I didn't notice Quaquaval lacked Boss. That's definitely something. I was thinking of things from outside the head-to-head, where the Quaquaval deck can be upgraded to Chien Pao. Meowscarada is a cool card, so I think it'd still be fun to play. Hopefully it isn't as one sided out-of-the-box as...

Quaquaval ex: Radiant Greninja, Baxcalibur, Rare Candy Meowscarada: uhhhhhhh

The image issue was enough of a bother that I've taken the time to set up an entire gitpages site to rehost everything. (It's very barebones html, but it can be found here, including ways to see just the images in a gallery or to view the sets with explanation text very similar to the...

Yeah, I'm not sure why :/ They're just imgur links, and they load when I enter the Edit Post section I've included the link to the albums in a couple of posts so readers can at least see the cards by switching around, but the image issue is frustrating enough that I'm actually working on making...

I'll be using Post #11 as a conglomerate post for players to see changes over time, but when a card gets a redesign, I'll also make a separate post to catalog things as we go. Today's major change is Psyduck. Water Gun was a solid 20-for-1 attack, but as a confused lil boi, I saw an opportunity...

Hitmonchan isn't competitive at all, but it is the kind of card I like. I think it'd fit well in a single prize cube as a very respectable big basic. It's also fun to compare it to Base Set Machamp and laugh at how the game has progressed.

Finally caught up entirely on this thread. Great job with everything, it's really clear a lot of thought went into it and that you have a disciplined approach to designing the cards. I see the more recent posts cover v1.1, the retreat changes, and then 1.6; were there other balance changes made...

This post is reserved as a Changelog. Find the most recent versions of all cards here: Base Set Evolution - Fresh Beginnings Base Set Evolution - Journey Base Set Evolution - Lunar Eclipse Also, I've decided to rename this set from Base Set Neo to Base Set Evolution. This should prevent...

Post #5 has been completed, and thus the entire 237 card set has been posted. Here are the Lunar Eclipse starter decks. Use NidoranF's Call for Family to get your bench full, then bring out the King and Queen. Rare Candy and Viridian Forest help get your first Stage 2 on the board, and then...

I've been thinking about whether or not to change any core gameplay mechanics. For example, should Pokémon maintain their Status Conditions after retreating to the bench? I'm still mulling it over, but one potential rule change has been sticking out in my mind recently. What do people think of...

Yeah, that's more or less the point I was getting at. Devolution can have a place, but it isn't this meta and Aerodactyl certainly isn't it. When I say the card isn't terrible, I mean it in the same way that Battle Styles Fearow isn't terrible; it stands out and makes me think "I could find a...

Post #4 has been updated with the most recent pass of cards from Journey! As such, I've brewed up 3 new Starter Decks. Some other decks that didn't make the cut this time include Withdraw, Big Eggplosion, and Paralysis Lock. I didn't intentionally make 2 of the decks Fighting/Psychic, but the...

I agree with a "not terrible" assessment. Devolution has a valid place in the game--some decks unironically ran Ancient TM Machine Rock, but it's a lot rougher with the big HP on multi-prizers. Basically useless on VSTAR Pokémon and just generally less valuable than a format where 1 KO = 1 KO...

Are these cards being designed as a stand-alone product, or is it being designed within the context of Standard format? Iron Bundle is an interesting one; assuming the attack does nothing if you have fewer than 5 cards in hand, it could be tough to consistently be setting it up without losing...

Thanks for taking the time to check the cards out! I knew I wanted a Ronald card, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it justice by just making him a buffed Steven's Advice / Erika's Hospitality. The flavor idea here was "if the rival [opponent] plays a lot of cards, you'll rise to the challenge by...

If you'd like to try out some games in the Base Set Evolution format, I've created 5 Starter Decks! Note that these decks are not intended to be fully competitive, but rather to show off the various cards in the set. As such, each deck features 20 Pokémon, which I suspect is suboptimal. You can...

Base Set Evolution: Lunar Eclipse * Lunar Pokémon make their debut. This is a grouping similar to "Light" or "Dark" Pokémon, with members comprised of Pokémon related to the Moon Stone or outer space. * Stadium cards are introduced, offering effects that support a variety of decks with...

Base Set Evolution: Journey As mentioned in the original post, this set focuses on a wide variety of Evolution Pokémon. Not every card in a TCG can be equally viable; but whether they have a unique ability or a powerful attack, I want every fully evolved card to do something interesting about...

Base Set Evolution: Fresh Beginnings This post will go over Base Set Evolution: Fresh Beginnings in more detail. I've already shown several cards from this set in the original post, such as Blastoise ex, Hitmonlee, Computer Search, and Professor Oak. Note: Images are failing to load on...

Introduction Base Set Evolution (formerly Base Set Neo) is a re-envisioning of the TCG, meant to blend elements of the Base-Fossil format with updated game mechanics, creating a unique experience enjoyable for players of either format. Base Set Evolution is a standalone set featuring 200+...
