Lama Palooza

@salomesdish @YoyohDa @DCTILMON @Scarapuce @im_a_blisy You a self proclaimed fan of Nintendo and the pokemon company but it took you 7 months to finally get it but you got a stable job? 😭😭😭 either you not really a dedicated fan or just a bot

@mevin2cool @YoyohDa @DCTILMON @Scarapuce @im_a_blisy I’m gainfully employed; I’ve been playing Champions using the Swifch 2 my gf gave me for Christmas on my lunch with my coworkers and having a blast! I’m going to GameStop after work to buy my copy so I can ladder with Floette all weekend. Thanks for the great products Nintendo!

Why is it good for the competitive scene that you have to buy Z-A to get these Pokemon. Please explain.

@salomesdish @YoyohDa @DCTILMON @Scarapuce @im_a_blisy U talking about pricing ppl out but you yourself can’t afford the game? 😭😭😭 do you even have a switch 2? Maybe you should put more time into looking for a job instead of being a meat muncher

@YoyohDa @DCTILMON @Scarapuce @im_a_blisy Actually the real value of resources is the ability to leverage them to your benefit? Im very excited to buy ZA and send a direct signal to Nintendo to continue the good work and price out whiners like you. Sowell is correct, friction is valuable!

@_TD_Truth @SDS_Des @Iyokuu I feel like people are intentionally ignoring the signs because when you eventually clear out the battle pass rewards which is pretty easy to do you will not be gaining a lot of bp until the next season when they give out another drops of mons which will make it harder etc etc

@SDS_Des @mevin2cool @Iyokuu i think its a principles thing. Its not hard to see how locking 4 megas behind having AZ and pokemon home can be viewed as a bit scummy. Its not an invalid pov when you look at Champions as a game within itself. but if you look at it as a tool for the main games, it makes sense

League of Legends does exactly this. Overwatch did it at one point. Valorant does it. Every gacha game does it. Pkmn Unite does it. Any fighting game with DLC does it. Y’all are literally complaining about being broke or choosing to make adult decisions with your own money.

@SDS_Des @_TD_Truth @Iyokuu I have a switch 2 along with every mainline game and home I don’t have to do any of that. Plenty of people have been saying what I have been saying aswell so don’t go make shit up? What would be the point of me talking about this if I never booted the game? 😭😭😭

@mevin2cool @_TD_Truth @Iyokuu you say its an unreasonable grind aka you haven't played while plenty of other people are saying other wise, and proving otherwise, buy you guys just dont care because you only care about pushing ur agenda its getting old.

@Iyokuu @Joesby07 It is paywalling because you do not have an actual reasonable way of getting specific mons without using outside sources (other games). It has always been this way even before this but it is disappointing that it’s continuing.

@Joesby07 All successful competitive games have done this long before Champions. Using the term paywalling here is just bad faith because Champions is not like these other games at all. x.com/Iyokuu/status/…

This is one of the things I was worried about. Not the “pay walling” but people fear mongering the incoming F2P audience over incredibly basic knowledge. You need the Pokemon games to get Pokemon: shocker. Champions was not giving anyone FREE access to 1000+ Pokemon at will.

@SDS_Des @_TD_Truth @Iyokuu So you would only see 100 mons out of 173 and it’s complete rng on what ones you do see? That’s not even a realistic way of getting specific teams you are forced to run what you see compared to the more optimized teams. It will get more worse over time as the casuals drop off

@mevin2cool @_TD_Truth @Iyokuu i just dont think this is really true tho, I had like 300 quick tickets which means i could refresh 10 times, you get 10 at once theres like 190 in the game, pretty solid shot of you being able to pickup 6 mons pretty quickly. unreasonable is exaggerating.

@SDS_Des @_TD_Truth @Iyokuu It requires an unreasonable amount of time to grind out teams that you would want to make because it’s random. Having access to a mainline game will put you at a crazy amount of advantage compared to just using champions

@_TD_Truth @Iyokuu so what iyo is comparing it 2 kind of makes sense because you play and grind to unlock things via in game, or you simply buy it but the original poster trying to say you need to buy another game just to play champions just isnt true.

@AzulBlitz @fritterbaker @JamboTCG Because it’s a gross extreme outlier that has not happened in a majority of matches to any person

@fritterbaker @JamboTCG The same way you could get over this? I express my opinion on something and you tried to take it out of left field.

First they came after hand shuffling, now it's telling your opponent you passed turn with a fucking hand gesture!

