get your orders in.

i actually think these are really fucking cute, despite the retarded tranny shit. also, like, the concept is retarded on the basis that you could just shave the tip of a male pikachu's tail to make it look like a female one. and you could literally just cut the entire tip of the tail off if your pikachu is ftm. like you don't need to do the retarded tailgrafts.

i can't believe i'm even thinking this hard about something so retarded

Huh, I always assumed Pikachu's tail was hard bone/cartilage. It never occurred to me it might be fur.

But how can you make money off the mentally ill if you don't put a tranny tailgraft on it?

 

[Archeops]

Well, after posting earlier I proceeded to find two more Shinies (Forretress and Makuhita) yesterday. I did a Bug-type Sparkling Power hunt today and found two Shinies (Slither Wing and Venomoth) and proceeded to find a surprise Shiny Pawmo immediately after.

Didn't Ash's Pikachu do something like this once?

I believe he did it during the BW ere, specifically during the near-end of the Unova seasons.

Yes, they were trying to sneak into an all girls gym, (Erica's if I'm remembering correctly) so Ash and Pikachu crossdressed.

Make of that what you will.

True, but that was before female Pikachu's tails were changed to be heart-shaped in Gen IV.

Do not expect any more pokegold builds right now. What I did up to that point was optimisations. I might comment out some more unreferenced code, make TMs infinite-use and find a better was of skipping over the Daylight Saving Time dialogue, but I honestly cannot do much more until The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk get released.
I might look more seriously into the pokecrystal16 project, which expands indexes to 16-bit values, bu that would break compatibility with a lot o flashcarts and emulators. I might expand tha to 9-bit indexes, but that may cause alignment problems. Even then, I might only expand the move indexes, since adding all of the old Pokémon might be too much, whereas I frequently ran into a lack of room regarding moves.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game Online's servers were shut off this morning and someone streamed the game's death as it happened.

Now we're stuck with the craptastic game that is The Pokémon Trading Card Game Live.

in unrelated occurrences, I spent my procrastination time on building teams for every generation and Hisui today

Spoiler: the trainer cards in question

I tried to stick with new Pokemon (outside of Hisui) as opposed to regional variants and attempted to stay away from stuff like Legendaries and UBs/Paradoxes/etc, but with Paldea I didn't have enough non-Legendaries that I liked to compensate and in Alola I didn't have enough non-Variants. Ah well.

I like how these came out- though doing the gen 6+ ones made me remember how dogshit the new maker is. Hardly any trainers from before gen 8 to choose from and for some reason random Pokemon don't have their official artwork listed as options when you choose them (Pumpkaboo doesn't, at the very least). Feels half-baked and is super annoying to navigate. Doesn't even have an option for badges...

Anyways, if you wanna make your own you can do so here: https://tcm.pokecharms.com/
The old card maker stops at gen 6 outside of Pokemon (it still has menu sprites for 7 onwards) whereas the new maker has every mon in home renders, menu sprites, and (sometimes) official artwork. They're both very different, but I personally prefer the old one.

if you watch the cartoon for any other reason than burning time or seeing meowth i hate you personally

Honestly, rewatching the first season twenty-five years into knowing what we know now has been real interesting because it's considered "dated" now, but you can see through the cracks a lot of world-building that sadly goes obsolete. Even watching early character interactions are pretty fun because Ash wasn't considered the "Chosen One" at first, he was a total rookie whom people got frustrated at but his determination and learning curve got those same folks to respect him.

I mean ffs Prodessor Oak in the beginning was definitely senile but he's actually dismissive of Ash on top of being a bit senile/flighty. It's almost like he wasn't exactly all that close with him at all--which is why Pokémon 4ever is such a weird concept to have in canon (and it's really not, but apparently all movies are considered canon now like wtf) because his attitude towards Ash doesn't suggest that in the slightest. No way he believed in Ash from the start, he was more on Gary's side until the Orange Islands when he started becoming more buddy-buddy with Ash and therefore more supportive. Though I think he was friends with Delia before then, it's been so long, I need to get further into the rewatch for that confirmation.

Also hearing how the dub sounded in the beginning is intriguing to me, because the VAs haven't gotten comfy yet and James was first played by Ted Lewis until episode eight (probably because he just couldn't quite get a whiny, crying James to sound right so Eric Stuart took over, but as compensation he became Giovanni so all's well that ends well), and Nathan Price had a neat spin to early Meowth that sadly didn't carry over to Maddie Blaustein, but she played him so well that listening to Nathan's performance is almost alien. I wonder why it was Nathan left, exactly.

apart from misty, oak, jessie and meowth, the dub is horrific
every character keeps emoting through sighs and groans, and i can't suspend my disbelief as most sound overly cartoony

as for the story, it feels formulaic like hanna-barbera, but i guess you wouldn't have much time to develop a unique story every episode if they had to be produced semimonthly or whatever

overall i think the subbed version is better because the stuff onscreen feels more in-place, plus they had cool songs like meowth singing

https://tc.hnys.jp/ This site is pretty good too.

