    Pokemon Next Month's 'CoroCoro' Promises Big News

    Oh look, another 'big news' announcement from Pokemon.

    Japan's XY9 Set: 'Rage of the Broken Sky,' New 'Battle Strengthening Sets'

    Seeing these cards, I don't think a 'colress machine' for Break Pokemon, grabbing a basic energy from the deck would be too OP. Golduck breaks the idea too much though, unless that's what they're going for. They need something to make them faster. I just can't see Break not getting support. Why...

    Discussion The Blazing Hellhound - (M) Houndoom EX Discussion

    Houndoom gets steamrolled by Regice. I'd say Pyroar gives you the best chance at overcoming it besides a Regice-specific tech.

    Japan's XY9 Set: 'Rage of the Broken Sky,' New 'Battle Strengthening Sets'

    I can't imagine Zygarde not being the focus of the entire set. It doesn't seem like that is the case with XY9. The next set or the set after that seems more plausible and potentially lines up with the new game(s).

    Japan's XY9 Set: 'Rage of the Broken Sky,' New 'Battle Strengthening Sets'

    Item-based burst acceleration for big basics... this isn't something I'm thrilled to see. Stupidly powerful.

    Aurorus-EX, Marowak, Energy Reset Gym Challenge Promos!

    Pokemon has given Marowak a lot of love recently. While you are better prepared for toad, you'll also be seeing less of it.

    Pokemon 'XY&Z' Trademark Filed

    I hope it's one game and not two versions. Probably won't happen because they know people will buy as many versions as they make, but just 'Pokemon Z' would sure be nice,

    Regionals Deck Lists for Top 8 Players of Each Age Division!

    This is a good thing from the Pokemon website. They do hide it though.

    'Legendary Collection Box' in November

    These boxes are way too big. I get that they want to showcase the cards, but it looks so hollow. Would have looked much better with a jumbo Pikachu/Hoopa EX hiding the emptiness.

    Discussion A Defensive XY-on Meta

    In Standard play Startling Megaphone doesn't see as much play as it did in previous formats. This makes Focus Sash a really good play and is one of the factors in Mienshao being as good as it is right now. Any fighting deck can make use of Focus Sash and go for a more defensive play. Even just...

    Super Mario Maker Thread: Post Your Course IDs Here!

    Super Mario Maker has been a game I have really gotten into and have enjoyed both making courses as well as playing them. This is definitely not a game to miss for any fan of classic Mario games. The only issue is that sharing courses can be a bit of a pain, and a lot of really great levels can...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    In expanded, Amnesia Golduck BCR is a better play. It can attack in variants not running water, can be searched with level ball, and gives Golduck Break free retreat. The only issue would be if a lightning weakness makes it more vulnerable than the grass weakness.

    Discussion Taking the Mulligan with Archie's/Maxie's

    I wouldn't risk it with a draw. However not drawing does tell your opponent something. If I know my opponent is playing such a deck and doesn't draw off my mulls and I go first, I will certainly try to use N or soon Judge. If you are going first, this is no downside.

    What Happens to Lysandre's Trump Card After it Was Banned?

    The effects of Trump Card still linger. Phantom Forces was created with Trump Card in mind. When Trump gets pulled, the cards build around it still exist. These cards were never made to be in a format without Trump Card, which is why a ban is always lose-lose. What's worse is Trump Card was a...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    It's amazing this got through considering this particular form of text is in the card art and they have to align the text with the artwork. Not to mention the multiple stages of proofing. The point is, this form of text is a lot easier to spot than an attack name error. True it's in English, but...

    Discussion The Break Mechanic

    I think Noivern spread decks are fun to play and Noivern Break is an exciting card for said deck. Noivern needed a hard hitting clean-up Pokemon, and now it can do that in itself without the need to build up and switch into another Pokemon. The extra 30 HP could force another attack to KO...

    What Happens to Lysandre's Trump Card After it Was Banned?

    I don't buy this as being a reason for the ban. They were well aware the card demolished a win condition when the idea was conceived.

    XY8 \'BREAKthrough,\' XY8 English Products

    This Jirachi might be a good counter against Vespiquen and Night March in decks that struggle against them.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    They made a mistake in hyping the break mechanic up as much as they did. If they are properly testing their cards before revealing them, they would have known the mechanic is underwhelming, so why the hype only to set up disappointment? They must have thought being gold was a sure sale with...

    Anime Discussion Thread

    Since L is your icon I can tell you have seen and are a fan of Death Note, which is my personal favorite anime of all time. It's not an anime, but they made a live-action Japanese Drama TV show for Death Note and it just ended a few weeks ago. If you're a fan of Death Note I HIGHLY recommend it...
