A rarely mentioned topic on our site is the TCG-side of Pokémon, but I think it’s more than worth talking about occasionally. Pokémon recently announced details about the English release of the X&Y TCG expansion which will be coming on February 5, 2014. Fairy-type has been added to the cards, as well as a new Mega Pokémon mechanic.
Personally, I’ve always been more of a “collector” type when it comes to the Pokémon TCG. My three sisters never had any interest in battling when I was younger so even if I had made a competitive deck there wouldn’t have been any way for me to test it out. Luckily, children growing up in this online era have the Pokémon TCG Online game in case they have no interested siblings or nearby events. I don’t have much time for it, but I do really enjoy the TCGO game so if you haven’t checked it out I recommend that you do!
Looking forward to reading the comments about what you’re doing TCG-wise right now 🙂

Nm school just ended yayz
Yay
So i downloaded that instachecker thing that everyone going crazy about.
Mind you i had about 9 noibat eggs sitting around. turns out the SV of one of the eggs matched this kids TSV on the list, i got in contact with him, traded him and guess what, he HE HATCHED ME A FUCKING SHINY NOIBAT OMFG IM SHITTING MY PANTS IM CRYING HAPPY
lol caps, sorry xD

Thanks 😀
LMAO at someone down voting me cause i caved into it!!! Oh well. I actually consider PJ making a database for it or something to make everyone here get them easier. itll be nice to be able to breed eggs and trade/hatch shinies with everyone
Sorry that was an accident. I just changed it to up vote
Because shinies aren’t supposed to be rare or rewarding…
it was very rewarding to find that my SV matches his LOOOL
What is an SV
shiny value
How do you find out what yours is and how does that help exactly? I didn’t understand what you meant by someone hatched a shiny noibat for you because he had the same SV
it works like this::
it creates some kind of alternate fake connection that u connect to in ur 3DS settings
u access a trade with someone and select “start scanning” and every egg u “show” in trade it shows you its contents, ala ID, OT, etc. It shows a trainer shiny value, and an egg shiny value. if your egg shiny value number matches another trainers shiny value when u trade them ur egg it’ll guarantee hatch shiny for them
it probably doesnt make sense the way im explaining it but theres a youtube video on it
Ok thank you!
Sigh… Do what you want, i just think that SV thing is ridiculous
I just saw the ps. What if the next games are sequels instead of a middle. Or ruby sapphire remakes
sup everybody!
Sup
sup
Supi
Hey earthenwarrior. I hear you are the team leader in the fangame
As much as i want to be the leader, it’s not official
ShinyNoivern said i was “possibly” a Admin or the Leader
But if i were the Leader i would suggest that Team Eda is a radical group of Eco-terrorists who’ll use our Ground types to help “reform” this broken region
That’s a good idea. You should be the leader
Sup. Just watching Pokémon Origins episode 2.
it KEEPS FREEZING ON ME!!!
I just got up to the Cubone scene
I was just about to magically will myself into the anime to brutally assault Team Rocket for what they done!
Cubone sounds so sad when it is crying….
My heart weeps but my righteous fists burn with rage!
now im gonna have difficulty selecting which of these shinies are gonna help me begin my Y journey when i buy Y tomorrow
That’s a good idea. I came up for a team if I got x but a team of shinies that would be really cool!
My Y was meant to be only kalos Ground Types but i’ve used Diggersby in my main X
I have actually tried a one type team for soul silver once. Didn’t work out since it was grass and the first two gyms are flying and bug. And I tried a full psychic team and I think my starter (don’t remember) in platinum ad later found out mismagius is only ghost
Yeah some only few Mono-type Journeys work out
But i’ve managed to do
Kanto
Johto (had to substitute 2 kantos)
Hoenn (felt weird using Mudkip
Sinnoh (the best ground types
Unova (my first monotype journey
Nice! You must really like ground types
oh you have no idea
I like psychic and electric. I was so happy when delphox was confirmed as a psychic type
Psychic Pokemon i really never liked, i’m more of a Brawn over brain kinda guy and besides EVERYONE uses Psychic Pokemon
A wonder trade a day keeps the bad eggs away! Time to do mine.
u cant wondertrade eggs
but it’s great to give away newborns to trainers
i give away lost of lvl ones
An entire box of noibats. As well as a bunch of adamant rhyhorns.
I keep getting modest Swinubs and other crappy natures
I got two froakies with Pokerus.
well la dee da
Wait so you cant get bad eggs via wonder trade? 😀
nope
Then how does someone get one?
Best Bad friends
As far as my knowledge extends, the bad egg is simply a coding/programming error. I believe it may have been started by people trying to hack the game, and somehow upsetting the coding…but my knowledge on this stuff is minimal at best
You can get bad eggs via wonder trade, since the bad egg is a hacked pokemon
Does anyone have pokerus they would be willing to trade?
I have a spare pokerus pokemon. Just let me pop in my X version/get online.
Is froakie okay?
Yeah that’s fine thanks!
I’m online and waiting.
What is your in game name?
Elijah
Are we friends?
I don’t think so.
4511-1397-3608

