Look at that, they managed to put coin flips in all 6 Kanto starter EX. All while missing a golden opportunity to print their much sought after spirit links (which would have also padded the set to their benefit). A Crobat reprint was never going to happen here, although I'm still wary of a XY...

Crobat isn't a gen 1 Pokemon. Has Crobat been confirmed as a reprint? It wouldn't be a big deal just having sneaky bite Golbat for the next 2 seasons.

This is unfortunate as PCL doesn't need to power creep each set to make the set worth buying and competitively viable, there are other options. Power creep is just the easiest method for a card company putting out 4 sets a year indefinitely. Some power creep is OK and natural, but only if the...

The pose on Crobat BREAK is nearly identical to the pose of the Crobat in the previous evolution bubble. For some reason I find that kind of funny.

The BREAK mechanic is an attempt to buff evolution. One issue with evolution is that in most cases only the final form is viable. BREAK is an evolution on an already viable card (and you get to use the same abilities/attacks). Maybe we could see more middle forms that are worthwhile. Some of...

I want a dog line to be based on a Schnauzer. It could be a Normal/Ice type and one form could be called Snowzer because we have to have a nice punny name. A Schnauzer might be too similar to the Stoutland line (bearded dog), so I would also be very happy with a Corgi.

So a Play! series for Pokken Tournament? Didn't realize how serious they were with this. I can only assume this means a constant bolstering of the roster like a MOBA to keep the meta fresh and to garner excitement.

So a Nike ad with cheap looking CGI Pokemon added in. What a missed opportunity to advertise Pokemon GO. Even just having 3 seconds at the end of this to say Pokemon GO Download on iOS and Android would have been infinitely better. Why even have a Super Bowl commercial then? Why let the cat...

Burn ...oh wait.

Basic BREAK Pokemon was only a matter of time. Get used to the idea, there will be many more in the coming sets.

You could run Scorched Earth and replace the Metal Energy with Fire/Fighting, although 6 energy seems a little low for this type of investment. If not Scorched Earth, I do think Steel Shelter can be replaced for something that is useful in more match-ups, like Silent Lab or Parallel City.

This is the first time Froslass has had a retreat cost other than 1 star. A 2 star retreat doesn't really suit Froslass, but I get they want to cut down on the mobility with that ability.

I don't like how there are TWO Gardevoir on the EX card. We have had other EX with multiple Pokemon on them, but never two of the same Pokemon who are both competing to be the EX in question. The art also looks boring and uninspired. Same deal with the two Shaymin EX, although the artistic...

There is only one specific Pokemon title that makes sense to be advertised on as big a stage as the Super Bowl... Pokemon GO. You don't need to own a single Nintendo product to play, just a smartphone. All you need to do is download it from whichever appstore you use. When it comes to apps, you...

After you eat 8 hotdogs you have 2 hotdogs left over, so you buy another pack of buns. Now you have 6 buns left over, so you buy another pack of hotdogs to eat those. Well, now you have 4 hotdogs left over so you have to buy another pack of buns, and so on and so forth. It eventually evens out...

It feels like they want Pokemon EX as much an element to the game as supporters, trainers, and energy. Eventually the majority of Pokemon TCG sets will be with EX. A format without EX would be exciting, but I just can't see them removing such an easy draw. Collectors like them, new players want...

Players don't use notes often cause they don't usually have a problem recalling the contents of a deck or what was revealed. Many players can accurately guess the bulk of cards their opponent is running (or could run) even after the first turn, unless they are playing a rogue. If a card is worth...

Vileplume, Malamar, and Vanilluxe would be interesting and peculiar choices.

The way I see it, everything is a Pokemon in the Pokemon world, even humans. This film would have changed a lot, not exactly for the worse, but they would have had to keep the idea in mind when making all post-Pokemon Movie 3 Pokemon lore. It sure would have been interesting, but I'm glad they...

From a Standard Format perspective, Umbreon EX seems pretty balanced to me. It's near useless against decks without Mega Pokemon, and it takes a Dark so not every deck can easily run it. A Mega Pokemon deck facing against a deck with Umbreon EX has options to deal with it because 1) it can only...
