How many sets are we behind now?

It's there for tie breakers. Basically it determines if you top cut or not if you or a few people share the same record. It pretty much advances all players with a high win percentage who also beat high quality opponents and who they beat. This is something I'm always on the opposite side of...

DCE is a problem because of how the attacks are made. With the exception of Colorless Pokemon (who can't hit for weakness so they are balanced as a result), attacks that ae largely colorless on colored Pokemon remained weak. The problem now is these attacks are used more than the attacks that...

I'm not including Colorless Pokemon since DCE was more than likely made for them to make up for the lack of hitting for weakness. As for a list of things? Its mostly just the game balance. It would be too big a list to make. I just want them to make less cards and make what they do make useful...

It wasn't designed well, but my argument still stands. DCE was a thing but the sheer amount of energy removal killed it. I believe Otaku is better qualified to talk about that than me so I'll skip it. I say Shaymin, sure but also the new Pikachu clone that does the same thing. Ultra Ball...

Correct, but DCE indirectly is the issue. Zoroark is just symptom of the card existing. Remember, X-Ball like attacks are a problem too because they can use it. Gardevoir-GX is easy to setup and can get five energy in a turn with DCE. Zoro isn't the only good DCE attacker. You have to remember...

@Otaku makes a good point though. If they want to keep DCE around, then TPC needs to balance all cards released around it. People look at D.Valley because things that interact with it also rely on DCE. Attacks with the [C][C] cost on non colorless attackers are too good. For a DCE, Zoro can hit...

Shaymin-EX is a symptom. Ultra Ball allows you to do the combo. Ultra Ball can find Hoopa-EX, Shaymin-EX (and the new version). Its can find Zoroark and Octillery. In Yu-Gi-Oh, they banned cards that could open up huge combos. This isn't Yu-Gi-Oh but the same stands. A single card that can +12 a...

@Otaku said what I was going to. Saying "why the arguments are stupid" means you have no real interest in discourse on the subject. Also, the card list you listed would be banned in most other card games,

Its obvious. The card was made with the colorless type with nothing existing at the time (design wise) that could benefit from such with Charizard and the colorless types being the only likely uses of the card. There are a handful of uses for it. Maybe Retreat Cost but Switch was a thing. I...

I didn't care enough to make a huge post but sure, why not. I say this because It has synergy with Charizard Base and that every other type could hit a weakness but Colorless and needed something to draw the type in and a double energy does that nicely. Also, attack cost of [C][C] weren't are...

You forgot about the main thing, Pidgeot being called Pidgeotto. That still continues to this day.

To be honest with you, I'm surprised they dont do more with Mewtwo. Its the one Legendary that doesn't get shoved in your face all the time.

May decks will find a way without DCE. DCE was only ever made for colorless Pokemon since they couldn't hit for weakness to give the type something and maybe Base Charizard. Zoro would have to wait two turns to attack instead of one, which is fair and with a huge card pool in Expanded, you never...

My love

The amount of people saying DCE shouldn't be banned because its always been apart of the game is baffling. DCE hasn't always been apart of the game. Its history has been Base Set, HGSS and now. The card needs to be banned because of the cancer it enables in the game. Zoro, Toad and the many...

I could always use more Charmander

To be honest, I stopped playing the game because of the state of things. There doesn't seem to be any interest in game balance (not that I think balance should be the end all) because of the continued release of things people think are bad for the game, like the setup Ability and the refusal of...

Is that a product we're getting? I thought it was similar to the Pikachu LV.X card. Now that I think about it, there is a Pikachu-EX so I was wrong but Pikachu is a mascot so its expected but with onix, its just not expected but Im glad it happened.

If this is going to be a thing with the Gym Leaders, then I look forward to a Pidgeot-GX... At least a Pidgey-GX. I do find it odd that Onix got the GX considering it can evolve. I think this is the first lower form card to get a release as an EX/GX. Either way, congrats to Onix and Starmie for...
