    News 20th Anniversary Set in September + Surfing Pikachu and M Slowbro-EX!

    I don't really see how Here Comes Team Rocket is better than Town Map. Is it a good thing to let your opponent know what his prizes are?

    News 20th Anniversary Set in September + Surfing Pikachu and M Slowbro-EX!

    All of the retreat cost additions to these old cards that didn't originally have them really bothers me, do they really think a 40HP basic with free retreat would warp the metagame?

    Calling base set Porygon playable is a cruel joke.

    Here's a video of even more cards that appear to be from this guy.

    I am so very disappointed that they are indeed half assing the card layout for these by just copying the Japanese layout. Oh well, that's what I get for expecting TPCi to care.

    News New Legendary Battle Decks in September!

    Because Theme Decks are more an equivalent to Starter Decks than Structure Decks, they're not meant to be a serious tournament level deck, they're meant to teach new players how to play the game. Battle Arena decks and these Legendary Battle decks are more like what event decks were in MtG...

    Really hoping this doesn't exemplify how the western version of Evolutions ends up, all they would've had to do to make the reference obvious is make the background a solid blue color, but they couldn't even do that.

    Blast Turtle Pokemon 'Turtonator' Revealed!

    Reminds me a lot of older pokemon designs, what with some of them being less "cute and cuddly creatures" and more "RPG enemies that you can capture" like Grimer and Muk. Haven't really felt that way about a Pokémon since Gen II with Ursaring, Murkrow and Houndoom, and I'm not sure if it's a...

    News 20th Anniversary Set in September + Surfing Pikachu and M Slowbro-EX!

    It's almost assuredly the exact same as the other Charizard, there was a Japan only promo set of Base Set Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise with different artwork available as a promotion with a CD in Japan back in the day, and this Charizard is using that art. You say that like this is the first...

    They gave the base set Rattata a retreat cost? *flips table*

    Not to be a major buzzkill, but they've not confirmed that the US set is bringing back the starry holofoil pattern, so excuse our reserved reactions. If and when that's confirmed, all aboard the hype train, full speed ahead. I'd settle for Firered and Leafgreen style reverse holofoils, to be...

    News 'Rayquaza vs. Keldeo Battle Arena Deck' in September!

    I LOVE these battle arena decks, they're always a fun match up against each other, they make for great fair casual games without having to worry about whether either deck is capable of annihilate the other. I do hope that they make each subsequent set about the same level as the Mewtwo vs...

    News 20th Anniversary Set in September + Surfing Pikachu and M Slowbro-EX!

    They'll probably be like Tauros from Generations, which was a reprint of XY's Tauros but with Jungle Tauros's artwork. It's also possible that we'll get some like Slowpoke, which was a pseudo reprint of Fossil Slowpoke, but only allowing you to retrieve Item cards and not any card in the Trainer...

    I wonder if the ETB energy pack will be Generations energy or just regular Gen VI basic energy.

    Major Changes Coming to 'Fates Collide' Prereleases!

    This sounds like a really nice change, I was a big fan of the "seeded" packs from the MtG prereleases, and like RiverShock said, it sounds very similar to those. It made deckbuilding simpler, but it wasn't unbalancing the game too much because everyone had a similar advantage and structure with...

    Japan's XY9 Set: 'Rage of the Broken Sky,' New 'Battle Strengthening Sets'

    >it almost feels like PCL is reworking and remaking cards rather than creating brand new ones. Plenty of the good cards we see are based on older cards. The Phantom Forces Bats are based on Team Rocket and Neo Destiny Bats. Plenty of cards are based on older ones.

    'Battle Arena Decks: Mewtwo vs. Darkrai' Contents and Photos!

    This really reminds me of MtG's Duel Decks, two decks which the singles are often worth more than the MSRP of the product, and are relatively balanced when played against each other. Does anyone know if these two decks are balanced against each other? I'm suspecting the Darkrai EX deck has a...

    (1) XY14 Trevenant and XY15 Slurpuff in 'Furious Fists' Blisters [8/2]

    Former mods quit and told people, when confronted Liam apparently had no idea what his underaged mods were doing and promptly deleted everything. Since the thread was apparently always on the front page I have doubts as to whether or not he was telling the truth, but it it possible he fapped...

    Yes, it is. Hence why he deleted everything and there is no longer any secret mod forum.
