Normally I would have edited the previous post, but fuck it, I'd rather post a new post instead.

I pretty much said that to get Platinum and to avoid Truimphail (dashunicorn ordered that and is now regretting it). This butthurt Truimphail fanboy, called PikachewTofu cries about how I'm hating it for not having Lost World (something I never mentioned), then says it's better than 3/4 of the sets now and pretty much names the usual suspects that are bashed to hell (for those you don't know that, RR, SV, AR, and UD) and how is one of the best boxes ever.
Lost World's recent abandoment from the US is not the reason Truimphail sucks. Truimphail sucks because it lacks anything worthwhile and has a shitload of hype behind it. And as for being better than the other sets:
Rising Rivals has many cards that are really cool: Flygon (and X), Luxray GL X, Infernape 4 X, Lucian's Assignement, The Rotoms, The Pikachu reprints, Mismagius GL X, Darkrai G, Arcanine, and tons other cards from the Sinnoh Gym Leaders and Elite 4. Truimphail, from what I have seen from reports, lack even the shiny Pokemon cards that they promised of the Legendary Beast Tins. That is just pathetic.
Supreme Victors is the same way. Garchomp C X, Blaziken FB X, Magmortar, Metagross, Rayquaza C X, Dragonite FB, Electivire FB X, Venusaur, Chatot G, Retro Promo Reprints, Shiny Pokemon and tons other cards from Cynthia/Cyrus/Frontier Brains. Truimphail again, apparently let out the promised shiny cards, which would make it more of a failure if this is true.
Arceus has many cards that are used this format, massively: Expert Belt, Cursegar, Charizard, Gengar X, and not to mention the Arceus cards are rising in popularity. Other amazing cards include Cherrim, Froslass, Toxicroak, Swalot, Sceptile, shiny Pokemon, Tangrowth X, and many more.Truimphail so far does not seem to have single shiny card (and I've heard reportsof pulling Alph Lithographs, but no shiny), the tin ad said "Look for shiny pokemon in upcoming sets" and Undaunted was out at the time, so there is no excuse that the shinies would be absent.
Speaking of Undaunted that set also has many gtood cards. I already listed a list of them in the past, here are some of them: Espeon Prime, Umbreon Prime, Raichu Prime, Scizor Prime, Umbreon, Kyogre&Groudon LEGEND, Special Energies, Drifblim, Vileplume, Alph Lithograph that discards stadiums, Energy Exchanger, Gliscor, Leafeon, Weavile, and tons of others. Undanted is an underrated set that gets much less than it deserves. Meanwhile, Triumphant is treated like a Halo game before release and pretty much sucks. And the apprant lack of shinies is a problem because the shinies were confirmed to be in upcoming sets, and there are over 10 cards that are yet to be translated. There is no excuse for this and the set is hyped to hell.
So pretty much, Triumphail is NOT better than those sets, it's fucking garbage and has nothing on those sets. And I gotta love how he calls me uncreative for hating Truimphail for the lack Lost World (even though that was never brought up or has nothing to do with Truimphail sucking), yet uses the same 4 sets that the usual PokeBeach conformist bashes to death. What a hypocrite.
After I destroyed his arguments, stated how better Platinum than Truimphail, and how they same 4 sets (I'm calling these sets, The Hated 4 for now on) never got the hype Truimphail got. PikachewTofu got butthurt again and backpedalled how he never bashed The Hated 4, he just said that Truimphail was better and how he never attacked Platinum, then said that Platinum would be rotated next year.
The fact that he brought up The Hated 4 and compared Truimphail favorly against those, implies that he is bashing those. Platinum is by far the best box you can buy for a serious Pokemon player, as has the best stuff for this format. It will be rotated out NEXT YEAR, but this year has just begun, so that is not so much a bad idea. Especially for someone who is getting back in the TCG. Have this been the Summer 2011, his argument would be more legit, but right now it's Ocotber 2010 and the Platinum cards will be around, so that would a better off.
I mean why buy a set of the most effective cards on the format when you can buy some half quarter-assed set that failed to live up to the unbelievable amount of hype?

I will so be warned for this
http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=88480&page=2
Tons of more Truimphail English scans have surfaced (with no signs of the overhyped Lost World). I have added my non-conformist 2 cents and if the post itself is not a warning, the rebutals to the butthurt responses will.
I am also preparing a review of Triumphail because the set will be revealed after the first set of Prereleases thaqt start tommorrow.
*waits*
EDIT: It seems my post has been ignored, but I noticed something else: dmaster is a backpedaling hypocrite. Here is he said on 10-06-2010 08:24 PM:
Get Triumphant. It's probably the best set since SF/PL.
dmaster out.
dmaster out.
And look what he is saying now:
dmaster out.
Because 2 trainer cards are gone his opinion of the set is went 180. First he said the set will be awesome, no he thinks it's shit. Because those 2 cards are gone, that makes the set bad and there is barely anything, yet it was perfectly good with the 2 cards. Even with the 2 cards, the will still be lacking. It makes no sense that 2 uncommon/common cards being removed breaks a set, it didn't have much minus the 2 cards it never did anything in first place. No 2 Lost World cards will magically make a 102 card set better unless they were Rares (or Ultra/Secret Rares). And about Gengar being "utterly useless" without those cards that's bullshit. I hate Truimphail and even I can say Gengar is good on its own. Making Pokemon in your hand and Knocked Out cards unrecoverable is devastating regardless if it makes you win or not. Utterly useless, my ass.
I just love (and I'm serious) how everyone is now bashing Triumphail because Lost World is apparently missing. Now everyone is seeing Truimphail for what it truly is: a overhyped set that sucks. I just thought Truimphail was mediocre until the hype made it seem like god and because of that I hate it. Never really liked it from day one. But at least it has Dragonite.

The other PokeBeachers
I've talked about the conformist group that pretty much unanimously bashes Undaunted, Supreme Victors, Rising Rivals, and Arceus sets and give Truimphail a divine treatment prior to release. Now I want to talk about the other plague of the PokeBeach community, the people who bash other aspects of Pokemon, like 4th Generation and certain music. At one point, the entire community went Anti-Nintendo during the whole BW takedown notice (legendhunter32 still is butthurt). This time I will not use the avatars.