Was there anything special about that gible?
What do you want?
what do you have?
What do you want? I have a lot.
Umm I don’t know
I have to go in a minute though
Hope rotom works for you. I was at a loss for which pokemon to choose.
Thank you!
It had rough skin and I believe it had pretty good ivs.
Did you add me? If not can you? 4725-8039-2003
I added you can you just add me
okay!
Thank you.
Wait did I put the right FC in. Is yours 3609-2282-7971?
Lavender Town theme is still creepy…
I dislike what they did with it in HG and SS.
I don’t remember who it was but someone posted the link espurr.net look at it
I liked what they did with it in the HG and SS
Hey guys my Younger brother just won a free copy of Super Mario 3D world at his school!
What? How? He is so lucky. Congratulations
Lucky!
Lucky…
Im my school they dont even know wats a 3ds….
@star_bits:disqus Thanks for the relicanth!
Thanks starbits for adding me. Is it true you have 30 shiny pokemn
36 now.
That’s awesome. I only have one a shiny shelgon
Nice! love shiny Salamance!
Thanks do you have one?
No I just remember a friend had one when 3rd gen was all the rage.
Nice I like ruby sapphire and emerald. They need remakes
Defiantly! I love everything about them.
No problem!
So everyone! Just curious…Pick your fav. Charizard X or Charizard Y? c:<
http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/323/8/0/the_ultimate_mega_showdown__charizards_by_seiryuuden-d6uu1fr.png
Megazord y by far
FTW solar beam is so op
Yeah do a double battle and have someone else with solar beam.
It’s also annoying because wth fire fang charizard x gets drought tough claws and stab
that sucks! D:<
and they could both be the same speed.. iiffff both people put the effort into getting speed raising IVs and such XD
Megazard x dont uses drought
No I mean if he is brought into battle after charizard y
I like mega charizard y. It would win with dragon pulse
Venusaur
*facepalm
Not really a choice in ziiachans question. And venusaurite would be destroyed
venasaur
best dragon
True
No Bidoof is.
Ok why does everybody like bidoof so much
Bibarel is water type so, Bibarel>Charizard
Mega charizard y used solar beam.
Bibarel fainted.
You defeated player pokemaniacmy
Would you like to do something else with passerby pokemaniacmy.
Presses no
I word: Moody
What?
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Moody_%28Ability%29
I like them both, but I feel y is more useful. x has a better design……… arrrrggghhhh
We all know y is the shet
Y, it just looks more natural to me
X its so overdesigned
Yeah, Game Freak love Charizard but i think they went overboard
I honestly loved X a lot cause its colors were so amazing to me but after failing to use him right, I think it sorta made me back away from him XD but imma try getting both!
