Is there some form of in-game messaging or private chat system that I'm not aware of? Cause if not there needs to be. :sigh: Sifting through endless people touting ridiculous trades in lobbies is just not going to work.

The UI in this game is hilarious sometimes. I think it took me 5 booster packs before I realized you could always zoom in on a card by right clicking and you can view all of a card's evolutions + variations by clicking on that 3 box icon.

Yeah, Mercury already told me so. (Via the in-game chat, no less!) That's still kind of a bad system. :sigh: I'd love to be able to make a Goons chat lobby in-game or something. Do/should we have an IRC for this maybe?

So I get 15 tokens daily (except every 5th day where you get a booster instead) and an additional 10/day for participating in a pvp match where as a new player without a deck full of legendaries I get my rear end handed to me on a platter in 2~3 turns. Great. I don't suppose there's a faster way to "save up for a theme deck" than to just log in every day and get clobbered for nearly the next two weeks? :sigh:

Quick tip: If you log in with your account on pokemon.com, you can play the flash games there to earn 15 extra trainer tokens a week. It's not much, but it's helpful for saving up for the expensive decks or when you need a quick token boost to buy a booster.

e: Wow, I just loaded up the game and the new deck builder format really sucks. It was a lot easier to see just how many cards were in my deck before. I guess it'll take some getting used to. Oh well, at least the new deck looks alright (even though I had traded a Plasma Blast pack for a pair of double colorless energies just the other day before this update :negative:)

I don't know if it's just me, but after adding all those new Rallying Cry decks, I noticed that the cards are tradable. Anybody else got that?

Obtuse.....even hokey.
Are players not keeping any pokemon on their bench a common occurence? I just haymakered the poo poo out of two players who I played online with a deck made from only the 4 basic decks because they only had one pokemon on the field. Granted, the first guy might have not had a second pokemon in his hand. He had some Eeevulition deck it looked like and I got really lucky by building up a Serperior by like turn 4. I know the second guy had a Basculin in his hand though, and Boufullant was able to finish off his Beartic when I hit the cointoss to wake up from sleep.

Yeah. It appears all the cards from the Rallying Cry decks are tradable.

Of course that also means the cards in it that might have been worth something are now practically worthless since everyone can redeem 4 copies of the deck.

So far this game has been doing a good job of scratching my Pokemon TCG itch. I haven't played the card game since the old days of the GBC game but I think I'm getting up to speed on the new cards and such.

I'm going with the screen name Plasbad64 if anyone wants to add me. :)

The only cards you can trade are the ones you get from redeemed Booster Pack/Deck codes. Not including Power Relay.

Just a cage of bones, there's nothing inside.
I don't see it in the new OP, but one of the changes to the client allows you to now use any redeemed deck against the Gold League. If you clear all 12 trainers, you get a booster. You can do this with Basic Orange, Power Relay, and Rallying Cry as well (so anybody just starting out has another way to earn between 2 and 3 free boosters currently)

Huh. It still won't let me use Basic Orange or Power Relay. Or Rallying Cry, for that matter. I wonder if it's just for brand new players or something on my end is broken.

You should have a search bar slide down when you click the friends icon. Input the username manually and hit enter. As far as I know, the thing doesn't actually "search" for anybody.

In addition to the BW Basic Blue/Green/Red decks, I currently have Blue Assault, Green Tornado and Red Frenzy available to play in Gold League, from decks I redeemed codes for back when this was still browser-based. I redeemed copies of Mind Wipe and Solar Strike via codes earlier today, and neither of those, nor Power Relay or Basic Orange are available. Also, the Blue Assault, Green Tornado and Red Frenzy are still listed as needing to be unlocked. :shrug:

When I logged in after it patched the Basic Orange and Power Relay (and my new Rallying Cry) decks suddenly became available for use in the Trainer Challenge and none of them are saying they need to be unlocked. I think you've hit a bug.

Raitzeno
Nov 24, 2007

What? It seemed like
a good idea at the time.

When I first logged in it had sort of instapatched (meaning, it hadn't actually patched, seeing as the interface was the same). After I relogged it actually sat there and downloaded a bunch of poo poo and then the entire interface changed. If the user interface looks like it used to, you need to exit and restart the program so it can patch properly, the new interface being completely different is a huge tell as to whether your client is actually as up-to-date as it's telling you it is.

Well then! I went back to Trainer Challenge because I want to try platinum league, and looked at my redeemed theme decks. The "unlocks" thing was replaced with "wins until booster pack". It looks like if oyu beat up twelve AIs with them you get a booster? I am okay with this.

Yeah, I don't think my copy patched properly and it's not doing the update thing whenever I restart the program. Gonna try uninstalling and then reinstalling the latest version.

Coins are chosen during the deck-building processes. As are card sleeves. On the one hand, having them linked per deck is kinda dumb, but on the other hand, if you happen to care about what coins and sleeves you use per deck it's kinda fun?

If you win 1 game each in Trainer Challenge with the Basic Blue/Red/Green theme decks, you get a Blue Energy Coin. (Mine was blue anyway, not sure if it's blue for everyone.)
