RE: (5) HGSS Scans, New Celebi Forme?, New 5th Gen Games, Less Important Stuff [1/29]
So many developments, just in one night.
The most important one to me is the announcement of 5th generation games. That one could get lost in the surge of updates, but it could easily be the most important. The 5th generation games appearing on Nintendo DS is okay with me, but aren't we supposed to hear an announcement on Nintendo's next portable in the near future? Why not drive the new handheld's sales by releasing the new games on a new system? In any case, I'm looking forward to this. Looks like I'm importing again.
Does the holo scans of HG/SS look just a little under-impressive? The Pokemon Prime look great, and the trainer selection looks really good, even for the beginning of a new set block. But the holos so far look like some real losers. The rest of the set looks great. The holo rares, not so much.
Among the trainers are several ways to add draw power to your deck, among them are Bill, which is now a crappy supporter, Professor Oak's New Theory, which has potential, and Copycat, which we've been waiting for. There is a lot of pokemon search potential, including Pokemon Collector which can get you 3 basics (just about any deck will love this, particularly SP decks), Professor Elm's Training Method, which gets evolution cards, and Pokemon Communication which gets you any pokemon you want, even though it's a Trainer. And then there's Pokeball. Pokemon Reversal provides the disruption, and the mandatory support cards are there, like Switch. Moomoo Milk is the only trainer that removes damage counters. It's good, but still risky enough that you can't entirely rely on it.
But, I think we're all looking to get Double Colorless Energy. Am I right?
I'm looking forward to getting another Jirachi at GameStop. Draco Meteor isn't a move that does much for Jirachi besides give it novel appeal, but I do like Jirachi, so I'm getting that for sure. In the meantime, I have Pichu to download for my US games, and a Mew to get over Wi-fi for my Japanese games.
A new Celebi form sounds interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing that, but I want Z to be an entirely new pokemon. Celebi's obviously going to be in the movie, and I'm interested in seeing what role it plays.
