    Pokemon 'Pokemon GO' Plus Device Delayed Until September

    Really a missed opportunity to not release this in the launch window of the app. There would have been a lot more people who would have bought this in the heat of the moment, people that won't be playing anymore in September.

    Next Batch of 'Sun' and 'Moon' News Coming August 1st!

    I would rather have information about how Sun and Moon will push Pokemon in a new direction and reveal some new features/mechanics that make Sun and Moon different instead of just getting more Pokemon reveals. Although, they couldn't do this if Sun and Moon is just a re-roll of gen 6.

    'Steam Siege,' America's XY11 Set in August!

    Bad move to not have Karen legal for worlds. I'm reading that there is still a chance for the card to be worlds legal. If Karen is legal, a large amount of people running NM will seek other options, which could mean buying boxes of Steam Siege they otherwise wouldn't. Karen being legal would...

    Discussion Is Karen the Death of Night March and Vespiquen?

    Without a doubt Karen makes the path for Night March to a top cut, and ultimately to become the tournament champion, more difficult. Facing one deck in top cut that plays Karen could spell the end of the Night Marchers run. A skilled player using Karen will be tough for NM to overcome. Karen in...

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    There are a lot of ways to play this card, it's very versatile, and it's a search card as well. It can be played anywhere from offering an instant tech, to an instant counter, to a scramble switch like move from the deck.

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    Ampharos certainly has a strong ability when isolated, but it's on a Stage 2 with a pricey attack and vanilla prevolutions. This hasn't got me amped.

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    Late as usual with important counters. Night March was never intended to exist without Trump Card.

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    With the current known card pool, Greedy Die isn't worth the space in any deck, that doesn't mean hitting the effect isn't extremely powerful, just that the odds of it being a completely dead card would be among the highest in the game. If they release a reasonable way to switch cards from your...

    Rowlet, Litten, Popplio from the Alola Region!

    I'm assuming the old guy in the Hawaiian shirt and white belt is the new professor. At first I thought Professor Palm, but after a little research Professor Koa would be a much more fitting name.

    Rowlet, Litten, Popplio from the Alola Region!

    Rowlet is the baby owl of choice now! Hoothoot who?

    TCGO and Night March Trash Talking

    There have been a few decks that people on PTCGO have gotten nasty about, and aside from Shiftry (which was never a legit tournament deck and was short-lived) Night March has been hated on the most. A lot of people don't want to play against the deck, one because it's too powerful for it's own...

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    I have always liked Serperior and single energy Stage 2 decks are fun to play. I'm excited, hope this line ends up being decent.

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    Crobat decks that run both DCE and DV can certainly make use of Crobat BREAK. I don't think I would even consider it unless I had both those cards in my deck, or some sort of accleration. Disappointing to see Ho-oh being used as 'expensive fire type' type instead of playing on multi-type like...

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    I have been going to less and less tournaments over the past few sets, and have found other new interests I have been getting into and spending my time doing. It's not about a single card, my enjoyment has been dwindling steadily and I have been spending much much less to keep up with the new...

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    Insane Night March support and N reprint? I. am. done. My disagreement with the direction of the game have never been this severe. PCL is disconnected from the players. I really hoped the massive fail in Lysandre's Trump Card was going to inspire PCL to recollect themselves and strive to...

    Major Changes Coming to 'Fates Collide' Prereleases!

    I always skip the basic pre-release event and just play the Booster Draft they hold afterwards. The latter is cheaper, more competitive, and has prize support. They mix up, with votes, what the booster prize count will be. Sometimes we agree 1st place gets much more, other times we agree to a...

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    Nice option for psychic spread decks. It's a card you can throw up while building something on the bench, as they rely on evolved Pokemon.

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    Lugia, 120 HP, -20 damage reduction ability and you can throw on a hard charm/assault vest with an added resistance to fighting, worth only 1 prize and can take any energy. It's a better Bouffalaunt. It doesn't even need to be ran with the BREAK.

    Magiana Revealed in 'CoroCoro!'

    Maybe she has something to do with the Klinklang line. Klink is a mysterious Pokemon, Magiana may have had a part in it's origins. I wouldn't be surprised if she can learn Gear Grind and/or Shift Gear.
