Oh hey! I disappeared for a few days. I've felt unwell and generally internet-averse, but I have a bit of energy tonight. You doing well?

And to answer your last question, Christmas will be a simple affair as always. We never visit and we rarely get visitors, it's a small and intimate occasion. The season is much more meaningful to me than the actual day anyhow.

That's not allowed. The basic Dark have no special effect. It would be imbalanced because no other type would have an equivalent on their basic energy.

Food was alright. Ceremony may have had some attractive women, but I was focused on graduating and being done.

I've always found it fun. And Dark Energy got their own Basic Energy type 4 years ago (same with Metal Energy) so Dark decks could be played more often (since those Special Dark Energy could only total 4 in a deck).

I vastly prefer the stuff in the TCG from the current generation over the games. New stuff every couple months because of new sets being released in Japan and a set being released in the US on that interval.

yes that is me

There may still be others.

I don't think Serebii does. PokeBeach does, I know that, and same with PokeGym (two sites more oriented toward the TCG). PTCO was an old site centered largely around trading. It died when it went down to hosting issues and it tried a short comeback in 2009 but that flopped.

Well yeah. I have too many ideas I want to cram into a deck.

No I do not. I remember a site abbreviated PTCO from back when I first started on the internet in 2003/2004.

It's a trading card game, not a board game. There's a difference. ;) Though they are both tabletop games.

Half decks are harder to build for me because I have to cut down even further for decks. :x

I am attending it, actually. I think I have to.

Been busy doing homework and stuff.

That's tomorrow night.

Well those and a job hunt.

Half decks aren't very popular in the US, but it's supposedly all the rage in Japan. The standard rule for the online version is 60. Most unofficial playing sites also adopt the same deck limits. Playing online is fun, but doesn't beat the experience of playing in person, in my opinion.

ex is no longer the strongest. ex cards got rotated out a while ago. It's a regular Pokemon. The new EX cards (yes, there's a difference) are on the way, though. And the fill ins for them between then were Lv.X and Pokemon Prime cards.

You can if you know how to set up a match online. You can also collect cards and battle people at the official online version of the game at www.pokemontcg.com.

Oh, I broke the rules - I was such a noob back then.

..........................

Yeah, pre-diploma exam stuff and thanks!

Well the strongest card I have is a Reshiram card. I think. Not sure. A lot of newer cards are much more powerful than the older ones.

Steelix cards suck because they need too many energy cards to attack.

No idea. Not very many Mew as they're always a rare. I have oceans of some Pikachu cards. I don't even have enough cards to even come close to having every card... there's over 4000 unique cards in the Pokemon TCG.

None that I'm willing to outright state.

I saw that... that takes effort. :V And reminds me of a game made since the old one in a game called PC Valentines.

I've always enjoyed all sorts of tabletop games. My collection was at 700 at about age 10. Now it's over 3000! And that's just in Pokemon!

WHAT IS IT?

Why isn't it fun for you? Have you gone into it with an open mind and with the nostalgia glasses off?

But if they do then hell could be raised.

Nasty it is.

Learn how to play the TCG. :P

Oh really?

I had straight vodka. Then washed it down with lemonade.

Well you're sure rifling through the sites fast.

Wait what.

Too expensive.

Sake was certainly bitter. Vodka was just plain nasty.
