tbh I think it's all but guaranteed Dimension Valley gets a reprint. Bridgette is M. Garde's Blacksmith and, hilariously, you could theoretically bring its attack cost down to zero with DV + BT Florges. EDIT: wow someone mentioned XY9 Xerneas? That's such a good idea, I was obsessed with trying...

The other Mega will probably reflect one of the megas from the movie -- "Pokemon confirmed for the movie are Magearna, Volcanion, shiny Mega Gardevoir, Slurpuff, Mega Salamence, Mega Glalie, Mega Steelix, Mega Alakazam, Mega Houndoom, Mega Tyranitar, shiny Mega Gengar, Mega Swampert, Mega...

A Hawai'i themed game is perfect for Pokemon -- especially the starters. With the water, foliage, and volcanoes it's really the perfect meeting of biomes. Also, really switching it up as far as the cast; I love Prof. (assumed) Hala's design and the other designs. And I LOVE the language, so I'm...

confirmed

Eyyy Energy Reset! I've been waiting on this card, super excited for its applications. Not sure ultimately if it's still relevant (it was revealed quite a while ago and I had a number of ideas for it THEN but) but I feel like it could be quite powerful.

Only really excited for like, tech cards. Like Barbaracle and (gasp) Servine with FoGP and AZ and Scoop Up. That interests me. There are only a few that I would consider framing a deck around! Am I just a grumpus or what. What!!! Fig. 1: me

Genesect seems like it's clearly supposed to be used with a Float Stone in hand, a (muscle band/FFB) active, and Bronzong. Ayyy prefabricated combos. Also yo wHAT! is that Aerodactyl! I hope it's splashable in some capacity (probs not but we'll see about fossil support eh?) because that is a...

Ayyyyy that M Altaria-EX is m underwhelming. I'm not expecting anything from it, but there's always the chance it has synergy with something else obviously designed to complement it/it's own pre-ev. M Alakazam was essentially a weird M Tyranitar until it's pre-ev. But again, I'm not expecting...

tcg: *everything u h8 is coming back* me: Actual commentary, Genesect-EX as a metal type is real neato. Think it'd actually be more interesting if, instead of having synergy with Bronzong (as basically every metal type does thanks to Max Potion), it had synergy with, I dunno, Metagross? I...

On Grumpig, quick fix: Beat Switch: Your opponent switch[es] ...

I've only had it used against me one or two times but it's really not that damaging. In fact, it can be pretty advantageous (in a Bronzong deck, for example, or with Archie's as Yo-yos and fr33land mentioned). Because you get to choose what's going to the discard, it only REALLY matters when you...

Whenever they start up a new series of related cards (Eevee evolutions, M Pokemon Ex) it seems like halfway through the attitude is something like 'ugh let's just get this over with.' The first few revealed Eeveelution-EXs were p good! Especially Jolteon but like, how many times have we seen...

at first I was certain that this would lead to one of your tweets about not trusting bad journalism or something similar. because this is frankly unbelievable lmaooo.

I always sort of thought that Mega Gyarados looked like someone transplanted Gyara's face (not even his head) onto a shrimp and shiny M Gyarados makes it worse by being the color of a shrimp. Also dissapointed by the way they handled it in this set; I dig that red Gyarados is cool, but it...

P sure it is ultimately all about marketing like Greninja, cool as s/he/they are was generated to be a mascot from the onset. Its popularity after release was confirmation of this, the company fed back into it, etc etc. The usual cynical advertising/money tactics. It's circular and standard...

Aight, now where's my Smash Sceptile DLC.

Psychic mind reading is a bizarre combination of effects. Can't really seeing it doing much good. But more importantly, that FA Gyarados-EX looks to be in the style of the super-duper FA Mewtwo-EXs from BTH i.e. with the yellow border. Am I seeing that wrong? Fighting Garchomp is an...

Ah! Ferrothorn is interesting. With four Muks and an Aqua's Base that's min 50 spread (assuming no float stone). I think in a different meta this could be really fun/even good?? But I don't think we live in that reality. Just contextually, the major threats: Vespiquen has 0 base retreat...

It seems like a lot of effort but honestly, and I don't like to make sweeping generalizations, there are few cards that are good without context. Gorge art, super bummed it has the 'basic' clause or else rainbow energy would be perfect. at least it's not rainbow burn tbh