@kyotcg @BantisGeorgios @DragoATX Please I don’t need to😭😭😭

@BantisGeorgios @DragoATX 1c stage, play it like a mirror match. Waste a 4c to bounce a 1c I dare ya 🤣

Lucy feels like a fake deck ngl clap the random bad decks, lose to Penel/Green/op15 Luffy/Imu etc

@rasenburst @im_a_blisy Bro you just dickriding a problem that they made themselves. It’s not like they gave out 3-5 boxes for free it’s just one and it’s extremely fast to fill up. So what if I get 30 in home and 30 in champs I have to either pay or take extra time transferring to games then back…

@Dewott1 @im_a_blisy Extra storage, not your main storage system. Your main storage is on the main games where you have plenty of boxes to hold your mons. Based on everything you’ve said, there isn’t a single reason why you would pay for anything related to Champions. So you’re good to go.

A yearly subscription to this + home + Nintendo online + the starter pack is annoying. I don’t think it’s weird to pretend it’s not. Also I still dont like the starter pack coming with a bunch of recruit tokens or whatever so we can reroll shit. Feels explicitly pay to win no?

@atrocityTCG Weird thing to ask and just comes off as you just looking for ppl to be upset at him opening

I wonder how Asians feel about asian grandmasters being pulled in the west, out of the 100 available for each Not that I personally have any opinion on it, just curious

@realcouragethaD @rjtriedtotweet Y’all just find excuses to be a shitty bot😭😭😭

@rjtriedtotweet In other words don’t chimp out because you don’t understand the culture

Just a headsup. If you're an american coming to the Philippines, we have a lot of stuff that has "NEGROS". Don't be offended if you hear it (unless directed towards you) We have places called Negros, we have kids with nicknames as negro, heck if you're a TCG player we even have an LGS called Wizard of Negros.

@ZephyrionVortex @charlie_undead @BeastOfTruth A 5080 alone is $1200 let alone with the increase of ram prices this is easily 2k plus

@charlie_undead @BeastOfTruth everything is speculation, but based on the leaks, Helix is rumored to be RTX 5080 level.

The PS5 Pro is over $800 after tax without a disc drive my brother I'm DEFINITELY willing to spend $200 more for an Xbox that can play over 100,000 PC games not on console 😂

@yxllosky @CardGameNomad @Negativ3king Whatnot

@CardGameNomad @Negativ3king what site is this

Imagine paying $290 and being stopped after hitting a $1 Yanmega 😂 The dopamine addiction is real 🙄

@Kn1ghtime @AaronSchiro @slabfactory_ty That’s what happened idky why people yall trying to Superman for the asshole vendor. Obviously he can sell for whatever but when people rightfully call it out don’t be surprised

@mevin2cool @AaronSchiro @slabfactory_ty Maybe he did over pay... so what? You can't make him sell at a specific price. Just move on.

If posting this has taught me anything, it’s that the hobby is far more split on “comps” than I realized. Don’t wanna use them? That’s fine. You won’t move product with any pace at all. Your call.

@baseball_cards If u want to make up an added tax for your products that’s w/e but dude was right for calling you out. Why the hell are you selling your favorite card?😭😭😭 bot ass responses

I think it’s important to note that the video cuts off when the dealer offers the same process. Let’s see yours. We will comp them and then I’ll offer you less. As someone that sells at shows often, I can tell you some walkers are surprising. They honestly act offended when you won’t sell your possessions to them for the prices they want to pay. I had a guy arguing with me that my Jean Beliveau autograph PSA 10/10 was overpriced. I explained to him that it’s my favorite card and if he wants it, he will have to pay the “my favorite card” price. I was called shady, a loser, and had him standing by my table telling anyone that would listen that my cards were overpriced. Comps are good for making deals with people. They aren’t required for sellers to follow. I think the seller may have handled it differently, but do understand his frustration.

@Kn1ghtime @AaronSchiro @slabfactory_ty Who gives a fuck you can’t win every transaction. It just sounds like he over paid on a lot of cards and instead of taking the L he’s doubling down.

@AaronSchiro @slabfactory_ty No... telling him about $380 comp when he paid $425 for it is what "not giving a shit" looks like. You're right though... it is fun to lose money....

@d_i_o_l @Kenzztz @Alhaji_dubaa Korra was dealing with deep depression that entire season and aang entering avatar state outside from guru was always during times he was stressed out. It wasn’t an escape wtf are you talking about. Even when he learned how to do it from the guru put him in a vulnerable position

@mevin2cool @Kenzztz @Alhaji_dubaa Aang in the avatar state wasn’t just uncontrolled power, it’s just an escape for him from his pacifism. A clearheaded person is supposed to be much more dangerous than one who isn’t. Remember Korra’s fight with Kuvira?

