>Being a lucklet

>2 full art scizor from my morning pack
This would have been really cool if I didn't already have one and Scizor didn't suck.

>>58114091
You'd think after nobody used Golisopod they'd fix the gimmick when they cloned it into Scizor. It still wouldn't be good, but it'd at least have revenge killer application like Marshadow if the attack boost also kicked in if it switched in during the opponent's turn after they knocked out your previous active Pokemon

>>58113997

Full Art Only League for real RNG hours
Shinies, Immersives, and Crowns Only for mega whales

>>58114108
Lyra and the babies help out the concept, but not enough for it to be truly usable.

>>58114108
the problem with the gimmick isn't the gimmick itself it's the shit numbers
why use scizor when you could just use fucking silvally
if scizor did 110 or even 120 damage it might be worthwhile but at 100 it's just an objectively worse silvally
silvally was a fucking mistake

Why did they do my boy dirty

>>58114154
Dena doesn’t like it when cards are playable. Everything must be shitty pack filler.

>>58114244
Have formative memories of singing the song in my childhood while acting out motions as if I was doing a live action Pokemon battle during it.

I had an ongoing childhood fantasy that I followed for years where "trainers" were picked in the real world as some secret org, kinda like Kid's Next Door or something. Only trainers could see Pokemon, and when I'd see a report of something like a hurricane in Florida I'd imagine us trainers have to go and calm down Lugia or something.

Of course I was a special snowflake trainer #001 (the FIRST to be given a Pokedex) who also happened to find a silver Mew on one of my first missions to be my main partner Pokemon - with its ability to teleport me to school whenever I was too fucking tired to get ready. Of course it's also helpful for teleporting me to the fucking moon to fight Jirachi, who's Doom Desire was going to block out the sun...

Oh, and of course I'd need a cute traveling companion. So who else would I have but BlackRose/Rena from the .//Hack manga as my tsundere trainer partner who'd frequently be assigned on missions with me (begrudgingly at first, before sweeting up to the idea after I saved her a few times from certain death like the time she almost fell in the volcano while we fought Groudon but my Mew bounced her up with a bubble). Her signature Pokemon were of course Jigglypuff, Clefable, Togetic, etc. And eventually she'd just sneak into my room even when we weren't on missions just to hang and watch anime with me.

I'M OOOOOOOOOOOOOINKING

Why pay? There's not really an advantage in this game.

>never bought the leaf/red/erika accessories with my free gold, thinking that they'll add more
>they just stopped adding accessories for purchase with gold
nice.

>>58114309
I stopped paying since the arceus event. The temptation is at an all time low since pack points dont carry over and Silvally is still meta all this time later. We have a bunch of “good forever” cards like giratina, darkrai, arceus, buzzwole, silvally, sylveon and a few more. Phasing them out will be very difficult

>>58114309
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I NEED ALL THE FULL ARTS. WHY? JUST BECAUSE, OKAY? IT'S NOT WORTH PLAYING A MATCH UNLESS I CAN PLACE MY ENTIRE FIELD FILLED WITH FA CARDS. AND WHENEVER I USE A TRAINER, IT NEEDS TO BE AN FA TRAINER. I REFUSE TO CUSE CARDS UNLESS THEY ARE FA OR IMMERSIVE.

>>58114309
To reach pity rate

>>58114317
what happens when you lose to someone with no full arts?

>>58114324
Haha I simply close the app before they can win. It's just that simple.

>>58114328
good move haha

Combing all pack points would save the game for me personally. Opening packs would feel more rewarding, and you could realistically get those rainbow and trainer full art cards you like more easily.

>>58114316
hell even garchomp still nets me wins

>>58114292
>with its ability to teleport me to school whenever I was too fucking tired to get ready
So how many times did that ability actually work?

>>58114324
You concede before they play all of their cards, so you can tell yourself that they still had full arts in their deck/hand.

>>58114336
I would rather get tradeable 2* cards

how much pokegold did dena pay you to post this?

>>58114541
I did it for free

>>58114482
Lost the same card today, bro

Why did I feel the need to try getting two of these pieces of shit?