I had no idea this existed until now, thank you for the link
It looks so much better for gen 6+ than the new maker too

EDIT:

I can't read moonrunes so I couldn't fully understand what the site wanted from me, but I got through it well enough and managed to make this
Not a fan of the 3D models but that's pretty much my only complaint
Love it otherwise
Thanks for the link dude

 

[Lurker]

man I sure do love catching shinies.

I especially love shiny golduck. I love shiny golduck so much I have FOUR OF THEM. who needs or wants other shinies when golduck exists

edit: my card best card

 

[Executive Petrel]

the card generator made me realize how fucked up the pokemon introduced in gen 6 and 9 were.
It was easiest to get a full roster in gens 1, 4 and 5, I could've had a second party filled without hestiation whom to add to the team.
Kalos and paldea have roughly a hand full of good mons, especially in kalos i dont like this, cute clean washed design.
You know, those cartoonish eyes from pokemon like litleo and Helioptile. They look like toys you'll get from a candy grabber.

The second Pokémon TCG set, Scarlet & Violet: Paldea Evolved, was just released yesterday and the 6 most expensive card in the set are...

Spoiler: My thoughts on the prices above

I can't say I'm too surprised by Iono taking the first two spaces but I'm shocked to see that the Illustration Rare Magikarp and Tyranitar are that much. I expected Dendra and Chien-Pao to go for their respective amounts, Chien-Pao is a decent attacker with a nice Ability that pairs well with another Ability-powered Energy accelerator released in this set (Baxcalibur) while Dendra is largely based on the usual waifu tax.

Oh, and even though we're only two sets into Scarlet & Violet I'm really pleased to not see any cards over going for hundreds of dollars like some of the secret-rares did during the SWSH era.

The Pokémon TCG Live app also dropped the set on Thursday. The new battle pass includes two new free decks (Chien-Pao ex/ Baxcalibur and you also get Forretress ex/Ambipom) and the notable freebies are more Chein-Pao ex, Wo-Chien ex (which you presumably swap out the Ambipom lines in the free deck for), a Shaymin V/VSTAR set, and a Secret Illustration Rare Iono.

How would that work with Iron Tail though?

Could be worse, Energy Cards could cost 40 bucks a pop.

Source: I play Magic and lands are always the most expensive bullshit in a deck.

PS : The Pokemon TCG is weird, Ya'll let Trubish just be a thing for years.

 

[The Ultimate Ramotith]

I managed to use up my old passcode cards in the new Pokémon Card Online.
Most of the cards worked as-is, bu the starter decks from old out-of-rotation sets got me 25 coins, instead.

Funny you should mention that, there are some Energy cards that sell for a pretty penny but that's only because they're holos/reverse-holos from older sets or they're promos.

PS : The Pokemon TCG is weird, Ya'll let Trubish just be a thing for years.

I remember that one, that was fun deck since you could KO some EXs with very little effort thanks to Siglyph. And we can't talk about Trubbish without bringing up the annoyance that was Garbotoxin Garbodor.

That's probably due to the products not being available in Live. Now you've got me worried over my excess League codes...

Maybe it was Garbodor I was thinking of, whatever it was that let you Draw two and discard two every turn.

As a Magic Player the fact that thing existed and was just allowed to run free every turn astounds me, Just doing that effect once or twice broke formats.

 

[Archeops]

Maybe it was Garbodor I was thinking of, whatever it was that let you Draw two and discard two every turn.

Garbotoxin Garbodor didn't do that, it disabled all Abilities (except Garbotoxin) if a Tool card was attached to it.

As far "discard X amount of cards from your hand, if you do draw Y amount of cards" effects goes there are a few Pokémon that come to mind.

1. Claydol (Diamond & Pearl: Great Encounters, its Poké Power let you put up to two cards from hand into the bottom of your deck and draw cards until you have 6 cards in your hand)
2. Ninetails (HeartGold & SoulSilver, Discard a Fire Energy from your hand and draw three cards)
3. Empoleon (Black & White: Dark Explorers, discard a card from your hand and draw two cards)
4. Zoroark-GX (Sun & Moon: Shining Legends, same effect as Empoleon)
5. Cinccino (Sword & Shield, same effect as Empoleon)
6. Radiant Greninja (Sword & Shield: Astral Radiance, similar to the previous three but the card you discard has to be an Energy card)

I'm 99% sure I'm missing a couple of cards and this doesn't go into Pokémon that draw from the deck in general or mess around with your deck.

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

Garbotoxin Garbodor didn't do that, it disabled all Abilities (except Garbotoxin) if a Tool card was attached to it.

What as the thing that let you loot every turn that Dominated Standard a couple of years ago then? I could have sworn it was a Trubbish/Garbodor card.
