    'Unbroken Bonds,' May's English SM10 Set!

    Evosoda and Rare Candy are worded that way specifically because they would otherwise be able to evolve a Pokemon the turn it came into play. (Heck, Rare Candy used to be able to do just that, and was errata'd.) I didn't even realize Wally shared Dusk Stone's wording, but that also doesn't...

    'Unbroken Bonds,' May's English SM10 Set!

    Aside from Pokemon BREAK and Pokemon LV.X, there is no way a Pokemon can "have" an attack that isn't directly printed on the card.

    'Unbroken Bonds,' May's English SM10 Set!

    Neither is necessary to mention. Trainers, attacks, abilities, etc. that evolve Pokemon bypass the normal evolution rules. Mentioning it is completely redundant, and can make people assume cards like Ultra Prism Gible that DON'T say that don't work that way. At the very, VERY least, redundant...

    'Unbroken Bonds,' May's English SM10 Set!

    Man, Dusk Stone combines a bunch of the wording traits I hate about Pokemon. Overexplaining things that should go without saying (the being able to play it the turn the Pokemon was played), and implying Honchkrow and Honchkrow-GX are the same name. Both of those can confuse newer players, and...

    Detective Yoshida from 'Detective Pikachu' Revealed as Secret Card, Features Real Photo!

    It wouldn't weird me out anywhere near as much if it weren't Full Art.

    SM10a \'GG End\' Mini-Set in April

    Eh. Garchomp/Giratina (#60) is the only one here that is particularly good-looking IMO. Coach Trainer's OK, though the male trainer looks a tad generic. Not a fan of that Grimsley art. It just doesn't really... Fit him, especially since this is the depressed Gen 7 version being depicted.

    Which Megas do you wish had cards?

    They didn't "forget" anything. You necrobumped a thread that was made before M Camerupt EX and M Sharpedo EX were released. And then this thread got necrobumped again... What the heck.

    Collecting Question for collectors

    Just a generic large 3-ring binder.

    Collecting Question for collectors

    If anything, cards are LESS likely to bend in a folder. (There's more pressure on them due to the other sheets in the binder, kinda forcing them not to curve to an extent.) Damage only really occurs with mishandling them. (Hastily closing the binder in a way that leaves pages in the path of the...

    Discussion If you could bring back one retired mechanic, what would it be?

    Ace-SPECs and M Pokemon-EX are probably the only two that I feel "should" come back. I feel like Mega Pokemon-EX will happen again at some point, if only to finish them off. (They'd make for a pretty easy mini-set or promotional product, and all the current stuff designed with GX in mind...

    Groundbreaking Leak Reveals Unused Gen 1 Pokemon Designs, Including Gorochu!

    From what I can tell from those comments, the content itself is legitimate, but the Helix site showed them in a stream of a ROM hack (along with some fan content to make it go more smoothly or whatever), and poorly disclosed that fact.

    Collecting Flying Pikachu???

    To answer the original question: Evolutions Flying Pikachu isn't rare at all. While it's technically a "secret rare" due to its numbering, it wasn't any less common than any other Uncommon in the set. Keep in mind seeing a price listed somewhere doesn't always mean a card is WORTH what they're...

    Help Unlimited Fun Deck (Tickling Machine etc....)

    Full Metal Wall in February

    It's at least the third card that requires both players to play RPS, so not seeing why it's that surprising.

    Full Metal Wall in February

    Not true. Cosmog, Cosmoem and Type: Null don't have GX's either. Personally, Magearna is one of very few Pokemon I just can't bring myself to care about, at all. It just... Doesn't interest me in any way.

    PTCGO New PTCGO theme decks?

    There were actually 2 during the XY era. I didn't notice because I forgot about them, and the newest 3 don't follow the same naming pattern. (The previous ones were HS Basic Red/BW Basic Red/XY Basic Red/etc., the new ones were Born of Fire, Hidden Depths and Crushing Current.) Given they were...

    PTCGO New PTCGO theme decks?

    It's happened once with each generation. There was a set of HGSS ones, BW ones and XY ones. Oddly, I don't think they ever released SM ones for whatever reason.

    News Japan's First 2019 Sets: 'Night Unison,' 'Full Metal Wall'

    ...Not a fan. At all. Yeah, the beginning of Sun/Moon was maybe a bit too slow drawpower wise. But between this, Acro Bike, Custom Catcher and Zebstrika... They've overcompensated. Realistically, the "problem" was more than solved with Zoroark GX. (Who itself was probably too good at what it...

    Collecting How do you sort/seperate your Trainer cards?

    Split into categories (Tools, Stadiums, Special Energy, Supporters and regular items), alphabetically in those categories. Tools are seperate mostly down to how many items there are. (And yes, I treat Special Energy the same way I treat Trainers.) Of course, these days, I mostly plan decks out...
