THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU.
SOOOOOOOO helpful. I'll definitely be using this in the future.
 
Asking permission to copy and paste this as referae ce on our own forums. Credit would be given Thank you.
 
good rod belongs in recovery. not a search. as it takes cards from the discard pile
 
Really great list, thanks for posting this. =) I have a feeling it won't be stickied, but I think if you update it when a new set comes out and bump up the thread to tell everyone you updated it, I think it will still be seen by lots of people.

One thing I think I would change is put Energy Search under "Non-Pokemon Search" because I wouldn't call it "Energy Manipulation".

Also, another thing that may help people if your willing to take the time to do so is to list what sets the cards are from and if it's been reprinted so people can know if they can use their older copies, or if they need a new one as a reference for their older copies.

I hope my post made sense lol, but again great work and I love the list. =)
 
Thank you, to everyone, for all of the appreciation. I made this list hoping people would use it! It helps me too when I'm away from this computer :D

@ "Darkvoid57"

I agree, but the moderators said they wouldn't sticky this thread.

@ "Riskbreakers"

Permission granted. Please give credit though.

@ "Afro-G"

I just got a warning for bumping this thread...so I'm not quite sure how to keep this going unless I/we somehow have something meaningful to say every time; maybe I should just make mistakes on purpose ? :p

I was thinking of adding which sets you can find all the cards in, and for me it wouldn't be too hard since I already have that list complete. However, I was hesitant on adding more information since I was afraid it would clutter the list too much making it too full and harder to search/read....I may put the sets up, but I'm not sure at the moment.

UPDATE: Good Rod, and Energy Search have been moved. Other minor errors have been dealt with.
 
It made me sad too. But then I thought of all the new potential, and the fact that the game/format got such a big refresh that it won't be as bad as we think. Remember, everyone is in the same boat.
 
Well I've run luxchomp since last nationals so for me it's like...NOOO SP'S..DONT LEAVE! XD lol. I have 4 hg-ss on decks though and they're fun. it's disturbing that prof elms is Actually needed now lol
