The short version is that VG Poison Types have never been their own TCG Type, and likely never will be because the powers-that-be struggle with structuring the game for... well... really even the original seven TCG Pokémon Types, let alone the 11 we'd had before Sword & Shield. Nothing is a...

This is the Play! Pokémon Rules & Resources page of the official Pokémon website. It is your friend, even though a surprising number of players don't use it like they need to. XD I'll explain some of what you'll find there, but you should poke around yourself and read most of the stuff there...

This is something else I had forgotten, so thank you. It isn't so much Worlds being cancelled because they're worried about spreading the disease by that point, as Worlds being cancelled because the damage to the process is already being done.

Emphasis added. The first paragraph I just quoted stands as is. The second paragraph was worded improperly, so I'm glad you brought that to my attention. I meant for it to read "Even if the vaccine isn't available until after Worlds..." and, as you reminded me, it should have read "Even...

I know you're (probably) just joking, but to anyone actually worrying about this: Cancellations at this point are to slow the disease down, and that is because all we need is to buy some time. Assuming there are no further surprises since hey, this is a new disease we're not used to dealing...

Right... so far they aren't looking too bad. Which is an improvement over cards like Mewtwo-EX (NXD), Yveltal-EX (XY), even forgotten stuff like Tauros-GX (SUM) all being so strong right out the gate. The other area where we disagree is I don't blame TAG TEAM Pokémon-GX in general. Some...

Yes, there is something wrong with that (the part you quoted); it was just a fanciful version of my theory on how the game should be and not how the game actually is. XD

Ignoring my own suggestions, so far Single Prize Only (SPO) is still the best. Of course, I'm an old fart so all the terms with a past history we've brought up are familiar to me. I forgot that "Premier" has an official tournament usage, but I didn't like it anyway. It'd be like calling this...

Here is the current Banned List. This page contains other useful resources, like a digital copy of the rulebook, the rules for organized play, etc. One more thing... just in case you were unaware, while there is nothing that can copy the Ability of a Pokémon from your discard pile, Mewtwo &...

@jamashawalker Yeah, like @Wolfe_XD pointed out, we already have at least one example you missed. Don't sweat it too much, though. If the combos you like work, enjoy them while you can. Just... if you want the game to see real, sustained change, you've got to go deeper. It isn't just "Make...

Except you may be looking at older lists. I say this because those two cards aren't used much anymore and because Maxie's Hidden Ball Trick is banned in the Expanded Format (it is too old to be legal for the Standard Format). Also, and I hope I am making things more clear instead of less, but...

Not much of an improvement (if at all: "Mono-Prize" has the same syllables as "Single-Prize", but is abbreviated to just "MP". "Petit Cup" doesn't have a TCG use already, does it? A bit misleading, since we're only doing away with the multi-Prize specialty mechanics and not other gimmicks, but...

As this proposal comes up so often, if you and your League are up to it, please give it a go and report the results as accurately as you are able, @Yaginku I am quite skeptical of the proposal, because - for the most part - I don't come to the same conclusions but I agree that there is a...

@Kenatta_tcg you bring up some good points, but I believe you are constructing a misleading argument with them. Let's start with my use of things like bold, italicized, or underlined text. I use such things frequently for emphasis, to communicate more clearly. If it really bothered you so...

Apples and oranges; while there are a lot of things in common between the flu and Corvid-19, there are significant differences as well. Corvid-19 is new and spreading despite efforts to contain it (or at least, to slow it down). There is a lot we don't know about it, or at least, that we don't...

Spreading a communicable disease is just too easy. Even if you have a bunch of mature, adult players all practicing proper hygiene and procedure to avoid getting sick or getting someone else sick, all it takes is bad luck like Person A and Person B being caught off guard when one of them...

This undersells how easy it is for most germs to be transmitted. It is good general advice, but even if we were just worried about a normal flu outbreak, good hygiene and cleanliness wouldn't protect everyone.

I haven't been active on there lately, but I'm actually a PTCGO-only player. XP I began with the physical TCG back with its North American debut, but I couldn't afford to actually buy or play during the BW-era. I mean, I followed what I could and played using stuff like Red Shark, but it isn't...

...but they haven't strayed away from this method of playing: Metal Saucer is a new card, after all. Twin Energy (name?) is coming as well. I'd say they'd doubled down on it but that implies they haven't been doing this since BW - Dark Explorers released nearly eight years ago (Dark Patch)...
