Aceviru: Oooooh
pleonasticTautology: ben it's so weird seeing you unshaved
pleonasticTautology: *shaved
pleonasticTautology: you're so baby-faced
TXC2: MTGO was dated when it first showed up :p
TXC2: Gen Alpha Ben :p
KWardJenx: Ben-Ben has a twin?
otakubox0: but what about your catchphrase
bytecaster: It is for the children
baylythebeard: The pokemon wars wiped out all beards
accountmadeforants: You get that Pokémon NPC dialog
e_bloc: lrrWOW
SnackPak_: any catchphrases about shorts? lrrBEEJ
pleonasticTautology: lmao
pleonasticTautology: that just makes me think of natural ketchup
Juliamon: You just scrolled past one
Kentosaurus: "I'm wearing my comfy shorts" is pretty good
Frankensteins_Hamster: there was
Frankensteins_Hamster: its like 10 down
Juliamon: Two below the ketchup
calculated_uncertainties: Scroll down is near ketchup
Frankensteins_Hamster: you got there
MungoDude: could we wear shorts though?
pleonasticTautology: i do like that there's a catchphrase about a dress having pockets
calculated_uncertainties: Kids game done right/ better
LRRbot: If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
pleonasticTautology: i was fully expecting you to say "five dollars."
Aceviru: Dang. That's value
pleonasticTautology: !!!
Statist42: is there still a trading mechanic like the old client?
pleonasticTautology: N's Zoroark 🥺
Frizzlenill: been thinking about getting back into this game. Absolutely wild that they make it extremely hard to spend money
pleonasticTautology: i'm just going to have poké-emotions
Frizzlenill: also every year at rotation they give away full entire meta decks, like 8 of them lmao
Simbionis: Now you've got a bunch of the staple cards they only get cheaper too
e_bloc: so how do they make money
Aceviru: This is why I don't mind buying merch or packs
Frizzlenill: well don't complement game freak TOO much, remember Pocket exists while Live gets choked on budget and staff @LoadingReadyRun
A_Dub888: ah yes, the deck that prizes its two pidgeys
A_Dub888: *prized
pleonasticTautology: @e_bloc the card game is made by the pokémon company international, which can't not make money
e_bloc: interesting
Frizzlenill: that said, as a way to make the GAME of ptcg approachable and try to get more people PLAYING rather than collecting, Live is fantastic
pleonasticTautology: ptcg was ORIGINALLY made by wotc! and then tpci took it over at a point
Frizzlenill: @e_bloc basically, if you want more stuff in ptcg Live, you have to buy physical cards somehow. Either code cards from someone who bought packs, or buying packs yourself. So it DOES feed into PTCG, but they get to be really generous with the digital economy because it's there to sell the PHYSICAL game
pleonasticTautology: joltik is one of my favorite pokémon ever
A_Dub888: just casually ramp 4 energies at its first opportunity
Frankensteins_Hamster: ooo shiny
nightsreach: i still remember that pokemon with 30hp are usually cracked because of the low hp
Frizzlenill: if we start talking about move names we're gonna be here all day
Juliamon: nightsreach ptcg does love its glass cannons
Frizzlenill: gholdengo pure is popular right? This is kinda a splash?
Frizzlenill: with Good Punch
accountmadeforants: "Good Punch" is an amazing move name
Frizzlenill: okidogi! Use Good Punch!
ArcOfTheConclave: good punch
pleonasticTautology: it took me a while to get the pun of okidogi's name, until i said it out loud for the first time, and it made me fall in love with okidogi
e_bloc: we Okidogi Fight Club now
pleonasticTautology: bennnnnnnn the dlc is genuinely amazing
littleunknownn: The DLC is so good!
pleonasticTautology: i honestly enjoyed it fine on my switch 1
pleonasticTautology: my brain doesn't like the higher frame rate lmao
jwholla: theres a new game coming out next month, right?
pleonasticTautology: @jwholla yeah, pokémon legends z-a
Frizzlenill: I still think people are saying fezandipiti wrong. Pretty sure that if you follow spelling rules it's fe-ZAN-duh-PEET-y (dipiti like tahiti)
pleonasticTautology: set in a post-x/y luminose city
nightsreach: @Juliamon it's sad that they went the route of inflating hps and attacks, but not many choices with the limited mechanics the game has
PhoenixMelior: Gday chat, i see havent m8ssed much yet!
pleonasticTautology: 🥺
Juliamon: yup, just discussing the decks for today!
pleonasticTautology: frembd
TXC2: hello PhoenixMelior welcome
Frizzlenill: @nightsreach because the game is almost exclusively played in standard anyway, the power creep isnt as big a deal because HP and damage are scaling up proportionately, and it gives them more ability to more precisely/granularly balance attacks and breakpoints overall
PhoenixMelior: Wow that monkey art kinda cute
TXC2: so what does standard mean in PTCG ?
nightsreach: @Frizzlenill fair enough, i definitely don't keep up with this tcg
TXC2: !heychat
LRRbot: Please ONLY offer advice when the streamer uses the phrase "Hey, chat...". Let them try to learn the game on their own, even if it means they miss a thing or two.
Frizzlenill: but yeah I will fight for fezanda-petey as the pronunciation till my dying day
PhoenixMelior: That's cool i have no idea what's going on either!
Frizzlenill: yeah PTCG strategy is a lot of sequencing stuff and multiple-turn planning @LoadingReadyRun
Frizzlenill: PTCG standard is the last 2 years, rotating every year
Juliamon: Frizzlenill But that takes away the only justification for the name
pleonasticTautology: i also have no idea what's going on, i'm here to vibe
Frizzlenill: @Juliamon then they shouldn't have spelt it that way
TXC2: Frizzlenill ah like Magic was, ok
alchemistsavant: Oh that board is cute.
Frizzlenill: same thing with stupid 'skibidi'. That should either be pronounced skuh-beedy, or spelt 'skibbedy'.
Juliamon: I can't argue with that, they dropped the ball hard on that bird
A_Dub888: @alchemistsavant ur cute
Aceviru: Also helps that bottom left has a letter that lets you know. Super helpful
Frizzlenill: ooh they have a new board
alchemistsavant: @A_Dub888 i parry your cute and unleash a devastating "ur cuter" counterattack
Juliamon: ok, I do have to disagree on skibidi, not all languages have the same syllable emphasis rules
Frizzlenill: generally it's all about getting your engine online, keeping yourself sustained on cards/resources, and then planning a sequence of prize-takes that give your opponent the least ability to swing back (and/or having a backup attacker if they do)
TXC2: English will use vowels however it feels like and you can't stop it :p
alchemistsavant: I like how the hand stacks duplicates.
Frizzlenill: (that was not backseating intentionally, that was more explaining the gameflow for chat)

