Pokemon TCGM

I don't know how many of you use SimpleX chat but I figured I'd make a pokemon room there anticipating the arrival of trading. It also provides a convenient way to chat and share things closer to real time than Lemmy does. Lemmy also likes to make a mess of SXC links unless you give them special formatting which means you'll have to copy and paste this link to use it. I'll add a QR code to this post and the community sidebar in just a little bit. See you there!

I figured we could use a post for swapping friend IDs. Here's mine:

The scene that plays with this one is very cute.

Runs until January 21st at 11:59pm.

Unlocks include Blastoise/Blue themed items like card sleeves, play mat, coin, etc.

Maybe I am just incredibly unlucky but I feel like the wonder picks is 100% rigged.

One would assume that with 5 cards to pick you have a 20% chance to get the card you want. Unless it has hidden mechanics where the rarer the card, the more unlikely it is you are to get it, which should be stated somewhere, I am under the assumption that it should be equal chance for any card shown especially since you already use more resources to choose the wonder pick options which have rarer cards.

I have probably done at least 50+ wonder picks over the past few weeks and literally only once have I gotten the card I chose the pick to try and get.

That's a less than 2% chance, not a 20% chance. In fact, It seems to specifically give you the worst card out of the lot the majority of the time. Like a pidgey or something.

Just venting, as it's legalized gambling targeted towards children through video games as well and I actually quite despise it despite it being one of the only ways to get specific cards at the moment.

Making some major progress on full art collecting today lol.

Pun definitely intended.

This card is so different and cool. The unusual art styles are some of my favorites.

I love the full arts in this set!

This is one of my favorite artworks so far, holy crap. I need to source one of these IRL.

Brock was a hard one to get and the final one I needed to finish the set. It made using fighting decks a pain but oh well lol. Now I need another...

I was pulling in the Pikachu boosters and surprisingly got myself a Charizard!

Love this one.

I had all the cards from the promo set before finishing the event and currently have 2x Blastoise from this event. Not a bad one!

Got the full art Blastoise from my 3rd promo pack.

Nice to see some more solo content added.

I love cards that feature action scenes and/or other pokemon hanging out.

Maybe this info is out there already but I'd rather ask here. It would be great to be able to swap some of these duplicate full arts and whatnot to fill the holes in the Dex and build decks.

After a fair bit of grinding, it's done.🥇

Mew vs ivy

This also completed my different journeys mission

!

I was really hoping for that Lapras but this Charizard completes my

!Starter Trio Collection

!This pack was pretty good

Only got Machamp ex and this Gyrados ex as Super Rare (two star) cards yet. Honestly like them better than the immersive rare and crown rare cards

You guys convinced me I should fire up an account a couple days ago. Great pull to keep me hooked.

Beautiful card and one I've been waiting on!

Found on the internet. If it is real, this aouldcbd amazing!

First pack opening of the day and I got a full art I've been wanting. Good luck with your pulls today!

The artwork on this one is phenomenal.

Somehow this card looks really cute while also being rather sad.

I've realized, that my two Electrodes were either Japanese or Chinese. Now I reeeeeaaaally want a third one from Korea, to make this collection really special (to me).

Need a korean friend who regularly opens packs with Electrodes.

The decks I see a lot of online are-

• psychic
• grass
• fire
• dragon

Every once in a while I run into someone with an electric build or something out of the ordinary but psychic has been dominant.

I've really been enjoying playing a Dark type deck online. The type advantage really dismantles the psychic decks and has been strong enough with the cards I have available to put up a good fight against everything else. It's really been fun trying to plan out and streamline over the last few days of playing.

What have you been playing and seeing?

This has to be one of the happiest looking artworks I've seen!

I got lucky with a couple full arts and the flashy CHARIZARD 🥇.
