Any expectations?
>>24743054
I'm expecting shit. Litteral shit. I wont be disappointed.

>there are still people expecting game news in 2015
it's over, december is movie news month
So I'm making a deck based on this dragonite, sort of. I like that you can take 3 prize cards for knocking out an ex. I have 2 dratinis, 2 dragoniar, and 2 of the dragonite. The energy requirement is a lot so Im running 4 double dragon energy. The rest of the pokemon in the deck are grass and electric to match what the dragonite needs if I don't draw the double energy.
Now, should I add a 3rd dratini and dragoniar and then this other dragonite, so that I have a chance to heal?
I also have 3 eevees, 2 leafeons, and this leafeon lv x that I hold on my bench until there's enough ebergy in play to do sufficient damage. Problem is, I only have one so if it's in my prize cards, I'm screwed in that. Thoughts?

First of all, you should use legal cards.
Second, there's a TCG general. Use it.
What did they mean by this?
>tfw you play a new pokemon game years after it comes out on an emulator and you encounter a new pokemon that looks cool but have to abandon using it because it only evolves through trading
>4x weakness to Grass and Water
>Weak to Earthquake
>Weak to Ice Beam
>Weak to two common priority moves
Why haven't they done anything at fucking ALL to help Golem get competitively better?
>inb4 "Stell lekeng golum durr"
Fuck you and your memes
>>24742961
also the irony is strong with Golem, considering it's rock type but the guy absolutely hates SR and other hazard moves.
Also it got Rock Head but no Head Smash
>STILL liking Golem
I understand now
How does trade evolution work? Does the separation anxiety cause a Pokemon to suddenly evolve?
radiation from the trade technology
like evo stones
Machamp gains four arms from Graveller
Golem gains a lizard face from Machoke

What about Alakazam?

>play another 1400, finally get haxxed, lose 27 points of rating, an hour of laddering is gone because it takes so fucking long just to find a match
>play another 1400, get haxxed again (it doesn't take a lot of skill to click swagger and rock slide)
>another 27 points lost
Why am I even playing people 300...

Git goof
>not playing on showdown
Unless you're playing VGC (and I mean IN VGC, not actual championship with real judges and prizes not just the format) Showdown is 100% superior.
>>24742157
there is literally nothing you can do about swagger thundurus and scarf rock slide landorus other than run faster taunt thundurus and faster rock slide landorus. many archetypes that don't feature these genies are very strong and to put thundurus on your team just to taunt other thundurus while weakening the team overall doesn't make any sense. my main point is that BS matchmaking is fundamentally flawed and I just shouldn't. fucking. play. people. 300. points. below. me.
Mods are asleep quick postyour bro

Not exactly thread related but I got banned because using various method of making pokemons for vgc, is there any way to get unbanned? Send email and ask to get unbanned or reset game for example? Or do I need to buy a new game?
Anyone has any experience?
>>24743421
Backup your save in your computer, delete it in your game, play a little until you have access to online features, go to Game Sync to get a new ID, then go to Battlespot to get a new account, and finally restore your save.
How do you feel about "copying" teams? The only team I manage to win and have fun is copied from Cybertron. The one he used at worlds.
It's bad for Bo1 (I keep getting blown by random shit like HP Fire Thundurus) but it has three favorites of mine.
>>24743502
So your old ID isn't banned? You won't have to edit the new game sync ID on your older save?
I wasted my time it seems.
>fighting is super effective against ice
WHY? THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE
![hqdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/JMH0kP6.jpg "hqdefault[1].jpg")
except it does make sense you faggot
>he's never tried punching ice
>fighting is super effective against steel
I mean, Steel doesn't need less weaknesses, but what? I wouldn't want to punch steel.
If guns don't exist in the Pokemon world, why is there a move called Bullet Punch? How do they know what bullets is?
The same reason the Vanillite line inspired ice cream.
Guns exist, Pokemon are just more convenient.
It's based off the Bullet Train in japan.
ITT we explain the names of pokemon
For example, Charizard's name is derived from the words "charbroiled" and "wizard"
dusclops
probably dusk and cyclops
Excadrill is taken from Excalibur and escadrille.
Charizard = Char + Lizard.
Nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask
the mask isnt on his face tho
Why so serious?

XD
Somebody get this hothead outta here...
It's not fair. Gengar has been my bro since Gen 1, when I was a kid and way before I would grow to understand how strong he was.
Gen VI comes along and he gets a mega, so now I can evolve my bro even further. But they made it too strong, Shadow Tag is too much. People insta quit on Wi-Fi when I Mega Evolve and it sucks.
It just isn't fair.
well you don't have to use its mega
>>24741033
I dont insta quit, I just try my best to kill the fucker. Win or lose doesn't matter to me in the end.
>I'm very popular, strong as hell and always given the spotlight, woe is me
boo hoo
What do you think of Crustle?
>>24741027
He's ok. I like his design. Never really got around to using one.
Good design. Never used them.
he has rocks and bravest bird doesnt like that
