1. What draw power besides supporters then? Don't think about Octillery lol that's for decks who need to refill their hand every turn ie. Greninja. And it's kind of nostalgic to use Shaymin because we used Uxie in 2009-2010. 2. Toad is so easy to beat. And I play Toad a lot. 3. I only agree...

YES!!! TPCI LISTENED!!! STOP MAKING ALL WATER POKEMON WEAK TO GRASS!! THANK YOU TPCI FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!

If Pyroar becomes a Tier 2 or Tier 1 deck, Grass will see less play, which means the return of Primal Groudon. He ain't scared of weak 200 damage to him when he has Focus Sash, Pokemon Center Lady and Omega Barrier. Pyroar, I'm sure even with the BREAK, is one of those decks that's easy to wear...

Haha no. You can't be serious. You can't adapt if you think that the moral of my example means use Milotic or switching Pokemon. Which explains why you dislike the current state of the game. But hey, if you locked Darkrai-EX once, good for you. You have mad skillz now, you just don't realize it...

I don't need to tell you cause it's your decision and responsibility to make good in game decisions. Lysandre a Trev. Hex a vileplume or deck him her out. Once, with my raichu deck, I used PRC Milotic's attack to force my opponent to switch Trev with one of his benched Pokemon. He couldn't have...

You can and should adapt to matches. So yes your skill is relevant. I can't help but feel you have an agenda which is clouding your thoughts about this game. Skill is relevant here since you can adapt to many matches. Yveltal is an example of a 50/50 deck. "My point was the way I build my...

Seems to take up too much space and is too difficult of a combo to pull off. Just play more hammers and team flare grunts.

Yes you are throwing a red herring even now. And so? Discarding stuff/losing things so what? You want to change that? You want a card game to have you able to stockpile on stuff and setup your board? BTW, what does Drastic Revelation say? And based on how I see your deck building, it's you...

It's not a straw man. Since you should know that at face value the way at the game is played isn't different than before. You say now the game's broken. Look at how the game was like during base set. Automatic Pokemon switch with Gust of Wind and super denial with Energy Removal. Four Computer...

Care to explain this? You're talking about competitive decks. In league or anywhere else, people use fun decks all the time. It's just that competition means people will use whatever allows them to win. And how is that relevant? No offence but appeal to authority is meaningless and frankly...

And you totally disregard my response to your dislike of everyone playing the same deck in competitions. Maybe it's cause you realized that's bound to happen no matter what?

1. Welcome to competitive anything. In BF, everyone uses the AEK 971 or similar weapons. In fact, competitive BF players favour rapid fire weapons. Anyone can say, "I wish there were more variety" to anything but when it comes to competition, you gotta pick what can help you reach as far as you...

Firstly, just numbers isn't enough. Sorry math lovers. :) You need to understand the reason behind the stats. YZG wasn't played widely at States because people wanted to win. The Charizard Lounge said that I believe. That explains why the Dark Bird's presence was so low. YZG has a good matchup...

1. People have already pointed out the obvious: there cards keep NM in check. 2. No, you're wrong when you think that T1 item lock decks are the only competitive decks that can beat NM. And if Pokemon is the only mainstream TCG with powerful cards, why in MTG, is there a Lysandre's Trump Card...

1. Again, I have to repeat myself. Luck is part of the game. Decks like NM are bound to exist no matter what. And I'm not the only saying saying this. It seems you have trouble comprehending what others are reponding. 2. Minorities getting better representations and rights is a non-existent...

You seem to be ignoring the fact that this game is more luck based than other stuff like physical sports. And like I've said, this is a card game. The text does the work for you. You need a different set of skills. Like someone mentioned, knowing what to do is important and is an example of...

Exactly. There's no point in trying to fight a fact. Pokemon TCG is luck based. It's not 100% luck but it's a huge part of the game. I already said, don't like it, don't play. What you're thinking of is a fruitless pursuit.

Except that there are competitively viable decks, "meta decks" (some tourney winning) outside what you mentioned. I think that omition was deliberate to support your agenda. Is Yveltal (both formats) a T1 deck? Is Manectric/Mega Manectric a T1 deck? Is Tyrantrum a T1 deck? What about Raichu/Bats...

I'll then ask you this: how does one play the TCG "properly"? If it weren't for effects of cards, how does one even play? It's because it's a card game, not a video game or a physical sport. Skill isn't only determined by how you actually can do something. The cards do some of the work for you...

Except that it's gonna take time to get set up, at least 1 turn unlike NM and Shiftry/Hammers is gonna be good. Its attack will shut off Stadiums and Tools. I agree with you 100%. I have to disagree. Shaymin makes other decks stronger so it evens things out and there has always been a period...
