Erm, following logic and past patterns, ANY release with a unique set symbol typically follows pretty much in line with the release schedule as far as rotation goes. Things like the McDonald's sets, Trainer Kits, Dragon Vault and Double Crisis were all considered by when they were released in...

I don't see why you consider those products not being released to be a mess. It would have been damaging to the game TO release them. The Japanese market is less concerned about game balance (they have less large tournaments than elsewhere, for example), so keeping so many things like that in...

Heh, Sharpedo's cute. Not because it's a good card (it's really nothing special), but because they specifically made it work well with Aqua's Secret Base. Camerupt's OK, but also not worth using. 4 energy is a lot, even disregarding the fact this thing's a Mega. I might've built a deck around...

I'm actually surprised we're even getting these at all. I'd have expected the new stuff from the Best of XY set to have just never been released here. Personally, I kinda wish they wouldn't have released them, if only because I'm not crazy on the Trainer's Mail reprint in the Trainer Kit. With...

There is no reason to use Sophocles over Hau. At all. Even in decks that can take advantage of the discard, it's still going to be dead far more often than it's going to be valuable.

If they stick fully to Colorless Pokemon, I would guess Fighting or Metal, since neither of those energy has been holographic in a Battle Arena deck-type product yet. Grass being an honourable mention since its last appearance was the very first Battle Arena-type product, the Red Genesect...

It's kinda funny that of all those Trainers, the only actually NEW one is Energy Loto. Which you would think we'd have gotten an analogue to by now, given Master Ball/Great Ball and Pokegear 3.0 were things. Shame none of them are direct reprints. Nothing too interesting thus far (well, Field...

It's funny, I'm EXACTLY in the opposite position to you. I'm not a fan of Tapu Koko, or of bright colours in general, but I think this looks really, really good, especially the sleeves. o.o The dice look like trash, though.

"Unlike the Standard format, the 2017 Expanded format will remain unchanged. With each passing year, these two formats will look more and more different, creating two distinct, exciting environments for the Pokémon TCG." That is outright stating the Expanded format won't rotate... The...

Damn it, WPM. Thanks for reminding me that Autumn and Winter Sawsbuck don't exist in the TCG. >.> Then again, there's plenty of Pokemon with only some of their formes represented, such as Arceus and Vivillon. I'd expect this will be like the later Vivillon cards, and only have a single art. Who...

The next format better be at least Generations/Fates-on... Do not want Water Toolbox to still have Manaphy EX alongside this. Can someone just put me in stasis for like a year and a half and wake me when it's Sun/Moon-on?

...Nooooooooooooooooo... We're stuck with Trainer's Mail and Sycamore for ANOTHER 2 years? What the hell Pokemon, this is a terrible move. New art or not, we should not get those cards here. Who knows, maybe they could do a first and make the alternate arts share their sets with the original...

http://pokegym.net/forums/view.php?pg=stdformat I WOULD have suggested the official Pokemon database ( http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/pokemon-cards/ ), but they STILL inexplicably have the Standard format set to XY-on, though it would appear the filters don't factor in older prints that...

I don't think considering "Legacy" as a proper format is a good idea. It's basically PTCGO's version of Unlimited, it just so happens that the cardpool doesn't go before HGSS. (Well, there are a few Stormfront cards, but I'm not sure they were ever user-obtainable.) Realistically, I expect...

Pokemon say what they evolve from. Generally, there is only 1 card name that is applicable. If there is more than 1 applicable card name it can evolve from, it will say so. To date, only Blissey ex and Scizor ex from Unseen Forces have ever done this I believe, being able to evolve from either...

I don't care what the cover cards are. There just needs to be more than like 5 Trainers in the entire Trainer Kit... Please, PLEASE Pokemon, give us a usable number of Trainers... Sun/Moon contained a huge number of Trainers, so there's really no excuse. These cards are probably trash, but not...

Aside from cards held firmly in place in plastic, like tin promos and box promos, I don't have any issue with the condition of Pokemon cards personally. They might have slightly more edge roughness than the average other card game's cards, but not to the point it's bumped out of Near Mint. They...

The Dragonite-EX box's Dragonite-EX is NOT a promo. It is a reprint of the Furious Fists one, retaining its set symbol. In short, no, it's not legal in Standard. (Incidentally, of those five boxes, only Mewtwo-EX is a promo. It has different art to its Breakthrough counterpart, hence why it's a...

This isn't the first time you've been able to to start with a card that isn't a Basic Pokemon, incidentally. The older fossils (the ones you can play as a Pokemon, like Mysterious Fossil) could be placed as starters, too.

Once you've used the attack, the Pokemon that used it is completely irrelevant. It just makes it so during your next turn, instead of 1 attachment, you have unlimited. I think you're overestimating it a little, though. Aside from the fact that you can use Special Energy with this (which gives it...