alchemistsavant: Oh so it buffs basics to fight against EX mons?
A_Dub888: yup
pleonasticTautology: i'm gonna redownload this on my ipad right now lmao
PhoenixMelior: Can I read? I also wonder this
Uzumaki15: Hol' up there's a Typhlosion deck!? Quilava is my all time fav Mon, sick to see its line have a good deck :D
Frizzlenill: honestly waiting to punch their dude makes sense
pleonasticTautology: @Uzumaki15 you have good taste! (our favorite ever is cyndaquil)
pleonasticTautology: that's really cute...
Frizzlenill: the one thing I really dislike about ptcg is how they'll introduce a mechanic or card category and then just never support it beyond the 2nd set
Frizzlenill: because they make a lot of cool stuff and then just abandon it
Frizzlenill: Buddy BLAST
TXC2: Frizzlenill same reason why I don't like that they moved away from blocks in MtG
Frizzlenill: @TXC2 yeah. But ptcg does a lot more parasitic stuff which generally aggravates the problem
TXC2: Frizzlenill ooh yeah that's not good
otakubox0: yeah the board swapping is pretty cool
PhoenixMelior: That sushi was char broiled
A_Dub888: !card oko thief
LRRbot: Oko, Thief of Crowns [1GU] | Legendary Planeswalker — Oko [4] | [+2]: Create a Food token. / [+1]: Target artifact or creature loses all abilities and becomes a green Elk creature with base power and toughness 3/3. / [−5]: Exchange control of target artifact or creature you control and target creature an opponent controls with power 3 or less.
Uzumaki15: *shakes cane* back in my day the highest hp a pokemon had was 120 XD
Frizzlenill: this is an example where the opponent is pushing forward too quickly without as much of a backup plan and/or target prioritization so it's putting them in a bad position 3-4 turns from now
WVUBird: The victini on their bench makes the typhlosion do +10 damage. The typhlosion can ohko okidogi.
Frizzlenill: !
pleonasticTautology: back in my day the only digital client was on the game boy
pleonasticTautology: iono is so gender
Scarbble: iono is very gender, yeah
ipoddodd: exactsies :(
pleonasticTautology: i know of a few systems that have iono headmates who are very gender
Frizzlenill: realistically this may still have been the play
pleonasticTautology: the internet seems to have having a Moment
PhoenixMelior: Who's using all the weefees?!
Frizzlenill: munkidori would be great but we have no way to turn it on rn
pleonasticTautology: i mean i also was having problems trying to download ptcg live
pleonasticTautology: YEAH
A_Dub888: @Frizzlenill yeah, even if we ko'd the victini, they just tutor up the last ethan's adventure and go one shot mode anyway
pleonasticTautology: i LOVE HER
TXC2 GRABS ARENA, see this, see how it reconnected IN CLIENT?! you need to do that arena!
A_Dub888: Ben, you're great
pleonasticTautology: if we didn't have a penny and a kieran in our system we'd have an iono lmao
shittlesticks: Fez for weakness
Frizzlenill: @TXC2 maybe it's improved since I played but... they're doing their best with a really constrained budget and staff size, it's kinda ehhh on some fronts
TXC2: Frizzlenill do you mean this or arena? 'cause yeah has never had the budget or staff it's needed :p
TXC2: *arena has
WVUBird: That trainer is Briar. But it only works if your active pokemon is a tera type.
TXC2: I apologise I keep brining up Arena, but it's my only frame of reference :P
pleonasticTautology: she also have trans hair :D
pleonasticTautology: ben i will literally buy you the dlc if you tell me what version you have
littleunknownn: I would play the DLC if possible
littleunknownn: It improves the game so much
pleonasticTautology: no i mean
shittlesticks: Brambleghast is a fun meme deck, too!
pleonasticTautology: scarlet or violet
PhoenixMelior: I gave up on scarlet because of the performance issues tbh
tehfewl: i love the big stinky poo poo baby clodsire
kaijuknight428: You can also grab the shiny treasures of ruin if you log into sc/vi
shittlesticks: Bramble gets +50hp got each prize your opponent has taken, so it combos with Dusks and reversal energies
TXC2: why Goodra so sad?
Frizzlenill: it was a proper tanking deck. Mega Venusaur is looking like it'll have that playstyle too @LoadingReadyRun
Simbionis: If you want an annoying to knock out deck maybe look at Crustle
bytecaster: I'm also really sleepy, so I get you Goodra
SnackPak_: sleepy being mistaken for sad is a mood
TXC2: ah sleepy, the different kind of sad
pleonasticTautology: but yeah, i'd be happy to buy it for you because i wouldn't be paying canadian msrp lmao. us codes work on canadian switches
theambivalentagender: When I went to Worlds I honestly went around to vendors to see if they had a Hisuian Goodra plush I could send up your way but no luck.
mewietwoie150: resting rest face
theambivalentagender: I did get a Dragapult plush tho
lightfut: Hey, coin flips without the bleeding
pleonasticTautology: okay! let me @ you on bluesky because my bsky is our singletsona