>>58114622
Because you're a failure if you don't

>>58114250
I see this event in a new light because each second copy of the promot EX is now 700 points which is more than what you get from most packs so it can stack up for trading if you're diligent because even the fake 3D rare pick gives decent points on repeats.

>try to play an a-exeggutor deck
>last 4 cards are oak, sylveon, and both exeggutor

>>58114668
>next match is a paynigger who coincidentally gets every single card he needs turn 1
Yeah, this game is fair.

paypiggies just get better hands. i consistently get better hands on my premium account that i buy gold on than my f2p alt account.

>>58114677
It was cathartic to match an espeonfag and have both Wills in hand by the time Exeggutor had enough energy to attack.

>>58114677
Maybe you're just bad

>>58114324
lmao joking aside, why the fuck do people do this? You're winning and they just fucking disconnect and leave you waiting for like a minute extra until the match ends. It takes longer to close the app, re-open, load the game up again, select "no" to the prompt asking to resume the match, and queue up again than it does to just concede and queue up. Are people really this fucking petty that they will inconvenience themselves just to waste an extra minute of your time?

>>58114309
To get cards faster. People love to say this game isn't P2W, but F2Ps are stuck playing old decks for most of the month because drop rates on the good cards are shit. The best cards in each set are 3 or 4 diamond, and packs will have 2 of those at best(usually 0 or 1), and you only get 2 packs a day if you're not burning every single hourglass as you get it.
And of course, there's nothing to stop you from just getting the same duplicates over and over.

>>58114807
>Darktina still not fucking de-throned

JUST GIVE US A FUCKING CARD THAT REFLECTS PASSIVE DAMAGE ALREADY. DARKRAI CANNOT CHOOSE TO NOT DAMAGE A POKEMON ONCE AN ENERGY IS PLACED ON IT, SO IT'LL BE FORCED TO TAKE 60 DAMAGE BEFORE IT GETS TO DO SHIT.

>>58114807
So which is better between those 2? not sure if I'm just a shitter but I've never been able to get past a 3 win streak with Darktina.

>>58114807
Meowscarada is free wins at the moment btw

>>58114807
I can make all but one of these, guess which.

>>58114872
Pichu/Arceus

>>58114807
Card has no synergy, meanwhile you can shove espeon onto the same deck as the best card in the game aka sylveon.

>>58114710
I plaid guilty. I used to do this when I was rushing Masterball. Now I don't give a shit since I got there but damn, I was petty as fuck.

>>58114677
Not true, I'm a premium piggie and I just made a new espeon deck which I then proceeded to brick with back to back. If I'm bricking with fucking espeon of all things then there's no such thing as better hands for piggies (maybe gold buying ones though).

Psh, nothing personelle, kid.

Ho-Oh/Lugia is fucking garbage and anyone pretending otherwise is a faggot

>>58115152
OK

You jelly?

>>58114826
How about nerfing cards, instead of pointless silver bullet cards

>>58114826
>add a card that's literally 100% useless outside of the darktina matchup bro it'll totally btfo darktina
and which deck would you be able to put this in aside from darktina itself

>>58115257
They should do this, but they won't. For whatever reason they're still treating it like a physical card game and refuse to change cards once they're "printed" so to speak. Even though the game has mechanics in in that aren't possible to pull off physically like "select 3 mons at random to do 50 damage to." Well, unless you introduced diceroll mechanics or something, but considering they didn't bother with that and they did with coins, it's obvious they just didn't think of "random" mechanics as something remotely possible irl.

>>58115272
It would also be good against rocky helmet and Greninja, who doesn't always live in Darktina decks.

>>58115243
Espeon Is really ugly

>>58115282
>b-but it's good against rocky helmet
so is guzma, and it also beats every other tool instead of just one
sorry bro your retarded shit idea is retarded and shit

>>58115300
Guzma is a neutralizer. This card would be an actual hard counter. Think about doing +20 damage on your turn when going against a rocky helm vs just removing it (and them placing rocky helm #2 on their Pokemon if you didn't time it right).

This is like when people said Sabrina was worthless after Cyrus was introduced. Now we have situations where both of them are good but depending on what you're going for you want one or the other.

