    Cloud493 brought me here :P
    Hello all, just wondering do you always meetup on tuesdays or is it just for the summer holidays? And does anyone still use their pokewalker? I stopped bothering after mine died but I still kinda wanna get the 100,000 watt course for the sake of completing it 100% :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    Most people play 5th gen these days, might get a few people with heartgold/platinum though.

    Hey Guys

    I was just floating around and I saw this thread and wanted to get in touch. I have read a few posts and see that you guys like to meet up from time to time. Do you guys play TCG, B/W or both?

    I ask because I organize Pokemon events with PMP (Youtube Channel) as AAmazing0 (my youtube channel) and just held one there last week at ArcadeCon. I really should have advertised these events here rather than online. But just wanted to get your guys feedback and hopefully organize a meet up.

    Regards,

    AA

    I still use my Pokéwalker, mostly because it's the only pedometer I have. Plus, the Umbreon I've had in and out of there for the last year and a half is now level 89, and I haven't trained it outside the walker since it was level 23 :D

    I'll happily meet up and play B/W, but I don't go to cons.

    Thanks for replying.

    May I ask why don't you attend cons?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 334 ✭✭jaydoxx


    I kinda figured people had moved on to 5th gen, but after being spoiled by seeing my pokes follow me around in HGSS it's hard to go back to the loneliness of Unova :O

    On topic; Does anybody play Super Pokemon Rumble? I got it for my birthday but barely made a dent in the story, it would be pretty cool to play co-op(if thats even possible?:P)

    Because I'm not big into anime, really. Pokémon, Death Note, Afro Samurai; that's really it. And I don't care enough to pay €20 for what I'd do; go for battling and the possible Brony panels. I know those particular Bronies quite well and see them otherwise, and I can battle online if I need to. I don't see why I'd pay for the privilege :P

    Plus, I quite dislike some of the 'popular' animes, like Bleach, DBZ, any of that. So there's very little else I'd get out of the experience, beyond the opportunity to look down on furries :P (I joke).

    Now if something like BronyCon showed up, I'd be there in ten seconds flat...

    Will the time change in September cause of school adn college and stuff? I can't make any of these :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 360 ✭✭popzmaster


    Will the time change in September cause of school adn college and stuff? I can't make any of these :(

    Yea think it will have to, as even I am returning to education from an eight year absence at this stage. But league will have to cost 3 dollar if we play after 6pm so i was thinking of making it between 6 and 8 depending on what the shop says and that way everyone gets a booster too.

    They should be getting some in when Dragons Exalted is released.

    Also I posted somewhere else that they are getting in new products for us, which I think are going to be Zek/Reshi figure boxes: plastic figurine and four boosters


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,132 ✭✭✭Just Like Heaven


    That sounds groovy and I certainly don't mind a tax in exchange for a booster. Will check back then :cool:

    would you not move it to saturday, at the same time as tuesday?
    ninja edit: i can probably make it the occasional sunday, if it is on sunday. the under fifteen training for me is saturday not sunday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,132 ✭✭✭Just Like Heaven


    This calls for a poll :P I'd rather it was mid week.

    That's what I meant. As opposed to Saturday like.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,132 ✭✭✭Just Like Heaven


    Don't pay attention to my calls for a poll :( Missed out on Medicine by 6 points this morning.

    Fwaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh k.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 360 ✭✭popzmaster


    Okay, so if three people [20% of league playerbase atm] from league,or who would like to attend league, post in the thread asking for a poll, THEN IT SHALL BE DONE!!!

    Me either but then I didn't sit a single exam.

    How's it work these days? You still get 10 or so choices and a number of rounds of offers? If so hang in there. Round 4 is when you start running out of clean underpants.

    Speaking of that, apparently despite me having done the LC six years ago, I was given the extra 25 bonus points for Higher Maths. Takes my total from 440 to 465 - although looking at the points lists, that may have helped me get an offer this round :eek:

    Looking at my course (Environmental Science & Health in DCU), it's gone up from 355 in 2007, to 380 last year, to like 420 this year. I got 385 5 years ago, and I'm going into an M.Sc. in October.

    Points system is bloody stupid yo. What we need is those aptitude tests they promised years ago. Otherwise we'll just end up with more doctors and lawyers with the ability to memorize loads of ****e, but no actual skill in the area.

    Oh look, that's what we have now! Lovely...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,132 ✭✭✭Just Like Heaven


    6 points ?

    Yeah 6, which sounds funny but that's how it works for med cause of those apptitude tests Urizen mentioned.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    We had so many people today lads, we ran out of chairs :D this is the place to be!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 360 ✭✭popzmaster


    Biggest attendance ever yesterday! Dragons EXalted boosters in store hopefully by next week!
    Also double points next week as its the last week of Legend season!
    So next meetup is Tuesday 28th August!
    Exclamation mark!

    Lads, we have to make next week class. If someone would buy the full box of blisters in tesco, and sell individual packs for cheap, great. as well, We need some sort of small tournament for the league. lets say we get 16 players. 16-8-4-2-1 winner gets a few blisters (if anyone will supply these) or a tin. Also, one for the video games, as in the same thing. 16-8-4-2-1. winner gets cards.
    Also, will gamers world be selling booster boxes?
    troll and toad selling base set black and white booster boxes for roughly seventy euro.
    Also, who was the guy on reddit? its yerNeighbourhoodHobo here :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    Good fun there this week lads : D Next meet up will be Tuesday again, but now it's between 6PM - 9PM, same place, same day

    Also, now we will be reverting to the old system(apparently) a fiver to play, and you get a booster pack. Gamersworld charge 3 quid a head to play after 6 anyway, so we're getting a booster for 2 squid each, not bad at all :P

    I also thought it a bit funny, the chap in gamersworld said to us before they got the dragons exalted in, they were worried they wouldn't sell enough to justify buying them. Cobsisering between us we spent about 160 euro on cards in less than 3 hours, fears assuaged ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 241 ✭✭SamIAmNot


    Don't forget, while not an exclusively a Pokémon meet up, on Saturday there is a meet up in town happening for people with a 3DS with maybe a Mario Kart 7 tourney depending on numbers.

    Details are here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 334 ✭✭jaydoxx


    There will definitely be a mario kart tourney, MK7 has download play!:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭elekid


    So the league is at 6pm on Tuesdays now? I might be able to go after work :D

    How much are Gamersworld charging for Dragons Exalted boosters? (if there are any left!)
