I've played in some before, but they're pretty niche and usually are all about a special format, like the Malamar Games.
But USPA does it that way, too, soooo... I would imagine I can find other tournaments that function that way, too

I need to find more 'one round per week' tournaments. I have such a hard time setting aside multiple hours to play Pokรฉmon, but have a much easier time scheduling a match during any given week

Aha! You've found the key!

I'm very much not making it in time in my reread - I started Way of Kings again last month. Waaaaaayyyy too late lmao

Whoa we're reaching parity between the two.

That's actually wild considering Serebii here has less than 5% of the following over there.

Heck, I'd probably play the rat, myself, but the game doesn't want to give it to me

It's either Pikachu, Articuno, or Mewtwo. Every. Single. Time.

Hammer Rally in Brotherhood is exactly the kind of minigame I was hoping for, as a fan of the original games. I just wish there weren't semi-random performance problems??? Incredibly annoying to get to 95 and drop the chain because the game froze for a split second.

This nonsense should be illegal!

I've gone to playing VGC pretty casually for very similar reasons. Family is way more important, and things won't always be this busy!

i know a lot of people are like "live for spite!!!" and i 100% support that if that's what keeps you going but if it doesn't work for you you can live for a variety of reasons, including "read book that isn't out yet", "love", "step on a crunchy leaf", "look at the river", "pat a creature" etc

Why did they make the level up in Mario and Luigi Brothership sound like it's maxing out my speakers? Lmao
Also, more importantly, I really enjoy the game so far!

Absolutely! They both do similar, but different things.
I'm also enjoying how much Pocket feels almost like a throwback to the halcyon days of 1999 in terms of card strength and simplicity of strategy

Banger first post, tbh
Couldn't have said it better myself

I'm fairly impressed with how much Pokemon TCG Pocket has going for it. When it was first announced, I was just confused why it wasn't some sort of functionality being rolled into TCG Live, but the more I play, the more I like its unique identity compared to Live.

Okay, day 3 of the GC went really badly. I lost, like 9 matches, not quite in a row, but only won 3 in that time before deciding I was done for the day. Learned some stuff about the team, though, and had a lot of fun in general. I'm glad I played in it! Next time I'll make my own team.

21-7 in the GC after playing until I needed to sleep this evening! This is turning into my best run so far, I've only lost one more game than I lost in the first day so far! Thank you shorteggs and thank you Parker Simmons for your inspired team building! (Id tag him, but I don't think he's on here)

It's such a solid show! I'm loving it, too.

I do, too! It doesn't feel as terrible to play against as everyone says, and playing with it feels kinda awesome.

People like to use the word nerd for being a little bit into pop culture these days, it feels kinda weird, as another classical nerd lol
