    “Grand Adventure Collection” Won’t Release in Europe, Promos To Be Given Out Instead

    I mean, ideally this would actually be better than getting the boxes, since you could spend the €20 the box would cost on other Pokémon products and get the promos thrown in. But with only 25 sets of promos being distributed per retailer, I take it the distribution won't go so smoothly?

    I just realized why the Giovanni battle in Pokémon Origins makes sense. You know, the one where Rhyhorn sweeps most of Red's team (even KOing Victreebel with Thunder Fang)? Red was literally that one kid who trained his starter Pokémon and nothing else, just like the rest of us. Just look at...

    I mean, there's not much "premium" about the card choices for the other Ultra Premium Collection this year, so I wouldn't rule out the Full Art Terapagos ex.

    “Surging Sparks” Set Officially Revealed for November, Full Product Lineup!

    *Weeps.* You have no idea how much I loved Burning Shadows' set abbreviation ("BUS") being an actual word. Not calling the set "SUS" was a missed opportunity.

    “Stellar Crown” Prerelease Promos Revealed: Ledian, Crabominable, Drifblim, Bouffalant!

    If you're not making it to play in an event, you could build a Drifloon/Zoroark deck as an ode to Dark Weezing/Brock's Ninetales.

    “Stellar Crown” Prerelease Promos Revealed: Ledian, Crabominable, Drifblim, Bouffalant!

    Fortunately, this Ledian is at least good enough to justify using in casual play if you just want to play a Ledian for once. It's outclassed by Boss's Orders, sure, but it's still a useful Ability, and it's attack conveniently OHKOs most Pokémon in the range of it's Ability, and for a flexible...

    “Stellar Crown” Prerelease Promos Revealed: Ledian, Crabominable, Drifblim, Bouffalant!

    Everyone Explode Now looks like it could be a terror in prerelease. It's the sort of efficient attacker you've probably always wanted, and it benefits about as much from the "you can now run as many cards with the same name as you want" clause as you could ask for, meaning it's ability to set up...

    “Surging Sparks” Prerelease Promos Revealed!

    I mean, I suppose the argument in favor is probably "more flexibility out-setting up your opponent in the late game if you manage to get a Magneton set up?" I'm guessing setup can be a little spotty in these formats, so you might get lucky and catch your opponent without a Pokémon to continue...

    @PMJ , I'll take your eye's word for it, considering I don't want to watch the clip myself.

    Wait, while rolling rice? I've only ever heard of one vulgar hand gesture (No need to tell me how many there are in the world), but I don't suppose it could have been an accident?

    Owner Pokemon Returning to the TCG and Team Rocket Set Teased at Worlds!

    And designing games professionally, right? Speaking of which, what games have you been involved in designing? Or do you not want to leave a trail of bread crumbs that some stalker could identify you from?

    Owner Pokemon Returning to the TCG and Team Rocket Set Teased at Worlds!

    Out of curiosity, since your profile describes you as a "bird trainer," are there any other birds you would be happy seeing if Pokémon decided making Pidgeot one of the best engines around was enough attention to give it? I always enjoy seeing Skarmory get attention, for example, and Swellow and...

    Or what about outside the actual battle? Supposing player A tried to get player B disqualified for disrespecting them as a person, but player B was actually the kindest person player A had interacted with all day but didn't agree with player A on, say, the definition of marriage?

    I wasn't watching the stream when it happened, but I'd heard about it. One thing I would be worried about is... what counts as bad sportsmanship? For example, under what circumstances, if any, could someone be disqualified for not shaking hands? What if you don't feel comfortable shaking hands?

    Owner Pokemon Returning to the TCG and Team Rocket Set Teased at Worlds!

    The tradeoff is that Trainer's Pokémon often have trainer cards associated with them, just like Dark Pokémon, Pokémon SP, and any tagged card from Plasma Freeze through the last set to feature Paradox Pokémon. So, like with Dark Pokémon and Pokémon SP, even competitive decks can end up...

    Owner Pokemon Returning to the TCG and Team Rocket Set Teased at Worlds!

    Well, as for Ethan's Pikachu and Ethan's Raichu (ex?), no baby Pokémon has evolved into its respective basic since the end of the Diamond and Pearl era, so I don't see why Pokémon should need to print Ethan's Pikachu and Ethan's Raichu. Also, N's Purloin was a notable Pokémon of his, but not one...
