    Ruling Super Rod

    I only have 1 of the new Super Rod: But 2 of the old Super Rods: If I used the new Super Rod as a reference, would I be able to use the old Super Rods in a 2011-12 Modified deck? Their effects are vastly different, but the name of the card is the same.

    Ruling Victory Star and Confusion and Other Effects

    Victini's "Victory Star" reads: Once during your turn, after you flip any coins for an attack, you may ignore all effects of those coin flips and begin flipping those coins again. You can't use more than 1 Victory Star Ability each turn. Can "Victory Star" also apply for the coin flip...

    Pokemon 5th-Generation Tomy Plushes

    Hey, does anybody know what's become of the plushes? I remember they planned to release every single Unova Pokémon in the form of a plush. It's quite a difficult task, considering some of the Pokémon have designs really ill-suited for plushes like Klinklang and Reuniclus. But I haven't really...

    No room for nonconformity?

    It's approaching 2 years since I last played in a tournament (placed almost directly in the middle), so I don't know how the competitive scene is like. However, I did notice on here (and other places, like PokéGym, Serebii, and even GameFAQs) that the moment card scans come up, people...

    Discussion Tomokazu Komiya

    He's quite the polarizing artist, isn't he? When I was at a Noble Victories pre-release, I noticed he's back drawing artwork after a quick break at the beginning of the generation. Someone sitting next to me absolutely HATES his artwork (interestingly, she says she's an art major) because his...

    Pokemon Cleaning Pokémon Plushes

    My Blaziken doll is getting pretty dirty from being in the back of my car all the time. Does anyone know the proper way to clean these guys? (I might need to clean the Vanillite one soon too, since it's so white that even the slightest bit of dirt will be visible.)

    BW/BW2 Ragequitting

    There sure are a lot of disconnects from people who are about to lose. It's pretty annoying, and it completely throws off my win-lose record. Most games have a penalty for disconnecting (for Mario Kart Wii, you lose more points than if you had placed last; Team Fortress 2 puts a "RAGEQUIT"...

    Legends Awakened Has Disappeared

    Over the past few weeks, I've noticed that in retail stores, the Legends Awakened packs have practically disappeared. They've vanished from Target, from Wal•Mart, from Toys R Us, and until it went bankrupt, from Kay•Bee Toys. Have people been buying them all? (I'll never get my Uxie at this...

    What's the cheapest place to get a booster box from?

    Barring those seedy sites that sell you bootlegged stuff, anyway... I plan to buy a booster box of Rising Rivals when it becomes available, since I'm getting pumped about that set. I got what I needed from Platinum, but I don't want to be ripped off this time. The cheapest I've ever seen...

    Ruling Power Cancel and Psychic Bind

    Mesprits "Psychic Bind" prevents the use of Poké-Powers when Mesprit is put into play. Can you use Alakazam's Power Cancel in order to prevent the effect of Psychic Bind, or would Psychic Bind's effect take place immediately and prevent the use of Power Cancel?

    Ruling Old Amber and Aerodactyl

    Two loosely related questions here: 1. When I play Marley's Request, can I choose Old Amber, or any other Fossil, as one of the Trainer cards? 2. Aerodactyl's Poké-Body, Primal Claw, places 2 damage counters on a Pokémon upon using a Poké-Power. If my opponent uses Baby Evolution, do the 2...

    Might as Well - Ophie's Art Dump

    I noticed there really aren't a lot of people who draw stuff by hand here. But I guess having been here for several months, I might as well show some of the stuff I've drawn. Most of these probably won't be Pokémon-related, however. I'll begin with the full picture of my Avatar. Her name is...

    Where are the archives?

    I was looked for some older stuff on this site, and I found out there's nothing on the site that would take me to the older stuff posted on the main page. Does anybody know where they are? Or do older news now just fade into nonexistence? And I know some of the stuff has been bumped off the...

    Error Mareep (POP7)

    About a week ago, I opened a POP Series 7 pack and found a Mareep with no credits for the illustrator. Anybody know how often this happens? I've never seen an error like this before.

    Ruling Basic Darkness Energy

    I was looking through the Energy cards one day and I realized--I have no basic Darkness Energy. So I looked around for preconstructed decks, and I have a question: Is the "Endless Night" deck currently the only theme deck that provides Darkness Energy? I have a harder time finding this deck...

    Ruling Celio's Network

    Is this card seriously out of the format after the 2008 World Championships? (And a less serious question: Why does everybody pronounce it "SEE-lee-oh"? Celio is a Spanish and Italian name and thus the proper pronunciation should be "SEH-lee-oh.")

    Ruling Placement of Energy cards on the table

    Earlier today, I remembered something: At one of the prereleases I went to about a year ago, one of the players I went up against insisted that I position my Energy cards so that the tops of the cards would show, the part that reads "Energy." He always got frustrated when I or anyone else he...

    Ruling Stalling

    I have a question about stalling in tournament matches: I see that it's against the rules (which is good), but how is it enforced? Are you supposed to call a judge as soon as you suspect the opponent may be stalling so they can come over and watch to make sure it doesn't happen? There's no way...

    Pokemon Pokémon Sunday

    Has anybody ever heard of this show? It's a program shown on Sunday mornings in Japan. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Pokémon anime, but rather, deals exclusively with the games (mostly video but occasionally card) and movies. Event Pokémon are often given out through this show, most...

    Ruling Xatu - Psychic Shift

    The Xatu from Secret Wonders has a Poké-Power that reads, "Once during your turn, if Xatu is on your Bench, you may choose 1 Special Condition from 1 of your Active Pokémon and remove that Special Condition. Then, 1 of the Defending Pokémon is now affected by that Special Condition you...
