Pokemon post rotation format so far feels so bad ngl. Besides pult which is clearly bdif everything feels so samey, it's just decks that try to punch hard and fast which is honestly so dull. Doesn't help that there's no new good decks from POR and a lot of the decks I found fun like garde are gone
I would love to reread all of CSM at some point, I think becoming CSM being an unhealthy coping mechanism for Denji is a really interesting lens to view the story from. I also don't think part 3 is needed or will happen anymore, but who knows. Fujimoto could throw another curveball
Now that it's had some time to sink in I think the ending was really cool. The last 2 chapters recontextualise a lot of moments from across the whole story, I think this is why it felt off at first. It subverts expectations and changes the tone of CSM into a story with a different message.
CSM ending was nice but defo rushed. Wouldn't be surprised to see a part 3 come out or at least a small follow up, there's a lot of loose threads and mysteries to be explored
Won a Treasure Cup today with UP Sanji 🧑🍳🦸♂️
Won a second one lol. Ran it back with Shirahoshi, same list but -1 Hiyori -1 Surpass Me, +2 Ancient Weapon. 2 for 2 on Heroine Battles, wish I played more with how much these winner packs are going for haha
Won my local Heroine Battle with GY Shirahoshi! I wasn't super confident in the deck but I piloted it well tonight and had a blast. Mermaid and sea monster deck strong 🧜♀️🔛🔝
Haha fair it may have been safe to double ID but it depends on player count and how big top cut is. Who cares tho you got to play more games and won it all anyway 🔥
In TCG yeah. It's called IDing (intentionally drawing) it's a very common thing to do. I don't think it's allowed in VGC, not sure about the other games
I WON UNDEFEATED BABY
216 booster packs for @mrechoangel.bsky.social
And 10 extras for me 👍
Yooo good stuff bro that's amazing
I will say I'm happy for the homies that made day 2, very well deserved by them
It was better than Brum, but still whiffed day 2. Had a lot of good games but pretty annoyed with how I played rounds 2 & 3. Oh well, more to learn for next time
Forgot to post about Birmingham but it was a good weekend, despite a poor tournament from me. Here's hoping I can redeem myself at EUIC in a few days 🤞
Got a busy season of Pokemon gaming ahead 🔥
Won the Bath Cup on Saturday with Jelly Garde and passed my driving test this morning, first try with 3 minor faults! I'm very pleased with myself, November is off to an amazing start 🔥
Also would just like to say I finally caught up with One Piece after 3+ years (it's peak) and finished Silksong (it's peak) and now I don't know what to spend my free time on 😂
SUPER late post but I had a great time at Frankfurt. Narrowly missed day 2 but still finished top 500 with Garde, and got to meet @revengez.bsky.social for the first time! Next event on my calendar: Birmingham regionals 💪
