finals or semifinals to some tcg tournament circuit years ago, could have gone forward to nationals I think otherwise, the field was very weak. Don’t play Pokémon lol

The PTCG phone game is super frustrating when I flip tails like 8 times in a row. I can't imagine doing that IRL lol

[–] Ivysaur@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The coin flips are the worst part of the game by far. Everyone IRL uses dice for it, heads = even, tails = odd.

That makes a lot of sense, especially since you're probably bringing some as counters anyways

You mean pocket or the actual one? Pocket has way more coin flips

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yep pocket. I'm just totally not salty about losing a match from 8 missed coin flips for Celebi

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

The amount of flips in regular Pokemon tcg is so much less. There's a stat at the end of each match on ptcglive of "coin flips won" and almost always it says 0 or 1 for both