First I'll start with the webmaster, himself, Water Pokemon Master.
This guy is pretty a whiny prick of person and a fool. I heard he acts very immaturely in communities like Serebii and BMG, as well as going to Pokemon Liberated and getting butthurt by the fact that his scans got used. He is also insecure and asinine. Oh and here is him being fooled by a fake set that some spammer made up: LOL!
There is also a certain stupid Super Mod, called dmaster. He is another Overcritical Asshole and conformist. This guy is such a great mod, he never realizes that my signature pic is some guy's fat exposed chest. I see how obvious its looks but even uyp to now, it still remains. A good mod would be suspicious and at least ask. Dumbfuck.
Now for a certain 5th generation fanboy :
This guy is insurecure and fucking inane. As stated earlier, I talked about my first impressions of the grass elemental monkey, Yannapu and that it looked fucking lame (and it still does as well as its evo). TDL got very butthurt about it and pretty much linked some comic that is fucking stupid, then said to accept that green piece of shit or quit, and said "That's just stupid and you deserve to be punched in the face -_-"
O RLY? I should accept that stupid Aipom reject or quit? Fuck you. Who are you to tell me what to like, you facist sack of shit? How about you do not insult people outright for their opinions? You're fucking 20 and you are still insecure? Grow the fuck up. You say "That's just stupid" like you are any better. NOT EVERYBODY IS GONNA LIKE THAT GREEN MONKEY OR 5TH GENERATION IN GENERAL! So, fuck off. And if I deserve to be punched in the face, then you deserve to have your leg fucking broken.
Going back to the conformist jerks of the TCG. I posted a report of a Prerelease that went wrong, as it had trolls who hated the set that was featured in the Prerelease, people were waiting an hour until the event started and it lacked Leafeon Promos. Some asshole with the username of Kraai pretty much got butthurt that I called a person a troll.
I know, how about I go to a Triumphail Prerelease and talk about how this set is terrible? Should be there if I'm gonna act about how a certain card is not in a set? Are you promoting misbehavior in a Premier Event? That's like if I went to VGC and said that these rules are half-assed, do I belong there? No. And neither does people who bitch about Magnezone Prime not being Undaunted in a Undaunted PRERELEASE. White Knighting trolls like this is just as bad as trolling. Undaunted haters belong in its respective Prerelease belong just as an Athiest belongs in chruch.
I bet this Kraai faggot hates Undaunted, too and is part of the Triumphail bullshit phenomenon. Like DarkPkmnTrainer.
Another Undaunted hater that goes by the name Rubyiris, but that guy is a piece of shit loser I will not elaborate on because he is jack shit worth it.There is a certain asshole that is on YouTube (and PokeBeach) called TheJWittz. He has a partner channel and he makes stupid worthless videos that fucking suck. His series: Prof-It. Half of his videos are boring deck lists and the other half are offensive, sacrilegious bullshit that makes me sick. He made a review of HS Unleashed which was horribly biased and fucking unintelligent. He pretty much dismissed every Prime and LEGEND (except Kingdra) as crap and disregarded how good they can be. His review of Undaunted sucked, too. As he once again bashed the Primes. He also made horrible video where he reviewed the LEGENDS and failed miserably at being funny or even watachable. He is fucking attrcious to watch and an arrogant egocentral jackass. His ego knows no bounds as he never likes constructive citicism, only praise. This Elitist fuck even started selling his playmats until WPM decided to close his topic for being a sellout fuck (it was reopened again though). He also whores himself on SixPrizes.com and Stop2Shop. He has a fetish for Kingdra.
Empoleon18 has made video that pretty much sums up him up: A bad AVGN of the TCG. He also makes horrible music.
Now back to the Game Related ridiculousness:
This girl is pretty much a rabid 4th gen hater. She deeply hates 4th gen with a passion for reasons I don't want to even look on about. Not much else to say about her, then again I don't really want to cover her. She also seems to defend, yet criticize 5th gen. Her opinions are toxic-like and I believe they may make me sick. She even had a weird Hypno in a drag avatar at once and it looked freaky. She also hates the music of HGSS but loves the GB Sounds piece of shit music.
There is another rabid 4th gen hater, Fire_Master, who I also don't feel like touching with a 10 ft fork. This guy is also a hypocrite for saying how 4th Gen sucks yet has "Been with the franchise since the start and loving every minute of it." on his signature. If this guy is loving every minute of it, then why does he declare the 4th generation as a shipwreck? What contradictory incosistent shit is this? What a ridiculous 5th fanfuck.
Like Undaunted, Generation IV seems to be hated on a lot, especially on PokeBeach. Apparently having many improved evolutions, a refined physical/special, many awesome new pokemon (Garchomp, Lucario Abomasnow, Skuntank, ect.), VS Recorder (Platinum/HG/SS), online play, PokeEtch, GSC Remakes, and tons of more awesome additions is either bad or not good enough as this amazing era of Pokemon is easily the most epic generation to date. People like the above pretty much have to scrape down and find reason to hate D/P/Pt (possibly HG/SS). But to certain Fire guy, 5th Gen is perfect. If anything 5th generation is pretty much suck. Tons of Pokemon look so lame and have crappy stats. Many common types are repeated. NO EVOLUTIONARY IMPROVEMENTS LIKE IN THE "HORRIBLE" 4TH GENERATION (I mean why improve crappy Pokemon when you can make more shittier ones like Mamanbo). Unnecessary and poor TM replacements. Crappy moves like Nitro Boost and Ice Breath. Lack of originality. Less impressive events. Oh yeah, you are restricted to having only Pokemon from Isshu only, no familiar favorites here.

And finally the Worst disgrace to the Pokemon fandom, a fucker who is pretty bottom barrel, he is so bad, Satan wouldn't accept him if offered with a soul!
Tyrant Tyranitar
It all started when I posted in a thread about the worst of HGSS. So I gave my 2 cents of 3 of worst fuck ups in HGSS (despite that HGSS rocks).
First was about that shitty minigame called Voltorb Flip which is a Pokemon decorated Minesweeper that fails. You lose enough times in any later level, you get sent back to Level 1, making excrutiangly tedious. You also can no longer buy coins.
