This stadium seems to pay homage to the neo genesis (gen 2) days when Dark and Steel (aka Darkness and Metal) were introduced.

Way to be yourself, careless hands and all, Slowbro! I wonder if his cousin, Slowking, will make an appearance as well.

I wonder when we'll get our first fire-type BREAK evolution (throw something at me if I am blanking on one that's been revealed, other than the implied eventual Delphox). Likewise, I wonder if/when the burn status will return. Not that I like/dislike it either way...it's just strange to have...

I don't think Durant will get a BREAK evolution, as it's my impression that BREAK evolutions are an additional form of evolution (for stage 1 and 2 cards). But who knows.

Well, Whimper seems to be the only way I can think of (chime in with corrections) to guarantee (though situationally) an opponent's Pokemon to be asleep during his or her turn (since typically when you put them to sleep, the get to flip/roll before their turn starts to see if they wake up, but...

A) I am just imagining the depression in the person who plays this card, finally gets the 4 energies, and then has an opponent play a Garbodor with a tool attached...so hurtful! B) A Water weakness is interesting, and quite unusual C) In reading all of the setup ideas, I didn't notice...

Golden pimp Raticate! I wish they gave him some big chains to wear, too.

Imagine the excitement in a Raticate vs. Raticate card battle...essentially a staring contest until someone decks out. Get pumped!

In Zebstrika's defense, it does appear to be only an uncommon card (versus rare)...so, considering that, it's not too shabby. On the other hand, this "rare" Chatot I keep pulling from BreakThrough packs...ughhh

RE: Stantler - it makes me wonder if, since this set's theme is Mega vs. EX vs. Break, we will get a Gold Breaker-like attack that does double/boosted damage against Megas? I can't think of any current cards that do extra damage against Megas (chime in if I am forgetting something, other than...

I just want to bring up the often-overlooked Skarmory-EX, which isn't the best card, but with its Joust attack could easily counter any upcoming tool-heavy decks. It's a specific niche though, I know. Also (someone else has mentioned this before) Tailspin Piledriver is one of the best names for...

I am liking Breakthrough Yveltal even more as an attacker... And Startling Megaphone as support otherwise.

A few have mentioned it, but I don't see why they couldn't have given this ability effect to another Pokemon, with another name (other than Garbotoxin) or caveat (vs. having a tool attached)...sometimes there seems to be a creativity void in the Pokemon world..

My thoughts exactly! Looking at Emolga-EX closer, it looks like it was designed as a bench warmer for Mega Emolga-EX, which...well, doesn't exist. This card wouldn't even be good as a non-EX.

I just want to point out that Kangaskhan-EX has the same drawing power, without needing to discard anything (Triple Draw). Of course, that doesn't lend itself to the Blacksmith combo.

I don't think it will block Seismitoad's item lock, as it's not really an effect on your Pokemon (it's an effect on you), nor will it block the bats' ability effects, but it will block the bench damage from their attacks. It's just like how the special Fairy energy doesn't block the item lock. I...

I bet the big announcement for 2016 will be a downloadable patch that gives you new benches throughout Kalos, and even Hoenn! This going to be huge! Get ready to sit all year long!

Interesting news! Froakie looks pretty cute and Suicune has nice art. Does anyone else think that Ninetales-EX looks a little off? That is, its face has sort of a bootleg art quality. Most of the EX cards are what I would expect from these kinds of decks...not bad, but on the whole not quite on...

Also on my wish list is for some very beefed up stage 2 BREAK cards...it really takes a lot to get 4 cards out in the right order...I've been trying out Chesnaught BREAK and Forest of Giant Plants helps but A) it isn't foolproof/still requires some luck, B) he still has expensive attacks, and C)...

I can't be the only one who thought about this (apologies if I overlooked the answers) - but what about: 1) Special Attack/Special Defense being separate stats? 2) Dark/Steel/Fairy type Pokemon and moves? 3) Abilities? 4) Type effectiveness (e.g. Bug weak to Poison, etc.)? 5) In-game...
