[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Shiva has 7 dice pool and Nathan has 6.
Here's a couple games for fun:
(2)(3)(6)(1)(4)(3)(4) vs (6)(1)(2)(3)(2)(1)
(5)(2)(2)(5)(2)(5)(3) vs (5)(3)(1)(6)(2)(6)
(4)(1)(1)(6)(6)(5)(5) vs (2)(2)(1)(6)(6)(5)

The starter decks should be effectively equal in power so there's no bonuses.

I may publish a rarity list in a bit, but generally in a typical 3 stage line, it will go common-uncommon-rare (starters) or common-common-uncommon (early route Pokemon). Lapras and Magmar and such are rare. Two stage Pokes like Weezing are common-uncommon or occasionally uncommon-uncommon.

(A rarity list would be great so I don't have to arbitrarily guess!)

Huh.  Yeah, a Fire/Water versus a Grass/Fire ended up being pretty equal in the end...despite having several of the powerful cards that the box only had a single copy of, Nathan ends up losing the 3 duel match overall.  "Heh...guess I have a little practicing to do if I want to get into this at all...well played, Shiva, well played."

It's nice to just relax and play a card game, look at the cards' cool artwork...Nathan probably spends a good portion of that time putting them in card sleeves.  Yeah, he shelled out that extra $100 for the lifetime sleeves coupon thing.  Might as well, right?  He also makes sure to grab an extra one, just in case he decides to cut out that picture of the Skarmory card later.  Might not be tournament legal, but eh.  Still looks reeeaaallly nice.  Definitely must have cost quite a bit to get that picture copied...

...upon finding a table in the Center's lobby, recorded a voice message and sent it to Nathan. It sounded as follows:

"Nathan, could you meet me in the East Pokémon Center lobby? I have something I wish to discuss with you, so please make haste as soon as you can."

Coincidentally, Nathan had been reaching for his pokedex at the time to contact everyone besides Shiva.  He sends Ventus a quick text back.

Alright.  Was planning to get everyone there in the first place since I have something to share, so I guess that works out...means I don't have to send the group message to you since you'll already be there.  See ya in a few.

And to Heart and Valder:

When you guys get a chance, would you mind meeting me in the lobby of the Eastern Pokemon Center.  There's something I want to share with everyone...

Nathan puts his 'dex away.  Looks at Shiva.

"So...yeah...kinda have something I want to share with everyone back at the Center...so...I'd really appreciate it if you didn't run off right away...I know it's late and all, but...*ahem*...anyways, we should probably be heading back to the Center now..."

Well, back to the Center we go since we've had our fun and games with the cards for the time being.