Why did TPCi do this? Because Europe's passed a law that bans underage gambling in any form (even video games). The slot machines were always in every Game Corner in every main series Pokemon RPG. They were present in the Japanese HGSS. However, before Platinum was going to Europe, the anti-gambling laws were in effect so the European versions of Platinum were changed to remove interaction with slot machines and coins were given. The Pokemon Company (USA) then became The Pokemon Company International (TPCi), since the overseas localization now covers North America and Europe, they actually decided to make the Coin Case unobtainable and instead replace the slot machines for this attrocity in both American and European copies. It's understanable in Europe, but WHY THE AMERICAN VERSION, TOO?
The next gripe was pretty much the destruction of hands down the best place to accumilate steps (for breeding) in the first 3 generations, the Cerulean/Vermillion Tunnel. They decided to add cones for no reason to render the place, a useless barren waste that does nothing but to obtain the Explosion TM by trading a RageCandyBar. That was bad.
Then finaly, the worst offense: the GB Sounds. The most pointless piece of shit item in all of video games. Pretty much for getting all 16 badges, you get to GameFREAK building in Celadon and one person slaps you in face with this abomination. The GB Sounds is a HORRENDOUS USELESS AND DEPLORABLE ITEM that like Triumphail, just so happens to be OVERRATED TO HELL. It's Key Item that plays music, no, horrible music. The cacophony that the piece of shit produces is what suppossed to the original music from the Gold/Silver/Crystal games. But it's not as faithful to the GSC music as one would think, because if you play the GB Sounds music and the actual GSC music from the Gameboy, you would notice some major differences. Hell some of the GB sounds music are actually 8-bit renditions of songs that are not found in GSC (that also suck). The most faithful song in the GB Sounds is the Kanto Wild Battle.
And even if it was faithful in didn't matter as Gold/Silver/Crystal was the worst soundtrack in a Pokemon game (and I can't believe it's so fucking overrated and popular). The music in GSC is extremely bad and pretty much every track in game is poorly composed and unlistenable. The only reason it's so popular is because 2nd generation is pretty much hailed as the best thing ever by the majority. ANYTHING GSC is the best thing ever, the pokemon, the music, the sprites, the characters, the story, the gameplay, the graphics, the reigon, the anime storyline, the sets that came out at the time, the handheld it was on, the colors of the game, the movies, the toys, and literally anything else that had to with Pokemon around the 2000-2002 era was refered as "the apex of Pokemon". People loved the soundtacks solely because it came from the 2nd generation (people will try to dispute this, but I am too adamant to believe any excuse). Their reasons are purely nostalgic.
Not all the Pokemon in GSC very "epicly amazing" as Sunflora, Msagcargo, Corsola, Ariados, Delibird, Ledian, Noctowl, Bellossom, Quagsire, Dunsparce, Qwilfish, Shuckle, and Stantler all suck; and Aipom, Togetic, Misdreavus, Murkrow, Sneasel, Yanma, Gligar, and Piloswine would also suck had they never got evolutions by the "oh-so-horrible" 4th Generation. The Johto reigon is not all that good because it's short and the Whirl Islands are either a waste or a bitch, depending on version (SoulSilver requires you to go there, which makes SS inferior to HG). And certainly the music not even close to being good, as the composition is abysmal. The music of the original Red/Blue games were better, and so is music from Super Mario Deluxe, Megaman Xtreme 1+2, and even the Pokemon Puzzle and Pinball games. So I know what I'm talking about and not bashing GSC for having GBC music. Some of the worst songs in the game are Dragon's Den, Surfing, Tin Tower, Dark Cave, and the Team Rocket Themes. The music is so bad, it proves that nostalgia is a powerful blindling light.
Some of the songs that were remade in HGSS still suck (Dragon's Den and Dark Cave), but at least the entire soundtrack no longer sucks. With the default music on, the GBS is pretty much useless, but since it makes reverts the musical errors of the original it make it a worse item than Goldeen in Melee/Brawl, the spell AMUT from Final Fantasy, the feather from Milon's Secret Castle, and the cloak of Darkness from Wizards & Warriors. It's like an optional Poison Mushroom, but without any challenhe factor. If you are going to use the item, might as well mute your DS, or just do that and never even pick that shit up.Long story short, I made a post in a certain topic about my opinions of the worst things about HGSS, which are the Voltorb Flip, the Cerulean/Vermillion Tunnel, and the GB Sounds.
This a very long tangenty backstory, for those interested on reading this:

There were some disagreements, but what sets TyrantTyranitar from the others? Unlike vaporchu8, Delta, and Rotom479, this guy was a fucking asshole with his opinion. I retorted by jokingly saying I must exist in another dimension. TT got butthurt from that and decided to take that comment seriously like I wanted to offend him. What's even worse is that he consistently and repeatedly is stating how the GB Sounds is amazing and flawless as a fact, as well as sacreligous against the improved HGSS music, always stating how bad it is, again as fact. Apparently horribly done GBC music is far better than improved DS music, talk about some weird, fucked up, backwards logic here. It's like saying that nails on a chalkboard is better than Final Fantasy 6 music. I cannot even properly decide the logic behing TT's fucking opinions, he must have been hit deeply with the nostalgia bug.
TT kept being an asshole in his responses and reported me, like I care. A 40% warning on PokeBeach is fucking nothing. I told him that I will never read anything from that piece of shit of a human being ever again.
TT is the one despicable disgrace of a Pokemon fan and pretty much the one ugly fan that you don't want to associate with. He is more rabid than a Twitard. He is to Pokemon as Diabloking15 is to Sonic the Hedgehog (only TT never detailed any desire to murder a specific infant, but he is still just as sane as Diabloking). This guy just makes me want to hate the original GSC games and call them fucking horrible. Not to mention he is pretty much being trashing Go Inchose and Junichi Masuda and their work.
