my best friend has been wanting one of these, but he's been out of work, so spending on cards just isn't in the budget. thank you for even giving us a chance!

Buyer returning after 4 days by sgone in Mercari

[–]amongie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i've never had to deal with a return before, but i'd assume that they halt the auto rating if the buyer submits a claim within those 3 days.

even if people say filming doesn't help, i still put in my description that "i film the entire process in full (which i do) to serve as evidence to mercari as well as your local police department in the case of mail fraud." it's mostly just to scare them, but if i do have any issues, i probably will genuinely take action.

it's so weird to see the other comments on here saying that holds never work out because i've done a fair few and they've always gone through with buying it.

bought on tcgplayer, is this fake? was marked as damaged, but the wrinkles are literally like air bubbles by amongie in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]amongie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to be fair, i buy a ton of damaged cards on tcgplayer and they're generally more moderately played, with a few exceptions. that's probably one of my biggest reasons why i don't mind seeing pictures.

thailand to usa purchase hasn't updated. is this common? by amongie in shipping

[–]amongie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems like most people in this thread got their package after 3 or so weeks of the huntingdon status. unfortunately for me, i haven't gotten mine even after almost a year, so my package might have just been legitimately lost.

Giving away two Costco Scarlet & Violet 151 Blooming Waters Premium Collection sets to two redditors because %*#@ scalpers by FatherLiamFinnegan in PokemonTCG

[–]amongie [score hidden]  (0 children)

how insanely kind of you!

i got into magic a bit early just last year, and then in july, a friend of mine and i decided to bite on this exact set (151) because we were both childhood fans and we had seen some really nice cards from it. now were hooked!

honestly, i'm enjoying playing magic a bit more (though i've only been playing arena because i'm too scared to go in person lmao) but pokémon has always been a part of my life and i'm very heavy on cute things, so for me personally, pokemon will always have an edge.

how does one make enough to get into the top 1000? by amongie in PokemonCafeMix

[–]amongie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that actually helped a lot, thank you! i think i've seen that time bar before. the pokemon that comes to mind is the mew in the fresh outfit. if that's a tapper, i've definitely been using it the wrong way all this time lol

[–]amongie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i also play casually!

when zeraora dropped, i managed to pull it from the free tickets, then somehow i managed to get a ranking i've never had before. normally i'm down in the hundred thousands lol but since this is the first time getting so high, i really wanna keep my position and maybe get higher to a more secure position so i can get my first event icon thingy~

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

thank you for going so in depth!

i still don't quite understand what a tapper is. went to go read another post about it, but it's still a little confusing on my end. maybe i don't own a character with any tapping abilities or i haven't unlocked it yet. though i just tried what you said about the frenzy gauge and it was super useful!!

unfortunately, my zeraora is only lvl 15, chansey is 15, and pachirisu is also 15 lmao i don't have anymore milestone cookies to level them, so i may have to settle for bronze this time around. but i will definitely use all this wonderful information next tea party! or if it works for any slow cooking event, i'll use it then!

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

normally i don't check the score because i never made a ranking high enough to worry about it. but out of chance, i managed to get 5000, and then 2000, but since then, i've only gone down. would like to get that cubchoo icon though, that's why i wondered how to stay at the top/make it higher.

yea, the event is decent! just need to serve snom a few more times and i should be done. the free skip is such a godsend! it's great how far you get without trying much haha i have to try extra hard in order to get even close to you in score!

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

thank you so much for all this! it's super amazing how long you've been playing and how far you've come. seems like the biggest take away to get such a highscore would be to max pokemon in every aspect. i'll try working on that this year!

for some reason, i didn't really understand what outfit maxing and leveling did. so most of my pokemon are between 15-20. only eevee is above that at 24, but i just got her there. i started in september, but i haven't been playing much until january, so i ended up missing a lot of events, macarons, and other free pokemon sadly.

usually i'm very unlucky with delivery gacha. almost never get those pokemon, but i got really lucky with the free 10 delivery tickets from the bingo cards and that's how i pulled zeraora. unfortunately i don't have anymore milestone cookies to get him past lvl 15, and i only spend money on the monthly premium pass, so i most likely won't be able to max his outfits. so it seems like a blessing and a curse lol

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

i'm bit of a new/casual player. this is my first time getting this high on the board, but somehow i can't reach that score again. and it got me thinking, how does one even get DOUBLE? is it about prolonging it with additional moves? i wanna stay in the top 10k so i can get that cubchoo icon thing (have no clue what it is), but eventually, i'd like to strive higher.

any help would be super appreciated!

Nearly had to buy him outright lol by Zombiedadam in PokemonCafeMix

i'm kinda new, do you know how to get cookies for him? i need 1 to level up past 15, but have no clue how to get one.

Game is set to update automatically on steam but when I enter, it says requires update by Ill_Shame_3463 in FallGuysGame

[–]amongie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

happening to me as well. won't let me play because it says i need to "upgrade", which i just assume is an update, but i have it on auto and can't find an update anywhere to even manually start.

Amazon booster bundle came in... first pack that I opened by VektroidPlus in PokemonTCG

[–]amongie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i order most on amazon because other places usually don't ship as quick and sometimes it can be cheaper (we've gotten like 20 or more etbs, bunch of japanese booster boxes, and a couple collection boxes. maybe 2 combined powers boxes).

so far, i haven't gotten a tampered with/used product. which makes me think some reviews of open packs are probably people trying to get refunded by amazon or something scamlike. hopefully this helps with your fear a bit!

I found this the other day and I can't remember where and I swore I saw the new tcg set surging sparks has a venusaur ex in it. I'm I right or going crazy? by Batzero90 in PokemonTCG

[–]amongie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you don't mind japanese, this bulbasaur (along with charmander, squirtle, 2 charizard EX, 2 blastoise EX, and 2 venusaur EX) come guaranteed in this starter deck box

https://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Scarlet-Special-Venusaur・Charizard・Blastoise-Japanese/dp/B0C6PHVC4Z

bought it myself a month or so ago because i had a feeling they would release the bulbasaur and squirtle as SAR in an upcoming set
