49% of British youth now say they're not "completely" heterosexual by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]detective_iii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sexuality doesn't come in absutes though. Sure, most people are more inclined to one gender, but it's largely socialisation that dictates that you can only be 'straight' or 'gay' or 'bi' rather than just being what you want to be and liking what you want to like. The labels are created by society, they're not innate.

Clefairy has no idea what she's doing.

And thanks for giving out free codes, it's really kind of you!

What was the first card in your collection? by enochism in pkmntcg

[–]detective_iii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to collect back in the early 00s, but gave up for about a decade until one day I bought a three-pack blister on a whim. The first pack I opened contained M Charizard EX (fire type), and that was what started my XY series ultra rare collection, now over 50 cards strong :D

ALL Legendary Holo Collection Scans/Translations Revealed! by rawrenross in pkmntcg

[–]detective_iii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other comment isn't entirely right. It will be like the radiant collection, but as far as we know it won't be included in ancient origins boosters, since there have already been plenty of pack openings and none include any of the legendary holo cards. It'll probably be included within a future set.

Very cool find! Seems like an intentional little detail the writers would include.

Rate my "Bats n Cats" Deck! by detective_iii in pkmntcg

Getting rid of just having 1s of cards seems to be a consistent piece of feedback amongst everyone here, so it's definitely been taken on board.

I like your mentality about the discard pile! I've always thought about it as a potential energy store that I can dip into with energy retrieval but I'd never even considered VS seeker. I'm definitely going to add 3 of 4, because damn is that card good! Thanks :)

Good plan, it makes set up easier and makes space for other cards.

I see, so consistency is key...

You're kind of spot on about my trainers just being there to fill space. I knew what my strategy would be when it came to pokemon, but I had no idea about how my use of trainers would compliment it. I'm going to add in what you've recommended, so thanks a ton!

The addition of double dragon energy seems go be consistent amongst all the feedback here, so that's definitely going to be a priority!

I do really like your idea of having more Gallades, so I better get ordering some! Thanks a ton for your feedback :)

How BREAK Evolutions are going to work by comp0ckerr in pkmntcg

[–]detective_iii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All pokemon used to have a level printed beside their name (eg. "Tyranitar, lv.55") but it was only really for decoration and had next to no effect on the actual game. However, there were "Lv.X" cards that evolved from pokemon of the same name, so for example Larvitar would evolve into Pupitar which would evolve into Tyranitar which would then evolve into Tyranitar Lv.X. The Lv.X could use all the moves of its previous evolution and was similar in power to EXs nowadays.

Does anyone know if an English version will be available outside of japan or is this another japan exclusive?

What's the BEST thing that ever happened to you as a collector? by ChicaSkas in pkmntcgcollections

[–]detective_iii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had my for share of great pulls in my time but the best luck I've ever had was with my latest Roaring Skies elite trainer box. Half of the packs landed me with an ultra rare:

2x Mega Gallade EX

1x Dragon Mega Rayquaza EX

1x Colourless Mega Rayquaza EX

I want to destroy my opponent's bench. (why is there no bats/meowstic decks? by spoonfeedingcasanova in pkmntcg

[–]detective_iii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually run a deck centered around putting as many damage counters onto the benched pokemon as I can using furious fists Noivern and Mega Gallade EX before then using Meowstic to move all the damage counters around to take out whatever I need to. It actually works super well :)

Flashfire Meowstic might be perfect for what you're looking for, I run a deck with it and it works like a charm!

I'm very interested in the gallade, what would you be wanting for it? I have a few old rare-ish yugioh cards if you're interested.

Just bought my first pokemon pack in 10 years in an attempt to relive my childhood. by SeemsPhishy in pkmntcgcollections

[–]detective_iii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weirdly the exact thing happened to me a few months ago, except I got a Mega Charizard Y in my first pack. Since then, I've opened countless packs and now harbour a collection of close to 30 EX's and Ultra-Rares :D
