Yup

I hate that shit so much every time I see her disgusting art. Jessie is for James, Ash's mom is a prostitute.
Does anyone who actually plays the game have any idea whether the scenario that played out is possible? Like what does the Stadium card do to allow Bellossom to defeat that specific Groudon card.
this series features a lot of cards that don't actually exist (yet), so we have no idea what the frick the stadium actually does. it's especially hard to tell because ava's hand covers the blurry text
I understand the basics of playing the TCG due to playing the video game up on Switch, but even knowing the basic stuff it can be hard to follow what's happening, since they skip over mechanics to show the battle's outcome
Friendly reminder that Celestine HUMILIATED him in a childrens card game. The man is literally never going to recover. His reputation? In ruins. His livelihood? In shambles. His wife? Left him for Celestine. His daughter? Joined Edgars harem.
>Wife used to be a super nerdy girl obsessed with Pokemon card games >Gets beaten so hard she gives up entirely on the game >Becomes a Stacy >Marries the kid who destroyed her dreams
Man, WHAT A CHAD!! Dude literally built his ideal wife
there's evidence that implies that the boy who defeated her is the dad >The boy who defeated her used Pikachu, the Pokemon that shows up next to the Dad at the end is Pikachu, For every other character the Pokemon that showed up next to them was a Pokemon that was significant to them >the dad mentions that the mother used to defeat him all the at Pokemon until he learned the heart of the cards meaning he had to had defeated her once (after which she stops playing)
>main characters are all minorities >only person to give the main character any real trouble is a white man >white man loses not through better skill of his opponent but by total luck
Friendly reminder that Celestine only lost to Ava at regionals because of a coin flip. Ava is basically Joey Wheeler playing against better players with better cards and relies on blind luck to bridge the gap. Edgar even says her deck has a 72% failure rate.
> Edgar even says her deck has a 72% failure rate
I thought her was just trying to psych her out when he said that. Her oddish deck probably isn’t that bad. And even if it were how would he get the numbers, she’s presumably the only one using that deck yet she apparently never loses.
Ava's deck is public knowledge. And Edgar is a meta gamer, he isn't going to ignore what his opponents are playing. He probably built her deck, tested it out and came to the conclusion that her deck kinda sucks.
Ava's list would be public knowledge, so Team Falinks would know what's in it. They also obsessively test so it's not that much of a stretch for him to know that.
Jeez Bellossom is such an awful pokemon. Oddish is peak soul tho
I actually liked seeing Bellossom; Vileplume has a history of being significantly better than Bellossom in the TCG so it was nice to see it get some love.
I haven't watched this shit because I kept seeing a brown girl in the thumbnails. Now that I've confirmed it's even worse I won't watch it. Actually just remembered I need to look for the live action drama.
An affirmation isn't necessarily an opinion. In this case it's just simply something I did not do.
Go back to school or read some books, your brain is fried from so much goyslop.
I've finished The Histories by Herodotus and started The First Philosophers: The Presocratics and Sophists by Robin Waterfield. I recommend both.
oh shit, didn't think the thread would still be up. I finished my workout, went for a shower, read a book and went to bed. completely forgot about you
glad to see you're enjoying your self-destruction, keep going
[...]
good on you man. my recommendations were not related to this, it's simply what I've read recently
It's a shit card lmao. 3 whole energies just to do 110 dmg where most boss monsters have 200hp+. Torterra deck can hit up to 300 dmg with just 2 energies
Bro you know you don't have to pretend like the series was good to just say you wanna frick Ava and Celestine, we already know they're the cutest girls in the show.
There's many versions of each Pokemon, so there's likely versions of Pikachu that are really good, having other cards to help support it would likely help as well
>v cards are basic
what the frick
i never played the TCG but i remember reading the instruction booklets that came with the cards, doesn't this just mean you can just slap them down and have access to their spells/abilities/whatever (provided you have energy) and don't have to evolve it or any shit
Depends what you consider too P2W. They give you a few decks at the start that are pretty much 70% finished meta decks so you can use those and slowly build them. Getting gems for creating cards is slow though if you do it that way. Code cards are really cheap (~$.25 each) so I'd recommend getting a bunch of those, see what you pull, and use the gems you get to craft whatever you want.
Thanks, playing the tutorial right now. Game is surprisingly clean. I remember back in the day people around me playing the card game but despite liking Pokemon i never gave it a chance. Better late than never i guess
Watch out if you buy card with money, it's not like yugioh.
Pokemon works on rotation so make sure a deck you're looking to build isn't about to have all of its play makers rotated out of the format.
A shame you missed out on the hisuian zoroark deck >hyper consistent >draws so much of your deck you can include any counter card >one shots almost anything >also plays pokemon mystic mine aka path to the peak