>>58115243
Genuinely yeah. I've had both of these in my WP but this expansion I have not gotten ANY 2*s that showed up in my WP. Usually I get 1 or 2. I've had 0 so far though. I can't even get an Umbreon or Espeon EX let alone the 2*. All I have gotten from WP is a single Shuckle EX. Everything else is whiffs. This is a repeat of the Weavile set for me.

>>58115282
if it's a pokemon, it's automatically useless because benchwarmers that don't directly do damage are shit since they clog your opening hands and your searches. nobody runs shaymin, nobody runs comfey, nobody runs wigglytuff or primarina.
and if it's a tool, it's automatically useless because it loses to guzma which every darktina deck runs anyway.
even if it's good into helmet, all that means is that people will swap back to running barb.
silver bullet cards are always garbage in games without side decks and bo3 formats, dumbass.

>>58114862
What are you running with it? I tried with Shuckle and it was doing decent but fell off around 2000.

>>58115332
There's room for it, it's versatile enough to have use outside of Darkrai - and considering Darktina is one of the best deck it'd be a good check against it. Oricorio was a good step in the right direction but ultimately gets stalled out by Darktina since it can still ping for damage from the back. We have that useless Squirtle bucket card that removes fire energy, there's room for a passive damage reflection card since there are cards like Crobat, Greninja, Pyukumuku, Darkrai, Rocky Helm, and probably a few other passive damage effects I'm not remembering right now.

>>58115278
Apparently, there's a law in Japan which essentially says that you can't nerf something that somebody paid for.
Now, it is debatable whether stuff that is pulled randomly counts, but majority of gacha devs prefer playing it safe.

>>58114317
It's funny because the top tier ranked players avoid using the full arts because of the animations

>>58114862
Is it really? I faced a few Meow decks, but they all lost. I honestly had more issues with Buzzwole, especially if they had a good hand and could attack immediately..

>>58114482
It's always top middle

Guys im starting to get tcgp fatigue. I used to love opening my dailies, now i fucking hate it. I never get what i need and ranked is worse now than when it started

>>58114807
Best sylveon/espeon counter? Maybe something that can ohko espeon with a cape, i fucking hate it healing every turn making it hard to knock out

>>58115729
Can't go wrong with fire energy only Stokezard+Sylveon ex, carrying Red in the deck just in case Espeon has a cape. The new Eevee with Sylveon makes it so much more reliable to get the Charizard ready ASAP.

Made a Torterra deck and won on my first try
You guys lied, this is the best card in the game

>1165 pack points for wisdom
>15 shinies, 3 of which are shiny gyarados, 4 are shiny ex

Truly DeNA has their priorities straight here. I’ll just wait until the next pack drops before worrying about finishing this set. Pack points need to be universal.

How many people in your friend list you have? I have only 9 which sucks cuz I want to trade a lot.

>>58115243
Nice

>>58116061
like 70 i think

>>58115939
...

They should have made Blissey have the ability to heal any Pokemon on successful coinflip and Espeon only able to heal itself. It's thematically inconsistent for it to be the other way around - unless Espeon was working with Wish mechanics that healed the next turn or something.

>>58116487
Fuck your shiny and fuck your gold, they make your GP useless for everyone else.

I'm so used to energy shaving Pokemon being coinflip effects that I automatically overlooked Feraligatr but it doesn't need a coinflip so it's actually a non-ex Beedrill. 3 energy's still pretty heavy though

Why is there still no fucking "open all packs" function in the gift box?

>>58116500

>>58116494

Surely you understand that the RNG cannot be biased against you, personally, right?

>>58117326

Why? I can't even trade the rainbow Mew.

Yeah after doing the math they 100% need to make pack points universal. I have so many points wasted across sets, and even if you combine them it only leads to 2800 total which is enough for 2 trainer full arts.

>>58117503
3 2* cards in 1 year? Your greed is hurting the economy!

>>58117503
if you want a full art trainer you're retarded frankly

>>58117538
why? I like the 2D art and they are more likely to stay meta compared to a full art normal pokemon card.
>>58117530
I didnt realize how greedy this retarded game was until now. Has one of the worst spark/pity systems ever.