But you know what's even more fucked up? As everyone else keeps their rabid bullshit on PokeBeach (or other Pokemon TCG sites),
All of Super Mario Galaxy 2
Pokemon Black & White
Super Mario RPG (he even bashed the Forest song)
Pokemon Ruby/Saphhire/Emerald
He trolled TimmyTurnersDad and starly396 as well as other music channels on YouTube. He is subscribed to Shakira and the Jonas Brothers (as well as TheJWittz), and has the infamous Back to the Future NES song in his favorites. Pretty much confirms more of his backwards logical opinions. He even made an abysmal video on his lust of the GBS. What a pathetic piece of shit. We even battled on YouTube, I blocked his ass and destroyed his arguments as he got more butthurt. I also posed a question asking if he could do better than GameFreak at composing music and he has yet to answer. Thankfully he got tons of heat from his trolling. What a piece of shit of a person. Hope he gets AIDS.
People like DarkPkmnTrainer, ogreray, and ~Absol+Gallade~ can be real ridiculous people, but compared to TyrantTyranitar, they are fucking awesome.

Just great, ANOTHER box suggestion thread on PokeBeach
Brilliant.
http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=88109&pid=1725618
I just posted a suggestion to a set that is not overly hated like SV, RR, AR, UL, and UD. Watch this get bashed again by DarkPkmnTrainer/ogreray/dragonpulse20/Hikikomori-san and then get filled by Triumphail billboarding.
How the thread is gonna go after my post:
~TRIUMPHAIL
~No, HGSS is NOT a good box to buy TRIUMPHAIL IS BETTER
~TRIUMPHAIL
~TRIUMPHAIL
~TRIUMPHAIL
~TRIUMPHAIL
~TRIUMPHAIL
~DO NOT GET HGSS GET TRIUMPHAIL INSTEAD.
~TRIUMPHAIL

~TRIUMPHAIL, HGSS SUCKS
Because GOD FORBID, another set is chosen instead of Triumphail. I mean, why buy a set worth buying when you can get a 6/105 good card ratio set. Seriously, why is shit like this always get treated like a competitive contest! SHEESH!
Fuck Triumphail. Next blog will be about the other assholes of PokeBeach. Pieces of shit like TheDarkLucario and TyrantTyranitar.
EDIT: It did not go like that. The Topic Creator ordered Truimphail. I don't give a shit because if anybody wants to waste $85+ on a poor box, that's fine. They are the ones who will regret it in the end (I LOVE IT when I'm right). I know I won't fall for that shit.

Debunking Truimphail Supporters
Pokebeach is home to 2 kinds of people: Overcritical Asshole jerks who bash a card or set for not being overpowered or not having tons of such cards, respectively; and groupthinkers, who pretty much go with the popular opinion to fit in the conformity and not be attacked, as the PokeBeach community is very much against people who are not conformists. To prove this, check out this particular page of a topic: I pretty much stated my opinion on that grass monkey, Yanppu. Some inbred asshole, TheDarkLucario got butthurt and said that "you deserve to be punched in the face". Another such loser, Gleafeon pretty much agreed. My response was deleted (with no Warning starngely) This is an example of the community forcing its conformity on you.
Overcritical Assholes pretty much have ridiculous standards to judge cards for tournament play. Take Espeon Prime and Houndoom Prime for example. Espeon Prime has a Poke-Body that uses other Eeveelution's attacks and Houndoom Prime can do at least 70-100 damage with 3 energies (depending on energy). Both cards are panned harshly because they would not exactly be popular to use in tournaments and they do not do much. Espeon is pretty much looked at as horrible because there is nothing extremely powerful that a Eeveelution can use. Houndoom is looked as horrible because the attack is too costly and it's Power (which can burn) is flippy. They have no sense of novelty or mercy, it's not enough to have niche unique ability anymore; the card has to be extremely good, like Luxray GL Lv X and not be countered easily to be any good. Likewise, if the set does not have many cards that fit their judgings, the set is bad. In fact, Rising Rivals (a set WITH Luxray Gl Lv X, Flygon Lv X, Flygon, Infernape 4 Lv X, Lucian's Assignment and many other good cards) happens to bad set according to them. And yet, Triumphail just so happens to just right for them. What biased fuckers.
Conformist Groupthinkers are the better of the two as they are not bad or hateful as the asinine critics, BUT follow their steps. They pretty much suck up their opinions and in efforts to fit in and not be looked at as an asshole. Some groupthinkers actually develop INTO Critical Assholes from copying the mannerisms and trying harder to fit in. However, there are actual people who are conformists, who do not treat certain sets/cards with contempt and post repectfully (such as Meaty, minimidget, and Vulpix Yolk). Those are few and far between, given the huge amount of uneeeded animosity every set gets for not being perfect or pre-meditately loved.
I have come to these conclussions after making observations on how PokeBeach's people act. This behaviour is also on PokeGym, so its seems to be shared on pretty much every Pokemon TCG community. Strangely enough PrimetimePokemon's seems to not have these opinions, but given that he is mainly a collector and these opinions are synonymous with serious Pokemon players.
However, it's not just the TCG that have these kinds of people, but also the Games as well. As there is a huge anti-4th gen movement going on where Tarazuma and Fire_Master have huge (possibily unreasonable) tirades about how 4th gen is horrible. TyrantTyranitar and Tarazuma pretty much hate Pokemon Music that is not chiptune (the former being extremely obnoxious about it). And some serious 5th gen fanboyism with the aformentioned fanboys who flame on people for not liking Yanappu.
For now, I will focus on the Triumphail fanboys. The biggest reason why Triumphail just is Epic Fail of Pokemon TCG, the hype. I'll start with the worst offender:
DarkPkmnTrainer
"I also recommend HS Triumphant. You're probably going to get at least one of the hyped Primes (Mew, Gengar, Machamp), and many of the hyped UC in this set (Lost World, Hunter, Twins, etc).
If he wants Gengar X, just save up like $15 and buy one. The chances of finding a Gengar X in a box are small, since each box has like 2-3 Lv Xs, it may not be in there, and short of Expert Belt and Spiritomb, there's not much else in that set. "
Likewise, I could get those Trainers and the hyped Primes as singles if I wanted to. But from here it gets A LOT worse.
"Most cards listed from Undaunted are either not useful, or just collector's items. It's probably the worst, or 2nd worst Legend set.
The only cards worth it from UD are:
Scizor Prime
Vileplume
Drifblim
Energy Exchanger
No other cards you listed are actively seen in major decks (outside of energies)"
This is a response to my post that says that Triumphail may be too overhyped and that I feel Undaunted is better. This bitch pretty much shoots that down like if the whole world would be fucked up if someone buys Undaunted over Truimphail. I just love how she lists 4 cards AND then says outside of energies. That last line Illustrates my point about Overcritical Assholes only liking cards that are popular for tournament play. THIS PROVES IT.