shittlesticks: Munki goes hard if you can find it
shittlesticks: Send their damage back to them
Simbionis: Slowking!!!
sovietarchaeomancer: Oh god it's THAT deck, you're in for a fun time
Simbionis: I love this deck
pleonasticTautology: oh from gripping the chair?
Aceviru: Watermelon
TXC2: pleonasticTautology probably from elbowing the watermelon
pleonasticTautology: OH YEAH
pleonasticTautology: i forgot about that part lmao
pleonasticTautology: i just. that dragonfruit.
TXC2: the milk did it for me
kaijuknight428: Thats another reason why you need to play the dlc, ogerpon is best
pleonasticTautology: @TXC2 G-D YEAH
JumbahJawn: The Budew Mirror match, AKA hell on earth
KyeMonster: I did not have 'Adam obliterating fruit' on my bingo card for curing my depression this week
theambivalentagender: Also I highly recommend checking out Pokemon Worlds if you can go, it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be.
shittlesticks: Munki with darkness will let you toss the damage they do to you back on their mons
pleonasticTautology: i honestly really want to go to the convention in sf next year
theambivalentagender: @pleonasticTautology My partner and I plan to go, money permitting
pleonasticTautology: sf is only a 14 hour drive from seattle, i could do that easy
theambivalentagender: We're down near LA, so I honestly want to take the train up lol
Jundinator: Hello NOT WHEELER
Jundinator: Where is WHEELER
pleonasticTautology: @theambivalentagender oh that'd be sick
TXC2: hello Jundinator welcome
Simbionis: I hope they have the play
TXC2: Wheeler is elsewhere
ipoddodd: om nom nom
pleonasticTautology: [the following is a joke] ben can you give me your best "nyeh?" a la yu gi oh abridged
theambivalentagender: Wheeler used Substitute
A_Dub888: @Jundinator apparently he walked out of the moonbase, said "Magic: The Gathering" and was never heard from again
couchboyj: The REAL Canadian Highlander. There can only be one!
SnackPak_: lrrBartleby
pleonasticTautology: HAHAHAHA
pleonasticTautology: thank you omg
shittlesticks: They are definitely doing the thing
Aceviru: seaofdShinyQuagPog
TXC2: a 14 hour drive is mind boggling to me, as a child, a 3 hour drive would be long enough to have a meal break in the middle :p
Juliamon: yeah, North American travel honks
kaijuknight428: Dang
sovietarchaeomancer: Kyurem is the other main attack mon
pleonasticTautology: i mean yes but also: i drove cross country to move to seattle from new york
Simbionis: I love Slowking so much
pleonasticTautology: and i did that drive in 3 days
pleonasticTautology: i'm also *insane* /gen
shittlesticks: Their reversal energy is only 1 energy now, though, because they are tied on prizes
shittlesticks: Keeping them item locked will make it hard for them to find cards to stack on top of their deck
Atrosity: Fez to draw 3, since you had a mon die last turn
Aceviru: I would've gone up to Atlanta and driven the 13 hours or so for the magic con, but life happened. There's always next year
pleonasticTautology: i mean i've threatened wheeler with a 12-pack of baja blast zero sugar driven direct to victoria lmao
pleonasticTautology: interrupted a commander game about it lmao
pleonasticTautology: if it takes less than 24 hours to drive a place i'll just... do it.
pleonasticTautology: all i know about atlanta is that one of their sports venues is a butthole

