I'm amazed you would bring up an example like this as though it proves your point of how awful the translators supposedly are at their jobs. The amount of people who are actually bothered by this "problem" with the Mega cards is probably tiny. You simply care about something that the vast...

Yes I can. Changing a card effect due to poor translation = bad Purposefully changing an attack name (which in this case has no effect on functionality) to reference an English language idiom = fine

The honest truth is that for the vast majority of Pokemon fans, attacks not being translated literally is not only not bothersome, it's not even a bad thing. It doesn't even register as a negative. Believe it or not, most people don't actually think attack names are an important part of Pokemon...

I like the name Make It Rain. I appreciate name changes in order to make a cute and fitting cultural reference. I guess it would be kind of cool if it was more obvious that certain video game attacks were based on TCG attacks, but...eh...not really a big deal.

Wait a second...are those translations literal? Isn't it insanely silly that each card has all three monkeys' names on it even though the monkey whose card it is will obviously be in play?

That is a fake, the fonts and text placement are totally wrong in addition to the card name error. In general, if you see a card with a major error, you should immediately assume it's a fake.

I really like fun gimmick cards like these, especially compared to the standard filler cards.

What a goofy and silly product. Do you really think little kids' heads will explode and not be able to comprehend anything if you give them the actual rules of the game (a 60-card deck, a 5-Pokemon bench, etc.)? It just seems weird and potentially actually confusing to give them a very slightly...

That's a pretty hilarious fake card.

I feel so much happiness just looking at these cards. They're beautiful, many of them have fun effects even if they're not competitive, and Generation I is my favorite in terms of designs. And I love how the evolution lines are all done by a single illustrator (except the final stages of the...

More proof it's fake: - It says "Illlus." instead of "Illus." and there is no space after the period - Retreat cost looks off (colorless symbol is too big and it has a slight white "shadow") - The black part of the set symbol is off-center

It was announced late last year.

What do you expect people to say in response? There's nothing to discuss here.

Yes, all Tool cards in the past have been errata'd to no longer be Items.

If they let anyone buy the cards, they'd probably run out quickly. They want to save them for the actual kids. I highly doubt this is against any laws.

I'd like to understand more of the purpose of the deck. I guess you are just trying to put damage counters with Inteleon VMAX in addition to the normal Chien-Pao stuff, but is there a specific goal in doing so? Are there certain numbers you aren't hitting with Chien-Pao that Inteleon helps you...

Nice set, but...ugh, why are Gliscor cards always so bad and boring??

Something I'm very curious about: we know this card was illustrated by TPCi, which is fascinating enough, but was it DESIGNED by TPCi? If so, would it be the first card since Dark Raichu to not be designed by Creatures? (I could be totally off-base on that, sorry if so!)

My personal theory is that their budget for PTCGL is lower than what they were paying Dire Wolf for PTCGO. In fact, I think it might be possible that their entire reason for replacing PTCGO with PTCGL is to save money. I don't think this will work...plenty of people use PTCGL despite its...

They both look really good. The original arts are nice too. Lugia in HGSS era be like, "Who needs Tera to be Water-type?"