>>58117547
It's greedy because the packs never expire.
What I would do is make the packs expire forever after a year and make all the rate cards tradeable after that, it would make the whales expend while poorfags can still get any card they want

>haven't pulled a single Porygon-Z, got just one from WP and missed 7 so far
I even already pulled my other 2 chase cards from the set Shiny Glaceon ex and 2* Lanturn ex

I'm convinced every copy of Pokémon TCG Pocket is personalized, and my copy completely removed Magby from the Ho-Oh packs.

>>58117865
I only got Pichu and Magby from wonder picks. I've opened over a hundred packs and only saw a Pichu after WPing both of them.

>>58117865
>he got the 0235647 seed and not the 76483332 seed
Lmao

>>58117853
I don't think lusamine works in a deck like this

>156/161 cards this set
>Only got one copy of several cards
Insane. I don't think I have ever had this issue and I'm on premium and spent over 400 hourglasses.

>>58117944
Have you done a breakdown on the cards missing and from what pack, just so you're not opening the wrong one.

>>58117944
You have godly luck actually. I've spent 3 to 4 times the hourglasses you have on these packs and I still have zero copies of certain cards including 2 diamond. But this happens to me literally every single set, without fail. I'm convinced at this point that there's some kind of seeding going on, because the variance here is way too abnormal.

>>58117944
>>58118047
...

You should always stop rolling when you have 30 cards left to unlock in an expansion, get those cards through tradea, and expends your remaining points in your favorite expansion till you get the card you want or reach pity rate

>>58118282
>get those cards through trades
With what spare exs?

>>58118310
Old Exes

>opponent has a paypig deck with only full arts
>he flips 10 heads with misty
This game isn't p2w btw

How to fix the game:
>every new main expansion give players 1 preset deck from the expansion similar to when they gave away a deck token earlier in the year
>Release two expansions in 1 go for free, giving all cards to players to build variety
>Ranked variety where EX's/Diamonds etc get banned for a season
>universal packpoints
>story mode that involves becoming the best trainer in the Pocket League
>add pop up emotes in game

>>58118374
Dual packs at least should have a deck you can buy.

>>58118319
What spare old exs

>>58118381
Bro, your 5 starmie exs?

The Worlds' stream on Twitch have a x12 Hourglasses drop.
Yes, you need an account.

>>58118388
You also get a card sleeve/coin/deck box

>>58118385
Hmm?

>>58118388
I'm not getting any progress for it.

>>58118410
skill issue

>>58118410
It's fine now

>>58118421
>>58118429
Noice.

>>58118399
Do I actually have to watch the gay stream for exclusive cards?

>>58118399
That's for TCG Live, not Pocket.

>>58118421
>>58118429
I cleared the mission how tf do I get the rewards?

>>58118282
This doesnt work alot of the time.

>GA: Sandslash/MarowakEX
honest fighting energy damage output. Marowak Ex was for MewtwoEX/ArticunoEX hail mary's. Most fun season.
>MI: aerodactylEX with Hitmonlee and Marshadow
kick the bench, get revenge. Love this one still.
>gen4 sets: used Gyarados EX/Greninja/Druddigon/Misty
I am not sorry. gen 4 era was insanely unfun.
SR: Meowscarada/BeedrillEX/TeamRocket
I love deleting energy

dropped out for a while because the meta was unfun.
started playing again today with
>WoSaS: UmbreonEX/Greninja/Darkrai. It isn't good, but it catches opponents offguard because of the amount of control and chip damage

free2play sucks I'm always missing two cards from the new hot decks. As soon as I figure out a Xatu/Will deck I think I'll be set for life.

Anaheim pocket streams tomorrow?

