If these were real life packs I would've congratulate you instead since a Secret Rare is 1 in 108 packs, but since it is the PTCGO and apparently 3 out of 4 are locked ...

this update is utter trash. i will not buy packs or play this game until its fixed. fuck these idiots

>>24595115
I put it up for the red one, I added 4 RSK packs to it. If anyone wants it, go get it.

We pick up the 3 heaviest packs and pull this.

They don't even fucking tell you what's in it.

>>24595361
The question is: Why scale such shitty packs? Why not leave those holos for the kiddies and scale better ones like roaring skies?

>>24595356
If you play shiftry/baltoy, celebi is better since it takes latios+energy+muscle band+laser to kill it.

>>24595361

>Compare real cards with virtual cards

>>24595380

Most older packs are probably scaled out and are left with mostly trash by now

>>24595380
because I want all the FA mewtwo EX
Also, all the other packs were already scale, so no point in trying those.

Fuck, I thought max potion was in this set. It's next set, I'm guessing?

It's rare, but only worth about $15-20 bucks.

porygon-z took so long to play before the update that even though it was fun, I wouldn't play it

now I don't even know if it's possible to finish a game in under 25 minutes

>>24595397

Probably the next set since Breakpoint will probably include the Golduck BREAK + Palkia EX deck I'd hope we will get VS Seeker, Birch, and Sycamore reprints as well, on the other hand it might also include the terrible Emboar + Togekiss EX half decks as well since the English set will have 40 or so more cards than the Japanese set along with having 11 EXs and only 2 Megas

How is this not rigged?

The biggest shame with this patch is that it had a lot of good additions, like skipping the "which Pokemon would you like to play?" prompt at the beginning if you only have one Pokemon in your hand and letting you select multiple prizes at once.

They just buried those good things under forced animations of cards flying around any time you want to do something. This whole shit was to encourage people to upload videos of the game to youtube by making it more visually interesting.

Pokemon are just animals of this fantasy world. Makes no sense how you give birth to big metal statue's. And they wouldn't even have a dick or pussy

i refuse to open these packs if im going to get a rare chatot. also the update can suck a fucking dick for real. i go to hit battle compressor nothing happens.. click it again.. nope i have to drag my battle compressor out onto the board to activate it, adding unnecessary time to do anything WTF and that goes for any trainer card. why cant i click the cards!

I think he's joking.
I don't support pack weightier because it takes away the fair game for everyone.
But at the same time, a kid wouldn't know if he got a really rare card or not.

A kid could pull a reverse holo card and think he pull the rarest card in the world.
Until someone tells him it's shit, and he stops collecting.
Or worst, kid does pull a really rare card, and use it to put it on his bike to make it sound like a motor bike.

There is nothing new in the avatar section, but it is still full of stuff that we will never see.
As for game play, the only thing new are these. However I would not get my hopes up since my gut is telling me that these will be only for people who pay in gems.

Unrelated to the update, fuck these coin flips I just did 14 god damn flips and didn't get a single thing heads I have fucking victini fuck this gay ass game

Also unrelated, why would be the meta game shift if EXes were limited to only one set per deck (bar a set of megas for that previous set if applicable) Would it be for better or worse?

>>24597158

I personally strongly dislike the fact that stage 2 regular evolutions are basically unviable.

And i love how that real would totally kek shaymin one of the most cancer cards ever.

>>24597158
It would basically just kill anything that could put up a fight against decks like Vespiquen.

What the fuck? It's so much harder to keep track of cards on the table. There were literally no problems in the old client.

>>24598037
It's actually easier to not missclick now, because it's visually more obvious what you're clicking on.

I've lost too many matches at the last minute where I clicked Y Cyclone instead of Evil Ball on accident. Somehow this new view makes my brain work better.

As far as I can tell, the sole reason they did this update was so that youtubers couldn't disable the animations. They were probably afraid that everyone disabling them made the game look cheap to watchers.

>>24598386
Duh, but why that? Hitting weaknesses...?

>>24598043
Not sure about tools, but I definitely find the little Energy icons easier to keep track of. The old system worked well only when there werent a lot of energy cards in play. But when you played against something like Yveltal-EX (which stacks energies like mad) the energies would eventually merge into an unreconisable yellow blob. It was a pain in the ass when you played for example a Crushing Hammer and wanted to discard a DCE. You were basically forced to right click zoom if you didn't want to accidently discard a Darkness Energy instead.

>>24598391
No, as back up attackers in case all your Combees/Vespiquens get prized or discarded

So, Sam Hayne is on reddit responding to criticism of the update. His official stance is that the new update is amazing, we're all idiots for not loving it, that no one has suggested any viable fixes for perceived problems, and we will learn to love it and if you don't then go play something else.

Wow, just.... wow. This guy needs to be fired.

>>24598391
Yeah. That way you only need 7 cards in grave and a Jolteon on bench to be dealing 180. Plus any that don't work in the matchup, like Vaporeon in most cases, or Flareon against Yveltal or something, can be your first targets for Battle Compressor to start building up your damage.

Don't worry, it won't be. The new green is much better than even the old blue.

Old green is what's used in tourneys(I think, I actually haven't seen/used it yet). It still had good matches against old blue.

you have no draw cards and way too many extras of cards. throw in some draw cards like battle reporter, cheren, professor birch observations, professors letter, and cut down on the doubles of cards you have. also consider EX killers since you will have to fight them, even in standard. I personally love Regice

I follow the 15 pokes, 15 energy and 30 trainer card combo, also you don't need 4 double drag for your 1 drag family. you only need 1 of each of those poke tool cards and like i said in my previous post, add draw cards. i would add at least 2-3 strong basic pokemon in addition to your 2 poke family lines

>>24599211
pokemon pyramids?

>>24599211

Pokemon Pyramids was never a good idea, the only reason why it was remotely "a thing" back then was that theme decks always give you (and still does today) 4-2-1 lines

>>24599218
I wouldn't know, there were no gaming dedicated stores in my local area, so I never played competitively back then.

>>24599221
The reasoning used to be that you wouldn't get to evolve every single motherfucker in your deck, so extras of the next stage were dead draws more often than not Though seeing how much deck searching and cards specifically meant to evolve fuckers there are now, I can see why people would mind dead draws a lot less.

There are many ways to make it work:

Think about the specific energy cost for each card and include colored pokémon but with colorless attack costs or some with less colored energy needed
And I'm sure you can come up with some more ways. It's a Cube, after all.

When you phrase it like that it isn't awful bad, but it ignores a couple of key aspects.

- 3 energy attachments with turbo being the only accelerator isn't good enough. MFug takes 2 attachments for better damage. MManectric takes 2 attachments while doing damage that is nearly relevant as MMewtwoX and accelerates onto the bench to boot. It's energy requirements are weird as well, which doesn't help it.

- 200 damage is awkward as fuck. It doesn't 1 shot megas unless you forgo spirint linking and take the turn loss for the opportunity to muscle band. Or you can do some funky shit like tool retriever or Xerosic your own spirit link. Giovanni could also help you but I don't see people playing that shit.

MMewtwo Y, if it does see play, would probably see play in something with metal links. It's main advantage is that it's splash-able. Colorless requirements allow it to work anywhere.

Why is that an issue again? Nobody with any semblance of intelligence runs them.