And for Undaunted being the "worst" Legend set? No. Triumphail will be that. WHY? Because of the fucking HYPE. Because the set offers very little. Unleashed and Undaunted did not have this huge hype (in fact the latter was hated from the start and the prerelease was trolled, while the former was attacked by douchebags: TheJWittz and Gliscor). Let's see how many amazing cards the LEGEND sets have:

Triumphail is by far the worst.
"Trumphant over Platinum is my opinion.
No way to Undaunted. Only 1 prime is good and the rest are awful. Triumphant has at least 2 very playable primes, as well as others that will probably see some use, like Machamp. And Hunter!
Platinum's not a bad choice either if you want the trainers/stadiums it offers. But I rather have the new stuff personally. "
If you want to go all the way, let's say Truimphail over everything, including Dragon Frontiers and Neo Destiny.
Correction= 4 Undaunted Primes are good. Some in Japanese are worth A TON. Triumphail will have 3 Playable Primes, 1 OK one and 4 shit ones, as well as tons of worthless cards.
I just love how she is campaiging heavily to get someone to buy Triumphail. DarkPkmnTrainer is just a fucking rabid Truimphail mark.
Overcritical Assholes pretty much have ridiculous standards to judge cards for tournament play. Take Espeon Prime and Houndoom Prime for example. Espeon Prime has a Poke-Body that uses other Eeveelution's attacks and Houndoom Prime can do at least 70-100 damage with 3 energies (depending on energy). Both cards are panned harshly because they would not exactly be popular to use in tournaments and they do not do much. Espeon is pretty much looked at as horrible because there is nothing extremely powerful that a Eeveelution can use. Houndoom is looked as horrible because the attack is too costly and it's Power (which can burn) is flippy. They have no sense of novelty or mercy, it's not enough to have niche unique ability anymore; the card has to be extremely good, like Luxray GL Lv X and not be countered easily to be any good. Likewise, if the set does not have many cards that fit their judgings, the set is bad.

"Triuphant is WAY better. It has Hunter, Mew Prime, Gengar Prime, and Machamp Prime, and LOST WORLD!! It will be in the set, it said stadiums. There is only 2 lost world and Indigo Plateao.Mew Prime will be worth like $100.00, Genagr Prime will be worth like$75.00. Ans lost world will get banned right away, so it will be worth like $20.00. Hunter will be worth like $10.00-$20.00. Triumphant is WAY BETTER!! "
This boy is 12 years old and that is evident by his occonsional CAPS and ridiculous estimations. His Prices were so off that others actually corrected him in that the Primes will be around $25 rather than the 75/100 price ranges will pulled from his ass. Again, like DarkPKMNTrainer, another Truimphail mark.
"Get Triumphant. DON'T get Undaunted. It isn't worth the money. Platinum is good, but is over $100.00, and is nothing but SP. It is also going to get rotated. "
This is an opinion of a 12 year old kid who happens to be Truimphant mark and he is telling you that Truimphant is must get and Undaunted is bad. This boy is too impresionable to trust, his opinion is not credible at all. In fact, he is pretty much going by fad. He also does not back up his argument on Undaunted. Pathetic.
"And a lot of the cards in Triumphant are Rogue-able.
Marowak/Cubone, Victreebel, Magmortar (deck destruction?), Electrivire (I suppose?), etc etc...
I'll have a lot of fun playing the Rogue-able cards. I mean, FINALLY! PLAYABLE RARES! *cough SV AR RR HGSS UL UD... cough* "
Marowak/Cubone, Victreebel, Magmortar (deck destruction?), Electrivire (I suppose?), etc etc...
I'll have a lot of fun playing the Rogue-able cards. I mean, FINALLY! PLAYABLE RARES! *cough SV AR RR HGSS UL UD... cough* "
1)40 HP is too low for Cubone to wall and Dialga G Lv X negates the body, leaving you with a exposed 40HP that can be KO'd.
2)Victreebel is not that good. It's a Stage 2 that can be dispatched easily by Blaziken FB Lv X.
3)Magmortar's deck destruction is ruined by a tails that discard all cards.
4)Donphan weak and countered by Shaymin and Lucian's Assignment
5) Arcanine RR, Darkrai G, Flygon, Mismagius GL Lv X, Infernape 4 Lv X, Gallade 4 Lv X, Absol G Lv X, Blaziken FB Lv X, Charizard AR, Gengar Lv X, Cursegar, Salamence Lv X, Ampharos Prime, Donphan Prime, Feraligatr Prime, Typhlosion Prime, Ursaring Prime, Steelix Prime, Torterra UL, Crobat Prime, Tyranitar Prime, Kingdra Prime, Metagross UL, Ninetales HGSS, Scizor Prime, and Kyogre/Groudon LEGEND would all like a word with you.
~Absol+Gallade~
~Absol+Gallade~
"Whatever you do, I would NOT buy Supreme Victors or Arceus. They have tons of bad rares and are definitely not box worthy. If you are looking for staple cards, buy HS. If you really, really, really want Luxray GL LV.X or Flygon LV.X (not that there's much chance anyway...), buy RR. If you want some really great cards, like Gengar Prime, buy Triumphant. I am personally going to buy Triumphant, because of all the great Primes and other cards with potential. "
This guy must have a deep hatred towards Arceus, Supreme Victors, and Rising Rivals (I've seen him act very negatively towards that set, too). He always complains so much about those sets, it's quite annoying. And I love how he just so happens to be on the Triumphant bandwagon.
I'd rather buy a pack of those 3 sets over a box of Triumphail any day of the week.
"DO NOT GET UNDAUNTED.
the primes are not worth anything at all
wait for triumphant. trust me and the many others who posted above "
the primes are not worth anything at all
wait for triumphant. trust me and the many others who posted above "
ZOMG! DON'T GET UNDAUNTED! THE FATE OF THE WORLD DEPENDS ON IT!!!!!!!1111111111 Get Truimphail instead.
