Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

Watching /vp/‘s /tcg/ continuing to seethe over a deck that will rotate out after worlds winning NAIC is hilarious, especially with how terrible that Marnie’s Grimmsnarl deck was. The only saving grace was that it was played by a natal woman, and not another troon like that Millar fаggоt troon. It makes no sense to be upset by Gardevoir ex winning anything given how much has had to change to remain as consistent as it has and the fact the winning list changes a lot from event to event. Instead they don’t seem to have a grasp on the metagame and just want to complain that the same tera box deck they’ve piloted since rotation is falling out.

Having been to a fair amount of collectacons and other card shows, I don’t like the idea of attending an event where you can trade with other collectors. There’s too many scumfucks in the hobby that will happily steal from other collectors at worst and rip you off at best. TPCI is out of touch and doesn’t seem to know what kind of fuckery goes on at these events outside of their hosting. I remember back in the day pulling the mewtwo star as a kid at a card show and having a man in his 40s try to pressure me into trading it for a bunch of bulk that’s still below $1. He got angry at me over it, but I was glad that there were sensible adults there to tell him to fuck off.

I still have that card, but it serves as a reminder to be wary of a lot of shitty adults in the collecting hobby.

Anyone play any good romhacks or fangames lately? Considering brute forcing my way through Snakewood, but I'd like something that's not edgekino.

Emerald Crest is gearing up for a big overhaul 1.1 version that will break old saves, so I’ve mostly been tooling around there trying to complete the dex. It is another Emerald decompilation hack among thousands, but so far I’ve been enjoying it.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet offered up some excellent gameplay on Switch, but technical competence, performance - and decent visuals - were definitely off the table. While the core artwork has not been improved at all, the Switch 2 upgrade is a huge boost over the Switch 1 equivalent. In this video, Oliver revisits the Switch 1 version, finding that not much has changed since launch, while discovering just how much of a revelatory improvement Switch 2 horsepower and DLSS adds to the mix.

It's fixed now. Sort of.

I'm used to Pokémon games being displayed on a screen of 256x192 pixels, if not smaller.
I'm used to a character's "texture" being about 10 pixels wide, and not being able to see anything that was more than maybe 12 tiles away from yourself.

Sure, it would be nice if the trees and the grass looked better.
But if Game Freak is just trying to make a better Pokémon game, these things are some of the last things that I'm worried about.

If they had just made Scarlet and Violet in Orre, none of this would be a problem. Tree pop up? How? There's NO TREES.

TPCi changed the rotation dates a while ago, they’re in April rather than being in September like past seasons’.

The main problem with Gardevoir ex is that it's too consistent even when factoring in the changes it has made since its inception, you can occasionally sneak in a win with decks like Dragapult ex, Roaring Moon, and Raging Bolt but there are a lot of factors that put Gardevoir ex in a class that almost puts it into the Tier 0 category as Fusion Strike Mew/Genesect or Arceus VSTAR/Flying Pikachu VMAX.

That said Standard isn't as cucked as Expanded it, with one of Japan's recent Expanded tournaments being raped to death by Regidrago VSTAR decks.

You guys did remember to download your Wolfe Glick Incineroar via mystery gift before it expires tomorrow, right?

I completely forgot to do so but I'll probably trade for one at Worlds this year, I have enough spare event Pokémon to where I can part with one and not leave much of a dent in my collection.

Munkidori is proving to be more of an annoyance than budew in this format. I’m sort of disappointed in the decks dropping the basic beatsticks for more munkidoris and basic darkness energy. I’m not sure how megas will change things for the deck, but eventually it’ll have to hit a wall somewhere.

That all said, nothing is as cucked as a format where regidrago is still dominant.