Dead game dead general

>>58115365
GA: Never managed to get a great deck going. Koga, Blaine, and Surge were kinda fun though.
MI and STS: Drudd/Greninja/Wigglytuff ex with fire + water energy. It was actually pretty good and I miss playing it.
TL and SR: Nothing, TL hard tanked my interest in battling I hated it so much.
CG: Oricorio/Greninja/Wigglytuff, with which I had an insane winrate for the first week of launch where DarkTina was free wins and the majority of the playerbase hadn't adjusted to the bird yet. Probably the most fun I've had with this game.
EC and EG: Skipped both
WSS: Haven't really done much ranked yet. Played a little bit of Magcargo but that's it.

>>58118946
rest in piss

>>58115365
GA I could not get all the pieces to reliably run Mewtwo+Gardevoir, so I just stuck with either getting lucky with Articuno+Misty, or just using Starmie
MI I had fun with Celebi+Serperior but it fell off fast
STS I did a lot of toying with Dialga decks to make some metal sets work, and I tripped up a lot of people with Dialga+Melmetal
TL I just stuck with Arceus+Carnivine, worked out well enough
SR it was Beedrill+Meowscarada all the way, had to combat the Darktina spam somehow
After CG, it's just been some variation of Stokezard for me, CG was Stokezard alone, EC was Stokezard+Silvally, EG was Stokezard+Sylveon, and I have not changed it for WSS

>>58118429
>>58118421
so the hourglasses are the only relevant thing for pocket?

>>58119363
Yeah, wait for next year when Pocket gets its own event and they start pumping out cosmetics for it.

>>58117309
Yes, but they were all in different card games.

>>58117316
Eevee can still brick. Less than other decks for sure, but it's not brick-proof.

Oh no no no!
I assume Evoharmony Sylveon is better in meta but this event deck is the perfect bait for Espeon.

>>58117865
Mine removed scizor, typhlosion, skarmory, donphan

Why the fuck are Japs such sore losers holy shit? My guy we are on Great Ball 3, there is nothing at fucking stake.

>>58119639
Alolan Raichu + Ori was my auto deck for this, one shots both Ho-Oh and Blissey as soon as they set up.

I thought that the Ho-Oh and Lugia shit was bad but this isn't even the worst gacha game art debacle I'm seeing this month

I finally got something good from wp.

>>58120053
草

>Pulled a 2nd crown Nihilego trying to get Lusamine
So are there good poison decks?

Final results from this promo battle event, amazingly I got more Blisseys than anything else.

>>58120255
I;ve seen people using Nihilego with Crobat and it seem to be effective

>>58120425
This is the most even spread I've ever had

>>58120425
they knew i'm kingdra's strongest soldier

Wow thanks.
Is the Ho Oh Snorlax deck good?

Regular tcg bro here, got the hourglasses code from the twitch rewards I don't need. hope it's useful for you guys
JWW34JTV0P8VBPL14X

>>58120525
>already been used
Oh well. Thank you anyway bro.

>>58120525
Gottem, thanks

>>58119639
>Evoharmony Sylveon
That card is good against everything because its stupidly trivial to meet the condition for it in an Espeon Sylveon deck.

>>58117665
>4 Meganium
I’ve done multiple wonder picks and pulled many Lugia packs and I still only have one Meganium. I want more so I can get the profile icon. At least I was able to get an immersive Lugia, a full art for Lyra and a rainbow border full art for Espeon without using any pack points.

What deck did you use to get to master rank? I’ve tried all the “meta” decks but I’m stuck between ultra 2-3…
The majority of the games feel like I’m just fighting my deck rather than my opponent. If I’m not bricking, I’m not drawing cards I need atm while my opponent has everything he needs to win


Is there a consistent strong deck? I’ve tried oricorio pichu and that deck can brick, I’ve tried espeon ex but that deck seems to be countered hard this week.

>>58114292
holy fucking based. hope you're doing well bud

>>58120757
guzzlord is the strongest to climb at any rank
here

>>58120790
No Will?

>>58120815
you can put it in for mars, its optional

>>58120790
forgot why I stopped playing this deck but I just gave it a few games because anon was asking for a good deck to get to masters with

it's literally too easy, it's not fun

>>58120790
This deck has always been brickproof for me.

>>58120968
yeah thats why I run this version, it's better than the Naganadel version
every single game I get guzzlord 4 energies by turn 4

It only took until my birthday to get an Espeon. It's Planeta, but I'm not going to complain.

