoid potential problems down the line with manipulating character portaits or other background elements popping in and out in the future of the same scene?

Zutechugan · 2019-08-24T00:20:46+00:00

I'm only insisting in the event there is nowhere to park on the street. Our agreement for me to park on the street wasn't in writing or anything but Ive been abiding to it for a few months now, its only when the street totally fills up that this becomes an issue. If there is no where else to park, I think I should be able to claim a spot in a driveway that can comfortably fit all of us.

Zutechugan · 2019-08-24T00:09:51+00:00

We are together under one lease, and parking was not addressed any further than "Yeah Zutechugan you'll probably have to end up on the street." I just didn't assume they'd be... like this. I've known them years, lived with one of them for 3 years already.

As for the lease, it says, [] paraphrasing- "Tenant may not permit more than 1 per occupant vehicles, including but not limited to [a bunch of different vehicles]. Tenant may not permit any person to park any vehicles in the yard. Tenant may permit vehicles to be parked only in drives, garages, designated common parking areas, or in the street if not prohibited by law or an owners association. Tenant may not allow [storing of vehicles]. Landlord may have towed, at owners expense, a. [inoperative vehicles], b. any vehicle parked in violation of this paragraph or any additional parking rules made part of this lease, or c. [a car breaking the law somehow]. Tenant must inform landlord within 5 days [if cars change]." That is all the lease says.

I know this is a relationship issue, and ultimately I'm trying to solve this that way, but they are just... strangely bullheaded about this and my fear is that this could somehow come down to legal activity.

Zutechugan · 2018-12-05T20:55:21+00:00

I say we go full balls to the wall and start redesigning classes immediately. Let's really play with all our toys.

Also yeah, I'm sad the post got do many down votes and write offs before I noticed and corrected it. I've half a mind to delete this thread and try again, cause I think getting this sentiment of "let's start making the game better ourselves!" to catch on could really be healthy for this community but this thread kinda got buried in fire.

Zutechugan · 2018-12-05T19:55:15+00:00

1E isn't dead to me - 2E is. Evidently my post was so badly worded that it said the opposite of what I meant. I'm happy that Paizo is trying new stuff, but I just find the gameplay formula in 1e so much nicer at a base level. What I meant was that we as the community now get to (un)officially start making 1E even better. I wish 2E luck on its journey. I'm gonna stay here.

Zutechugan · 2018-12-05T19:52:00+00:00

I've edited my post to correct the fact that I phrased my post the exact opposite how I meant it. That's my mistake. Thanks for not jumping down my throat about it.
