419.5 The definitely not April Fools chapter
<span style="font-weight:400">Alright. Another day means more packs for me to open. Still in search of my Rainbow Dragon and Vennominaga.
<span style="font-weight:400">Those were my thoughts when I woke up, but little did I know, this day wasn’t going to be like that, as when I opened up Pack Opener, something strange was waiting for me.

<span style="font-weight:400">I naturally just went for the Open Packs tab, but that is when things went wrong.

<span style="font-weight:400">“... umm, what?” I muttered aloud. “What the frick is that?”
<span style="font-weight:400">I then quickly hit the Retry button, but again, same error.
<span style="font-weight:400">I tried again and again for what must have been 50 times, before finally something happened.
<table style="border-copse:copse;width:80.3213%;height:161px">

<span style="font-weight:400">“... wow. Almost makes me want to not open any packs at all. … but at the same time, this does kind of feel like a massive lottery. Not only hoping for a good card, but also for a good set.”
<span style="font-weight:400">So with those thoughts, I hit the button.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">Pokemon Base1
<span style="font-weight:400">Fire Energy, Water Energy, Pikachu, Caterpie, Machop, Charmander, Gastly, Dratini, Seel, Ivysaur, Dugtrio
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">… Yeah … That isn’t normal at all. The F is going on? These are Pokemon card. Why did I get Pokemon cards?
<span style="font-weight:400">I mean, I suppose my skill is called ‘Pack Opener’ and not ‘Yu-Gi-Oh! Pack Opener’, but still. It has always just been Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.
<span style="font-weight:400">… Well, whatever. I have a Pikachu, so let’s summon it.
<span style="font-weight:400">I got the card out of the Collection and quickly summoned out my new Pokemon.
<span style="font-weight:400">After ying with my Pikachu a bit, I decided to give my corrupted Pack Opener another go, because honestly speaking, I don’t mind getting a few Pokemon cards. Maybe I can even get a Charizard.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">Magic: The Gathering Limited Edition Alpha
<span style="font-weight:400">Blue Elemental st, Flight, Giant Spider, Gray Ogre, Hurloon Minotaur, Ind, Ivory Cup, Kormus Bell, nowar Elves, Scryb Sprites, Stream of Life, Tranquility, Tsunami, Tunnel, Weakness
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">… okay. I’m not sure if Magic: The Gathering is better or worse than Pokemon. I mean, some of this cards honestly seem super useful.
<span style="font-weight:400">Just think about it. Install Flight for instant ess to the Mana Flight skill. Install Ind for water affinity. Stream of Life for healing, Weakness for weakening opponents. I could even destroy all inds with Tsunami.
<span style="font-weight:400">But still. This is random as anything. First Pokemon, then MTG. What is next? Vanguard Cardfight?
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">Digimon ssic Collection EX-01
<span style="font-weight:400">Devimon, Guardromon, Kurisarimon, Andromon, Angemon, MetalTyrannomon, Ikkakumon, Plesiomon, Garurumon, Rosemon, Imperialdramon Dragon Mode, Fight for Your Pride!
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Nope. Digimon this time. But I do like what I got. I mean, Imperialdramon and Rosemon are both Ultimate level. … or I guess Mega level if you happen to live in America, but I refuse the acknowledge the US dub of Digimon, because it is a joke.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">… But honestly, I think I’ll just stop here. Pack Opener seems to bepletely broken and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if all these non-Yugioh cards will get deleted when it gets its act together. So I think I’ll head outside, y with my Pikachu, ride my Imperialdramon and maybe have a spar with Gray Ogre before these cards disappear.
