Live was never meant to be an upgrade. TPCi don't have access to the billions that TPC Japan has, TPCi needed to move away from Dire Wolf Digital as 3rd party dev for PTCGO as it was costing them too much. Since the code Dire Wolf used for PTCGO is their own proprietary code mostly ripped from...

As explained in the article the two games are handled by 2 different companies, Pocket by Creatures and DeNA, Live by TPCi. TPCi have very little money compared to the likes of TPC, Creatures and Game Freak. Since they're completely different companies support will differ, in fact the old TCG...

Guzzlord didn't have the ability to boost its attack enough to KO basic multi-prize Pokemon, I can definitely see turbo Iron Hands, running enough energy with Electric Generator can get 4 on there along with a manual attach, then with Future Boost Energy Capsule and 3 Regieleki VMax you're...

It says "and" Pokemon with special energy attached, Tag Teams and Ultra Beasts do no damage regardless of energy attached and non TT or UB Pokemon do no damage if they have special energy attached.

Unfortunately with Marshadow being weak to psychic it's not likely to see much play with Garbodor around, 4 items in discard or 3 with choice band lets Garbodor ohko it. Alolan Muk is pretty good, dark + DCE drop a salazzle and you're hitting 150 for 2 special conditions, 180 after the...

If you have an Android smartphone you can play TCGO on it. Download the .apk from apkmirror.com. I have been playing it on my phone for years (previously Galaxy S5 and for the past year Galaxy S7 Edge) with no issues at all, the smaller screen size hasn't been a problem for the tablet version.

Japan doesn't have an expanded format and their current format is still XY-on and will be for over a year so a lot of these older cards are difficult for them to get, there's always a lot of older reprints in Japan. They play base set-on for 3 years and then rotate to the next base set-on...

No offense but this article isn't great, I get that in a 'Free Blog' you're not going to give away everything that you'd want people to pay for in the premium articles but adversely don't be pointing new players in the complete wrong direction. Mega Steelix is terrible, going as far as...

I don't think we can assume EX's are gone, to me the fact that the showed the EX, M and Break Logos before showing the GX logo seems to indicate that it's the next addition to the game, each of those didn't replace the last, EX's started in Gen 5 and didn't get replaced by anything going into...

Destructor Beam is [M][M][M] not [M][M][C].

Everything is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. However in terms of setting a price for something I agree that sold listings give you a pretty good idea since a lot are bids or best offers so they reflect what the buyer wanted to pay for the item, it's only the static buy it now...

I'd like to see burn changed to still flipping a coin but dealing only 10 damage but also reducing the damage dealt by the burned pokemon by 10 (regardless of the flip between turns).

First let me say that this is a really well written article, it's easy to read and concise to it's points. There's just a few small bit's it's like to criticize if I may: The consistency section while explaining well that consistency is the likeliness of your deck pulling off it's core strategy...

Great article, I should be moving to Japan myself towards the end of next year and I've been looking around for info on the Japanese OP structure and your article answered most of my questions.

Just drop an Absol so move 3 damage counters to the active and hit anything for 290 base. With the LTC ban item lock is going to be seldom seen so Mega Turbo + DCE to power this up won't be too difficult, the format is going to be pretty slow now anyway.

@ Above I believe the translation for Wobbuffet has been changed and that it also removes Abilities on Pokemon in play.

I'm currently running Pyroar/Mewtwo updated for next format. You don't need Reshiram, Mewtwo deals with anything that is a threat to Pyroar, up the MewtwoEX to 3. Take out Float Stone and put in Switch/Escape Rope, you're going to have Muscle Band attached to your active most of the time, up...

Computer search will be getting rotated. You don't need the Raichu line, Yveltal won't be big any more because Dark Patch is getting rotated, it's too slow. The KyuremEX is really random.

RE: Furious Aura (M Lucario EX/Landorus EX/ Landorus) Random Receiver is going to hit supporters you don't want, swap them for 2 more supporters. If you run Garbodor as suggested above I'd recommend taking out the mega lucario as it won't be needed but if you don't run the Garbodor then keep...

Heavy Ball is getting rotated. Also Yveltal won't be a threat, it's too slow with Dark Patch getting rotated.
