TotT 1: A normal Full Art, Hyper Rare Full Art, or SR is now guaranteed in Japanese booster box. What do you think this means for our pull rates?
And since I got a "Field is too long" error when this was in the OP, here's another TotT.
>TotT 2: TPCi has changed the legality structure for sets and promos yet again, sets are now legal on the third now be legal on the third Friday of the same month the set is released and promos are legal on the the first or third Friday of the month after the product is released. How does this change the game?

>sets are now legal on the third now be legal on the third Friday of the same month the set is released and promos are legal on the the first or third Friday of the month after the product is released
Can you say this in fucking English?
>>30757696
That was an editorial fuck-up on my part, there's some extra text that jumbles it up.
>sets are now legal on the third Friday of the same month the set is released and promos are legal on the the first or third Friday of the month after the product is released
That's how it should look.

Hey, the boxart silhouettes actually had a few traits of the actual boxart legends.

So which game had the best post game?
Also, any idea why each new game improves in so many ways but refuse to have a decent post game. After finishing Sun and Moon (Which I loved) after finishing the game I felt so empty and unmotivated to continue.
>>30756856
bemp pls
>>30756856
b2/w2 and emerald. Emerald for the battle frontier, b2w2 for the PWT, battle tower/tree and free shinies.
>>30756856
I just feel that it was undeniably Pokémon Black and White 2. Join Avenue was good, even if you did not manage to get online. You would get daily NPC visitors to upgrade your shops. The World Tournament had a really satisfying difficulty to it. Not easy enough to steamroll with high levels like the main game, but also not outright cheating and bullshitting you like the Battle Tower and its equivalents. There were some legendaries to catch, as well as events that were only accessible on certain days. Good stuff.
Daily Events and seasons also meant it was was worth it to pick up the game over a larger period of time. More to explore, more to find, more to catch.

I often wondered what it would look like without a shell. now i know it looks better with the shell.
Anyone using him? Burn Up hits for 130 BP special and removes Fire typing, making Moltres pure Flying, and Typhlosion and Arcanine ??? type. No STAB, but no weaknesses.
>>30756719
Eruption is still the best route for Typhlosion. Arcanine kinda appreciates Fire since it's used defensively with that resist. Maybe as a last minute change-up to deal with a super effective hitting mon.
>>30756923
It sucks giving up a slot of coverage for two fire type moves, but Eruption starts to trail off on damage at 73-76%, meaning you could try getting off an eruption, tanking a hit, using burn up to remove typing and take another hit or two from an opponent that counter picked. I initially thought it turned you normal, and was excited about Extremespeed shenanigans on Arcanine, but it's ??? typing.
>>30756719
>Burn Up

Still seeing people post about the shitty switch meme so I guess once again I have to remind you all...
Repeat after me: Game Freak is NOT developing on the Switch. Stars is just a rumor/myth/meme. Game Freak has never developed for a console before. They have never developed a game in the first year of new hardware before. Gen VII has just started. Get over the Switch meme. Wait for the 4DS or its equivalent.
>>30756701
Dude calm down just let the switch happen
>>30756701
Except the switch is the next handheld. There won't be a 4DS or an equivalent.
Yes, I get that Nintendo said it won't replace the 3DS. That's PR talk. They said the exact same shit about the GBA and DS
To think that the Switch is just a console and not a hybrid is just retarded.
I don't think Pokemon star is going to happen, as Sun is a star but still
>>30756722
I will destroy my computerif a mainline came to the Switch. That's how sure I am.