Desruprot: Is this your Pokemon?
emboar2235: did you see mega hawlucha?
A_Dub888: does that slowking have a fighting resistance? is that why Okidogi's damage is reduced? (140 as opposed to 170)
pleonasticTautology: i am so excited for PLZA
PhoenixMelior: Mega hawlucha is a fantastic design
emboar2235: shiny mega hawlucha is gonna slap given that shiny hawlucha is amazing

A_Dub888: and now I can't unsee it either
alchemistsavant: Just being able to see the pretty cards in HD up close is cool from someone that doesn't collect the physical cards.
TXC2: Right chat I'm off, and if you don't see me tomorrow, it's cause I'm moving house :p

shittlesticks: Yeah
sovietarchaeomancer: This is poison donk
pleonasticTautology: it's hilarious that it's called donk
WVUBird: Poison Pecharunt
pleonasticTautology: because my brain's like "it's called mudsbray"
shittlesticks: Funny enough, mew doesn't do anything to zoroark ex, as it's attack copies and N's pokemon attack
pleonasticTautology: hey question for chat: is hisuian zoroark still in standard, and are there any meta decks with them
shittlesticks: @pleonasticTautology Not anymore
pleonasticTautology: @shittlesticks dang

dolphgrim: who tf wouldn't hang out w/ Ben on a TUESDAY? I'll fight 'em.

ThePixelSavage: cant be magical its Pokemon not Magic
Mazrae: Afternoon Ben, how are you doing
A_Dub888: If they used Archaludon's main attack, Reshiram's first attack would mean we could KO on the crack back

Mangledpixel: best lil' zappy friend
fsforwardsound: i like the fat pikachu sleeves. bring back fat pikachu
e_bloc: since it seems like people check their deck as soon as they search it, would there be any harm in being able to look at your prizes
dolphgrim: @e_bloc Surely not if you did it fast enough when no one was looking. 😉😉😉
e_bloc: or is that part of the mystique
wiigamer1995: Some people would argue prize checking is a skill
dolphgrim: Are there cards that let you peek at your prizes?
wiigamer1995: Yes
tahoebyker: You could just shuffle them when it's time to take a prize
wiigamer1995: !pokemon town map
