TXC2: title change!
Juliamon: it's really neat to me how PTCG and Pocket are ostensibly the 'same' card game, but functionally wildly different
Juliamon: like, Pocket feels like someone was given a handful of cards and told to write a ruleset for them with no outside help
Juliamon: "I don't know what 'prize' means so I'm gonna just call that points" kinda thing
LoadingReadyRun: MtG Pocket when 😃but also🤔

h3rsh3yb4r: lrrBEN lrrWHEELER
AFamiliarCalledEl: Yeah, please throw Terre Haute away
h3rsh3yb4r: so it's like the equivalent of commander!?
DeM0nFiRe: Is sol ring legal?
FurthestChunk: mods, rotate their bones a single degree

AttackCowboy: doing the thing that is asked not to do is doing the thing, not a bit

e_bloc: oh so it's modern x canadian highlander
TXC2: to hell with YT censoring
RustZenith: learning about this, and its singleton, my interest is piqued for getting back into the game
FurthestChunk: if i get into this i want to build nothing but Weezings and Clodsires and that kind of thing
Statist42: how does singleton work in pokemon? you only get one "bulbasaur" or you get up to 4 bulbasaurs but all have to be different?
Innocentwrath: Only 1.
Innocentwrath: it makes prizing... interesting.
thecrownjules_: HI GAMERS THIS IS THE BEST FORMAT
h3rsh3yb4r: is dipplin your ace?
LoadingReadyRun: Who up dipplin'?
FurthestChunk: Oh my god it's a Do The Wave deck

SourAndSublimes: wheelerKappa
LoadingReadyRun: Power Creep comes for us all. Even God
Innocentwrath: man, you're a month or so late on "living your best life" with normal type lol
h3rsh3yb4r: Most employeed pokemon trainer
thecrownjules_: Normal is a lil cracked yeahhh
e_bloc: love nermal type
h3rsh3yb4r: normal type is "ruin your evening?"
thecrownjules_: spread is what I play too!
Innocentwrath: the half dozen DCEs are... weirdly extra powerful when colorless is the type you want anyway.
thecrownjules_: yeahh
FurthestChunk: Five energy???

FurthestChunk: Oh hell yeah Porygon
Juliamon: yes, Japanese card games love bigger-than-necessary numbers
Croc64: dont look at yugioh
e_bloc: so if you just removed the last zero nothing would change
e_bloc: makes sense, big numbers are sexy
FurthestChunk: The Porygon Defender has logged on
TXC2: go to Duel masters where damage was in increments of 500 or 1000
thecrownjules_: it also still moves current product which helps
e_bloc: not to compare it to commander per se, but are they just going to rename it and make it an official format like wotc/edh
Croc64: Incredible start
Croc64: SPINDA SWEEP MOMENT
A_Dub888: duDudu
TXC2: 70 for EACH hit? damn
e_bloc: you can't just call your pokemon a drag-off
LRRbot: Buddy-Buddy Poffin | Trainer — Item | Search your deck for up to 2 Basic Pokémon with 70 HP or less and put them onto your Bench. Then, shuffle your deck.
Kadrofle: I keep forgetting I am watching live. Happy to see people play the Pokemon TCG. Only ever collected it.
Innocentwrath: common misconception, really. I would argue that EDH and Commander are actually entirely different formats. EDH was a delicious treat, and Commander is the same treat, a day after it was enjoyed.
e_bloc: @Innocentwrath yeah, that's fair. but it's easy to just shortcut it like that
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!)
FurthestChunk: So you can't get God
daredewley92: GLC brought me back baby
BronzePanda: i loved my snorlax that drew you 3 cards
FurthestChunk: THE BOY
Innocentwrath: One of the more common things I've seen with people just jamming games for GLC, since it *is* singleton, is to "cheat" when you use your first search effect, and look at your prizes. (then shuffle them, of course)
daredewley92: I've been waiting for this moment
Innocentwrath: that way you don't have to thumb through your deck to double check evolution lines.
e_bloc: @Innocentwrath that makes perfect sense
LRRbot: Quick Ball | Trainer — Item | You can play this card only if you discard another card from your hand. Search your deck for a Basic Pokémon, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.
FurthestChunk: the duck...
Innocentwrath: It's just easier for casual games, or testing a brand new deck.
FurthestChunk: Dog have you seen shiny Venomoth
TXC2: Porygon, proygon 2 and Porygon,: straight to Diteo
e_bloc: maybe with this, the Pokemon company will finally be profitable
Skye_Stryke: smh Paul trying to pitch a cocaine arc again
FurthestChunk: I immediately jumped to figuring out how to use one on VGC at least semi-casually when I caught a shiny Venomoth
BronzePanda: applin
FurthestChunk: It can do a mediocre Amoonguss impression
daredewley92: Yeah that's a common conversation topic

