Wailord-sized oof

Finally someone capable of nuanced and contextualized analysis.

Maybe because he isn't. He's AZ.

Yeah, have to agree here. Not everything needs a "form", specially not ones that came out like yesterday.

That video was great.

Ace Specs is a cool concept that was executed poorly the last time around. The challenge here, as it is usually the case with mechanics that involve having just one copy of a type of card in your deck, is making different cards that are useful for a vast array of different decks, instead of just...

With paradox pokémon being the faces of sets, I worry about how pushed they will be, given that they're big basics and could push stage 2s out of the format if they're too good.

And yet again, the futuristic pokémon continue to be just "same thing but robot and with uglier color schemes", while the ancient ones continue to be deliberately ugly for no reason. I'm not even gonna bother with the apple. And Archaludon is just silly. Why the f does it look like this?

At this point, the TCG incarnation of the Terastal phenomenon is the biggest disappointment I've ever seen in the game. First, they absolutely kill the wonderful design space of an Ancient Trait-like thing, and turn it all into "bEncH bArieR?". But hey...maybe they compensate this by making them...

That’s just wishful thinking. The ungodly combination of terastal and gold is not something that will be frequent, alt rares are plenty, and even the occasional terastal full arts are not that bad, no one’s going to retroactively like RRs any time soon.

That art is absolutely innocent, maybe if you're so obsessed with the subject that you see something malicious in it, maybe you're projecting? Maybe you're the creep?

I liked that metal Lugia coin that came with theme decks way back then.

Yeah, it really sucks to have stuff from other products bloat up the western releases.

Right? It always baffled me how can so many people buy into that braindead argument. It's obvious that you're not gonna worry about not being able to sell cards, or them not having value, if you bought them for cheap to begin with.

I hope there's more Obsidian Flames cards soon

That's right, I knew that... I guess my brain did that thing where it just erases the memory of a traumatic event so it doesn't have to deal with it. In this case, the fact that Lost Box is gonna be a thing for almost 2 more years.

1 year*. Next rotation will already leave us with SV onwards format, no?

The problem is, like others have already mentioned, when these types of deliberate jank, moves from a product where it makes sense (starter decks), to one where it doesn't, which is in regular set boosters, when it comes to the West.

I wonder if this will be this generation's "slap 2 different tags on cards and print specific support for each one".

Good. A shame that here in my country, the company responsible for printing and distributing the game is an absolute joke. Celebrations was an absolute fiasco here, because the morons either cannot forsee, or don't care that obvious big hits like that set are bound to have higher demand than...
