    Been the best since day 1

    Need to see the final evos but he’s in the running as of rn

  • I’m crashing out if any of the final starter evos are humanoids

  • Bought two packs of Paldea Evolved and two packs Obsedian Flames. Just to get started a bit. Get into collecting cards again.

    The best I got was one Ting-Lu ex (SIR)

    Super-cool card.

    Well happy with that.

  • Nayuta

    That’s the best water starter only second to greninja man have some respect

    I take oahawat as 2nd but I feel this

  • MattM

    Can't believe I hated on these mfs so much, but still ended up copping FireRed cause of nostalgia and the hype for Winds/Waves

    Currently at Celadon city, about to battle Erika.
    Rocking with Pidgeotto, Clefable, Growlithe, Raichu and Ivysaur.

    Probably gonna face the Elite Four with Snorlax or Clefable, Raichu, Kabutops, Arcanine, Dragonite and Venusaur.
    If I had someone IRL to trade with, I'd add Alakazam and Gengar instead of Snorlax and Raichu, but it is what it is.

    I wasn't gonna buy it but the vibes were too strong Friday. The ease of all my controllers just working right away is honestly worth it

    But honestly home and the tickets was what I was banking on before buying. So I would have gotten them for that alone

    I forgot how unfun the old pokemon games were lol, literally some battles are like pulling teeth because the gym leader will spam evasive moves so you miss every attack, then after 20 minutes you finally get them down to low health and they use a hyper potion

    I'm ngl I'm not trying to be a d*** but it's so f***ing easy if you know what's good mons/moves/etc lol

    Like butterfree with psychic and the powders could probably be sweeping all the gyms I've done alone and I've got the first 6

    I noted gyrados and Nidoking, both easy early game mons seem to be nearly indestructible

    @Butters1017 Here is a pic of a card with this pattern. I dont know what it is called (holo?), but I got a few of them. This is an old card. Bit rough around the edges from when I was a kid.

    I can't read the text on the bottom unfortunately lol. That holo style looks....off to me but I'm no master

    Maybe it's best for you to try the Pokemon card investing and collecting subreddits. They do this stuff all day

    Another one if someone can provide some feedback

    I have the Gastly as well.

    Base set 2, 43/130

    If this is holo and real it must be rare as f*** because yeah collectr doesn't show it as a holo at all but shows the nonholo7

    I already beat the game, it’s not hard, but yeah some fights just take forever because they spam evasion and you’re missing most attacks

  • TiddyTranquilo

    Yea I need to know final typings, evo, abilities, and signature moves before I'm anywhere near choosing one

    I like all their base designs anyways but also am wondering what the full dex will be. Like I wouldn't use fuecoco in gen 9 in either game cause I wanted the 2 charcedet evolutions way more.

    That's fair, but also why I got the one move on my hitmonlee that makes moves never miss haha

    You running thru the island stuff now?

    Ah s*** I should’ve gotten hitmonlee I forgot about attacks like that

    Yeah it’s my first time doing these islands they seem new to me, I think when I played back in the day I never went back and unlocked most of them

    Yeah, it says the same on the bottom of the Magikarp as well btw. Just a different illustrator, but same one also did the Dark Vaporeon.

    And they all look the same. Magikarp, Gastly, Haunter and Dark Vaporeon. I have four of those, with that shiny pattern on the card. Base 2 for the first three cards and Team Rocket on the Dark Vaporeon.

    Like everything else on the card looks real. Have to find someone that maybe knows more about them.

    Edit: I found a thread on reddit of a card with the same pattern. But someone just said "vending machine sticker" and "fake" in response on that reddit thread. Was only like two responses to a Magmar, which was the card. Hm, I dont know. From the print on the card and it not really being a "sticker", but maybe they are just fake. Either, they are very rare and people have just never seen that type or can remember... like the cards are damn near 30 years old. Or they are just some fakes from that era, maybe most points to this.

    Anyway, have no idea how I have them or how I got them. Look cool though. At least I found one thread or pic of someone who has a card like it on the internet.

    I dont know if you saw the pics I posted of the Suicune and Smeargle? Holo-foils. Two really nice cards imo!

  • Didn't even notice that I am way too underleveled atm. Fought Blue in that Team Rockets building where he had a lvl 40 Charizard while my strongest Pokemon was lvl 32. Still beat him but it was tough

  • Blaziken disrespect on the tl getting a little out of hand

    All in the honor of that duck

    pokotopia so soon

    Pokotopia is honestly a better name

  • I just realized it’s out tomorrow night 9pm we are close to pokotopia

  • maxxing

    I finally found dragonair in safari zone and it fled as soon as I threw the first bait

    Buy one at the game corner like a normal person bro

  • maxxing

    Great team

    Marowak is so GOATED

  • maxxing

    I just rushed through the game with blastoise and then caught a few mons late game

    Currently exploring the seven islands rn and i genuinely don’t remember a lot of this which is exciting tbh

    I gotta wonder if it’s just been so long or if I missed the ruby quest somehow

    The Sevii Islands are dope man. Such good “DLC” / post game content

  • Fever

    I'm legit so annoyed lol. I have no mon with cut because I finally put together a great team but can't decide which needs to be stuck with cut

    Surf on starmie and fly on Charizard is fine enough, but cut sucks. Probably getting rid of my butterfree but it's all I have with a psychic move atm and status moves

    Yeah it’s annoying tbh. Especially late game when you need multiple Pokemon in your party with HMs to get through Victory Road