>>58121003
happy birthday cutie :)

And if you wanna be down with Wisdom of Sea and Sky, fuck you too

>>58120968
You mean, there might be some kind of bug in the game that makes you always start with Poison Barb? That would make sense.

>Can't create a Pokémon account
I want my hourglasses you fucks!

>>58119916
I don't get it.

anyone else keep misplaying? it's starting to really piss me off. I tell myself its because the games so braindead I tune out but I know i'm just a shitter

>>58120425
Hello fellow 9 Blisseys owner.

Can baby Pokémon evolve?

>>58121122
No

>>58121122
Whenever they make cards that say "evolves from such and such babymon"

>>58117720
I improved it, what do you think?

It's odd but this entire set feels like vaporware. I guess it's because I'm not really bothering with ranked this season.

>>58121063
Even if you don't get poison barb right away, Guzzlord is fat enough to stall out until you get one.

>Keeps putting all 4 Eevees at the bottom of the deck
>3 games in a row

FUCK YOOOOOOU

>>58121174
wtf are you running besides eevee

>>58121023
You're complaining about a 8% chance to fail to get a 2* is unrealistically low, when the chance to get a 2* on any one pack is far, far lower than 8%. You can't just redefine the threshold to "statistically probable" based on whether you're benefitting or getting shafted

Along with the 0.5% odds as the 4th card, it's once every 40 packs, so with 100 packs expecting a single 2* is not unreasonable, and being annoyed that the only 2* I got was from WP

>>58121240
>>58121216
Oops, I don't mean to passive aggressive post

>>58121192
2 stagers or babies

She's kind of cute but the card is trash and it will cost me 15 gold ingots. I also only have 1/5 chance to get it. What do I do guys?

>>58121273
dont do it

>>58121273
>15 gold ingots
I wouldn't pay that for 1/1 chance. People complain about shinies but I'd rather get one than a hyper specific use trainer.

>>58121273
Onix sucks all around. Not worth unless she's your waifu

>>58121268
Why are you running fucking babies in an Eevee deck?

>>58120629
Hence why I figure it's better than Espeon 9/10 times but I still don't want to get rid of Energy Crush tech

>Got two shiny Magnemite and a Magneton
There's a brew in there somewhere but Pichu kind of killed Pachirisu and Magneton.

Finally.... I can rest....

This card would have been usable if it had 1 retreat cost. Part of what makes Espeon EX so oppressive in comparison is it can weave in and out of the frontline for heals. Umbreon should have been like that instead, luring a weakened backliner to the front and going into the bench so a heavy hitter can finish them off.

>>58117503
>>58117503
Yeah after doing the math they 100% don't need to make pack points universal. You have so many wasted points across sets, and even if you combine them it only leads to 2800 which is enough for 2 trailer full arts - meaning that's 2 full arts you'd spend less $$$$ attempting to get.

>>58121469
>Umbreon
>Not usable
Some of you faggots have the most absurd standards. You really only play the most tippy top broken decks?

>>58121486
Yes, and also they complain evey time they brick or play first

>>58121486
you don't understand, every card that doesn't immediately win me the game and then offer me a beej under the table is dogshit

>>58121486
Sorry, wrong Umbreon.

>>58121548
What wrong with this?. It seems like a decent stalling option. Ir is it just poor match ups against the best stuff

If the game's going to make that fancy effect or sound when you open a pack with a shiny at least make it only apply to a shiny ex

>>58121486
You're givng up 4 slots in your deck when you can just have one cyrus. It's complete dogshit

>>58121573
Yeah it doesn't really matter to any real deck that uses basics.
>Weak to grass so Buzzwole will just come in and out and give her the Big Beat
>Darktina just uses passive damage anyway
>Makes your deck more brickable

Might be annoying to Barry decks I guess

Give me your thoughts. Balanced or cancer?

>>58121583
it's actually shit
would probably never even get played for the meme
genuinely useless set of cards

>>58121583
Would give Ninjask 130 HP instead, and Shedinja should just burn (no coinflip).
Running a Grass / Psychic deck is a disaster waiting to happen so the rewards need to be bigger I think

>>58121583
>shedinja blurb
Made me sad

And here's my latest game-saving card.

