>>57153421>That's disingenuousYou're the one being disingenuous, anon. Misty is only a wincon in 18T Articuno. In everything else, she's a winmore or a cheat. You're just making shit up because you want to argue.
>The same thinking you can use for Misty failing not being an immediate loss is the same with Zapdos, since the card rewards you for investing in it early on anyway with its 1 energy attack, making the bridge to 3 not far off. That's not accurate it all. You're being purposefully retarded. There's no way you believe any bullshit that you're saying. Misty is a zero investment instant win card, that has no downside if you lose. No downside, infinite upside. Putting 3 energy on Zapdos is something that you have to know in advance is something you're going to do. It is guaranteed investment with no guaranteed outcome, and if you attempt it and lose, you pretty much instantly lose the game on the spot. They are not the same at all, and you are being so retarded that it's absolutely something you're doing on purpose.
>Zapdos lets you reach a damage threshold that Pikachu struggles to reach otherwiseThis is what Raichu is for, not really Zapdos. Again, Zapdos is just a 6-18% chance to bail you out of a situation where you've already lost the game. That's the most fair "cheat" in this game, because the Pikachu loses if he misses.
Anyway, I'm tired of this. I'm done replying to you. You're being so purposefully retarded that it's insane. You cannot possibly believe your own bullshit. You're playing devil's advocate and you do not believe anything that you're saying. You just like arguing about nothing.