It's posts like these that makes me actually want to buy Triumphail box or entire set, just to set this whole thing on fire and record it. Fuck ogeray and fuck Triumphail. And Scizor Prime rocks.
"new stuff is generally worth more also, and more tradeable as more people are looking for it
also, rescue energy will be worth quite an amount as will hunter, blackbelt, twins, and lotsof other cards in triumphant "
also, rescue energy will be worth quite an amount as will hunter, blackbelt, twins, and lotsof other cards in triumphant "
More Triumphail billboarding. How much is he getting paid?
"Unfortunately, Undaunted isn't good. (Sorry Espeons!) I'd go Triumphant because of the hype in the cards. Everyone's mentioned Gengar Prime and Lost World, but I'd also select Triumphant because your other choices aren't as good. Rising Rivals is risky. Chances are low when you hope to get a Luxray GL LV.X. Supreme Victors has about ten cards that are playable. Nothing's great in PA except for Gengar LV.X, Expert Belt, the Cursegar and Spiritomb. (Maybe the Arceus are fine too.)"
Let's see: Going out of your way to bash Undaunted despite it having your favorite pokemon and actually siding with the overwhelming hype of Triumphail? That certainly is not a conformity statement at all.
I wonder if I buy Undaunted and never get Triumphail, will the world end? Will I prevent a large scale beneficial happening for humanity? No. I will just give TPCi the same amount of money if I bought Triumphail, I will just have better cards.

Bottom 5 Worst Pokemon TCG Sets Ever Made
The Pokemon Company has released the original Base Set cards and 45 other expansions throughout the 14 years of the franchise. Many of the sets contained some of the best cards ever made, many of them include Base Set Blastoise, Base set Charizard, Neo Genesis Feraligatr, Gym Challenge Blaine's Arcanine, Unleashed Ursaring (Prime), Undaunted Vileplume, FireRed & LeafGreen Pidgeot, Base Set Gust of Wind, Rising Rivals Luxray GL Lv X, and Secret Wonders Magmortar to name a few.
However, there exists a handful of sets that were overhyped, only to come up short (Legends Awakened) or that have barely any worthwhile cards in it (Team Rocket). There are some sets that are good but are riddled with bad rares (Neo Genesis, Supreme Victors). These following sets are the most abysmal collections of cards ever complied. Sets never worth buying packs of, sets with tons of crap and very little good. These sets are fucking awful.
THIS LIST IS MY OPINION AND NOT FACT!
5.
The lineup of this set is very weak. It centers around Leafeon and Glaceon, just two Eeveelutions with not much else. Unfortunately, this set was the result of a set split of the Japanese set, Moonlit Pursuit/Dawn Dash. Because the Pokemon Company wanted to wait a while to try to fit the TCG closer with the (really horrible and unwatchable) Pokemon Anime Movies, they decided to cut the set in half. The other half was Great Encounters which had all the amazing cards like Claydol and Unown G, and all the nice legendary Level X cards. Majestic Dawn was left with pretty much next to nothing in terms of epicness and worthwhile cards, along with some other cards to be translated that also were little of importance.

Majestic Dawn was left with pretty much next to nothing in terms of epicness and worthwhile cards, along with some other cards to be translated that also were little of importance.
This set is nearly devoid of any notable cards whatsoever. Many of the art (which some from the Entry Packs) are mundane in design (Torterra and Raichu, I’m looking at you). Many of those also have forgettable rudimentary attacks like Thunderbolt and Earthquake. Then there is Mom’s Kindness, which is just a Supporter version Bill (that Bill would also be reprinted and be identical to MK, ironically), which is just a slap in the face when they were better cards like Felicity’s Drawing. To MD’s defense, there is that Mewtwo card is really good, a somewhat nice Infernape, and best of all Leafeon Lv X and Garchomp Lv X, which are pretty nice cards.
In the end, Majestic Dawn was just a leftover set more or less. Kind of like an splicing experiment gone wrong and they abandoned it as a standalone thing. Had PUSA/TPCi had done far better management, this set would have not existed and instead the cards would be part of something bigger.
4.
Out of all the new kinds of pokemon variations to come out over the years, the most ridiculous was Delta Species. The Delta Species are pretty much pokemon that are retyped into different types. At first, the some of the pokemon would have an added Metal type onto them (i.e. a Metal/Grass Beedrill) but other would not make sense at all (Electric/Metal Dragonite, Electric/Metal Rayquaza, Fire/Metal Mewtwo, Fire/Metal Salamence, Fire/Metal Tyranitar, WTF?).
It seems that many of them seem to based off their color or whatever, but not all of them follow this trend. The Delta Species would remain for the rest of third generation of the TCG up until the penultimate EX set, Dragon Frontiers (the only set that the Delta Species were absent was Legend Maker). All those other sets made less and less sense with their weird nonsensical experimental type changes that had nothing to do with the games (Fighting Meganium, Psychic Typhlosion, and Lightning Feraligatr? explain that shit to me?). But at least they had better cards like Gyarados * delta which made sense, and Holon’s Castform.
Fortunately, the set introduced the semi useful Holon Pokemon that supply energy, thankfully. The set also had some nice shiny star pokemon of their own (the weather trio). So not all is bad here.
3.
I had no choice but to add ALL 3 e-reader sets, because of how much they suck. The sets were too GIGANTIC! 165-186 card sets! 72-82 possible rares! This set is too long, you can buy a box of those and still have around 45 rares left to get if you collect. And the booster pack is reduced to 9 cards at the time of Expedition, too.
Expedition had too much of too much. All 1st and 2nd gen starters, repeated twice. Tons of 3 stage lines. Tons of a lot of things. Not to mention there were cards like Kingler and Skarmory that were flippy as rares AND rare holos. This set also had some horrible e-reader connectivity that had stupid games or whatever from the Dot codes. What a horrible waste of a set.
The same can be said about Aquapolis. It was a mess and many MANY cards were unplayable like with Expedition. But at least it had Crystal pokemon, but they were all bad anyway.
Skyridge was the last set that was released by Wizards of the Coast before they lost the lincese to the Pokemon Company. The set also had gigantic card cord and was way too cluttered. But this time, they had better Crystal Pokemon, but despite that, it still was a bad set anyway and from here on out, it got better.
2.