LRRbot: Giovanni's Scheme | Trainer — Supporter | Choose 1: • Draw cards until you have 5 cards in your hand. • During this turn, your Pokémon's attacks do 20 more damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). / You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).
e_bloc: prizes should be face up in this format, fight me
Swamplor: "Every game should be a memory game" - people who are good at memory games
BronzePanda: ancestral recall much?
Innocentwrath: There are cards for revealing prizes, they're pretty playable in this format.
FurthestChunk: no... don't hurt my child...
Innocentwrath: Town Map. So good.
Kentosaurus: 100% Cameron during the spider-man draft
TXC2: red means dead
A_Dub888: @FurthestChunk I don't think Ben would. Ben on the other hand...
e_bloc: is it still blaming if you're just stating a well-known fact
attackllama31: GYM LEADER CHALLENGE??? HECK YEAH
BronzePanda: What were they thinking when they named it GUZZLORD?
A_Dub888: uh ohhhh, thumpyyyy
Innocentwrath: Guzzlord is a *house* in GLC.
thecrownjules_: hes EEPY
LRRbot: Cynthia | Trainer — Supporter | Shuffle your hand into your deck. Then, draw 6 cards. / You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).
Fanklok: Does Guzzlord scream like in the anime?
Innocentwrath: Red Banquet is real good.
FurthestChunk: Yeah but it's Snorlax
FurthestChunk: Why would Snorlax be a light sleeper
Fanklok: In pocket Ben
drrek0: But he knows what he did
e_bloc: yeah I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with the terms guzzlord and grindcore
Fanklok: Grindcore is a style of music
FurthestChunk: Guzzlord is just a music afficionado
LoadingReadyRun: lrrPAUL btw Jenny Nicholson posted a fun video a little while ago about going to the most recent Pokemon Worlds. Looks like a pretty amazing event
Juliamon: ultra beasts are music nerds
LRRbot: Gift Energy | Energy — Special | As long as this card is attached to a Pokémon, it provides Colorless Energy. If the Pokémon this card is attached to is Knocked Out by damage from an attack from your opponent's Pokémon, draw cards until you have 7 cards in your hand.

Juliamon: Ball Guy best character
FurthestChunk: Okay what's everyone's favourite ball
TXC2: BronzePanda no doubt

Fanklok: BALL GUY LOVES BALLS
WitchyTQ: @FurthestChunk heal

LRRbot: Level Ball | Trainer — Item | Search your deck for a Pokémon with 90 HP or less, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.

asthanius: cherish balls are peak
LRRbot: Hisuian Heavy Ball | Trainer — Item | Look at your face-down Prize cards. You may reveal a Basic Pokémon you find there, put it into your hand, and put this Hisuian Heavy Ball in its place as a face-down Prize card. (If you don't reveal a Basic Pokémon, put this card in the discard pile.) Then, shuffle your face-down Prize cards.
FurthestChunk: Like every gen 4 legendary is in a dusk ball
BronzePanda: Premier balls are pretty rad
Neozyxn: Yeah in Yu-Gi-Oh you could find balloon
e_bloc: what level of hell is 'twitch chat but a program is text-to-voice reading every chat'
Innocentwrath: Sadly, you can't find Balloons in Pokemon.
asthanius: @innocentwrath no Air Balloon?
Innocentwrath: it specifies "the word Ball"
LoadingReadyRun: @e_bloc That is a pretty common thing that some streamers use
FurthestChunk: Jumpluff is a cute one
BronzePanda: Fluffy barrage lmao
Innocentwrath: No. Because "Balloon isn't the word ball. It has Ball in the word, but that's not the same thing." (official ruling lol)
Fanklok: Classic Hoploon Skiploon and Jumploon
e_bloc: @LoadingReadyRun unless chat is like 20 people that seems so incredibly cacophonous
FurthestChunk: never saw that coming
FurthestChunk: no...
LoadingReadyRun: "Applin, use Spray Fluid!.... ew"
FurthestChunk: the duck...
BrowneePointz: oh shit, Sandstorm?

Croc64: uppies moment real
Innocentwrath: yeah. It will be a text box that has the word "Rule"
LRRbot: Winona | Trainer — Supporter | Search your deck for up to 3 Colorless Pokémon and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. / You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).
Balugo: Dumb Question: did the boys cover how this format works at the beginning? I had a work meeting and couldn’t join, but will watch the VOD if so
Innocentwrath: What's everyone's points?
emilevitt: feeling validated from being the only pokemon player in school and having to teach everyone ligLUL
Balugo: thanks Ben!
BronzePanda: I loved my Aegislash V-Vmax deck from back in the day
Cavemanhar subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 47 months!

