RE: Competitive Discussion of the Week - 15 I don't know quite how "anti-meta" it is, but Scarf Ditto is definitely a cool counter to most popular setup-sweepers, like Dragonite and Mega Gyarados. Along with Encore Wobbuffet, it can really mess with opponents, turning their momentum right back...

My favorite card illustrator is Sui. Her watercolor art is very appealing for almost any Pokemon, but I can't really explain why. I might attempt to replicate her art, but I have not the faintest idea how to properly replicate watercolor in an image editor. Besides, I would rather try to...

RE: The Competitive Battling Simple Questions Thread If you want to start playing VGC, you can just start playing it, on Pokemon Showdown (under the "Battle Spot Doubles / VGC 2015" metagame) or on the cartridge itself in regular Battle Spot Doubles rating battles, since the rules are...

I don't really get what you mean here. Many of these Pokemon have really never gotten the chance to show their Flying type in the TCG before because alternate typings have always been prioritized over Colorless. Now that we have a set with its whole theme being focused on Flying types, it's...

Excellent! Thanks for the hard work, WPM, Shakespeare, and BigfootAUS. And if you don't mind me asking, why is it that some older scans are still low-quality? Many of the scans from Furious Fists are still hard to read, glare'd, and reverse. Will this be fixed in the near future? I'm...

I actually really like the idea of giving a few flying type Pokemon a colorless typing for once. It's a cool mixup to the usual way things go, and it fits perfectly with the set's title and origin (Mega Rayquaza's Delta Stream ability). In any case, I'm again pretty excited for this set...

As far as I can tell, the theme of this set is Flying and Dragon Pokemon, to go along with Mega Rayquaza's Ability "Delta Stream". In that way, yes Thundurus DOES fit as an EX. As do the Colorless (Flying) type Rayquaza. I'm liking the vibe of this set so far. While Colorless Rayquaza doesn't...

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Jan. 2015 - Member's Pokemon While I appreciate the gesture, I do not think I should be an option for fan voting. After all, I did not technically produce an entry.

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Jan. 2015 - Member's Pokemon As I said already, I do not have my image-based entry, but here's what the card would have been: Overall, while I'm happy with the concept, I'm disappointed I couldn't get together a card to submit. I had a pretty good idea...

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Jan. 2015 - Member's Pokemon Unfortunately, due to a project being due Thursday, I will probably not be able to finish my submission by the end of tomorrow. I think if I had the weekend (30th and 31st), I could finish, but I don't expect the whole contest to be held...

RE: Steff's Card Factory - More DP cards! Woah! That seems a little overpowered, especially considering Muscle Band, a real card which increases attack damage by just 20, is already regarded as being pretty broken. Besides, interesting fakes. There's a lot of variety between the different teams.

The difference in pixel density is subtle, and difficult to notice for many people, but it is not a totally negligible difference. Obviously, I'm not sticking my face in the screen each time I play counting the boxes in the grid lines, but in many situations, especially with the 3D turned on...

The main reason I'm upset about the lack of a regular model is because I flat out do not want the XL iteration. I much prefer the smaller size and higher pixel-density. I don't know how many people sympathize with me on this, but both of those are critical factors in my purchasing decision...

RE: Attack Name Resource (Accepting Help from Everyone!) Not directly contributing here (sorry!), but wouldn't it be more appropriate to say "effect" or "non-damaging" rather than "gimmick"? Gimmicks generally refer to clever techniques or hidden catches. Damaging attacks can have clever or...

RE: Competitive Discussion of the Week - 9 Generally, I start with either a Pokemon or move, and base the entire team around that. For example, the first XY OU team I made started out with Land-Forme Shaymin. Then I just came up with ways to support that thing. Added Sash Lead Infernape...

Also, Yveltal's "Oblivion Lazer" is misspelled! The proper spelling is "Laser" (as in, Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation).

RE: NameBlank's Stuff (Zoroark-EX Done!) I'm not NameBlank, but generally 180 HP is reserved for the bulkier Pokémon, like Landorus or Lugia. The main exception to this is Darkrai, one of the faster, frailer legendaries. Darkrai-EX? 180 HP and 2 retreat. Don't ask me why.

RE: Pokemon+ Bold Ascension, Text-based Set by NameBlank. Newest cards: 9.28% Done! Newest cards: Houndour, Houndoom Yes! Like so, I believe: The "benched" clause is added as a clarification. Because the effect of the ability would be resolved before a new Active Pokémon is chosen, you...

RE: Best Way to Store EX Cards and Other Cards of That Sort. The primary advantage of using top loaders over regular binder pages is the added protection from warping due to the stiffness of the material. That said, a good binder can still provide this to at least most of the cards...

Many games have and still do include paper manuals, but are slowly moving away from it (possibly to save paper). For example, XY included a 6 page foldout manual, and 1 page of that was a cover, and 3 pages were warranties, copyrights, and warnings, leaving just 2 pages to briefly explain the...