>>58121644
But wait! Check the combo tech.

Was it a healthy contribution to the game?

>>58121306
>>58121298
>>58121283
I'm so fucking dumb...

>>58121678
Yes, its design looks better with every expansion
Strong enough to be a consideration for deck building against, but not so broken that it's mandatory in every deck, not even Electric ones

I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF DARKRAI AND GIRATINA

>>58121644
>activates Lyra

>>58121273
bottom left

>>58121678
It saved the game from being EX slop so yes. Its sad that darkrai giratina is still good but we have lots of meta forever cards like buzzwole sylveon silvally and zard

I give it 4 months before we have 300+hp Pokémon

I ALREADY HAVE THE NORMAL EX, THE FA AND EVEN THE RAINBOW BORDER OF THIS FUCKER AND THIS FUCKING GAME GIVES ME ANOTHER FA?! IT'S MY ACCOUNT CURSED OR SOMETHING?!

>>58122232
I got double rainbow Kingdra ex then pulled the Planeta and the regular a few packs later

>>58122369
AT LEAST KINGDRA LOOKS COOL!

>>58122441
>Liking Kingdra but not Shuckle
Shit taste beyond belief.

>>58121678
Yes

Um, how the fuck are you supposed to get the pack codes from watching the fucking TCG games on Twitch?

>>58122576
The card moving bothers me

>>58122651
This one doesn't

>>58122650
> "To receive your Twitch Drop code, locate the Giveaway panel below the tream panel on Pokemon TCG Twitch page"

What fucking "giveaway" panel?

>>58122650
>>58122670
> "Link your Pokemon Trainer club account with Twitch"

They don't fucking have that option...
Fuck this, I'm going to watch some Shoujo Ramune instead.

>>58122576
>>58122651
>>58122666
The moving card makes more sense. I mean, she's dancing. You try dancing on a strip of cardboard and see if it stays still.

>>58122683
>"Anon, you need to link your Trainer Club account from the Trainer Club site!"

uh oh melty!
anon can't read so he's having a melty!

>>58122721

>>58122683
They use a separate site to link the accounts.
https://rewards.pokemon.com/

>>58122741
Thanks anon. Why is this not listed on the fucking flier >>58122738

They are taking away from my precious loli goon time for this bs

>>58122746
>pedo
>is extremely fucking retarded and completely incapable of doing anything without being handheld
haha, classic.

>>58122753
Not my fault the official tweet and official flier with official instructions gave incorrect info. Nowhere does it mention the rewards site. Just ambiguous "panels" that don't exist and "account linking" that isn't an option in their site. Having to play an ARG to find a account link page is retarded.

Boy do I enjoy starting a match playing first, having only one single basic in my hand with no pokeball or usuable supporter besides silver, and then check the opponent's hand only to find he has two eevees and espeon EX instantly, how FUN!

Is there a link here? Nah.

>>58122772
Oh, but there's a link in the quote tweet!
Maybe that has more info!

>>58122772
>>58122775
>That’s not all—tune in to the 2025 World Championships livestreams on Twitch.tv/Pokemon with Twitch Drops enabled in your settings to score even more goodies in Pokémon TCG Live, pack hourglasses in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket

Sweet! Is there a...link to the rewards site here? Nah...Let's skin ahead to the TCG Pocket section, maybe the writer just omitted it from the intro paragraph...

>>58122772
>>58122775
>>58122784
Oh! Super helpful information! This tells me all I need to know.

My point is, anon clearly got the link from somewhere. That's fine. It was mentioned somewhere, but someone dropped the ball hard on communication since none of the immediate areas you'd go for to get instructions actually tell you where you need to go. The official flier flat out just lies and says there's a "giveaway panel" when there isn't one. It's just very bad UX, and I'm not even sure if my viewership will even count now cause the stream seems to be over (?)

I'm not going to fuck around with twitch and accounts and linking and codes just for one day's worth of hourglasses. I'm just not going to do it.
