PokeGym fail

Like I said on the Undaunted Review, most of the Pokemon TCG player community are some of the most selfish, ungrateful, avaricious people I have ever seen on the internetg. Which is why sets like the aforementioned Undaunted, Unleashed, Rising Rivals, and Emerging Powers get tons of undeserved hatred. Forget that there are missing children or the unemployment is high, how about Undaunted not having what they want, that is a much worse crime. Give me a fucking break.

Now I am NOT saying everyone needs to love those sets or that it is wrong. It's an opinion not liking those sets and expressing is NOT my problem. My problems are that this is repeated at nozeum and this is exaggerated to higher levels than it should be. Keep in mind what these people are bitching about a set of trading cards without cards they want really bad, expressed as a life changing disaster.

By google searching "Undaunted Unleashed" I found this FAIL of a topic on PokeGym. It's some ass called Prime who complains about the way they handled the sets, as well as attacking the sets harshly.

I posted a comment in another thread a few days ago about my disappointment with Undaunted and I felt like it was poor placement for such a comment. So, I decided I'd make a new thread in an area where the topic could be properly discussed.


Not satisfied by posting the hate there, he decided to make a topic there. Not like it would surface when you Google search out the sets or anything like that.

My message discussed my disappointment with the mixing of promo cards with cards from other sets to produce a brand new set and how moving of cards between sets can have a negative effect on the overall integrity of the sets and on the actual game.

What if people wanted those promos? Do you want PoP series 10? That would horrible. It's better to put it in a set. Not everything has to be specifically catered to you.

which is the smallest Pokemon set since Neo Revelation which was released in October, 2001.

90 cards. That is a TRAVESTY!! Don't see the big deal. That is 24 more cards. Why do people try so hard at criticizing particular shit. It’s like if they don’t like, it’s the worst garbage ever made.

Undaunted is looking like a very poor set, and I think that is because almost all the good cards were pulled out of it and put in Unleashed. Those cards are:

Kingdra Prime
Lanturn Prime
Tyranitar Prime
Steelix Prime
Entei / Raikou Legend
Entei / Suicune Legend
Suicune / Raikou Legend

Imagine how the format would be if none of these cards were legal for Nationals and Worlds because they would have been originally printed in Undaunted. Moving cards from one set to another makes a big impact on the organized play of the game. The Seniors National Champion won his last round thanks to Entei/Raikou Legend.


I see your point that the sets would been better with those cards. The Primes could have been placed better. But how does that make Unleashed a bad set? And what is WRONG with Entei+Raikou LEGEND used for a win? Doesn’t that make the card good, so why is Unleashed a bad set as result other than, it makes Undanuted less impressive. Then again you’re acting as if Undanuted has nothing when in reality, Scizor Prime, the special Metal energies, RDL, KGL, Weavile, Vileplume, and a bunch of otrher cards in Undaunted.

I'd rather they just translate the cards, manufacture them, and try to stay as closely to how japan packages the products as they can. Instead of combining 2 collections together with a bunch of cards from the next set, just release those 2 collections in english and let the next set be exactly what it is in japan.

Otherwise, I will cry like a little bitch over not having cards I want. Seriously, Pokemon Company International! Release the cards exactly how Japan does I’ll make topics about how horrible a bunch of trading cards are, as if it makes a world of difference.

This guy is a college student and he complains like that? I’m a high school dropout and I don’t act like an entitled little teenage girl in her sweet 16. If a set comes out and it does not satisfy me enough (i.e. Emerging Powers and Call of Legends) I don’t throw a hissy fit and declare a horrible set. The reason I attacked Triumphail was mainly because it was hyped as if it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. If Triumphail did not have this monstrous hype, I would see as if it was an unimpressive set and not attack it too harshly or mention it much because complaining about a set of TCG cards is generally stupid. However, if a set is overhyped, I have to be harsh on it.

The rest of the topic is pretty much the rest of the forum blindly agreeing with the topic creator or at least it’s just one page. Don’t have the patience to look through seven pages of the exact same thing really. I see PokeGym (and SixPrizes) to another PokeBeach. Tons of people who complain very easily over minimal trivial stuff that would not impact the world. Again people are free to complain all they want, but when I can easily find stuff like this in through Google without even trying, it makes me very ashamed to be a person who buys Pokemon cards.

And Blogger, stop fucking up this post, k.
