    New Discord Bot: Card Buddy! [x-post from /r/pkmntcg]

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 07:46 AM PST

    Hey fellow Pokemon Trainers!

    I've been heavily in love with the Pokemon Trading Card Game for years, but recently just started taking it seriously and playing it.

    I have joined many discords around PTCG and having to look up specific cards on Google to find a good quality picture to share with the folks during the discussion to be pretty annoying.

    To solve this problem, I've created Card Buddy!

    I'm hoping to expand and add more commands, but currently have the following:

    $set <setName | setCode>: Prints out information about the set you are asking about! $card <setCode | ptcgo_code> <cardname>: Displays a picture of the card in that set! (If you're doing GX or EX you need to do -EX or -GX after the name) $altArt <setCode | ptcgo_code> <RA | FA | SR> <cardname>: Displays the alt arts of the specific GX / EX card! (Remember you need to do -EX or -GX after the name) 

    Album with Screenshots

    Feel free to add it to your discord community! I would love to get feedback and more ideas to grow this bot into something more for this community!!

    It's powered via https://pokemontcg.io/ which is an open source Pokemon TCG API created by Andrew Backes.

    Psa: 3x Professor Research are in theme decks.

    A solid staple that only cost you 2 and a half packs. I highly recommend getting the fire deck since you get 2 bede with it.

    So many people forgetting about the turn 1 no supporter rule. They should alter the text to say "The first player cannot attack or use a supporter on their first turn"

    Giovanni's Exile

    Posted: 07 Feb 2020 06:26 AM PST

    Can anyone explain to me about this card? How would it be useful in a deck? It sounds to be like its only purpose is to clear room for a better pokemon. However, considering that you can be 1-2 shotted by most decent decks, this card is basically useless. Am I correct in this?

    Please be careful

    Just a quick reminder with the new cards to check and double check your trades. My daughter thought she was getting 15 packs for her zacian V and she actually got 1 pack and 14 energy :( Please remember to always check your trades

    When will Sword and Shield packs be available for purchase in the in-game store?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 04:42 PM PST

    The day has rolled over and it still hasn't shown up in the store? I'm relatively new so I've never experienced a new release before, so I don't know what time it will be or if you need to wait to buy them in-game or anything

    How do I get back into the game?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 10:21 PM PST

    I played the game a lot back in the late XY-era, 2015-2016. Loved it, and had a pretty killer deck too: Keldeo-EX/Blastoise. I dropped the game for reasons I don't really remember, but I've basically been off the TCG since then.

    I decided to come back to the game and... idk where to even start! All of my decks feel wholly unclassed now by GX Pokémon that can 1HKO most of my own Pokémon. Tag Teams are even worse!

    I looked at my standard legal cards and its... just a pack I bought with coins. I got a Flygon GX, but I don't have any other cards to work with it (or a Trapinch for that matter).

    How do I effectively get the cards necessary to not even be necessarily competitive, but just have any chance at all? So far I've only won a single match bc my opponent had a massive ego, so idk what to do!

    PTCGO Codes

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 09:10 PM PST

    If you open a pack irl, will the code card with it give you the same cards? I opened 13 packs pulled a torkoal v and some other holo rare, and I got them in game from the packs after opening a few. Is this true? Cause I also pulled a Koko v irl and I want it XD

    Recycle energy card interactions

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 06:34 PM PST

    Can anyone tell me how recycle energy works with Professors Research? If it is discarded with that, does it come back to your hand or is it only if recycle energy is discarded for retreat?

    Edit: Also, what about if it is discarded with Zebstrika's sprint ability?

    I couldn't find anything online so any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Stall decks are such a negative on this game

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 02:58 PM PST

    All I get matched with a stall decks now about 30% of the time, the games take forever and it's just not fun.

    Sandbox mode

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 12:40 PM PST

    Another idea is a Sandbox mode, a game mode where you don't get points for winning, but you can use any card you want in your deck, it would be great for trial and error.

    New first turn rule... WHY?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 12:10 PM PST

    They already fixed the first turn rule back in 2014. Before then, first turn donks were a thing, but they became (mostly) a thing of the past once they stopped first turn players from being able to attack. It was balanced because first turn players still had the advantages of being able to set up their board. But with supporters no longer being an option turn 1, first turn players have limited options to set up. Donks will return, but instead of first turn donks, it's going to be second turn donks.

    Why would they do this? Did they really think anything good was going to come of this?

    Unpopular opinion you should be allow to attack first turn

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 01:20 PM PST

    But add in a effect that your opponent cant take any form of damage. I think that is the best way to balance it. That way you can play a pokemon that summons pokemon to the bench so you don't get one turn donk or my favorite mimikyu that let's you discard a supporter and use its effect. This would add a diverse array of tech pokemon. Thar is unique to each attribute. The one problem with this is nitpick. He would just need to be banned.

    TCGO animations (low quality)

    Posted: 06 Feb 2020 08:16 AM PST

    I don't think I'm the only one to think this but I feel like whenever pokemon on TCGO use a GX attack, mega attack, V-max attack there should be a special cutscene for the specific attack.
    Like a Z-move For example, Pikachu and Zekrom Tag bolt: Zekrom could hold Pikachu in its arm, unleashing a war cry, summoning thunder. Or ReshiZard Double blaze: Flames falling down alongside Charizard and Reshiram ETC
    you get the idea
