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 🙂
<3 pokejungle
ps- After I wake up (almost 11PM in Tokyo right now… I’m sick and tired) I plan to post an article about… POKEMON Z. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
FEATURED THREAD: The Pokejungle Fan Game by ShinyNoivern
My cousin is gonna come live with me….
He destroyed my gameboy color as a child, for the love of kesus why
Half of my cousins are jocks and honors students
and they barely play video games!
My cousin, idk, hes pretty dumb….
although I do get to go to national Hockey Games because of my cousin
i dont like hockey…
Well it’s the Higgins family sport…
My state has a hockey team. We didn’t even realize it lol. It was kinda unexpected because it’s Mississippi.
banhammer him from your room!D:<
Ill need to get used to it
Wanna borrow mine?
I built a giant wooden hammer out of a log!
Oh BTW Timo, i went to that judge and he said that one of the Gliagrs had superior stats and its best was its speed will that’a’do?
Gliagars, i like that name
School sucks I have so much homework… I’m not gonna be able to play pokemon today, but I hope to start competitive battling this weekend!
So Timo you ready to trade?

And the chat is dead again
yup D:
More time to watch cartoons…
I’m ready to trade.
Are you online?
Yes.
Thanks
Welcome. I don’t think that one had speed IVs maxed, but it had max defenses and HP.
Good enough
Dorm life makes me hate football games even more than I did originally. So much unneeded language and too many stupid and incorrect use of words for insults over a freakin ball.
OK Guys I’m back again, let the chat be ALIIIVE!
Treena or Trina for a female tree’s nickname?
Trina seems a bit more original and less punny IMO
I also thought about Katreena
Or Treesha
LaTreesha
Lol, Btw this gave me a thought that all the restaurants in Lumiose are based of the “Le Me” meme
I’ve noticed the similarity. And LaTreesha it is! Thanks!
And “Le Wow” could be a combo of Le and Doge
Ugh… Doge. I don’t understand what’s so funny about it. It’s an adorable dog, but still..
Arcanine looks just like it lol
Meh. I do like Arcanine though
“wow” “such flame”
Such Legendary, Too Majest
6 days left ’till the article submission deadline. Anyone else still planing to submit something?
What’s that?
For PJN magazine.
Oh, Lol I’m not very interesting and this is my first game I’ve battled competitively
I would but I’m lazy and don’t know what I would write about. Writing is the thing I like most about school. I can take anything and turn it into a report. Like PB&J sandwiches!
I will try best to submit something!
The Chat Is Aliive! God thanks Kesus!
KESUS HAS MADE IT
oh i have that Gligar
Lol, I’ll trade in an hour
Even though I don’t play the TCG I must admit that alot of the art on the cards are amazing!
I love the TCG 🙂
Is that you WPM?
Nevermind
No.
I have too much leveling up to do…
I leave for 10 minutes and everyone’s dead again :/
Ugh, Do I have to buy some Revives and Hyper potions for you guys?
Seeing my cousin’s Pokemon Cards was one of the things that made me interested in Pokemon so for that I am grateful for these glorious pieces of cardboard!
Why is there Japanese text on Blastoise’s card?
What do you mean?
Has anyone here used Mega Manectric? Is it any good?
It is
What moves would you recommend?
Tbolt
Fthrower
???
???
What about volt switch and overheat? To attack, get the sp. Attack drop and switch out with volt switch?
T bolt
Overheat
Snarl
Volt switch
i was surprised that they gave Manetric a Mega evolution…
Lol, Houndoom was VERY surprising, I didn’t even know it had a Mega until I got its stone
Although i do kinda see Gamefreak’s Fire and Electricity stanards
but why no Mega Machamp
Same here lol, but the boost is welcome
It has 135 Sp.Atk and 100+ speed, I’m expecting it to be a good sweeper
Apparently it is, but I wouldn’t know a good moveset for one
not against me is won’t be, although the intimidate could set me back a peg
Yeah, it kinda gets walled by ground types. I might look for another mega
Ice Fang; not very good with attack, but whatev. Still want that Shroom?
Have any’all seen this hilarious piece http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi9qKp7gJFU
XD just did
hotdiggedydemon posted something?
Does anyone want a Adamant Beldum
Shiny Dedenne hunt, day 2 ;-;
sigh…. guys im trying to get an apartment, im not so sure how much longer i’ll have Wi-Fi internet. my room mate who pays no bills is really trying to start stuff. if im gone, you know why!
that sucks :c .. i wish you luck!
good luck, hope you work things out well
My only exposure to the TCG was the cards my two cousins had. They gave some to me and my brothers since we got into pokemon, sadly we had no use for them since we didn’t really get into the TCG as well as we did with the games, they looked neat though. I don’t really plan to play the TCG anytime soon, but I do like the artwork used for the cards themselves.
I loved collecting them but I think when I was actually playing I didn’t do it right xD.There are times I miss having the cards and thought of collecting them again but for now I may just stick with the video games 🙂
