MTG... doesn’t really. Outside of like alt art reprints and 1996 World Champion, which was a special case. The fetch lands and equivalent don’t count, considering they’re directly tailored to get whales to purchase them, based on their secondary market value,.

The card being expensive is entirely based on what they can get out of people. That’s a problem of how the entire secondary market runs, but they can do it, scummy as it is... And usage has never been a factor for collector’s items. Lots of cards aimed at collectors in YGO fucking suck. Sure, this isn’t an anime card, but it’s still a commemorative collector’s item.

The price is bull, but play value is not directly proportional to price. Not like you can play rare baseball cards.

My reference point was masterpieces which are a lot more common, something like 5x more, but have way higher actual play value. I get collector's value doesn't always come from actual play value, but I just can't wrap my mind around who would want this outside of uber collectors.

I wanted it so I bought it . Cool YGO piece 

no

Pokemon Gun

I thought it was a card game

They are that as well.

It took me a while to realize what the first was. Forgot that's the English name.

don't forget full metal panic and Stein's;Gate

Makes sense for the highest and most concentrated population in the country with a major international airport.

And I get to live there. I love my city but man is it weird to be in the center of this. 

living the dream

Sadly the dream does not include money. Though getting a job with Corvid in NYC is going to be fun.

I feel ya, had medical problems last month right as I was job hunting.

Looks like we got more results than I was expecting. Luxray was 21st overall and 3rd for the region. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2020-02-28/greninja-wins-pokemon-of-the-year-in-official-fan-vote/.156332

Arceus was in Sinnoh? I thought he was more recent.

Yea, God has been around since 06'

Whooaa, nice.

Now for a shiny living dex

I have no idea how someone could have the patience to make a shiny living dex. 

I used to say the same thing, until I started working full-time. Kinda hard to stay up late and be productive the following day.

lately me sleep has been 6 AM to 2 PM

Yea, when I was working I was going to bed at reasonable hours. Now I'm more or less on Cow's sleeping schedule.

It's been 2 months, though...?

Its been 2 month since release, but the data I was talking about was for December 31st, 2019. They've sold 16.06 million copies as of the end of last year.

So can you use Pokémon Home for free or will you have to pay for it? That's all I'm really curious about.

Free version of Home gives access to GTS and 30 Pokemon storage, full storage and full transfer is 16 a year or 3 a month, I believe.

Also Bank is free for the first month that Home comes out so people can get stuff from bank and put them in home

From what I read.

I'm comparing the price point from Bank which was $5. I was expecting it to be more, but I was hoping $10. And yes free version can store 30 Pokemon, trade 1 Pokemon over GTS at a time, and 3 wonder trades at a time. Premium is 6000 Pokemon, 3 GTS trades, 10 Wonder Trades, and an IV checker. One Premium account is needed for both phone and Switch. Bank will have a 1 month free special so people can move stuff without paying for both. 

I tagged you and asked if you still were interested in being a mod since I knew you mostly did it cause you felt you should. Since there wasn't a response after a few days the assumption was you weren't.

ill take his spot

The difference with third versions is you get an actual different version of the story, major story shifts, Pokemon species and distribution edits, sometimes rearranging gyms, and so on. You paid for a different experience than the original. And by your logic, Speed Deoxys was in Gen 3. USUM is the only majorly offensive one of the bunch, as it didn’t earn its price tag edit.

To most people, these aren’t one and done games then on to competitive. For a competitive player this is basically the same, if not better, but it’s not for someone who enjoys replaying the games. The price tag of $30 for 200 more Pokémon, with a large chunk of legendaries, and two new wild areas isn’t... worth it?

An area available from, basically, the start will either be under leveled, over leveled, or be weirdly middling. Which, in a game that already has issues with making you over level too easily, it won’t fit into the main game. If they do manage it, great, but there’s nothing to suggest they would.

Plus a huge part of adding Pokémon in is the ability to use them in-game for those types, which is something that you have to pay or pray for. I have issues with the way the wild area was handled in general, but that’s not the issue for now.

And the lack of the GTS is still an issue, especially with how finnicky the WiFi mechanics are. Some people, like Arlo, have even reported basically never being able to connect to anyone else over it.

Yes, the series has had poor practices in the past. That’s no excuse to continue supporting them when the initial product offered isn’t worth $60, much less an additional $30. Even if you got both Sun and Ultra Sun (which was also an issue people did not like), it cost $80. This costs $90 for less, overall.

I honestly couldn't remember if Gen 3 introduced version locked forms.  

I think it is much too early to try and talk about if the $30 price point is worth it. We have no idea how much content is actually in them. And I am very curious how the level balance is going to be handled since this is a post-game area and it is really easy to get your Pokemon to level 100 thanks to the overflowing EXP Candies. 

Your comment about using the Pokemon in game would hold even if the DLC was free since its Post-Game. If I wanted to use Rockruff on my team I just can't until its in the main game for a new game still. 

I am in full agreement removing the GTS is very dumb.

Eh. I differently got $60 worth from just the main game and I haven't even started breeding. I was just as upset as anyone with Dexit (I literally spent over 1000 hours making an in-depth living dex) but if you're just talking about number of Pokemon in the main game 400 is perfectly reasonable.

DLC isn’t postgame. I added that I was wrong about that later. It’s available at the start of the wild area, at least technically. How accessible it really is remains to be seen.

The main game was one of the worst in the series, as I saw it. Only Kalos and ORAS feel worse. Even without accounting for the cut pokemon, the game itself wasn’t worth $60 to me, if even $40, and it’s a fairly common opinion. I can’t justify an additional $30 on top of something I don’t think was worth its cost, so they would have to basically add another campaign for it to be worth it.

It reminds me of Fates, which is... scary.

i heard those kill fat kids in the states is this true

I've been eating Kinder Chocolate since I was a kid and I'm still here.

your teeth probably arent still there tho

Probably good idea, wasn't entirely made for singles, though glad there's options.

Welp, too late, already read recent chapter lol

No harm in reading it after the fact. Trust me, it will be VERY worth your time.
