Trinity Star's easily generic enough a name to get away with. (It doesn't even seem to be a direct religious term in itself.) First Commandment is getting changed for sure, though. Why Grass, Water and Lightning as the three types chosen? I can't think of any logic behind it. It's a weird...

Secret Rares have always been at the end of the set. Dark Raichu in Team Rocket being the oldest example. And actually, come to think of it, they kind of have to to be called a Secret Rare.

They already explained why the Sinnoh theme's there. (At least for the English set.)

I'm going to guess something along the lines of Abomasnow, Spiritomb, Heatran and another legendary (probably either one of the Shaymin or Cresselia.) I'd have outright said Cresselia for the fourth slot, but we're yet to get a Sneak promo with an art that already existed in Japan well ahead of...

With that low HP, there really is no excuse for this thing to not have free retreat. Don't know what they were thinking with this. It makes sense from an in-game lore perspective for Dugtrio to have craptastic HP, since it has the lowest HP of anything fully evolved that actually USES the...

Tyrantrum I view as a special case. Given Dragon is such a small type, I'd see Tyrantrum being more likely to be Dragon, or at least close to 50/50. (The only other Fossils I'd view in that regard are Aerodactyl and maybe Armaldo. Though Aerodactyl I'd imagine will be mostly Colorless going...

I wouldn't normally consider weakness as a determining factor, either. But it's the only way certain Pokemon (such as Grass/Poisons prior to Diamond & Pearl or, say, Gengar now) could have their alternative typings, so I do consider it valid for those cases. I disagree with Skarmory and...

Eh, Vileplume we kinda did. We got a couple of Psychic-weak Vileplume prior to Diamond & Pearl, where Poison was still part of Grass. (The Delta Species one was also, ironically, Psychic-Type and weak to Psychic.) Keep in mind some Pokemon represent one of their types a lot more than the other...

There actually aren't any Base Set Machamp that AREN'T 1st Edition. (There TECHNICALLY is, but it's from like a weird prototype deck for leagues or something, and has a red border and text on the back.)

I'd say it's fairly likely we will eventually. The signature moves of Decidueye and Incineroar are of their secondary types, after all. And their secondary types play into their visual design quite a bit as well.

Solid card. Not game-defining or anything, but decent. I think it has more potential as an attacker than as a setup Pokemon honestly. It's a non-GX, and can one-shot metal-weak GX's like Gardevoir, even if it's a little inefficient energy-wise. (That's not stopping Celesteela, though admittedly...

I don't know why you're reading this much into it. EX Unseen Forces was a Johto set out of absolutely nowhere, after all. I wouldn't look at this as an indication of anything to be honest.

Well, yeah, Dimension Valley is a card, Otaku. ;p

Until I get my fourth copy, Kakuna. It's the card I have most use for in the entire set. (Been wanting something to make my Beedrill deck functional again after Forest of Giant Plants got rotated.) Collector-wise... Not much. I collect Ice-Types, but most of the Ice-types in this set aren't...

You're naive if you think the format won't change with new releases. I think expanded already disproves that notion. With the exception of Night March, nothing's remained consistantly viable there. "i hate having to buy new decks" isn't a reason a format like this should exist anyway. And if...

Making Unlimited an official tournament format makes ZERO sense. The number of people that could adequately compete in it at this point wouldn't support the format, and there's no way they're going to dedicate resources to reprinting cards like they do for Expanded. It's the kind of thing that...

Heh. Interesting. The guy that went with Guzzlord and 39 energy here went 1-2. (Kinda disappointed there were only 3 rounds. There were more than enough players for more, like 30-something, but it was hot, so they wanted to end it quicker.) I wrecked him. (Both games I powered up Regirock and...

Evolution cards will tell you what they evolve from. (It's at the top left, near the stage. In M Glalie-EX's case, it says "Evolves from Glalie EX" under the card name.) It's usually pretty straightforward, though. Just keep in mind the card names they say they evolve from matter. Raichu cannot...

Yeah... That's not how Kabutops works. In the era Majestic Dawn was released, Supporters and Stadiums were their own card types, they didn't share the "Trainer" banner with what we now call items. It only works on Items. It's only cards prior to Diamond and Pearl (and after HGSS, of course) that...
