I also spent some time this weekend developing* a challenge mode for the Game Boy Color version of the #PokemonTCG, where you are given a random deck from the Deck Machines and have to beat everyone. I've playtested it a few times and it feels super fun. So that's probably what I'm playing next on stream.

*Coming up with the rules and a spreadsheet to track data on stream. I don't know how to create code.

It's kind of amusing that of all the cards I needed to finally complete the base set, it was this Revive trainer card. I remember owning it years ago and giving it to a friend, thinking I had several.

Thankfully, I finished the base set a few years ago before the price of cards went out of control.

Bought some more Pokémon cards yesterday! I genuinely thought I didn't have the Entei (Black Star Promo, 34) but it seems I did. Now I have two...

I also picked up Scizor (Neo Discovery, 29/75) and Computer Error (Black Star Promo, 16)

Os dejo por aquí el deck que he toqueteado de Charizard EX / Arceus, con un Victini EX añadido, que me está funcionando bastante bien :magic_tcg:

Os dejo el enlace por si queréis copiarlo y pasarlo directamente a Pokémon TCG Live: https://pokemoncard.io/deck/charizard-ex-arceus-57979

La finalidad del mazo es sacar Charizard EX siempre, de ahí que tengamos el Arceus V Star, que con su habilidad de V Star podemos buscar dos cartas en la baraja, así como la habilidad de Pidgeot EX Quick Search, que cada turno nos permite buscar una carta del mazo, por lo que podemos traernos todo. El Mew nos permite coger items cada turno, por ejemplo, un Rare Candy para evolucionar de un Charmander a nuestro preciado Charizard EX. El Victini EX está porque nos permite por pocas energías meter 220 de ataque, y si muere y perdemos dos cartas de premio, nos viene hasta bien por el ataque del Charizard EX, que añade 30 de daño por cada Prize card que haya cogido el enemigo, por lo que si nos mata a Victini después de este haber hecho 220 de daño, Charizard EX podría hacer 240. El Radiant Charizard está porque mete 250 (una maldita burrada para ser una carta normal básica), y si la sacamos en mid/late game, cuesta muy pocas energías.

He resumido un poco bastante lo que hace el mazo, y todavía estoy trasteando con él para mejorarlo, pero bueno, os podéis hacer una idea. Es uno de los mazo más "famosos" y jugados en PTCGL ahora mismo, simplemente he hecho un par de cambios que se adaptaban mejor a mi gameplay.

Are there Pokémon TCG fans out there that still attempt to complete their Wizards of the Coast sets? During 2019 before the prices went out of control, I managed to finish off my Fossil, Base and Jungle sets with relative ease. Then in 2022 I managed to complete the Team Rocket set after buying the remaining holo cards at a reasonable price.

But for the Neo sets (Genesis, Discovery, Revelation and Destiny) it has been incredibly difficult. I understand the cards are less common due to the popularity of the series falling off at that point, however i can't help but feel I'll never finish them, and that's kinda sad.

What are your experiences?

Last year, a friend gave me this awesome Lugia card from the Japanese Neo Genesis set while we were having a drink at a local coffee shop. It was a card I always remember wanting when I first saw it online in the early 2000s, hoping that someday i'd finally own it, but I never pulled my own card from any booster packs.

Originally I declined it, telling him it was far too generous, but after about twenty minutes, and knowing that I may never see one again, I asked him if he was sure about giving it to me. He handed it over, and the rest is history. It was a generous gift!

This base set Blastoise card is very special to me, not just because it's a shadowless, something I realised many years after obtaining it, but because of the person who gave it to me.

An online friend of mine called Jesse would trade, gift or sell Pokémon related items with me in the mail, and this was one of the trading cards he sent to me.

I learned that Jesse passed away a few years ago, which was devastating for me at the time. Sometimes I flip through my folder and see this card, and I am reminded of the friendship we had back then.

I wrote a bit more about this, and some of my other Pokémon related items in this post:

How to sort a collection where items don't have inherit order (but still kinda do)?

I've been exploring that this week as I've worked out how to sort a #PokemonTCG deck for my upcoming deck builder app.

While there's no inherit order, there's some precedence and expectations from what has been done before.

I've also updated the Pokemon TCG card viewer Firefox add-on to support Scarlet & Violet cards + fixed it to work in Youtube again!

Install 1.4.0 from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pokemon-tcg-card-viewer/ to your Firefox!

So, Pokemon has this older online client called Pokemon TCG Online. Now they've been building a new one called Pokemon TCG Live.

Online provides an export function for decks and Live provides an import function.

They are not compatible.

So I built a converter. Get your old decks to the new system and keep on playing!

(It may still have some bugs, let me know if you find cards that don't import correctly)

When the cards I ordered arrived in a soggy-but-dried-and-ripped envelope like this, I was ready for the worst.

Miraculously, all the cards survived the trip and are in sweet good condition 😍

Our power was out this past weekend, just like the weekend before (and we're getting ANOTHER winter storm this weekend), so I spent my weekend daylight hours painting #pokemon cards again.

#PokemonTCG #pikachu #clefairy

Two pokemon cards with the non-art sections painted with acrylic paint. On the left is a clefairy in the night joyfully reaching out for some pale green floofy flowers. In the foreground are pink flowers in blue-tinted grass. On the right is a pikachu bounding and in midair, charged with electricity. The whole area is cracked rocky ground with a bit of grass peeking out of crevices.

While the power was out and it was daylight I did some #pokemon tcg alters.
I haven't done them in so long, feeling quite rusty.

#PokemonDay #PokemonTCG #CardAlters #CreativeToots

Six pokemon cards, four of which have been overpainted. Two Petilil cards on the left, one which is left untouched, and another where the card's art has been extended into a forest spotted with small mushrooms. An extended card of Litten is at the top, it sitting amongst a large field of greens, licking itself. A morelull lights the way near a rocky shore. Two skiddo cards are on the right, the bottom one with extended art to show a cloudy sky and a pile of wood and greens that the pokemon is standing on.

Just come over from mastodon.lol so time for an #introduction post!

Hi! I'm a big fan of #GuildWars2, farming sims, old school RPGs (currently running through Baldur's Gate for the 1000th time), #NoMansSky, #Pokemon, and a 100 others.

May also yell about social issues, TV, film, and other things that pop into my head.

Most recent adventures include discovering I can scan #PokemonTCG code cards on my laptop and screaming myself hoarse over the #FantasyLife sequel finally being announced.

In today's blog post, I introduce my newest #PokemonTCG Firefox extension and show how it's built.

It was the first time I was working with Sidebar and Context Menu UIs in Firefox extensions and I'm very happy how it turned out.

1.2.0 of Pokemon TCG Card Viewer Firefox extension is now available.

It enables #PokemonTCG players to see the card images when hovering over or keyboard focusing on PTCGO codes (like "BRS 120").

It adds support for the newest Silver Tempest set.

Install it to try out:

Non-academic #introduction I think I'll mostly use Mastodon for computer science communication, but I might sometimes talk about other stuff; Before #Canberra I've lived in #Wellington #Aarhus #Cambridge (England) #Paraparaumu #PukeruaBay #Jakarta . I'm a father and #labradoodle owner and enjoy #boardgames #cardgames #PokemonTCG #PTCGO , and am interested in international politics, particularly #GreenPolitics . #ProofOfDog
