Your physical cards probably aren't worth shit, but check sites like Trollandtoad, eBay and TCGplayer for the shinier ones to see if you can make a decent 5-10 bucks off them before you ask in the thread. We don't have the prices memorized for every single card.
To see what your PTCGO stuff is worth, look on the PTCGO forums in the trading section. For example, Top Cut Trading inc

What a waste of time
well, i'm done.
Let's try to understand the Pokemon timeline
We know there are two different dimensions. One with Megas, and one without, but which games go into which dimensions?
>>24608346
So do the remakes all go into the Mega Evolution timeline? XY is stated to go on or just a little bit after BW.
>>24608315
Since Mega Evo's aren't a canon thing in any previous game, and that lore canon is different(Rayquaza stopping Groudon/Kyorgre, now is the first pokemon to ever Mega Evolve etc.)
>>24608315
I agree with most of the stuff in that image. Parfum Palace was build 300 years ago after a war with neighbouring regions - in it are statues of Reshiram and Zekrom.
I remember hearing a theory that AZ went to Hoenn after the war 3000 years ago; he planted the tree in Sootopolis near Cave Of Origin. In the flowers around it is the Eternal Flower which is carried by his Floette

So CoroCoro will leak next week. Do you expect any news? If yes then what would it be?
More Zygarde tease? Or even some details about the next game?
More Pokemon GO details? There wasnt any news for two months now.
Shiny event will end next week so it wont be in CC
Anime already started and its too early for movie details so thats out of the way aswell
Tretta Z already covered
SMD hype in Japan is dying down
Pokken is covered by famitsu, not CC so Shadow Mewtwo shouldnt be mentioned
Any other predictions/expectations?
Zygarde 200% reveal
I don't even care anymore. It's clear GF doesn't know what makes pokemon good. Doesn't help the 3ds is a garbage system either
>>24608034
Is being a contrarian any fun? Does it pay well?
To help stem gen warfare on /vp/, I shall be posting Fucking Top Notch and Not So Hot designs by generation, proving that each gen has tons of great shit, and all should be appreciated.
Rules:
-Fully evolved designs are the only ones judged, though they MAY be judged in relation to their prevos. Example: Poliwrath, which is a pretty okay design as a standalone, but a fucking lazy piece of shit when keeping Poliwhirl in mind.
-No legendaries. I don't personally use them them, and I don't particularly care what they look like.
>Notes on Gen 1 decisions:
>I'm a Blastoise guy, but the cannons are fucking stupid for such an organic line. Shoulda kept the watery, fluffy, flowy thing Wartortle had
>Lots of LITERALLY JUST A _____ designs here
>Hitmontop > Hitmonchan because I don't generally like extremely humanoid designs, and the potato body is charming
>I don't care what you say, Exeggutor is the hottest shit
Other gens to come later-- this shit takes a while. So, I don't know precisely how these next gens are gonna play out. Gonna be interesting to see if some are better or worse than I remember.
>>24607787
>exeggutor
>top notch
Dude, it's just a palm tree with faces on the coconuts.
I prefer War and Charmeleon as-well.
But I think the less complex a design, the more it's likable.
I can't see how you dislike any of gen 1's designs though. And my first gen was gen 2.
>Notes on Gen 2 decisions:
>Tons of one-mon lines. Very mixed bag, those.
>Heracross is best.
>Fuckloads of bad-but-cool mons (Ledian, Xatu, Sudowoodo)
>Designs increasing in complexity, but still pleasingly simple. Probably the best balance in gens on the scale between "boring shit" and "overdesigned trash."
>>24607818
He's cool. Dopey, squat, psychic palm tree. That's creative and fun. I like him.
>>24607836
I think there's a difference between simple and boring. Primeape is simple. Sandslash is simple. Snorlax is simple. Raticate, Persian, and Seaking are fucking boring and have nothing that particularly stand out about them.
hey guys, look at the line in front of Nintendo world right now.
Scared yet?
>>24607778
At what?
>>24607778
What is this the line for yokay watch?
>>24607826
I doubt it.
The kiddies wouldn't be out that late.

Why does Confuse Ray work better when CPU trainers use it? This is bullshit.
bad luck

You remember the times it is bad for you more than the times it is good for you.
This selective memory makes it seem skewed.
Since it was confirmed that we are going straight to gen 7 - what do you expect? What are your hopes and dreams regarding new generation?
>>24607564
Bigger region
Bigger routes
Bigger cities/towns
More routes
More locations that branch off routes
More exploration
>>24607564
>confirmed
there a source besides your ass?
>>24607577
>he hasn't heard the anouncement
I went to google for this problem, but couldn't find an answer.
I've been using the 5 trainers you can rematch on Battle Resort to level up some Pokemon for dex entries, but for some reason I couldn't rematch them yesterday or today.
Anyone ever have this issue?
>>24607371
Maybe you were changing the hour in your 3ds
>>24607375
I did this a few days ago because of shitty daylights saving time. This was my first thought too, but it's been longer than 24 hours since I changed the time.
I managed to find some stuff on google. Apparently it takes several days for the internal clock to adapt to the change of time.
Stats:
>all fully evolved pokemon gets at least 500 BST
>all megas have 600 BST
>all fully evolved pokemon (including legends) have a maximum of 560 BST
Abilities:
>Parental Bond reduced to 25% extra damage
> -iate damage boost removed
>Huge/Pure Power reduced to 50%
>Prankster only gives priority to STAB status moves
>Protean reduces damage dealt by 20%
>flying type moves reduced by 30% when paired with Gale Wings
Moves:
>when transfered, all moves not learned by hatching or leveling up are removed
Types:
>grass resists fairy
>ice resists water
>fire no longer resists fairy
>fairy weak to grass
>fairy no longer resists bug
>steel resists dark and ghost
Would this solve all the problems with competitive, /vp/? Is every single "cancer" covered by this?
Yep, it's pretty perfect!
Limiting BST is too restrictive. M-Sableye is one of the best Pokemon yet it doesn't even have a 500 BST.
>>24607242
> -iate damage boost removed
Then it would almost be useless, I would say just give it a small boost like 10%.
>ice resists water
Make it resist dragon and flying instead.
>fairy weak to grass
Fairy and grass are very similar in style it should stay neutral.
>fire no longer resists fairy
Fire resists fairy magic, it's only fair to have an additional resistance as fire type. Fairy is already good.
>steel resists dark and ghost
Keep it as it is, steel gained super effectiveness against fairy and those resistances didn't make sense. Besides, steel is already reliable with the many resistances that it has.
The first thing that needs to happen is a base stats rebalancing so there will be less need for overpowered/gimmick abilities to make low stats Pokemon viable. This will have the biggest impact on the gameplay before changing anything else.
why didnt they make starters who can beat each other? AKA dark/grass chespin, psychic/fire fennekin and fighting/water froakie?
Japs are fucking retarded but you cant expect much from Pokemon anyway.
>>24607211
Why should they?
You're being a little serperior, opee.
>>24607222
Because that would make them more interesting?
lmao
