So, I went to Gamestop today and bought Pokemon White 2. The guy working told me was going through the regular "preorder this stuff" spiel, and then he mentioned X/Y.

I was like "already?"

So I preordered Y. Let's go.

Wait what? :O I want to do that too.

Spoiler

But I want the games now too...

 

[Hypatia]

About 1/10 of my cards are energies... And I have about twenty mudkips. They are my curse. D: Also, I really want a PTCG for 3DS...


I think I have quite many of the Base and the Jungle set. Ah, the original ones are really cool...

lol, damn, I meant 2000. About 200 of that are probably energies though. I only have 19 repeats so that's something.

I used to have sooooooo many Machops. Now I only have two from the original set. Yay.

 

[injurai]

I don't understand how we were meant to even play the card game, I only ever got 2-3 colorless energies my entire life.

 

[Kouriozan]

I loved the GBC trading card game so much, I wish they would make a new one.

 

[Berordn]

Colorless is a wildcard, if you have a colorless energy card it can be anything, and colorless energy requirements can be any energy.

 

[Hypatia]

I don't understand how we were meant to even play the card game, I only ever got 2-3 colorless energies my entire life.

I'm fairly sure that you could use any kind of energy card in place of a colourless one.

I used to know how to play the card game perfectly but no one would play with me ):

 

[Vermillion]

Gotta start early I guess.

Wait what? :O I want to do that too.

Spoiler

To be honest, I think I'd cancel it and preorder it at my school, instead... it IS closer.

At your school:O

 

[sonikokaruto]

I'm really proud to have been able to go there. But nobody believed me...

I went there.

It was uninpresaive.


Also, i had pics, because it happened.

All these years and I never knew...

 

[Nocturnowl]

Rhyperior is so bad. Why isn't it the same colour as Rhyhorn/Rhydon?!

Isn't the idea that it's wearing the protector thing like armour? that'd be why i'd wager.
I'd say it looks stupid but I never liked Rhydon anyway so I at least get amusement out of the mess that is Rhyperior, amazing name as well.
Oh if only Rhyhorn had continued in the direction I expected instead of jumping up onto its hind legs and becoming a horned dino thing.

They should have treated their first pokemon ever a bit better though...

At your school:O

Ah, sorry, I mean the Gamestop at my school. See, I'm on break right now, and in retrospect, when Y comes out I'd be on campus again.

There's bound to be fan art of Fennekin as that pirate dude by now. And if there isn't then hopefully soon.

Obvious. But what about Froakie...ignored in the Tales Spin parody too? ._.

 

[kittens]

I have it in my backlog right now. I'm gonna be playing it for the first time!

I'm finding Black 2 really boring for some reason, so maybe I'll stop playing it and just play Pokemon Trading Card Game The Game. I've never played any sort of TGC before, so I'm kind of intimidated.

 

[Qurupeke]

Nobody loves him. >

 

[papercamm]

Nobody loves him. >

He can at least be a background character.

 

[Izayoi]

I beg to differ:

Spoiler

Okay, the last five aren't Gen I. I got carried away with my love...

Don't forget this badass.

 

[BuggyDClown]

Togekiss is so dope

Congratulations on the 3 Lass cards.

I know what you're saying, but Lass was one of the very best cards in that set, alongside Professor Oak and Itemfinder.

 

[Dark Orchid]

I realized that immediately after I posted it. Oh well, at least I picked one that isn't currently playable.

 

[clemenx]

Honchkrow was the best GEN IV evo. He's a fucking Big Boss Pokemon

Open them.
I once bought two imported Japanese Jungle Set booster packs from a local shop because they were heavily discounted. One of them had a holo Venomoth, the other had Mew, which was removed for the Western release of the set. I felt like the luckiest person on earth.

 

[gosox333]

Completely off topic, but this is too funny. Watch this with the sound off and have this playing in the background, and let the hilarity ensue.

Honchkrow is pretty godlike, I agree.

Just got my account activated and wanted to be sure; is this avatar available or does anyone already use it? I don't want to dig through 3000 posts to find out.

I haven't seen it, you're probably fine.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Compared to some card games, Pokémon is pretty inexpensive

I remember the Black Lotus being a lot cheaper than that, inflation much?

Fennekin is close to surpass Froakie. 20 votes! Vote Fennekin everyone!

Right, thanks.

Also, will we see the spiritual succesor of the pokéwalker with the 3DS's pedometer?

This poll is null and void until we get a legit one which doesn't have EatChildren, best starter, as an option.


Also Chespin would win on a fresh poll anyway. He has the best fanart.

You know it is legit.

Yeah, you're right... But everyone knows that Fenneking would win nevertheless.

I hope so. I got so many flying/surfing Pikachus. I could trade for almost anything I wanted.

 

[jwhit28]

How much are you guys paying for Original, Fossil, and Jungle Booster individual packs or boxes?