The absolute most pointless wastes of sets I’ve ever known. Pretty much all these things are, just some poorly made idea to create mini sets of promo cards, where the booster didn’t have guaranteed rares. Everything about these sets is pretty much a TEASE. Every pack contains 2 cards (they later added a filler energy to make it to 3 for shits and giggles) and most of the time you will pull 2 commons out of those packs. These pieces of shit are so worthless, it makes me sick.
And not to mention, they would have the GALL to add in ultra-rares, for further teasing.
-The first PoP had 2 lame useless excards, and some interesting rares that amounted to nothing.
-The second PoP had Celebi ex, which was better than the ex’s before, but good luck pulling that from a PoP pack! The rares were uninteresting and bland.
-The third PoP had reprint Ho-Oh ex from UF that and some Eeveelutions.
-The fourth PoP had reprint Deoxys ex from Emerald and some Flygon.
-The fifth set had not one, but TWO * Pokemon, Espeon and Umbreon, that looked really nice. Too bad you have dig out from mountains of packs to get one! Not to mention how good they looked which means you had to shell out money out of your ass to those cards. FUCK YOU, Pokemon USA! Goods thing they did not fuck with the Primes and put them on Undaunted.
The rest of the sets had shit that were either reprints, or cards nobody gave a shit about. Not mention the rares (not ultra-rares) get holo treatment so that shows how much those are worth. Bottom Line: PoP are a fucking waste.
1.
What could worse than a pointless series of mini sets? Let’s see what worse:
As of time of writing, this set has yet to be released. But I know that the set will comprise of cards from the disappointing Clash at the Summit and the small Lost Link set, both Japan. The set will have 102 not counting any shiny secret rare cards, which means some cards will be left out (as the total is around 120, so possibly 18 can be ommited). And the way I see it, the set will not be good. There are a grand total of 6 good cards out of 102. That is worse than Delta Species and Majestic Dawn from above. Here are the 6 good cards from the set:
-Machamp Prime (a powerful card to use, even though Mewtwo Lv X can counter it)
-Magnezone Prime (a Claydol replacement)
-Gengar Prime (a potential devastating card)
-Golduck (can self heal and power up)
-Bronzong (brings out the Legend set from the deck)
-Rescue Energy (self explanatory)
There is one card that is recieving tons of hype called Lost World. This card is Stadium card that adds a additional victory condition when 6 pokemon are in the Lost World. This card sounds good but there have been rumors that this card may get "banned" or excluded.
If the card is ommited, then that is one hyped up card NOT in the set.
If the card is NOT ommited, then game will be overcentralized on sending pokemon to the Lost World, rather than KO's and 90% of the decks will contain Lost World, Gengar Prime, and Hunter. This will break the game and will have a strong central inbalance if not banned.
So either way the card is bad (not unplayable bad, but broken bad). It may not make the cut or if it does it can monopolize the Pokemon TCG into Lost World.
Celebi and Mew Primes have interesting powers/bodies/attacks, but their HP is very low, even for a basic Prime.
Absol Prime has better HP, but that card is not that good anyway. High Damage for gutting a card to the Lost World. Not worthy.
Electrode Prime can KO itself for possible energy attachings, but it's too risky to give your opponent a prize, though. Even to use Twins. Not to mention you may be pwned by Sablelock after Twins.
Yanmega Prime is an OK card. It can do 70 damage with no energy BUT you must have the same amount of cards in your hands as your opponent. That would not be so bad as you can attack for high as the use of Judge or Copycat, but when you are not using your cards, you have to play extra carefully and may do sacrifices that hurt you in the long run (i.e. using a trainer to no or minimal effect only to not have it when needed). Imagine if you have 5 cards after a draw: 2 energy, 2 supporters and a irrelevant evolution, while your opponent has 2 cards. You can only trim your hand to 3. Reverse the amount roles and unless you have a card to help you out (Judge, Copycat, or a card draw for more), you are fucked. But all that aside, you think this card will amount to anything, think again. Yanmega is a grass (well, Bug/Flying but Bug is represented by Grass in TCG), Jumpluff's popularity is dying quick and being harshfully panned as "inferior" to Charizard AR. If Jumpluff is being bashed like this, what makes you think Yanmega can do any better? That Body as stated earlier can only do so much, this is not like Gyarados SF which can constantly do 30-90 energyless.
Electivire is another hyped card, it can damage 50 to everyone with an Energy, but being weak to Donphan and with Lucian's Assignment of Shaymin, that can be countered with no problem. If Ursaring Prime's usage is low from being Donphan weak, how will Electivire do?
The Magmortar card in Triumphant is pretty much a slap to the face to that awesome fire-type. Unleashed Magmortar can damage better and is good with Delcatty PT. Supreme Victors Magmortar can be good with Leafeon UD. Secret Wonders Magmortar is one of the best cards ever made. And MT Magmortar is a decent card with Magby. Triumphant Magmortar just can discard from the oppoent's deck with energies, which would not be bad, but it's flippy discarding ruins the deal. 60 for 3 is bad.
-Victreebel is mediocre. A Stage 2 that can trap and do 30 damage for 2, heal, and inflict status conditions. Blaziken FB X destroys it in one hit.
-Rapidash is just lame, 3 for 50, sucks.
-Kricketune is flippy
-Mamoswine is too costly to use
-Wailord is also a terrible card
-Nidoqueen's OK, but a Stage 2 draw power 30 for 1 attack is strange and unorthdox. Magnezone Prime is better.
-Non-Prime Celebi is relatively useless
-Grumpig sucks
-Machamp is OK
-Nidoking is costly
-Cubone's HP is not good enough for a wall (can be shut down by Dialga G X), Marowak is too situational and flippy.
-Lunatone and Solrock does not even do much together this time around.
-Drapion is just like Torterra UL, only without healing and lower HP.
-Sharpedo is a novelty
-Aggron is also a novelty
-Pidgeot is not much compared to FRLG Pidgeot
-Lickilicky sucks
-Ditto restricts, but also wastes a slot your bench, too and can be sniped.
-Ambipom is nothing worthwhile
-Porygon-Z needs Rainbow Energy to not suffer conditions/damage. Not good. Ursaring Prime is better with Rainbow and DCE.