BrowneePointz: like I said, the og designers back in the 90s did a lot of research on Magic when making this game and it shows
BronzePanda: Steel pokemon are dope
AFamiliarCalledEl: B'doof
BrowneePointz: they made a good ass game

Innocentwrath: I spent nearly as much on shipping the Pokemon 99 stuff to my house as I did for the Pokemon 99 stuff...
Swamplor: "Confused" being card to remember is a flavor win!
FurthestChunk: He does have a German Koffing slabbed
Innocentwrath: German Lickitung is the best Lickitung.
Innocentwrath: "Schlurp"
e_bloc: are there layers in this game? because if this is too difficult to learn, M:TG might as well be written in alien

e_bloc: @BrowneePointz thank you!
LRRbot: Net Ball | Trainer — Item | Search your deck for a Basic Grass Pokémon or a Grass Energy card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.
Skye_Stryke: It does stop all of Bens multi attackers though right?

LRRbot: Hisuian Heavy Ball | Trainer — Item | Look at your face-down Prize cards. You may reveal a Basic Pokémon you find there, put it into your hand, and put this Hisuian Heavy Ball in its place as a face-down Prize card.

FurthestChunk: @Revelia He's actually more powerful, he's fucked more than once
Kentosaurus: this card gives Ben vietnam flashbacks
BronzePanda: YIKES
BrowneePointz: it’s just funny that Clay has a kid when you look at his design
TXC2: Kentosaurus no, that would be the ARVN card Kappa
FurthestChunk: What not a fan of big juggs there?
A_Dub888: uh ohhhh, juggyyyy
KeytarCat: So there I was, energy on my jugs
FurthestChunk: Some real stealth rock and whirlwind type shit

Fanklok: Isn't there a Kingdra with a pokemon power that puts a damage counter on like 4 guys
MookGB: Yall want there to be one store controlling a huge enough supply to price gouge?
Innocentwrath: there's not a lot of money in the "bulk" (which, amusingly, includes like 80% of the standard playable cards.)
thecrownjules_: PERISH

Croc64: GET THEY ASS
emilevitt: ironmouseOMEGALUL
MookGB: Card kingdom has terrible prices

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!)
Innocentwrath: @KingJimmeh the fact that you can take the pre-con and buy maybe 3-4 cards and have arguably a tier 1 list is wild though.
Garfman314: all i ever see at target is precons, never any packs
Garfman314: (and honestly, not many precons)
LRRbot: Escape Rope | Trainer — Item | Each player switches their Active Pokémon with 1 of their Benched Pokémon. Your opponent switches first. (If a player does not have a Benched Pokémon, they don't switch Pokémon.)
LoadingReadyRun: Are there more dedicated pokemon tcg stores in Japan?
BrowneePointz: oh is that freaking Iron Jugulis?
attackllama31: @LoadingReadyRun i'd say so, yes
Innocentwrath: Scalpers are a massive problem for this game. To a point where people will buy up basically all product from "big box" stores and immediately flip it online.
Fanklok: Juggs here refers to necks not big honkin bodonkaroos
KingJimmeh: @Innocentwrath That was my expectation, but trying to find the additional cards, that weren't alt arts, or if they were odd common pkmn was a nuisance.
LRRbot: Professor Kukui | Trainer — Supporter | Draw 2 cards. During this turn, your Pokémon's attacks do 20 more damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). / You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).

You can't use this card during your first turn or on a Pokémon that was put into play this turn. / You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn.
BrowneePointz: speaking of Claymotion Pokemon I still can’t believe we’re getting an Aardman Studio Pokemon show
ChargingFurret: you also can't evolve something that was put into play this turn
FurthestChunk: Also the card does say no to using it on cards you just played
Garfman314: pants bug!
BrowneePointz: Turt down for what
James_the_Dabbler: Turt up the base
James_the_Dabbler: Er, Turt down the woof
BrowneePointz: Lurantis slaps and I beg they give it a regional that has a speed stat above GARBAGE

daredewley92: I think the main reason I like GLC so much is that it feel like old school pokemon while allowing for new cards.
BrowneePointz: I love Su/Mo so much but did yall HAVE to make so many awesome Mons with a speed of “No”
attackllama31: i'm begging you to stop talking about wheeler's jugs

BrowneePointz: Her with the BIG boots
Innocentwrath: @daredewley92 It actually acted as a gateway drug to Standard format for me. So excited to NOT have to mess with the EX and the V and the V Max and all that nonsense. (then, ya know, decided to see what Standard looked like...)
FurthestChunk: man the fairy type in the TCG seems like it was such a wet fart
BrowneePointz: Mela 100% listens to Nightwish and Rammstein
LRRbot: Level Ball | Trainer — Item | Search your deck for a Pokémon with 90 HP or less, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.
BrowneePointz: Fairy Type in the tcg caused SO many issues @furthestchunk
daredewley92: @Innocentwrath Same
ChargingFurret: @FurthestChunk it's very sad, and then just got folded into the psychic typing
attackllama31: skwovet + bibarell goes crazy