Companies who don't heavily promote minorities get a lower EGS score and basically get blacklisted from applying for funding from a lot of major banks and financial institutes.
Surely Pokemon is a big enough company that they don't have to cater to the browns, right? Nobody wants to watch a sea of shit colored skin, hair and eyes.
What cards are likely in her deck? And how does it work?
She has an Oddish line, Scyther, Tropius, Cherrim and a Spoink. And the busted Darkrai. Are there any meta decks that use of of those cards? Pretty sure her Vileplume isn't a real card tho. I can't find anything that matches it. But I imagine at least a few of the other cards have to be real. This would be a bad commercial if you can't actually build any of the decks showcased.
If I had to guess, the Oddish line and Scyther are probably the ones from obsidian flames but I'm not sure about the others. The Scyther is pretty good but only because the new Scizor is strong and it can also evolve into Klevor which helps in some matchups.
So it seems like Grumpig and Cherrim are used for energy acceleration and the Scyther looks like its there to stall, sometimes, and maybe evolving into Kleavor to cheese a prize. And the Bellossom could be this. Ava seems to like her coin flips

They're the ones selling the cards as the emotion of family and friendship bonding.
There's literally nothing wrong with that
>Enemy is evil white male, who's despite having an arrogant streak is genuinely skilled at the game and even though he lost, he learned the same lesson about earnest joy for the game that the main character did, showed good sportsmanship in defeat and and is still widely respected as the one of the best players in the world.

Nothing Edgar did was bad. He was just good at the game and smug about it.

