...Not a fan. At all. Yeah, the beginning of Sun/Moon was maybe a bit too slow drawpower wise. But between this, Acro Bike, Custom Catcher and Zebstrika... They've overcompensated. Realistically, the "problem" was more than solved with Zoroark GX. (Who itself was probably too good at what it...

Split into categories (Tools, Stadiums, Special Energy, Supporters and regular items), alphabetically in those categories. Tools are seperate mostly down to how many items there are. (And yes, I treat Special Energy the same way I treat Trainers.) Of course, these days, I mostly plan decks out...

Arceus could pair with Unown if they don't care about them both being the same type. (Or they just use a Mind Plate Arceus or something I guess, lol.) Actually, Draco Plate Arceus + Ultra Necrozma could maybe work...

Holy crap. It's been SIX YEARS since we've had both a Nidoking and Nidoqueen in the same set. And 14 since we've had both in the same set share the same type. (Which has only ever happened one other time, two if you count Legendary Collection.) Also, I feel old now that I realize Plasma Freeze...

There's quite likely a Dragon-type Alolan Exeggutor in this set. 2 Dratini, 1 Dragonair, 1 Dragonite would match up with what's typical in other sets anyway.

I don't see why missing the supposedly obvious sarcasm is surprising. It's a decent card. Not super-broken, not garbage. Your comment could have been genuine OR sarcastic, depending on your opinion of the card (which we can't tell, since we're not psychic).

Yes, I guess it is technically possible (with opponent cooperation) to make your opponent take an unlimited number of prize cards. But if you're playing in Unlimited anyway (which, since you mentioned Palkia/Dialga Legend, is likely), it's quite possible to just loop a card like Pluspower or...

My brother had a glitched Ariados in... Silver or Crystal, I forget which. That showed up as a Level 0 pink Tangela in battles. That freaked us out enough to eventually release it. Not sure how it happened, he never had a cheating device, and I don't think the game ever had any other issues.

The tournament itself was lots and lots of Ampharos. (All three of my opponents used it, and I built my deck basically solely around it as well.) Went 2-1. (Lost to a guy that had insanely good pulls tournament-wise. Virizion GX in particular hurt. Though I almost beat him game 3 because he...

I actually liked how the Platinum-era Secrets were done. That being said, it was only 3 per set, not the 10 billion we see here. Given the sheer volume of secret rares here, I'm not expecting a lot of them to appear outside Japan. We might get some as promos, but I can't see them bending over...

...You say that even though the one depicted here is in green clothing, which DOESN'T correspond to the colour of a Tapu. The Chatelaines are interesting. (Assuming all 4 are similarly gimmicky.) Definitely want to mess around with them at some point. Wonder what the other three do.

It's probably 2, Bright Flame's been used on Pokemon such as Turtonator GX before.

Pokemon's had those, too, though. (Night March is very much one until it's fully set up, for example.) And considering how integral search cards are to Pokemon, most decks are solitaire-esque to a degree. (Especially in item-heavy formats.) Realistically, I think my list of what other card...

That Raichu will be terrible. I'd expect it to be something along the lines of if the opponent only has a single prize left. (Despite the fact we have several cards that can attach like 5 energy from the discard.)

The issue with your points is that all of them could just as easily be covered in an actual theme deck. As I said, there's nothing stopping them from having Eevee star on a Theme Deck that's otherwise on the same level as the rest, and I doubt it would sell any less to kids. If the quality of...

My point isn't so much that the fact they're worse is a problem (though it is), it's the fact that there's likely no pay-off for that downgrade aside from maybe a lower pricepoint. Theme Decks already have fairly diverse Pokemon. I don't see this making the decks any more desirable, even for...

I don't see this being good for kids honestly. Sure, little kids care more about the Pokemon than anything else, but I highly doubt these decks will increase the VARIETY of Pokemon, they'll more than likely just be more COPIES of Pokemon, which doesn't do anything but make the decks less...

I think the point of the Prism Star Stadiums is to encourage players to use Stadiums. (Not so they can use the powerful Prism Star ones, but to counter them.) I'm sure towards the end of the Prism Star era, we'll just get a Pokemon with an ability that ditches a Stadium anyway. (Either by...

I don't think "barely" means what you think it does. And I'm not entirely sure what you're actually trying to say here. I will say I'd expect such cards to receive a reprint eventually. It will likely just happen closer to the next rotation. There seems to be better communication internally...

Mega Evolutions are different since they use an entirely different mechanic in the TCG. Similar to why we only get fossils in small bursts every so often. As for specific forms... I don't think there's any great conspiracy for most of them. Pokemon like Basculin and Darmanitan simply aren't...
