I love buying cards just for the art. Sometimes I go to prerelease tournaments and I play the online version, but besides that I don't play the TCG despite buying boosters. But I love having little, official pieces of pretty paper, and it feels so good pulling a rare/gorgeous card.

From personal experience (36 packs from a booster box, 8 from a Elite Trainer Box and 6 from a pre-release), less than 20% of Sun & Moon packs have any GX at all. If you're just going to buy packs until you get the one you want, you're going to be buying hundreds.

I'm beginning to wonder if the Incineroar haters who wanted a quadruped cat are fucking zoophiles. Probably are with all the complaints.

>>31761892

nani

I mean, geez, I guess quad fags just wanted him to stay on all fours and some certainly still do after all this time, but how does wanting a feline acting more like a realistic feline (because just wanting Incineroar as a feline is burr because he is a tiger regardless of how he looks) has anything to do with zoophilia

Some are even assholes, but you've also got to remember that not everyone is into the whole wrestling thing or their cats bulking enough to the point of never walking on all fours again, which might push people away.

It's not rocket science. Their or our opinions might be wrong, but they're still bloody opinions, we can't really do much about it nor change anyone's mind in a brisk of a second

These are the LEGEND cards from HGSS block. You could only play them if you had both halves in your hand.

>>31762350
Haha every time I see this imagine how much that Emboar has been through. Over the years he's spent so much time with this family, but do any of you see a darker picture here? Every family has a secret, and I believe it's obvious from this series of images that this Tepig has been through a lot. By the way the family is positioned in the photos and Emboar's responses, I believe that this family may have had "other uses" for their family pet. Emboar produces over 150-500ml of semen per 17 minute interval. The bulbourethral glands produce the gelatin plug . The gelatin plug comes out in many
fractions over time during ejaculation but predominantly at the end of ejaculation. This is used to seal the large volume of ejaculate (150-500 cc) in the female uterus following
natural service. The plug sets up in the cervix and may remain intact for a variable length of time. When collecting semen from the Emboar for AI, the first part of the ejaculate
is discarded, and since the gel plug is represented in many phases, Emboar semen is typically filtered during the collection process. By cultivating Emboar semen, this family has been able to make it big in the pokemon breeding world. Someday I hope to be as successful as them.

Poster you replied to and I'll bite, you made me shut the fuck up and think it over and admit you have a point.

I'd have enjoyed him as a quad too (oh irony), but I also think he has a good overall design and the cartoony limb sizes are meme'd out of proportion due to the 3D model, since there's GX card art out there that makes him look a lot more normal shaped and his Dream World art gives him ever so slightly more normal paw-like feet and hands, which makes me feel like he's just standing up and be Big Cat otherwise.

Shit, I need a break from this place if I'm getting sincere responses to chill out and even I agree with it.

>Maybe they didn't want a wrestling bipedal baracat after 3 gens of Fire/Fighting starters
Understandable.

>6 gens of Bipedal Fire starters
I feel like this is just a bullshit excuse people fell back on when they found out that Incineroar wasn't actually Fire/Fighting. I'm sure if we had a starter that was naturally on two legs like a fire type bird or something no one would actually go "Waaaaaah TWO LEGS". I think people were just disappointed that something that started at as a 4 legged creature changed to 2 legs since they were expecting a regular fire cat at that point, not because of some leg number autism.
