Chit-Chat: General Pokémon Trading Card Game Daily Chit-Chat

If it's anything like Magic, the bad prereleases tend to even out with the good ones over tome and with more experience in the limited formats. Granted it's easier to have success in Magic because you can actually do something with most of the commons unlike in Pokemon.

Can we talk here about the onlline game?

I'm playing it but I have troubles now login in.

Only the loading screen appears.



Is this happening to anyone else?

You most certainly can, be it making your own thread for your question, posting a question in the Quick Questions Thread, or posting your question here (though this thread is more of a Pokemon TCG general chat thread).

Try uninstalling the client and then redownloading the new installer from the website. Had that issue after an update for the client hit my system. Sometimes the auto-update gets a bit wonky like that.

I was in the pokemon site, they said they are in a maintance so that's why I can't access there.

And sorry to put this question on thread, will not happening again.

And thanks by the way for answering.

Well, I guess you'll just have to wait out their maintenance period.

Yeah tomorrow it will be open again.

Anyway, bringing this thread back to life, what does everyone think of the new holo pattern on the holos for XY? I'm iffy on them, but it is something new to Pokemon. It reminds of the foil pattern on the "Super Rare" cards from Yu-Gi-Oh!'s early days. Not much character to it at all, in my opinion.

I didn't notice that it changed. I do find the newer cards start to curl alot faster than the older sets. Though it might just be me.

What older cards are you comparing the newer cards to?

Idk stuff around DRX or something.

Honestly, I haven't noticed it. Other than on the checklane cards that have to be curled a little bit to even get them out of the packaging. Honestly, I think they've been packing those too tightly lately.

Na i dont think thats it. Though maybe the weather is just more humid now in hawaii. So that could be it.

That could be the case, but I don't know your typical humidity out there. It's very arid here this time of year, and that may be why I'm not noticing any curling.

Moving onto another topic: if I were to start a free-play league for the TCGO based out of this section, would anyone actually play matches for it? Just wondering. Last time I tried, our most viable method was Skype since no one knew how to use Redshark.

I would be all for that. Only if we do fun tournaments like No Exs as well as other stuff.

Though i hate the new format of the program. Its so stupid.

What's up with the new format of it? I don't really use it all that much.

Never heard of Redshark but I'd love to take part in online tournaments. Ideally using real cards over Skype or something would be a lot of fun, but I can imagine a lot of people wouldn't want to do that so using the TCGO software sounds good too! Maybe we can get a small tournament going if enough people are interested.

Redshark was the previous project that the devs of PlayTCG.me had worked on. They discontinued it around 2 years ago.

I still need to write up the rules and limitations for that tournament I've been meaning to start that uses just the decks you start out with!

Uh, maybe??? I have no competitive TCG skills and knowledge but it would be a good way to learn. Only problem is that I have no idea how it works. It's been over a year since I last touched TCGO and I never really used it in the first place. My default deck is covered in digital web and dust lol.

It's a decent way to learn. The TCGO handles a lot of the in-match calculations. The deckbuilder is a bit of a pain to use at times, though.
