I don't know why, but I can't reply to my last thread... 
I asked if you can play Pokemon Reversal if your opponent has no benched Pokemon and if you can play a card if you have no target for the effect.
The answer I received was 'No.'
To follow that up, can you activate an effect, like a Poke Power, if there is no target for the effect?
At my last Battle Roads, the judge ruled that my opponent could activate Regice's Poke Power even though I had a Stage 2 active. His logic: the effect "starts with" discard two cards. Is this ruling correct? I think it's wrong because there is no target, plus, the card text says, Discard 2 cards from your hand "AND" choose 1 of your opponent's Active Pokemon that ISN'T an Evolved Pokemon. Because of the 'and,' discarding and choosing are both required to start the effect.
