I got so frustrated that he kept continually rejecting my offers, so offered the bottom half
this doesn't get me anywhere, but now he has a whole copy

It's not the card game on DS, but it is a card game instruction book on DS.

>>21926
I'm angry.

>>21926
That is the lamest excuse for a DS game ever.

>>21926
what
WHY

>>21930
It's part of a new version of the starter set. The game card takes the place of the instructional dvd

All I had was Suicune, and I just kept splashing everyone for 20 damage.
And then they all died at once.
That was epic.

I found these little gems at an antique store for a few bucks...

Was it worth it?

Full Card art; it's not just for Pokemon anymore.

>>22129
But why 2?!?!?!?
The only reason I can see is to actually play using those cards; BUT NOBODY PLAYS WITH OLD CARDS THESES DAYS! correct me if i'm wrong.

>>22225
Fuckin' groovy.

Rescue Energy; Good idea?

>>22226

True, but those cards look like OLD misprints...

The closed beta of TCGO Ends August 16th.
I assume that means it'll go into open beta after that!
All us closed beta-ers will have our collections reset.
Which is a shame, because I've gotten my deck just how I like it now.

>>22340

That's a damn shame...

But I got this from a trade today (I gave the guy an Emboar for it).

>>22366

And I also got this.

>>22367
Is that play Pokemon logo part of the sleeve or the card?

>>22368

The Play! Pokemon logo is printed on the card.

I have a question...

Has anyone competed in a Prerelease tournament before?

I'm planning on attending one on the 24th.

>>22459

Prerelease tournament are similar to Sealed tournaments (in other words, you get 6 packs from the son-to-be-released expansion and you form a deck from the cards you get, and Energy cards are provided).

The freebie for this expansion's prerelease tournament is a deck box and the prerelease card is Gigalith (sorry about the blurry image).

Are you ready for older generations to return to the card game?

>mybodyisready.jpg

Oh, and I'll probably get 2-3 booster boxes from Red Collection.

I want that Meowth card...

>>22503

If they are reasonably priced and I get a Charizard

>>22537

He's talking about this Meowth card, right?

I really want to go to a worlds one of these days.

>>22632

Yep.

And I'll be getting 5 boxes of Red Collection by the end of the week, not the 2-3 boxes I mentioned in >>22537.

>>22635

Scratch that, make it 4 booster boxes...

TCGO is now open to everyone!
http://www.pokemontcg.com/

Welp, the boxes arrived...

>>22723
They look like candy.

>>22724

Yep.

Kinda PO'd with what I pulled from 'em, though...

>>22725

Oh, and here's the stash...

>Virizion SR
>Virizion x4
>Cobalion x5
>Terrakion x4
>Eelektross x5
>Hydreigon x4
>Kyurem x4
>Landorus x4
>Victini x4
>Haxorus x4

Hey, guys, would you consider this a fair trade?

>Plume Fossil (Red Collection)
>Archen (Red Collection)
>Archeops (Red Collection)

For...

>Prerelease Gigalith (Emerging Powers)
>SR Thundurus (Emerging Powers)
>SR Tornadus (Emerging Powers)
>Shining Mew Delta (EX Dragon Frontiers)

Does this look like a good deck to you or could it use some adjustments?

And yes, I'll replace "Cheerleader's Cheer" with "Cheren" soon.

>>22954
WHY is there a Stoutland line in here. Why the Zekroms?
>>22723
You know japanese cards aren't legal anywhere but Japan right.

>>23050
Zekroms are very good.
They only need colourless energy for outrage, so they can go anywhere.

>>23050
>Stoutland line

They're in there for recycling, but it's a pain in the ass to set up...

>You know japanese cards aren't legal anywhere but Japan right.

I'm aware of that, I bought 'em for collecting/trading purposes (>>22732 was one of my trades)

>>23053

Agreed, I'd use Reshiboar but I'm not a douchebag.

LOST WOOOOOOOORLD

My new deck is grass.
It's got a lot of filler but it shows promise.

Dragon is a type now.
Seems reasonable; there are definitely enough dragons to support a type.
Unlike when the game first started and there were only 3.

Mini-sets like Dragon Collection don't have energy cards, so there isn't going to be a Dragon Energy just yet.

I don't understand. Why not ground? Or Flying? Why one of the smallest subgroups in the game?

>>24360
It's the year of the Dragon.

>>24359
A DRAGON CAN ONLY BE DEFEATED BY ANOTHER DRAGON!
I can't wait for ice to exist and raep their shit

>>24364
DRAGON MUST DEFEAT DRAGON!

Dragon, dragon, rock the dragon!

Geeze, Pokemon EX are really powerful!
As if being strong wasn't enough, Basic Pokemon have a lot of support!
It's like, evolution takes turns, shouldn't the game reward that a bit more?!

>>26024

It's even worse when you realize you can put that on any basic pokemon, and not just ones that can evolve.

>>26028
I know, right.
I'm trying to build up a nice force of stage 2s and they plop down an army of EX with Eviolite that I can't do anything about.

>>26029

You could try to beat them at their own game.
