A huge milestone for the largest 1st ed Tentacool collection! ๐ฆ
Don't ask why, but I really love admiring all of my Tentacools in one place. It's very satisfying. Thank you to all of the 1st edition kings and @KabutoKing_ for your support! I'm not doing this to increase the price of the card, in fact I want it to remain as low as possible to collect more, I simply enjoy owning this collection! ๐
I do have hundreds of other cards I've been collecting since the 90's, I just never post them. Moving forward I'll be sharing more of my overall collection as well ๐

Kabuto grail acquired! ๐
This fits in so well with my collection! I'll be passing this card down generations as a family heirloom with my Tentacools. Thank you so much @KabutoKing_ ! ๐ค
Now @PSAcard can I get this slabbed up to keep it safe?

Do you like the Chinese direct translations for the Tentacool line?
Tentacool (็็ๆฐดๆฏ) - Agate Jellyfish
Tentacruel (ๆฏๅบๆฐดๆฏ) - Poison Spike Jellyfish
For more detailed explanation, keep reading below ๐
Tentacool:
So the first part ็็ (mวnวo) means agate - like the actual gemstone. That's referencing the red jewel-looking orbs on Tentacool's head. Then ๆฐดๆฏ (shuวmว) just means jellyfish. So you get "Agate Jellyfish" which is actually kinda beautiful for a Pokรฉmon most people find annoying lol. The Japanese name ใกใใฏใฉใฒ (Menokurage) comes from a shortening of "me no dekai kurage" which means "jellyfish with huge eyes." So Japanese focused on the big eyes, Chinese focused on the gem on its head - completely different vibes for the same Pokรฉmon.
Tentacruel:
ๆฏ (dรบ) means poison, ๅบ (cรฌ) means spike or sting, and ๆฐดๆฏ (shuวmว) is jellyfish again. "Poison Spike Jellyfish." The Japanese name ใใฏใฏใฉใฒ (Dokukurage) is ๆฏ (doku, poison) + ใฏใฉใฒ (kurage, jellyfish) so just "Poison Jellyfish." But Chinese added the ๅบ (spike/sting). Went from a pretty agate jellyfish to a poison spike jellyfish.
Is it AI, or just the result of overhiring in anticipation of several failed Coinbase ventures? The Base wallet is easily one of the worst products Iโve used in crypto in years. On top of that, the breach of over 700k customer records, reportedly due to foreign hires comes across as deflection rather than real accountability ...
@ARCRaidersGame Judging by the comments. I must be the only person that thinks this is ranked one of the top games I've ever played. Love hearing the noobs cry as I take their Bobcats and springs. Same way I love hearing them complain here, see you in Stella. ๐
@ARCRaidersGame Best game ever. Although, can we fix the duck guys? They are nuking the trade economy. Low key tired of seeing people woth 280 inventory slots of purple ducks.
