I used to play Kingdra during the old format and you don't see me crying about rotations.
Darkrai is a deck that needs to get hit already. It has long overstayed its welcome.
No. Just. No.
I'd agree with CSJ for once. The BW-series cards are the source of all evil. BrokeN and stupid HP Basic Pokemon that actually have some worth started in this era. At least Primes were decent.
This entire format is luck based. N just proves it.
Also Blah, tbh.. people kept on saying to "restore the old Rare Candy rule". Restoring that would probably make you auto-lose to Blastoise if it does get up a T1 Blastoise. Costless energy acceleration is just stupid. TPCI/PCL and Konami...
Finally someone who speaks English. I salute you.
CSJ, mind you the Stage 1s and Stage 2s in this format are broken, it's just that the combination of one energy big basics + catcher that are punishing those Stage 2s. Just remove the Big basics and our format would be much better.

You also get punished when you play too much Claydol. Say hi to Dusknoir DP throwing all your attackers away leaving your bench with two Claydols. Draw all you want, you're setting nothing up the moment you place a 4th bench Pokemon
Catcher is not broken. You guys just don't realize it's those stupid 180HP EXs that are ruining the format's skill rather than Catcher. So please stop saying "I wish Catcher got rotated". If I were to rank the most broken card in the format, it is going to be brokeN
RE: Favorite Metagame
The Holon Phantoms on format was nice. Despite all the G&G mirrors, each G&G had their own twist that made them unique and had to think to win. Unlike this stupid, skill-less, sackful metagame we have right now :/
Really depends. Garmore decks have that Toolbox feel when you ride Garmore because he is the only one in GP that searches rather than sacks the top deck for something.
GarmoreEzel is fun. That has been one of my signature Gold Paladin decks which my playgroup nicknamed "Beyond Logic" because the deck has so much 1-offs and the deck still can pull off positive records and tourney wins.
Also, borrowing decks is the most fun aspect in Vanguard. We even have...
My Team placed 10th out of 19 during the recently concluded Asia-Oceania Team League Continentals. It was a pretty decent record considering our Vermillion player went 0-5 lol
Penny sleeves IMO are really iffy for double sleeving (the fit isn't super right and can cause the deck to bubble up sometimes) I'd honestly approve double sleeves if the outer sleeves used were the thick outer sleeves (KMC, Brocolli have those)
