Just did a TCG battle using a non-theme deck today, and it was awesome. Not "I swept your team" awesome or "wow, I got schooled", but I definitely had the upper hand.

My deck basically consists of:
- Energy Evolution Eevee -> Team Plasma Jolteon (an EX killer) and Team Plasma Flareon (general revenge killer; does more damage for each Pokemon in the discard pile)
- Hoothoot -> Noctowl (with Powerful Vision and Fly; Fly requires a coin flip but is useful for finishing opponents off since it makes you immune to attacks after it hits)
- Pidgey -> Pidgeotto -> Pidgeot (insert Bird Jesus joke here, this Stage 2 Flashfire bird can hit hard)
- Ponyta -> Rapidash (low-energy striker; Agility attack in both forms does damage + coin flip for immunity to attacks)
- Litleo -> Pyroar (with Intimidating Mane ability; immune to damage from Basic Pokemon including most Pokemon-EX)
- Shinx -> Luxio -> Luxray (Luxio has Electricounter which does 40 damage for each Prize Card the opponent has taken; a great lion to set loose if you're losing the match)
- Reshiram (with Outrage, damage increases in direct proportion to how wounded Reshiram is)
- ~14 Fire+Lightning Energy, plus Energy Retrievals
- Superior Energy Retrieval, Ultra Balls, and Professor Sycamore (because discarding Pokemon cards from my hand = more power to Flareon)
- Protection Cube (for Luxray, whose best attack does 30 recoil damage)
Click to expand...

My opponent had a Fire+Water deck with at least:
- Flashfire Miltank (Powerful Friends does 90 damage for one Energy if there's a Stage 2 Pokemon on the bench)
- Oshawott family (for that Stage 2 Samurott)
- Reshiram (same as mine, even down to being full-art cards)
- Charizard EX (possible Mega)
- Blastoise EX (possible Mega)
- Aspertia City Gym (+20HP to all Colorless Pokemon, like his Miltank and my Noctowl + Pidgeot)

So I lead with Pidgey, he leads with Miltank and no Bench, but I'm able to get Pidgey evolved quickly (drew Pidgeotto on turn 2, already had Pidgeot in my hand) so the cow goes down faster than you can say Whitney. (Not really, but it did go down without being much threat). I do spot the Blastoise-EX on his Bench and the Oshawott (an Evosoda of his failed to evolve either).

By the time he sends Blastoise-EX in I'm up to Pidgeot and have more Pokemon on my Bench, including Noctowl and Jolteon. He could easily one-shot Pidgeot with Blastoise-EX's power attack but instead uses Rapid Spin (probably wary of my Jolteon). Soon I have Pyroar on the Bench, he's forced to use Oshawott (still unevolved) to stall while my team is, overall, in top form (with a Luxio waiting on my Bench).

He concedes the match at a score of 3-0 (out of 6) my favor; his only Pokemon in play at that point were Blastoise-EX and Charizard-EX, he doesn't have much chance getting a Samurott into play and my Jolteon was already having a blast nailing his Charizard completely unanswered (plus there's Pyroar to back him up).

not necessarily ot to current pokemon matters but playing through purity forest on pokemon mystery dungeon and it makes me furious that there is literally not another pokemon that gives you as much exp as skarmory

so like i'm getting my ass kicked over levels when i could have foreseen this half a dungeon ago

whatever over it

So if you were registered on Pokemon.com to receive marketing newsletters, the Trainer Club October newsletter includes a download code for the ORAS demo (I'm currently downloading it myself).

Reportedly, there will also be other ways to get the ORAS demo before launch.

I am playing the demo, and the big, bare chested, totally hot Team Aqua admin just said to another man, "I love funny, interesting dudes! That's why I love my bro, Archie!" Hmmm...

Edit: And now he said, "You, me, and our Pokemon are gonna have a real good time later!" I like where this demo is going!

Edit edit: And NOW he wants to 'rough me up real nice'! B-but it's my first time!

My Sceptile roughed his Sharpedo up so bad (even without going Mega) I could almost say that shark got raped...

...but this is FAF and it'd TOTALLY get taken the wrong way.


Next question: Since Steven gives you all three Hoenn starters and all three Mega Stones, do I hold out Mega Sceptile/Swampert for the full game or should I break them out now? I caught a few glimpses of MS in the end-of-demo trailer (kind of unavoidable, that), not quite enough to retain a mental picture of but still.

I'd say don't hols back. You'll want to repeat the demo to get some other items you can transfer to the full game. So you'll be seeing more glimpses of mega sceptile.

And I chose sceptile too.

Glalie only used Headbutt and Protect against my Sceptile. I thought that the demo was giving me a guaranteed win. Guess mine just liked me. XD

I wonder if they'll include random 'adventures' like in the demo. It'd be pretty cool to see that expanded into this huge thing with lots of different kinds of challenges.

I've completed the demo ten times, including the battle against Expert Theodore and his team of Hariyama + starter trio. It was a blast. Pretty sure his Sceptile actually KO'ed my Blaziken (true story; set battle style, Sceptile's faster and Aerial Ace), so I sent Sceptile in to clean up. Decided to go mega when taking down that Hariyama.

So Mega Blaziken's chest feathers form an X pattern.... and Mega Sceptile's chest ferns also form an X pattern ... that's two X's ... does this mean X2/Y2 CONFIRMED!?

From trios of games to quartets? Who the heck knows.

I just hatched my first legit 6IV shiny... It's a chingling. Mild nature. Probably not an ideal nature, but it's rather difficult to everstone a chingling when the parent chimecho needs to hold the pure incense just to get a chingling in the first place.

The X-shape forms four triangles.
Triangles have three sides.
4-3=1
Illuminati has one eye.

Nintendo is illuminati CONFIRMED!
