The AI witch-hunt is not going to help, because more and more artists are using AI in their pipeline and they are able to cover it up basically perfectly. There are two reasons these works should be rejected, one objective and one subjective - the objective one is breaking the rules by...

They have printed multiple cards with similarly "crazy" attacks before, all exclusively jumbo and unplayable.

If some of this art turns out to be AI, I am interested about Pokemon's response to it. Unlike in the West, in Asia the usage of AI doesn't seem to be so stigmatized and there are multiple big games that pretty openly use AI in their production pipeline. When used smartly the usage of AI can be...

Once again people complaining that a card isn't so hilariously broken as to match the engines from the G block. Hydrapple ex is basically Gardevoir GX, which was a legitimate deck back in the day. It's stronger not just because of the heal, but because you don't need to load all of your energy...

Still don't get why, instead of nerfing these Stadiums so horribly, they can't just release a "regular" version in a base generation set, or as a promo in some kind of mass-produced product.

It's Oger....

okay now this is epic

Third set in the H-block you say, huh? 👀

No, that's a correlation made up by you. In general, casual players are not interested in "winning at all costs" by copying decks from online sources. There are also creative players, who detest the idea of netdecking as a principle, even if they are quite skilled at the game. There are many...

It really isn't, in fact you don't have to spend minutes each game watching your opponent set up their engine. Energy is just a part of the equation for deck speed - commonly called "tempo". You need damage to progress the game, and you need Energy to power up attacks that do damage. If you have...

The usual amount of players who belong to the hyper-competitive category - they min-max and look up guides - is below 10%. In a PvE game I saw numbers below 5%. Pokemon TCG, being a game focused on PvP, might have these numbers skewed higher (you can look up ranked vs unranked players in some of...

For real? The rules stipulate that you can only attach one Energy card per turn, and that you only draw one card per turn. The latter was overshadowed basically on the game's release day, so nobody really minds. But think about cards in the current Standard that attach multiple, if not infinite...

Even in this extremely "convenient" example you only need to look at the state of Poison and Burn to realize it's not that simple. There is always context for card power - it's the game's rules. Power doesn't affect just raw numbers on cards, but the resources you can get through those cards...

Both Crispin and Power Hourglass mark a very important milestone, where there's viable, universal acceleration for every deck in the format. While none of these cards are "crazy", they're both competitive enough to let most rogue decks catch up. This is massive for the game's health and...

Lots of good cards here, but I'm excited how Crispin is a universal acceleration for any deck. A year ago maybe he would specify "If you control a Tera Pokemon", but here every deck can get a turn ahead, plus an Energy for the next turn.

Whoever drew that full art Bewear understood the assignment.

I rarely care about art, but that watercolor style of Fraxure really makes it look better than its usual depictions. I'm sure if PTCG released a set who's "gimmick" would be all watercolor artwork, I'd get sold out in seconds.

Then don't be, as you've tried nothing but being combative on a topic you don't seem to have much knowledge on. I found that a lot of people who want to argue about the "subjectivity" of design simply want to use it to sneak in their own idea unchallenged - not to mention that entire topic of...

Ignoring the yapping before, Lana is actually a good example since the card right before it - Kieran - uses "your opponent’s Active Pokémon ex or Active Pokémon V". The difference between these cards is - Lana could easily gain a massive amount of power once it's allowed to hit future Rule...

"A" actually would be the most likely, especially if it was a western studio. Clarity is a big part of communicating information and it's not uncommon for players to be confused by "Rule box", especially when it comes to cards like Radiants. The main target for this game are children, after all...
