Everyone stop making effects that wouldn't fit on actual cards. :p

I though the point of text faking is to create interesting mechanics, ability's, attack effects, and attack names. So who cares if it can't be put on a real card?

Once during your turn, you may flip a coin. If that coin is heads, flip another coin. If that coin is heads, search your deck for a Pokémon and either put it on your bench or discard it. If you put it on your bench, your turn ends. During your next turn, that Pokémon has 20 more HP. If you discard it, flip a coin. If heads, shuffle all energy cards back into your deck. If tails, your turn ends. During your next turn, flip a coin. If heads, draw a prize card. If tails, your opponent draws a prize card. Either way, this Pokémon takes 20 damage.

:p

It's a bit of a joke in the CaC where people make really long effects and then some image fakes try to make the winning text fake into an image fake, but then discover there is way too much text.

O... I had no idea >_<

Every Pokemon I make that has special ability's / attacks in the manga I try to reproduce in the card game (and if its OP make it less OP).
Basic–Masked Man's Houndour–Dark– HP70

[D][C] Flamethrower 30 damage.
Discard an Energy attached to this Pokémon.

[D][C][C] Howl
Until the end of your next turn this Pokémon's HP is now 120, The attacks of this Pokémon do 50 more damage to your opponent’s Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance), and The Retreat Cost of this Pokémon is [C][C] more.

Weakness: [F]
Resistance: [P]
Retreat: 1

I honestly feel that Howl is a bit too powerful for a Houndour. Increase the HP to 120 or something is my suggestion, damage increment by 50 and retreat cost by two.

Basic–Masked Man's Lugia–Psychic– HP130

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 100 damage times the number of heads.

Weakness: [L]

Basic–Masked Man's Ho-Oh–Fire– HP120

Oh! You're really getting into the complicated stuff! There are a few things that need fixing, though. Firstly, you need to use apostrophes, such as in 'player's turns' and 'player's opponent's next'. Secondly, I feel that the end clause is needlessly complicated for the Ability. The time distortion effect really is the elongated effect duration, not things like a permanent effect being placed over the active - that would be much more suited for something like space distortion. Thirdly, the specific way to activate the Ability is not actually written. I assume it is an automatic effect, so this would be the best wording:

As long as this Pokemon is in play, all effects of attacks, excluding damage, done to any Pokemon in play is now applied at the end of that player's opponent's next turn.
 
Actually the damage is supposed to be applied like the effects. So I am just going to change "excluding" to including... Unless that's OP...

Oh! Do you mean that the attack (and effects) does damage at the end of your opponent's turn? Yeah, that is a bit overpowered, to be honest. You opponent's Sand Attack will be completely useless now, for an example. Damage isn't such a big deal, although it sorta feels unnecessary. However, if you want to make it so that Knock Outs are delayed, you could do something like this:
"Whenever a Pokémon would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack, that Pokémon is not Knocked Out and is instead Knocked Out at the end of the owner's next turn."

Don't you reference anything to me!!!

Sand Attack was never any good in the first place... Any other complaints about its OP-ness?

How does it stop other effects? (what I am trying to achieve is delayed attacks not stopping attack effects, what am I missing here?)

All those effects end at the end of your opponent's turn. By delaying them until the end of your opponent's turn, they don't get a chance to activate.

O I see now. I will change it to what you think it should be. (btw thanks for all the help :D)

What Persons Pokemon would you like to see me do next?
 
I updated the OP once I saw my placing in the CAC tournament

Stage 2–Porygon-Z– Colorless– HP130
Evolves from Porygon2

Ability: Upgrade
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may Knock Out 1 of your Pokemon. If you do, attach as many different types of basic Energy cards from the discard pile to your Pokemon in any way you like.

Ability: Download Attacks
Once during you turn (before your attack), if this Pokemon has no Pokemon attached to it you may attach a Pokemon from your discard pile to this Pokemon. While this Pokemon has a Pokemon attached to it this Pokemon can use the attacks of that Pokemon (You still need the necessary Energy to use each attack of that Pokemon.)

Weakness: [F]
Resistance:
Retreat: 2
I think I could have won first place if my Pokemon grammar was better (Remember that it was one of my first cards.) I made lots of little mistakes but my biggest was that I did not use the special é when I spelled Pokémon (10 mistakes were made just by the misspelling of Pokémon.) assuming that 1 point was taken off for each misspelling (Overkill!!!) I had fun though (that's what counts) and I can't wait till the next CAC tournament comes out! And maybe I will take first place next time :D

Score: 33.5/50

Also @bbninjas did you have to give me -1 point for each misspelling of Pokémon!?!?!?!

I reckon don't even worry about trying to delay effects, but just delay the Knock Out. It still changes the gameplay significantly, which I think is what you were looking for.

Do Loreli's Slowbro. :D

It's actually -1 point for the first misspelling and -0.5 for each consecutive misspelling of the same word.
