I was wondering if anybody would know this.

Has there ever been any time in the Modified format where there was an annoying hole in the usable trainers available?
Like...
No Rare Candy or anything good like that.
 
Well, one may come up if GE is rotated out this summer and Rare Candy still isn't reprinted. Let's not forget about Roseanne's research, since we KNOW Sw will be rotated out. And was Bebe's Search even printed in a set after Sw?

Lolwut. Not true. I don't actually think Bebe's has been reprinted yet. If they continue SP after Worlds, which I doubt, then they won't have the need for more Trainers, but it does look like there might be dry spell of good trainers if they don't reprint Bebes. Whoops I forgot. Yep, it's reprinted in BET IIRC. I don't think we'll ever not have staple Trainers to use. That's what the PTCG strives on.

dmaster out.
 
Actually, we will get Roseanne's Research and Rare Candy after the Worlds (even if GE gets rotated out.) Remember, they were reprinted in POP 08. POV should be a problem, since I see it a lot.
 
Well if that is the Case it would be wise if they reprinted rare candy in PoTF set or else there might be a few problems with many decks. We may have to rely on... TM-1 oh noez!! (vomits)

*edits* oh yeah, i forgot about th POP 8 set.
 
I 100% gurantee that we will have POP 08 in the 2009-2010 season. In this season, we are all the way back in POP 06.

But, at some point in time, they need to reprint it. But, if that doesn't happen, then depend of 4-4-4 lines with 4 Broken Time-Space.

bebe comes out in a PT theme deck, doesnt that qualify it as being reprinted?
 
Guys, you're not answering what Taylor45's asking...
Really off topic.
Though Lou pretty much nailed it, RS times were quite tough.

No it doesn't because if you actually looked at the card and where it shows the symbols of what set they are from, the bebe's were taken from the SW sets and the energy searches were taken from MD.

^Just because a card is in a Theme deck doesn't mean that

1. That card is in that set.
2. That card will be legal for 2+ years.

If a card is in a theme deck, it isn't from that set. It's from the set it was printed in.

Also, Bebe's Search will be reprinted in our next set, JPN's BET.
 
Actually, a LONG time ago, there was a sneasal that got banned from tournaments for being "too strong".

It was this one:

THAT CARD WOULD HAVE BEEN EPIC! But i do beleive it was never banned, and thats reallllllly off topic


now back on topic: yah, i think RS had nothing, at least ive heard that. I remember when i played 4 bebe's and 4 celios, everywhere! though it would be funny if we lost Rare candy, and we played 4-4-4 with 4 BTS, speedrill would pwn! But im sure we'll keep candy, for atleast next rotation. and who knows, we might get some weird new trainer that does something weird and new!
 
^We're guaranteed not to lose candy, even if GE is rotated, becuse it was in POP8.

Hmm, I don't get that. Let's say you have a PT Theme Deck. Not every card is from Platinum, although most are. So some of the cards are from that set, some are from other past printed ones, but are still usable.

And I already said Bebe's was going to get reprinted. Thanks.

Well, I think the era of RS is possible, although when Sandstorm came out, didn't it also have Rare Candy? So I guess the Era of The E-cards until RS was devoid of usable trainers.
 
But back in RS they also had Expedition/Aquapolis/Skyridge with cards like Oracle, Copycat, Fast Ball, and Boost Energy, all really great trainers/energy.

But to answer your question I really think it was in the DP-GE/MD format, I mean com'on. LA hadn't come out with all those good trainers and Uxie. SF without Luxary Ball, The Poke'blower/healer/drawers. Don't you guys agree?

Ever since after Legends Awake everything's gone rouge, which is good for rouge players, but now you can't come up with an anti-archetype deck, because you never know what your going to run into: Regigigas Lv.X? Galactic Variants? Skuntank/Mightyena? Gengar? Kingdra? Blastoise/Delcatty? Com'on!