This is Tenzin’s 4 year old facing chi blockers for the first time ever in his life,he didn’t even know such thing existed until they attacked the temple. The excuses for Korra is becoming boring now.

@shadow_mighty_ @I_Am_Chizarham @doctorwalesmd His father smoked prime Toph and forced Aang to go into the avatar state to escape death. Amon is literally the strongest blood bender in the entire series. It’s mad abundantly clear

@I_Am_Chizarham @doctorwalesmd Saying u can't use seismic Sense on Amon because his a blood bender prove nothing.Toph the greatest earthbender in the entire show couldn't use seismic Sense on only one person (Aang) because he was light on his feet,as long as u are not light on your feet seismic sense will work

Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate. The excuse that Korra faced “stronger enemies” does not justify her grandiose failures as the Avatar. And before anyone tries to pull the lazy "you just hate strong women" card, let’s shut that down immediately. The Avatar fandom reveres well-written, powerful women. We adore Katara’s fierce maternal strength, Toph’s unapologetic badassery, Azula’s terrifying brilliance, and the sheer, unyielding force of Avatar Kyoshi. The issue with Korra isn't her gender; it's her atrocious character development. Korra was supposed to be a modern-day Kyoshi, a prodigy with Toph's attitude and Aang's legacy. Instead, we got a masterclass in how to have everything at your disposal and still end up a failure. It starts with her complete disrespect for preparation. Aang knew the world was modernizing and that the next Avatar would face complex threats. That’s why he put systems in place, like utilizing the Order of the White Lotus, to raise his successor to be wiser, prepared, and protected. What did Korra do? She threw all of that away because she felt "locked up" and wanted to see the world. Abandoning that training was the foundational mistake of her character arc. From the moment she left the White Lotus, it was one disaster after another. After defeating Amon, the audience hoped to see her mature, grow spiritually, and be less hard-headed. Instead, she chose to ignore the advice of her own father and Tenzin, blindly trusting Unalaq. Aang would have never lost to someone like Unalaq because he was too deeply rooted in his spirituality to be manipulated. Because of Korra’s spiritual ineptitude, she committed the ultimate Avatar sin: she allowed the connection to the past lives to be severed. She permanently destroyed the link to Aang, Roku, Kyoshi, and thousands of years of wisdom. We will never forgive her for this. Then there is her actual combat ability. The whole point of the Avatar is that they remain the most powerful force in the world under any circumstance. Yet, Korra constantly got beaten in 1v1 fights. Look at Aang: in the space of a single year, a 12-year-old boy mastered Air, learned Water, Earth (even mastering Toph's seismic sense), and Fire, while learning to redirect lightning. Korra had over a decade of formal training, yet she fought like a street brawler. She rarely utilized the fluid mastery of her native element, Water. If she had actually tuned into her training, she could have learned sub-skills like seismic sense, which would have given her a massive advantage over an Earthbender like Kuvira. Instead, she’d just throw fire punches and still get beaten. Frankly, Azula would have easily dismantled Kuvira, which is why Korra had no business losing that fight. Her lack of reverence extended to the Avatar State itself. For Aang, the Avatar State was a sacred, terrifying defense mechanism meant to restore balance to the world. Korra was impatient, refusing to learn from the systems put in place by her predecessors, and ended up using the Avatar State as a cheat code to win a scooter race against little kids. Do we even want to talk about her relationships? Aang built a trusted circle of friends that lasted a lifetime. Korra completely compromised hers. Like b!tch, you ruined the chemistry of your own "Team Avatar" by dating Mako, stringing Bolin along, kissing Mako while he was with Asami, and then dating Asami. Why introduce this messy, unnecessary teenage melodrama into a group that is supposed to be saving the world? Ultimately, her lack of real growth, her refusal to respect tradition, and her sheer combat incompetence tilted the balance of the world into chaos time and time again. That is why we consider her a failure. She lacked the wisdom, the spiritual guidance, and the discipline to fully comprehend and overpower her enemies. In the end, she felt less like a worthy successor to Aang, and more like a poorly written DEI hire. End.

@d_i_o_l @Kenzztz @Alhaji_dubaa Would*

@d_i_o_l @Kenzztz @Alhaji_dubaa Nigga was get sad and immediately start tweaking😭😭😭 to only come back if Katara is around. Korra had more of natural connection to the avatar state which allowed her to be more in control of it but was a lot easier to deal with since it wasn’t just uncontrolled power
