Hey, ya'll! I'm showing off Bytes and Knights - Adventure at @bitsummit.bsky.social in Kyoto! Come check out and play on PC, Switch, and even Arduboy! Ask me how you can get some free cards, too. 😉

I'm excited to release this teaser trailer for Bytes and Knights - ADVENTURE! It's a retro TCG RPG for Switch, PC, Arduboy, and PS Vita and maybe more. I'll be in Japan showing it off at @bitsummit.bsky.social on May 24th~25th if you want to play it, early. Stay tuned for more info!

LET'S GOOOOO!!! The Supreme Court in Europe threw out Kevin Comadran's appeal! It's OVER for his scam! Medabots is now in the hands of the rightful owners! Let's hope Imagineer sues him for damages, now! www.imagineer.co.jp/news/article...

I did it! I finished programming the Pokedex for the Arduboy FX! It contains all sorts of details for each of the original 151 Pokemon, including stats, evolutions, abilities, and even footprints. Another cool feature is that you can mark each Pokemon as caught or favorited. 🫡

The opponent didn't show up for the last round. 😒 A little annoyed, but I ended up playing some more with others, including a player from Japan!

Another round, another loss. 😅 I played against a strong Iono/Raging Bolt ex deck.. I wish I had a cooler photo, but despite the close first match, I got wiped out in the second. We ended up playing for fun afterwards and I destroyed him. At least there was some vindication. Lol

Unfortunately, sometimes in the tournaments, the opponent doesn't show up, like this round... 😥 Well, at least it gives me a chance to show off my custom Medabots sleeves and custom Wugtrio play mat!

Second round was against Raging Bolt ex and it was also rough. My starting hands kept being soooo bad. I still had fun, but it was a little frustrating to be slowly knocked out without many cards in hand. Next round will be better!

Every year, there is a rotation that happens in the Pokemon TCG, making older cards unusable in the standard format. This year, an unusually high number of my decks are becoming impossible to use as critical cards rotate out. 😥 So, I wanted to break down each one for you.

The last deck I want to show off is my Steelix/Dodrio deck. This deck is very powerful and can destroy large ex Pokemon, despite being a single prize deck. Retooling this one is possible, adding in Bloodmoon Ursaluna instead of Radiant Charizard, and maybe a few Munkidori. 😵 💫

My most unique deck is my Beedrill deck! Basically, you use Skwovet to get your hand empty and lock the opponent with Beedril's paralyzing attack. After, your hand fills back up with Radiant Venusaur. But, because it is rotating out, this deck is impossible to use anymore. 😥

I also decided to dismantl my Myraidon ex deck. Others have converted it to more of a Tera build, but I think it loses its identity. This deck is pretty technical and was really fun to play against high-level players with. I'll dismantle this one, too. 😅

My favorite deck of all time, Undersea Tunnel Wugtrio, is losing critical draw support (Bibarel), but could possibly be retooled since so many of its cards survive rotation. However, Survival Brace + Cylline/Rosanne's Backup is an absolutely broken combo that cannot be replaced.
