    Spin-Off Pokémon Conquest 2.0 ?

    I would love a Pokemon Conquest 2, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. Nintendo wants to promote the Fire Emblem series now that Awakening has officially re-established the series. When people finish Fates/IF Nintendo wants them to buy the 2nd or 3rd campaign instead of jumping to another...

    7th Gen Ideas!

    The biggest thing I want, even above new Pokemon, is greater accessibility to creating ideal Pokemon teams. Crafting a personalized Pokemon team (or even trying out some ideas you heard of) takes way to long. It's why I enjoy the TCG more. I can put any cards I want into the deck and start...

    Extended Hoopa Movie Trailer (Spoiler: Everyone Dies)

    Looks like the battle scenes are just shooting and dodging energy beams.

    P!P/Rules XY-On Rotation Confirmed for 2016 Season

    No N also means players have to be a bit more careful late game in regards to decking out. N can save a player from decking out, shuffling cards back into the deck to buy enough turns that decking out won't be a factor. Now the lowest you can shuffle draw is 4 off a Birch tails or 5 with Shauna.

    Fun Most Damage Possible

    Damage in between turns like with poison can't be counted because the defending Pokemon will already be knocked out by the time that damage would be calculated.

    P!P/Rules XY-On Rotation Confirmed for 2016 Season

    Speaking of the card set and not the block, it should be KSS-on, not XY-on. They already have a precedent of referring to the card set, such as NXD-on and BCR-on. This kind of urks me. Either call it KSS-on, or rotate KSS and call it XY-on. Even the official standard legal set list shows the...

    No coin flips, no weakness. Stadium: Training Center Prizes Taken: Attacker: 0 Defender: 5 Attacker's Field: Active - M Tyranitar EX with Team Plasma Badge and Dark Claw as tools. - 4 Deoxys EX -Whimsicott BCR Defender's Field: Active - Conkeldurr NVI with 56 Fighting Energy attached and...

    Collecting The Jumbo Card Collection

    My local game/card shop that hosts Pokemon TCG tournaments raffles off goodies to the players pretty much every tournament (great TO). One time the prize was 2 jumbo base set Pikachu cards in jumbo top loaders (one for each player in the pairing). Me and my opponent were 1 number off :(

    Discussion Decks That Become Unviable Post-Rotation?

    Mr. Mime is gone so decks will be more susceptible to spread. There is Mountain Ring, but most decks will probably want to run another stadium and it can easily be bumped/paint rollered before the spread. Keldeo-EX/Float Stone being gone also helps spread decks get Pokemon stuck in the active...

    Suggestions for Shiny Secret Rares

    A shiny Ancient Trait Pokemon would be interesting (non-ex). None have been really predominately played to warrant it except for Δ-Altaria who already had a SR in recent times. Maybe shiny α-Swampert?

    General The Totally Random Interesting Facts Thread

    Piggybacking on The Lion King and also going hand in hand with bbninjas last fact, Disney was heavily influenced by Osamu Tezuka's Kimba the White Lion and never gave the original series any credit. The influence is so heavy there was even a protest/petition against Disney signed by many...

    10 Cards from 'Legendary Holo Collection' Revealed!

    This was inevitable and makes a lot of sense. Some unevolved Pokemon are really popular, why not give them an EX? not to mention Pikachu is the mascot of the entire franchise. And depending on future Pokemon games, we may already have unevolved Pokemon EX. Will this be a perfectly reasonable...

    Which Card(s) Annoy You the Most?

    The name 'Spirit Link' still bugs me. 'Gengar Spirit Link' would have made more sense as 'Gengarite'. If it's because they wanted a universal term, 'Mega Stone' would have been more fitting. Each Mega Stone also looks unique and could have been portrayed in a similar way with the Mega Pokemon in...

    Discussion The Next Staple Supporter-A Replacement for N, Colress?

    In no way a replacement for N/Colress, but maybe Pokemon Fan Club becomes more alluring. It can grab Shaymin EX to make it sort of a 'search and draw' support, Hoopa EX too.

    Which Card(s) Annoy You the Most?

    Team Plasma Lugia EX was good. The drawback of discarding a plasma was very balanced and the card could OHKO almost every Pokemon during it's prime. The new Lugia EX doesn't look like a chump either. If you're a fan of Lugia, you should be happy with the competitiveness of it's EX cards. There...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    They are implementing BREAK into the TCG and EX cards are still in. There is no guarantee they will make a Mega EX for every Mega Pokemon. They got close to making every legendary an EX and then opened the mechanic up to final evolution Pokemon. A year without a Pokemon game will certainly help...

    Which Video Games Deserve to be Featured in Trading Card Games?

    I got a few starter decks and have played a few times. In the few games I played, the game was pretty bad. The matches were not very balanced and the only win condition is to deck your opponent out. There was also a lot of cards that let you randomly grab cards out of your discard pile. Felt odd...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    Because the games themselves are on a 'break'. Sets later in the year will be based on XY: Break because there is no new game for the cards to be based on. Pretty clever.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    I feel that Pokemon Break are the replacements of Ancient Trait Pokemon and will hold the same rarity. Some will be rare, some rare holos, but not up at the same level as Pokemon-EX.

    Ancient Trait Sableye Promo in 'CoroCoro Ichiban'

    This card is a worse version of Manaphy, and that card sees little to no play. Final Wish is arguably better than Theta Block and Manaphy can attach to any pokemon, not just EX. I ran Manaphy a lot in fun decks cause it was a fun flippy energy accelerator, and it's ability was so important to...
