 GhostValv:  Congrats on your streamer-versary!
Raincoast_Bear: Love to see people play the TCG. Really bothers me to see the card traders/scalpers hording cards.
 TXC2: no turn 1 instants/sorceries would be huge in MtG
 Moomin_Latte: so many DELTA symbols on these cards
  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 (Named clips with no autocaptions are preferred but not required!)
Raincoast_Bear: I should find the deck I used to play with my son about 10 years ago. I remember the top 'mon was Regigigas.
FurthestChunk: We love Castform Big Naturals around here
Raincoast_Bear: Delta = changed
 TXC2: so is Holon a place?
 Moomin_Latte: yes
 James_the_Dabbler: Yeah, it’s a TGC-only place where they have special type-shifted Pokemon
 James_the_Dabbler: *TCG
 TXC2: Moomin_Latte  James_the_Dabbler  ok, thank you
 James_the_Dabbler: It also is the post-game of the fan-made Pokemon Insurgence
NarwhalsInATrenchcoat: fastbond to faint
FurthestChunk: Damn it's wild seeing Ariados be good
 Moomin_Latte: super=50%
 Moomin_Latte: have fun!!
 goombalax: I'm hearing that only the tightest plays are going to happen
 Moomin_Latte: the downside and upside of ex were still fairly balanced
 Moomin_Latte: the relative hp was ratioed correctly
kirbyrocks: HP bloat is fine, giving pokemon strictly better abilities is so annoying
 Foxdarts:  Congrats on your streamer-versary!
FurthestChunk: honestly the most wild part of this stream is that wheeler managed to unblue himself
 TXC2: "damn Ben, how come your mom lets you have 2 Evees?"
FurthestChunk: god spinarak is so cute
kirbyrocks: Clay spinarak 
 TXC2: Spinarak evolved to look like a ditto?
  Juliamon: It's not really a Ditto face
FurthestChunk: damn Lugia is very cool
FurthestChunk: Oh that's a good Pidgey
kirbyrocks: Quick search?
 idontgetmyrealname: Oh hye, I also have those Batgirl sleeves. My Poppy riftbound deck is in them
FurthestChunk: God, the art on all of these cards rips
FurthestChunk: Evergreen statement for Pokémon but still
FurthestChunk: I want to give that Squirtle pats
  LRRbot: Rocket's Admin. | Trainer — Supporter | You can play only one Supporter card each turn. When you play this card, put it next to your Active Pokémon. When your turn ends, discard this card. / Each player shuffles his or her hand into his or her deck. Then, each player counts his or her Prize cards left and draws up to that many cards. (You draw your cards first.)
 Moomin_Latte: or even sometimes photograph not just draw
 Moomin_Latte: i love the mixed media ones
 TXC2: "you draw your cards first" is an interesting clause
 ContingentCat: poke body is what you get from too many poke bowls
 Moomin_Latte: iirc no
FurthestChunk: I would assume that it just hits powers not bodies but y'know
 Moomin_Latte: but i may be wrong
kirbyrocks: Mostly just the name
FurthestChunk: it is funny that they separated them out and then shoved them back together later
kirbyrocks: Powers turn off when they were effected by a status effect but not poke bodies I believe
 KeytarCat: I just watched the Pokemon Champions vods, so I'm happy to see Ben's girafarig is getting stage time
DMGlol: steven giving some pretty good advice
FurthestChunk: oh yeah this is when doubles was technically a thing
Jundinator: Hi chat
 Strebenherz: good afternoon y'all.
Jundinator: Is this the e-reader cards era?
 Moomin_Latte: like a bounce land
  Juliamon: skipped over the e-reader era
 TXC2: hello Jundinator  I think this is after
Jundinator: @Juliamon Awww why
 TXC2: hello Strebenherz  welcome
Jundinator: So what sets we working with
  Juliamon: EX era
Jundinator: Is this gen3 or gen4?
 Moomin_Latte: end of 3
Jundinator: And im guessing the card pool doesn't extend all the way back to base set, fossil etc?
 Moomin_Latte: it does not
Jundinator: Is cardreader not working?
Jundinator: The bot part
  Juliamon: it's trying
  Juliamon: only has worked like once though
Jundinator: Oof
 goombalax: moshi moshi
 Moomin_Latte: holon engine decks are deffo notorious for taking practice to master
 lightfut: Holon little girl! Show me what he's done to you
Jundinator: Wait is this the era of delta species?
  Juliamon: ya
Jundinator: Ooh
 millenomi_Aura: ben ulmer vs coin

