you know what? I’m about to say it.

the #PokemonTCG needs more Exodia mechanics.

it’s quirky. it’s fun.
it’s not competitive, but it doesn’t have to be.

and that 1 in 100 games where it works?

getting new partner #Pokemon in the next #PokemonTCG set is fantastic news!

I just knew when everyone was saying there wouldn’t be more of them after Destined Rivals that it would’ve been a huge wasted opportunity.

TPCi has the chance to make some great decks happen. #PlayPokemon

normal Gengar on left, “shiny” Gengar on right.

I’m not taking crazy pills. the shiny is really boring and desaturated. it only gets interesting when it mega evolves and then you get that bright white Godlike thing.

cooked up some simple work lunches:

• chicken, broccolini, & carrot stir fry with homemade brown sauce

• shrimp fried rice (yes, yes it did)

finally watched the final matches of the #PokemonTCG Milwaukee Regional. mercifully saved from spoilers so I could relish in Gardevoir’s crushing defeat.

while I wish it had been Mega Absol, Jackson Ford won masterfully with Charizard. honestly surprised that more people aren’t talking about it.

victory over Mega Abomasnow in Sudden Death with my custom Tatsugiri deck 🍣🐉

plenty of room for improvement on the list (see alt text), but one thing is for sure:

megas quake in the face of insta-KOs 💀

hey TPCi - can you do us a favor & include the Psyduck/Golduck cards in the TCG in a way that doesn’t incentivize people scalping it?

like seriously, why on earth would you not just make this a regular card? making it a promo automatically makes it harder to acquire. #PokemonTCG

I’m not complaining, but someone did not understand the meaning of the word ‘or’ here when it was printed on the back of the booster pack sleeves.

I definitely got both #PTCGLive code cards AND basic energy cards. the plastic wrapping actually says ‘and’.

no megas, but one beautiful Shuckle 🍓

pretty sure regular or low-sodium soy sauces are ‘light’ soy sauces. dark soy sauce (like the one below, which I use) is thicker, sweeter, and less salty.

okay, I put way too much effort into this 😂

During Sunday’s #PokemonTCG Regional Championship in Pittsburgh, Abaan Ahmed lost to Liam Halliburton in the finals because Abaan accidentally threw 1 of his cards across the table in a prior match, leading to him playing Liam with a 59-card deck.
