@Merovingian @Nyora "Update" is probably a better word for it, and it has been the standard operating procedure for the game since at least the BW-era. You'll find a lot of "Old effect on new similar-yet-different card" before that, but I personally noticed it as a major guiding factor during...

It is good to read the old threads, but you probably shouldn't just bump them. Then again, I don't remember the forum rules on necroposting. XP Sometimes, older rulings are no longer applicable; the new cards have something different about them, or the powers-that-be have tweaked out the game...

It isn't totally pointless, but it is stupid. Nor was it really about Nugget, at least on my end. @Yaginku came across to me as being rather rude, and instead of ignoring that and moving a long, I decided to let myself be annoyed and post annoyed comments. Yay me. ¬_¬ You can discuss and...

Based on the available results from the Oceania International Championship, half of decks to not run Marnie. Half also don't have room for Reset Stamp. I'm in a hurry this morning, so I can't comb through the results to see how much overlap there is between the two. I can tell you the...

Just because there are a few posts that seem confused, let us run through how I believe Nugget works, based on the current translation: For reference sake, the translation for Nugget as of this post: Let's cover how Nugget most likely works: Your turn begins. You must draw a card at the...

That isn't the only way, though. It was just the big example that reflects the changing metagame we anticipate post Rebel Clash. As soon as a draw Supporter hits your discard pile, Eldegoss V is an extra consistency card. If a healing Supporter is in your discard, its an extra healing card...

But it did for quite a while, at least if you were here when the story broke. ;)

Actually, I was just tired and misread the translation. XP I was in the middle of editing my post when you commented, but thanks for trying to bring such a huge goof to my attention! :) ... YES! XD The first time VS Seeker released, it was good, but not "Almost every deck runs three or four...

Okay, now that we have translations (though a few tiny details may still change), I'll give my rapidfire impressions of these reveals. Feel free to laugh at stuff I misunderstood earlier. XD Toxtricity V - A decent, evolving Pokémon V, but Tapu Koko V seems like it would be better. I mean, if...

Okay, I just did a character by character comparison of the scan of the card that looks like Tool Scrapper with a scan of an actual, Japanese Tool Scrapper and if it wasn't obvious enough, they are the same card. Note: I do not read Japanese. Like I said, I went through character by character...

... I fear you are correct.

For better or worse, I did post a thread with the rules posted here. As I may end up adding the other fun Formats to the discussion, and even if not, because I hoped for it to become a semi-permanent fixture to discuss these Formats, I thought it best to start fresh.

Heh, yeah. It gets really confusing if you weren't there for it. I mean, I was barely there for it, in this case; if it wasn't for Power Spray's infamy, I wouldn't have been able to place it, either. In case anyone missed it, I went ahead and edited the rules for 30-Card and Team Battle into...

You might be a bit late with that reference. Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray is from the Platinum expansion (February 11, 2009). Cards with wording for 2-on-2 play started showing up in EX - Ruby & Sapphire (June 18, 2003), though I guess it was still around as late as EX - Unseen...

Going to be brutally honest, Clam: I did not enjoy 2-on-2 at the time was introduced. I only played a few games, and then moved on. It has been over 10 years since I could really play it, anyway. Which is part of why I transitioned into a PTCGO-exclusive player, and I can't play 2-on-2 there...

From the Play! Pokémon - Trading Card Game Tournament Rules and Formats (November 2, 2017 revision) .pdf, copy/pasted to a Google document, with edits to accommodate formatting differences, for ease of sharing. I left in references to other sections in the Floor Rules - while the numerical...

Maybe post an example list, especially if from an event where the deck took first, so those of us who are a bit behind know what it is you're talking about? ;)

That is an interesting take... and I'm going to "take" advantage of it to bring up another of my questionable ideas for the game. Namely, a new approach to Type distribution, based on shuffling what we had in the Sun & Moon era. Most of it is the same. TCG Type is first, then the VG...

Big Basics don't need x2 Weakness to be balanced, though. I mean, it is just my usual Theorymon, so take it with at least a grain of salt. In the abstract, the advantages of Basic Pokémon over the equivalent card as an Evolution are: Card Advantage Time Advantage Know their role I think the...

They're not going to have any more [W] Weak Fighting Types? Really asking; this thread got long and confusing. @_@ AshCo, you reminded me of a few related points. No, Weakness isn't always an autoloss. Is that because a deck has to not suffer that fate to be competitive, or because most...