It's really is no surprise.
>is known for obsessive pokemon lesbian shipping (especially Jessie and Delia ketchum)
I hate that shit so much every time I see her disgusting art. Jessie is for James, Ash's mom is a prostitute.
Ava should've join Edgars harem
OH SHIT SHE DABBIN
Ginyu Force is based.
The Edgar hype team was the best part of the whole miniseries
why is every ep some shitty tournament?
its really getting old at this point
It was a 4 episode long mini series about tournaments. I don't know what you expected.
Does anyone who actually plays the game have any idea whether the scenario that played out is possible? Like what does the Stadium card do to allow Bellossom to defeat that specific Groudon card.
this series features a lot of cards that don't actually exist (yet), so we have no idea what the frick the stadium actually does. it's especially hard to tell because ava's hand covers the blurry text
I was expecting her to play the Path to the Peak stadium card but it didn't look like the same art
Groudon in the TCG is weak to grass if he’s ground type so easily possible. The show basically gave no fricks about the rules otherwise though
gg shake my hand
I thought they were going to reveal this kid was her dad
Likely is her read dad
I was expecting him to be Edgars dad. Same smugness.
I think is pretty obvious with Pikachu beign next to him at the end
Yep. Looked back at episode 2, and the dad was using an electric deck. Also he was wearing a Pikachu hat as well.
Same
Bellossom making an appearance at the finals was a pretty big surprise.
>90's fashion and aesthetic with vhs tape filter for flashback
>uses a card from like 2005
how old are her parents?
Just like their skin tone, it's a mystery.
Considering the father was singing the Orange Islands theme song, I'd say the parents about their mid-thirties
34/35 probably
2005 was 18 years ago bro, they are in their 30s.
Was it mindbreak?
>He kicked my ass at Pokemon and destroy my friends.....oh and i later married him
Honestly kinda fricked up when you think about it
The funny thing is there's no way it was intentional. He was, and is still, bad at the game. He got lucky and it completely destroyed her confidence.
NGL, she cute
This show is a disgrace to the actual tcg, even the imaginary gameplay hass nothing to do with the real game on top of having non-sensical mary sue mc
I understand the basics of playing the TCG due to playing the video game up on Switch, but even knowing the basic stuff it can be hard to follow what's happening, since they skip over mechanics to show the battle's outcome
They don't go into the minutia but everything they do show is accurate to the TCG.
The future is blasian, specially when China buck break Africa into their own cheap factory
So did this episode outright confirmed that Pokemon spirits are real?
I don't think so. The pokemon spirits are just Ava having schizo moments.
During the last scene, were shown from outside of Ava's perspective that the Pokemon spirits are around the children.
So what stadium card was this anyway?
It looks like it says Hideous Jungle
No stadium card that currently exists in English has Jungle in its name.
They allowed 20 year old cards into the tournament? Isn't that illegal due to set rotations?
There are a lot of cards, including Ava's Oddish, that don't actually exist
They will probably made them in the future for the show.
Good thing there wasn't someone stupid enough to spend twenty minutes trying to find it. Heh...
>Obligatory Westoid-entertainment humiliation of father-character
Friendly reminder that Celestine HUMILIATED him in a childrens card game. The man is literally never going to recover. His reputation? In ruins. His livelihood? In shambles. His wife? Left him for Celestine. His daughter? Joined Edgars harem.
God I wish Celestine would humiliate me
me too
I want a Magikarp cap too!
only $25 at a pokemon center!*
*permanently sold out, please buy for 60+ from reseller sites
How the frick did she do so well with 20 year old cards
That wouldn’t be allowed in official play anyway
I'm pretty sure she got new cards after the club episode. Did Darkrai even exist 20 years ago?
This image goes hard
Bellossom is gay
WHAT???
Ava's Oddish is a male. Evolving him into a Bellosom is gay. Same way evolving a male Ralts into a Gardevoir is gay
Oh, they mean very first LGBTQ Pokémon on PTTP shorts. Really?
Yup. Ava turned her Oddish into a troon.
>he doesn't want a cute femboy Gardevoir
>humilliates his opponent and impregnates her
Based.
Funny if true
Pokemon has something with beating your future husband/wife and impregnating her/getting inseminated by him, stories
It was better here because the father lost the battle, but impregnating the mother, winning in the long run
Where is this from?
Poketoon episode 3 or 4 i think. Is on Youtube
The funny thing is, you could easily look at this as a backstory for the Red and Green/FireRed and LeafGreen intro
this also the Leon/Sonia endgame
Oh, and Agatha definitely has a thing for Oak, but she is almost definitely NOT Blue's grandma
So Ava is gonna get COLONIZED.COM
She was BLACKED first actually
More like BEANED.com
Boy kicked her ass way too late
He's straight up Steven Universe but black
Edgar has had his eyes on Ava from the start
Edgar will start HRT by the age of 20
Edgar WILL impregnate his two asian teammates and then Ava
copium
Beta white males can always go for a light black.
Ava looks built for BWC
>Wife used to be a super nerdy girl obsessed with Pokemon card games
>Gets beaten so hard she gives up entirely on the game
>Becomes a Stacy
>Marries the kid who destroyed her dreams
Man, WHAT A CHAD!! Dude literally built his ideal wife
When did they say that
First minutes into the episode when she is telling her story as a pro player
there's evidence that implies that the boy who defeated her is the dad
>The boy who defeated her used Pikachu, the Pokemon that shows up next to the Dad at the end is Pikachu, For every other character the Pokemon that showed up next to them was a Pokemon that was significant to them
>the dad mentions that the mother used to defeat him all the at Pokemon until he learned the heart of the cards meaning he had to had defeated her once (after which she stops playing)
Circumstantial evidence suggests the kid Ava's mom lost to is in fact Ava's dad
They don't even have the same eyebrows
>main characters are all minorities
>only person to give the main character any real trouble is a white man
>white man loses not through better skill of his opponent but by total luck
What did they mean by this?
take your meds
man loses not through better skill of his opponent but by total luck
rent free, its a card game of course some luck is going to be involved
Friendly reminder that Celestine only lost to Ava at regionals because of a coin flip. Ava is basically Joey Wheeler playing against better players with better cards and relies on blind luck to bridge the gap. Edgar even says her deck has a 72% failure rate.

