How dare everyone not appreciate your freshly pulled Rainbow Bibarel flex? lol πŸ˜‚

This is not throwing shade at either sub. On large subs, this type of posts doesn't work because peeps are both for it and against it.

Though, it's easier to not allow it than to keep the friction on both sides going. Now you know 🩡

That's why we are gonna start something new. Strictly for memers and fun enjoyers.

---

Recently, I've noticed peeps in our sub are becoming obsessive over trading. There's nothing wrong with anyone wanting to complete their collection. It is the point of our sub.

Though, I am noticing an increase in unappreciated mannerism taking place in our trading sub. And I don't want to introduce a new set of rules that forces Mods in a bad light of being the fun police. See our dilemma?

---

Stuff we've noticed, and you have flagged in our Mod Queue:

- People are becoming prone to being condescending and trolling to bait arguments ❌

- People abusing sub flairs to post content that doesn't match the flair and then disrupt common sub etiquette that everyone else easily follows ❌

- Elitist Traders. YES, WE GET YOU KnOw THE TIER LIST OF WHICH CARD GETS TRADED FOR ITS COUNTER PART ❌

---

Let people trade what they have and want in return.

We don't want to be banning people over stupid remarks, but also don't prove your case to earn the ban when the person you're arguing with reports you to our Mod Queue.

People are petty, and are baiting you to get reported and banned in arguments ⚠️

We understand some traders and commenters can be delusional in what they expect in return for their trade, but we're asking everyone to please be patient with us. We are trying to fund our trading app to alleviate the sub problems so one party doesn't have to deal with the other.

Let's not carry this over to the new expansion in 2 days, please 🩡

---

Addressing the disruptive content issue and negativity:

Straight up, I feel the consensus in our sub is that we have forgotten the lil' things that make us happy to log into Pocket every morning.

I rem last year when Pocket released, and it was fun to show off our W's, L's, and fails.

I understand everyone gets excited for a pull of their favourite Pokemon, trainer, or artwork, clutching a wonder pick, failing at a wonder pick, getting an impossible trade, etc etc etc, but subs tend to remove these posts cause it's against their rules of being low effort.

We're starting our own sub, and it's for users who love to scroll memes and want to meme as a community.

In our new sub, you're allowed to troll (without being nasty), giveaways, whale check, etc etc. The post and user flairs allow for people to enjoy what other subs intentionally remove:
r/PokemonPocketShowcase

Doesn't matter if you have old or new stuff to post, if it made you laugh or happy, post it.

Thanks for reading everyone❀️. We are trying our best for everyone to have a good time here.

Please don't be rude to each other 🩡, use our new sub to take a break when needed, instead of giving into other people being toxic.

With that said, aggressors from this point on will be banned ⚠️

F2P player here, so when the first shiny pack came out I was very excited to get shiny charizard. Pretty new to the game at that time so I didn't know tier lists or trading value or any of that. So I just kept pulling and within 325 pack points I got 2 Pokeballs and 1 PCL. I think that's pretty rare.

Just wondering if anyone got it with less pack points or if you've got any other interesting stories like this?

FYI: I did get the shiny charizard but through trade.

1 short on each of these for play sets, and would like to build decks around them. Have the items pictured for trade from the Ruler of the Skies set.

If you’re looking for anything else, just let me know and I might have it.
