Simply put, all three protagonists magically met each other and took down a common enemy, lol. In ARC-V, however, we're actually seeing some real plot buildup to link all of the series together. As much as I want certain old characters to come back, there are no guarantees at the moment.
Ah, okay. You said that if there were no basic Pokémon in your opening hand, you'd keep having to redraw until you get one, right? Well, what if you finally got one, but the rest of your basic Pokémon ended up as prize cards? That'd be a stupidly awkward scenario, haha.
Not bad, but I'm struggling to keep my grades up, haha. Not only are my classes significantly harder this semester, but my epic return to PC is screwing me over LOL. (I literally had straight A's last semester, and that was before I came back to PC. But right now, though, ehhhh. xD)
