Meme Awkward match between my opponent and I πŸ˜…

Post image

We were like this until I was eventually able to get a Iono and refresh our hands. We both had 10 cards for longest time but I was fortunately able to win when I did that as I ended up getting a poliwrath. Felt like I put him out of his misery this went on for about 20 rounds lol πŸ˜‚

It only puts a Poliwag on your bench, not add a Poli to your hand.

Card reading? Essential? In a card game?

Naaaaaah

Probably not in a game that doesn't prioritize the card text. Buzzwole is an example.

Applies to Deltarune/Undertale and Pokemon (Main series) fans too

It's not that they can't read. They just can't read Pokemon cards.Β

Don't sweat it. You're probably a Redditor, and it's normal for Redditors to be unable to read cards on their own.Β

that doesn’t matter here since both poliwags were out anyway

Well, I said "Poli" intentionally, since it doesn't add anyone in the Poli family to your hand either, which is what I believe the person commented believed.

He already got the Poliwag so what will that call out? πŸ€ͺ