-Twins and Blackbelt are good to use BUT can only be use when losing and not when winning.
-Alph is just a poorman's Here Comes Team Rocket.
-I would talk about the LEGEND but PokemanDanLv45 does the job for me. Although I kinda think Dialga/Palkia LEGEND can devastating, but is slow.
-Dragonite and Altaria are alright but do not stand out as good.
-The majority of the Lost Link have a theme of Lost Zone involvement (hence the name), not many of them are special, except Lucario and Snorlax, which are kinda interesting, but involve heavy sacrifice. Plus a majority of them may be on the chomping block, anyway.
But after walls of text talking bad about Triumphant is, why do I put it at the very bottom when I am merely disappointed by it? I'll tell you why:
It's because Triumphant has the largest amount of hype and fanboys of any set to be released imaginable! People are treating Triumphant as GOD!
I mean there is are topics, repeatably tributing Triumphant on how amazing that set is. And it's much worse than difference of opinions because OTHER SETS were being bashed for the sake of Triumphant. The first topic was a suggestion thread on what box to get and the majority hyped up Triumphant as being a AMAZING set and that the topic creator needs to get one. They were hyping it up so bad, it's like they were paid to do so. And all the other options were being harshly panned to hell, Rising Rivals, Supreme Victors, Arceus, and Undaunted, the latter which got it the worst. Also the other 2 HS sets (original and Unleashed) got bashed, too, as Triumphant is the only good set. Triumphant cannot even handle Neo Discovery, let alone an HGSS set. I even posted there on an alternative on how Triumphant is overhyped and that Undaunted is better. That piece of shit of person, DarkPkmnTrainer dismissed almost all of them as bad, even though Triumphant has further amount of shitty cards and Epseon, Umbreon, Scizor, and Raichu Primes are all better than Mew, Celebi, Absol, and Electrode Primes. The rest of the topic went into DPT and his cohort, ogreray, Hikikomori-san, dragonpulse20, and many others started hyping up triumphant even more and telling umbreon101 to not buying anything especially Undaunted, like if it's the end of the fucking world if Undaunted or any other non-Triumphant set is bought. The only people that were conformists that DID NOT act like a fucking Triumphant fanboy were Vulpix Yolk and minimidget94.
You know what? After this topic, I'd gladly buy a Undaunted box over Triumphant any day of the week. Because it's the better set. Triumphant is the black sheep of the HGSS series and the weakest entry yet. And because of these fanfucks, I will no buy ANY boxes of Triumphant or attend any prereleases of that piece of shit set. These fuckers have sworn off ever buying more than a few packs of this garabage.In fact, I will no longer refer Truimphant by name, instead I will now refer to it as Triumphail. HS Trumphail is a fucking disgrace of a Pokemon set, it's fucking horrible and the faboys can suck my fucking cock. Half the Primes are shit and it's not worth any hype. DO NOT buy a box of that piece of shit set, just spend on single cards and never touch that shit set that only cointains 6 worthwhile cards. I heard that the box will be go up in price, It's already overpriced, given that $85 is too much much for an empty, desolate, overrated set. Arceus, Rival Rivals, Supreme Victors, HGSS, Unleashed, and Undaunted are all far better than Triumphail. As far as I'm concerned, the entire set is just hype and nothing else. Triumphail is pretty The Dark Knight of Pokemon TCG sets and unlike the movie, the set is pretty much failure.
Triumphail sucks and so does the fucking hyping fanboys. Fuck them all.
Next time I will debunk the living shit out these fuckers.
Yanmega Prime is an OK card. It can do 70 damage with no energy BUT you must have the same amount of cards in your hands as your opponent. That would not be so bad as you can attack for high as the use of Judge or Copycat, but when you are not using your cards, you have to play extra carefully and may do sacrifices that hurt you in the long run (i.e. using a trainer to no or minimal effect only to not have it when needed). Imagine if you have 5 cards after a draw: 2 energy, 2 supporters and a irrelevant evolution, while your opponent has 2 cards. You can only trim your hand to 3. Reverse the amount roles and unless you have a card to help you out (Judge, Copycat, or a card draw for more), you are fucked. But all that aside, you think this card will amount to anything, think again. Yanmega is a grass (well, Bug/Flying but Bug is represented by Grass in TCG), Jumpluff's popularity is dying quick and being harshfully panned as "inferior" to Charizard AR. If Jumpluff is being bashed like this, what makes you think Yanmega can do any better? That Body as stated earlier can only do so much, this is not like Gyarados SF which can constantly do 30-90 energyless.
Electivire is another hyped card, it can damage 50 to everyone with an Energy, but being weak to Donphan and with Lucian's Assignment of Shaymin, that can be countered with no problem. If Ursaring Prime's usage is low from being Donphan weak, how will Electivire do?
The Magmortar card in Triumphant is pretty much a slap to the face to that awesome fire-type. Unleashed Magmortar can damage better and is good with Delcatty PT. Supreme Victors Magmortar can be good with Leafeon UD. Secret Wonders Magmortar is one of the best cards ever made. And MT Magmortar is a decent card with Magby. Triumphant Magmortar just can discard from the oppoent's deck with energies, which would not be bad, but it's flippy discarding ruins the deal. 60 for 3 is bad.
-Victreebel is mediocre. A Stage 2 that can trap and do 30 damage for 2, heal, and inflict status conditions. Blaziken FB X destroys it in one hit.
-Rapidash is just lame, 3 for 50, sucks.
-Kricketune is flippy
-Mamoswine is too costly to use
-Wailord is also a terrible card
-Nidoqueen's OK, but a Stage 2 draw power 30 for 1 attack is strange and unorthdox. Magnezone Prime is better.
-Non-Prime Celebi is relatively useless
-Grumpig sucks
-Machamp is OK
-Nidoking is costly
-Cubone's HP is not good enough for a wall (can be shut down by Dialga G X), Marowak is too situational and flippy.
-Lunatone and Solrock does not even do much together this time around.
-Drapion is just like Torterra UL, only without healing and lower HP.
-Sharpedo is a novelty
-Aggron is also a novelty
-Pidgeot is not much compared to FRLG Pidgeot
-Lickilicky sucks
-Ditto restricts, but also wastes a slot your bench, too and can be sniped.