>analyzing a comment is self-destucting
Kys
Sex with World Champion Ava!
Beanie girl has some intense energy
Jeez Bellossom is such an awful pokemon. Oddish is peak soul tho
So is this even good in modern tcg pokemon? Third stage evo with 150 hp and an attack that does 110 damage if you win a coin flip. No ability.
If you can get it out quick yea
Why do they do that to the letters?
To make it look like the fake letters you see in the games?
It's a shit card lmao. 3 whole energies just to do 110 dmg where most boss monsters have 200hp+. Torterra deck can hit up to 300 dmg with just 2 energies
Hisuian zorark deck can one shot nearly everything with 400 damage, only takes 1 energy card, and can basically draw your entire deck.
That deck isn't even that good anymore.
This series was absolutely based and a fun meta-narrative on the real world game and intergenerational legacy of Pokemon.
It also features some fine ass blasian and latinx e-girls.
The inclusion of latinx makes it obvious. No need to give it (you)s
Bro you know you don't have to pretend like the series was good to just say you wanna frick Ava and Celestine, we already know they're the cutest girls in the show.
Threeways with Ava and Celestine <3
Why not the mother?, you deranged frick
Because the mother is used goods
>Gets fricked by an Asian male
Still a virgin then
Meds
>not making her orgasm for the first time
weak
I'll frick her too, just as soon as I'm done dicking down her sweet little daughter.
> Pokémon DEI and Pokémon ESG
This mini show kind of makes me want to play the card game. Can i really build a deck based on Pikachu and not get BTFO?
There's many versions of each Pokemon, so there's likely versions of Pikachu that are really good, having other cards to help support it would likely help as well
Raichu is being used in the current best electric deck if that's good enough.
Wasn't Vmax Flying Pikachu meta?
It was in the deck that won worlds last year actually.
>v cards are basic
what the frick
i never played the TCG but i remember reading the instruction booklets that came with the cards, doesn't this just mean you can just slap them down and have access to their spells/abilities/whatever (provided you have energy) and don't have to evolve it or any shit
Seems that way but it comes at the 'cost' of giving your opponent more prizes when they get knocked out
this is the worst pokemon related thing ever made
Does the TCG have a mobile version akin to Duel Links? I want to try it but i don't want to buy physical cards
It does! It's more akin to master duel except it's up to date with the physical release.
Cool! will try it out. How P2W is it
Not very. You are boned if you don't fully complete every single battlepass, however. So good luck getting started.
Thanks, playing the tutorial right now. Game is surprisingly clean. I remember back in the day people around me playing the card game but despite liking Pokemon i never gave it a chance. Better late than never i guess
Have fun anon!! I hope you enjoy it!
Watch out if you buy card with money, it's not like yugioh.

this whole miniseries was corny as frick and I found myself somewhat enjoying it anyway
this frame got a genuine chuckle out of me
They commercial worked for me. No i want to play
What's her name?
Chung Mei

Even if Ava is 13 you still do not lewd

Yeah no thanks.

Darn, Oddish is so good, I think I'm gonna hold on to my old cards since they are so good instead of buying the latest sets
Reminder
Why are there so many minorities in this calarts shitshow?
Companies who don't heavily promote minorities get a lower EGS score and basically get blacklisted from applying for funding from a lot of major banks and financial institutes.
Surely Pokemon is a big enough company that they don't have to cater to the browns, right? Nobody wants to watch a sea of shit colored skin, hair and eyes.
>Surely Pokemon is a big enough company that they don't have to cater to LGBTQ shits
You are right
Ava stood no chance
What cards are likely in her deck? And how does it work?
She has an Oddish line, Scyther, Tropius, Cherrim and a Spoink. And the busted Darkrai. Are there any meta decks that use of of those cards? Pretty sure her Vileplume isn't a real card tho. I can't find anything that matches it. But I imagine at least a few of the other cards have to be real. This would be a bad commercial if you can't actually build any of the decks showcased.
>This would be a bad commercial if you can't actually build any of the decks showcased.
If I had to guess, the Oddish line and Scyther are probably the ones from obsidian flames but I'm not sure about the others. The Scyther is pretty good but only because the new Scizor is strong and it can also evolve into Klevor which helps in some matchups.
That's some pretty good card-art
Card art is the one thing the pokemon tcg has over other cards games
I guess. I like how Scizor does the typical anime after-slash scene
Its honestly why the Pokemon TCG is as huge as it is. They just do whatever artsyle they want.
So it seems like Grumpig and Cherrim are used for energy acceleration and the Scyther looks like its there to stall, sometimes, and maybe evolving into Kleavor to cheese a prize. And the Bellossom could be this. Ava seems to like her coin flips
are they going to shill Oddish in every episode instead of giving a spotlight to a different pokemon?
How many episodes are there gonna be? I thought this one was the finale.
There's gonna be an epilog where it's revealed that Ava married Edgar
Fanfic when
>this was something people actually did for yamato
Holy shit someone did their homework
