No. As you also stated, it was written that way to let players know that you could use this form of Evolution acceleration on a player's first turn, unlike its contemporary Evosoda. Now, if you and your group want to handle it differently, Team Compendium isn't going to bring a SWAT team to...

As a point of reference, Wizards of the Coast insisted that all cards were to be played as printed and only issued errata if... y'know, I don't recall if they ever actually issued an errata for anything. It'd have to be something really crazy, considering they didn't issue an errata when...

It might be harder for veteran players, at least of a certain era. That is because a metaruling was that, whatever energy symbol was in the upper right-hand corner of the card (or upper left-hand for really old Energy cards, that's what the Energy card counted as when not in play. It was...

My understanding is that in sets from the last - 10 years? - there are Reverse Holos for the Commons, the Uncommons, the Rares, and the Holographic Rares. Holographic Rares are the "Super Rare" of the Pokémon TCG. There are times when a particular card is available as both a normal Rare and a...

Hence my usual spiel about what I think the game needs... but even I'm tired of repeating myself so I'll just summarize it as "Make sure you identify the true problem." The game right now is... a lot like how it gets every few years. I think the powers-that-be have made some bad calls, but I...

The cancellation was officially announced on March 31, 2020 here. Welcome to PokéBeach. ^^'

With all the major events canceled, it is a bit hard to verify that claim. I remember both being talked up quite a bit before their release outside of Japan... including by myself. The results I expected never materialized, though @jamashawalker seems right about what the decks were missing...

May as well weigh in: Kabu is designed for "gimmick" decks where you're only going to have one Pokémon in play that is incredibly hard to KO. I'd rather build my deck to avoid having just one opening Basic or to avoid having just one Basic prior to using a Supporter on Turn 2 (Player 2's 1st...

Rather than rattle on about something that is best proven through playing the game, I'll just say I disagree. Laser Focus is still a deck worth running, but it definitely isn't as good as the three I mentioned in the post you quoted, and I find it either has a good start or it has a poor one...

In American English, "Made you look" means he was joking: you go to see if they're there, but they aren't. So he... made you look. XP

Are you saying Cynthia isn't good enough? Because your Kabu is a Cynthia plus an added bonus. o_O I wonder if Kabu is too weak, but I just think it should shuffle-and-draw for five, as that seems to be the minimum for solid draw power, and maybe shuffle and draw 10 since it can be very...

Those decks* haven't been dominant in the Theme Format metagame of the PTCGO for a little while. Keep in mind, I speak as someone who thought they were until someone pointed out I wasn't paying attention (or playing enough XP). Last I heard - and what little I've played over the last few...

On the bright side, looks like each includes 2 Metal Saucer and 2 Pokémon Catcher. You don't have the Trainer engine to guarantee you hit at least one Metal Saucer early game for crazy consistency... but it can provide a valuable boost later on. Pokémon Catcher isn't Boss's Orders... but its...

Acro Bike Clay Hapu Ingo & Emmet Jessie & James Milo Oleana Professor's Research Quick Ball TAG TEAM Supporters I left off pre-TEU cards like Mysterious Treasure as - for us - it will likely only be Standard-legal alongside "Mad Party" cards for a very short time, if at all. As Professor's...

Am... am I the only one kind of bothered by Heat [R] Energy? I mean, I know Pokémon doesn't have strict divisions about what Types gain what effects, but it just seems like an HP buff makes more sense for most other Types. Don't believe me?

I'm too busy trying to catch up on other stuff to participate, but since I'm interested in the results, I've been reading this thread. I'm going to risk meddling a bit: @I like pokemon brings up a legitimate concern. If you want your tournament to rely mostly on the honor system, that is...

They just might. It is important to remember things are a mess but not equally messy worldwide... or even nationwide someplace like the U.S.A. Rebel Clash is probably too far along to "freeze" its release, but if they set after it is delayed, I could see it happen... and that would make...

I think that is an overly pessimistic view... or is it overly optimistic, because weren't those businesses already dying before the pandemic? I know comic shops were, and those often double as gaming/hobby shops. As many of these businesses are themselves hobbies, or someone trying to turn a...

How about 30-Card, 2-on-2, or Team Battle? Yeah, they just alter an existing Format and it might be they're dominated by the exact same decks, but these fun Formats used to be established enough that there were actually official rules for them (last published in November of 2017).

Do not assume you'll find a consistent ratio of generic packs to USD; they're two different beasts. You've already allowed that PTCGO players may not be as collection oriented as the general Pokémon customer base. There are many other differences to consider. Just to name a few: Your price...
