We encountered a bug on loading the save file which prevented us from continuing. It's a bug in the vanilla game, too. If your "best hand" is "naneinf," then you can't load that save without it crashing automatically.
I think the energy mechanism seems fairly balanced for Ante 8 games, with the 5 energy limit per pokemon. It's not that easy to get energy cards. You can get pink seals, but like blue seals you won't necessarily get and use a lot of those before ante 8. You can buy pocket packs, but they might not have the energy/items for the pokemon you have. So on balance, I think it makes sense that using one energy increases a pokemon from, say, +8 mult/thing to +12 mult/thing, because if you're lucky you might get a few of those for a pokemon you actually want to keep by the time Ante 8 rolls around. As with several mechanics, the balance stops holding as well in endless, and of course the "unlimited energy" checkbox is very much an invitation for "let me do broken things for fun". (More games should have checkboxes for things like that! Perhaps as rewards.)
1:28:30 I pulled out the calculator, and at the values the two magneton had at the time, it was still better to increase the lower one. For those wondering, we had (12.25+0.5)^3 * 2.5 ~= 5182 vs 12.25^3 * (2.5+0.5) ~= 5515 Edit: That’s x5000 each trigger. It only gets crazier as the video goes on, and is effectively squared as he’s playing on plasma deck.
Maybe you could tell the probability of mew making a negative joker as a percentage. This way the player has the relevant information, but it isn't stated as "1 in x" and thus isn't effected by the bugs. Or maybe that's too confusing?
Personally fully disagree with the proposed mew change. The random chance being manipulatable is a big part of the fun. The far more broken thing was forcing tarot cards you wanted imo, which has been fixed. For the same reason negative skips are bad, the same thing is true for why the mew negative generator isn't broken- the vast majority of hits aren't even remotely useful. Even if you got 100% chance from round 1, it wouldn't be anywhere near the level of other legendary jokers like perkeo or tribulet. Literally in this very run it generated almost nothing useful, outside of duplicate econ jokers only made possible by the showman-lite. The far more lucrative jokers were already in the build and then turned negative via gengar. Even in this broken, unrealistically strong run, the negative generation was bordeline worthless.
Is there a plan to upload the rest of the Pokermon to UA-cam? 👉👈

Aw, bummer

Balala - JokerPoker next
I love it when the fire starts before the second card even finishes scoring 😂❤
It took 24 minutes to start the first round. I'm not even mad, I'm impressed
A game where your decisions matter is FTL. Doc you’d be great at it. I would enjoy seeing your play very much.
1:39:20 was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen, #twobug
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
he's actually getting away with it
He sure can #toobug
#twobug was meant to be
I think maybe we had all editions for like an hour which is why gengar was sleeping, really hard to tell though haha
So who would win, all the Pokermon jokers or a billion lions?
a billion lions don't score anything so u tell me 😌
mewing chicot in the thumbnail, chef's kiss
Great mod btw
doctor professor spectred oak looks so good
i am not biased at all
This is a Scripted Prophecy #2Bug
does invis still skew towards copying a recently bought joker?
Bro clears any 10 minute yapper
1:48 professor manifesting ego no way
I wonder if the ghost deck can offer energy cards in the shop
#TwoBug
real challenge: get all the pokemons!! (at the same time of course)

I think the current solution of additional text reading "This probability cannot be increased" is sufficient imo