 millenomi_Aura: I am liking this as well!
kirbyrocks: I love it
 Strebenherz: agreed
 dolphgrim: Anybody got any m&m for counters? 👀
   LoadingReadyRun: In the pokemon videogame, does Spinarak have different faces designs on its butt?
  Juliamon: sadly no
kirbyrocks: No
 millenomi_Aura: 
 dolphgrim: 😭
  Juliamon: they didn't really do variations until Vivillon
 Masslost:  Congrats on your streamer-versary!
dpj2009: Only wheelz carries rare candy
 millenomi_Aura: justice for arbok
  Juliamon: it's not
 millenomi_Aura: !
 TXC2: except that it's not
  Juliamon: the first stream was in January
  Juliamon: LRRbot keeps these stats
  Juliamon: Partner was 31 Aug
  Juliamon: which is still 2 weeks, but closer
 TXC2: damn, how big was the tree?!
   LoadingReadyRun: wait, so what is this the anniversary of?
 dolphgrim: @TXC2 Not big enough, apparently
  Juliamon: I'm guessing partner because it's closest
 AugmentingPath: so is this the stump that you smash all your extra pokeballs against?
kirbyrocks: Collapsible stadium is the most current version and it's just discard I'm pretty sure but it's down to 4
 TXC2: dolphgrim  indeed
 couchboyj: You've been on Twitch so long they forgot when you started and just hazarded a guess.
 dolphgrim: @couchboyj The information was lost at Alexandria, unfortunately
kirbyrocks: Yea finding the card you always want is great, festival players rise up
 TXC2: Ben that is me verses any deck ever 
zigboy22:  Congrats on your streamer-versary!
zigboy22: apparentle
 Moomin_Latte: great ball (aka now nest ball)
kirbyrocks: Oh no
 millenomi_Aura: it _is_ great
   LoadingReadyRun:  I like that twitch doesn't mention anything about our streamer-versary on *our* dashboard. We have to learn out it from viewers
 millenomi_Aura: oh, my life
  Juliamon: And also doesn't explain what a "streamer-versary" IS
 TXC2: it's all very Twtich
 millenomi_Aura: mood
 Strebenherz: @LoadingReadyRun like nothing at all?  that's... huh.  
 couchboyj: Did they have LRRbot from day 1?  Is it possible they started streaming a few months before LRRbot was up and running?
  Juliamon: LRRbot had dates put in manually
 tdapenguin:  When is a streamer-versary? What is it? Who, why, and how? So many unknowns. 
  Juliamon: (it also counts how many months since LRR was founded!)
 couchboyj: Gotcha.  Then go home Twitch, you are drunk.
 millenomi_Aura: : D
 Strebenherz: i wish mtg did more art like this outside of secret lairs
 Moomin_Latte: it's a cycler you keep tutoring for
 TXC2: !pokemon pokemon retriever
  LRRbot: Pokémon Retriever | Trainer — Rocket's Secret Machine | Search your discard pile for Basic Pokémon and Evolution cards. You may either show 1 Basic Pokémon or Evolution card to your opponent and put it into your hand, or show a combination of 3 Basic Pokémon or Evolution cards to your opponent and shuffle them into your deck.
  Juliamon: https://lrrbot.com/notifications there's a little [?] button here that you can click to view all relevant dates
super731: i guess cause you don't "search" your graveyard
 gsyhiap:  Congrats on Twitch being very confused!
Necky: blue decks are still blue decks no matter the game huh
 millenomi_Aura: mood
 millenomi_Aura: I'm not going to repeat it a third time but gods
 millenomi_Aura: life
 TXC2: millenomi_Aura  existence is suffering
 millenomi_Aura: yay

Invitare: What even is a Holon?
  Juliamon: it's a research village
FurthestChunk: it's a place in the TCG and only the TCG
FurthestChunk: i am getting sick of this mentor's face
FurthestChunk: I just can't stand this guy's obsession with Castform Big Naturals
kirbyrocks: We love community made names
FurthestChunk: she transitioned
 Strebenherz: castform's transition?
 couchboyj: Hey, big naturals doesn't specify big natural WHATs.
 millenomi_Aura: look
 Strebenherz: power to her
 millenomi_Aura: you do what you can with what you have
 Moomin_Latte: totally how that works btw
 Moomin_Latte:  
 Moomin_Latte: RS_PK rocks
 KeytarCat: I'm thinking of pulling together a pokemon 99 teaching event for my local game night.  Is there a good way to do that?  like, MTG has the jump start beginner boxes, is there anything "like that" for pokemon 99?
FurthestChunk: chestnut...
chaos5896: !break
  LRRbot: Remember chat, break time for the streamer means break time for YOU, so unclench, get up, stretch, walk about a bit, and maybe refresh your drink, take your meds, or go to the toilet if you need to.  Don't forget to wash your hands!

 KeytarCat: I've been reading the blog!  I'm looking at printing off proxies of JKlacs's 10 recommended base-fossil decks and hauling those to a game night
