Spin him round in the 3d Pokédex thing, it's right there.

I have a question for those of you who play the Pokemon Trading Card game; if you had to go with a pre-made deck (like, one straight out of the box, nothing changed) that was themed around the Dark type, which would you pick? [sp]It doesn't have to be a newer deck, just out of the many decks out there[/sp]

[Jechtmania]

If you don't mind being completely vulnerable to Fighting Type cards then [url=http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Voltage_Vortex_%28TCG%29]Voltage Vortex[/url] is a good deck.

I haven't really had any experience using Dark Types because I've never had Dark Energy cards to even use them in battles.

Maybe I'll get a dark themed deck someday.

That's a pretty loaded statement since you're basing it all on personal experience. It's just the same as any other retail store, really.

[Dragoshi]

I got my Keldeo yesterday, still need to pay off Black 2.

[QUOTE=usaokay;37465102]usaokay goes to Gamestop:

I whip out my Zelda 3DS with Pokemon Black in the cartridge.
Me: Fuck, I forgot how to do this.
Staff: Oh cool, you're doing the Pokemon Black & White thing.
Me: Yep. Oh, yeah, I'm wondering how I could get the pokemon.
Staff: Sure, here you go.
Staff hands me a paper detailing what I should do.
Me: Cool, thanks.
Staff: Do you want to preorder Black & White 2?
Me: Uhh, no thanks.
Second Staff: Hey, do you want a pony poster?
For a split second, I thought he meant MLP
Me: What?
Second Staff: Pokemon pony.
Me: Oh, yeah.

Useless story, but I got that pokemon and a poster. Gamestop is full of nice people and they got robbed when GTA4 came out.[/QUOTE]

I went to GameStop to preorder Black 2 and I got a pony poster too.

I didn't get Keldeo, though. I don't really like events because you can't name them.

[Candy Bee]

Is the Keldeo event still going?

[Jurikuer]

[QUOTE=biodude94566;37471847]Is the Keldeo event still going?[/QUOTE]

Started 3 days ago. Goes on for a month I think.

I got Keldeo and pre-ordered White 2 (have Black 1).

[Jechtmania]

Got a Samurott collector tin, cool little figure and all.

Five booster packs.

One of them had the bottom half of the Palkia & Dialga LEGEND set.

YES[/QUOTE]

You lucky people. I opened three more Dragons Exalted packs today. Still no EXs. At least two out of the three had holos. (Wailord and Ampharos).

I feel like trying to make a deck that focuses on Ampharos now.

[Jechtmania]

If you want luck get a collector tin.

I got a Reshiram EX tin and obtained a Zekrom EX card from one of the boosters, currently the powerhouse of my modified Furious Knights deck.

[Tuskin]

I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

I dunno, that randomizer's got some strange fetishes.

[Shane Alvarado]

Anyone gonna do Autumn Friendly?

[GastricTank]

Went to Gamestop, my friend was working at the counter. I asked him what day the new Pokemon game came out, and he asked me if I already prordered it. He then told me about the Keldeo promotion, which to I replied:

Ew, no. I don't want legendaries, 'specially that sissy horse. If I wanted a Water Fighting type, I'd use Poliwrath.

To which he replied with wide eyes: That's the best response I've heard from anybody about this promotion ever. He then high fived me, then offered me the Keldeo poster.

We both looked at it and laughed.

Aside from looks Keldeo is just flat better than Poliwrath, no contest.

[AzureAngelic]

oh hey this randomizer is pretty neat

well on the bright side i didn't take lapras as a starter! also machamp is a ghost type with softboiled but his catch rate is too high to get with shitty normal pokeballs :(

hoping for something i can actually catch in viridian forest

[editline]31st August 2012[/editline]

[img]http://i.imgur.com/8eU0J.png[/img]

if only this thing edited catch rates, it would be [B]perfect[/B].

[Tuskin]

I uaed the randomizer with all settings enabled, my starters were Ghastly, Articuno and Aerodactyl

I chose Articuno, all I knew was Ice Beam, Aerodactyl kicked my ass.

Also,

[img]http://i.imgur.com/VM1aH.png[/img]

That Golbat Sprite

[editline]31st August 2012[/editline]

I didn't like starting with Articuno so I randomized it again and got an Arbok, I also caught the first 5 different pokemon I saw

[QUOTE=Shibbey;37485274]Aside from looks Keldeo is just flat better than Poliwrath, no contest.[/QUOTE]

If people use Pokemon who have better base stats over Pokemon they actually like, then they have a few things to consider.

Of course, if it's both things that make a Pokemon appealing to them, best of both worlds I suppose. Use em'.

But I'd use Poliwrath over Keldeo regardless of base stats. I'd rather lose with a kicking rad Poliwrath on my team than win with a low-risk high-reward legendary on my team any day. But that's just me.

Where do you get a color ROM/Emulator? I'm using VBA and a random Red ROM I found, and it's black and white. :(

[salty peanut]

-nevermind-

[Tuskin]

I'm using Visual Boy Advance, and I can't link to the rom, that would be wearz.

go to Options > Gameboy > and Select SGB while running the rom, then close the emulator then run it again. Reloading the rom won't work, you actually need to restart the emulator.

If you want the Super Gameboy Border select SGB, then at the top of the Gameboy menu select Automatic Border

Play through the game with only a Charizard. It is your destiny.
