You're right. People basically just said "Quick Search" and picked a random card from their deck.
Lol.

I wouldn't mind seeing Lanturn HL being reprinted, that was actually quite a good card. I personally don't mind what is reprinted, as long as they don't bring back all the cards that were archetype decks in the RS-on era. Yes i'm looking at your Gardevoir/ex. I didn't really want to see Blaziken again, but there's nothing I can do about that now.

On the booster packs there is a Walrein, so maybe we'll see another Walrein ex, or possibly the HL one reprinted which I would love to see.

All we can do is speculate about what may be reprinted and what we want to see again. There's no need to get angry about anything, go to Pokegym to do that. I doubt we're going to get any more news about it until near its release next year since it hasn't been released in Japan so no spoilers are going to come through.
 
I hope that the raichu on one of the boosters doesn't mean that we get yet another raichu ex, or a reprint of the older one, we have so many raichus already, and just because he evolves from the pokemon mascot

the decks could mean that we get these weak, rather useless cards, with weak attacks (well, one could OHKO (but only 1/4)) back:

All I hope now is that we don't get gard ex, wailord ex, blastoise ex or the legendary birds ex back

So you mean they're both weak?
They're both OHKO'd by almost all the DF Ex's and have attacks which can do almost nothing to them. Dusclops has a chance if you're a lucky flipper but it's still quite subpar.
 
Hey, I liked that Dusclops...not that it was really reliable or anything, but still, a fun card to play casually with. It also reminded me of that Misdreavus with Night Eyes. Mmmm....the old days.

But yeah, in this format they'd both get their clocks cleaned. And even if they were to live, they really wouldn't do much. Dusclops was nice because he could be useful in double battles and it got around resistance, but there are much better attacks than that now that cost just as much to use. And Mightyena's attack is nice for hand disruption, but it won't probably be able to use it more than once in a tournament battle. Plus, you even need a coin flip for it to work.

We might see a Walrein ex in the set, but isn't that picture from the Team Magma/Aqua packs? You don't think they'll be TM/TA Pokemon in here, do you? Or Dark Pokemon? I wouldn't think they'd do that...BUT if they did then by god Dark Muk deserves a reprint.
 
Now, I am not trying to offend anybody, so f you get angry, please keep it to yourself, or just don't read what I'm going to say in the first place.

There won't be any TM/TA or Dark Pokémon in the set, and that's a fact. Cacturne reacts to Sidney's stadium, and it doesn't have Sydney in its name. Look, they're not reprinting mediocre cards in this set. Just cards that were very popular, like the Blazikena nd Wobuffet revealed. The theme decks will NOT revolve around SS Dusclops and RS Mightyena.... those cards suck. This set is NOT a huge mishmash of reprints of all old cards!!! Look at the revealed cards!!! They are almost all new (and imaginative), like Metagross and Absol ex. I have no idea why people have gotten the idiotic idea that EVERY OLD CARD will be reprinted!!! There is no evidence to support that!! Most cards will be new!! ONLY good cards will be reprinted, and my hypothesis is that they will only cards that were printed in Worlds decks. Crappy cards are not being reprinted.
Ugh, I cannot wait until this set comes out so all this mindless babble will stop. Then we will all see who's right.... me.

You're right. People basically just said "Quick Search" and picked a random card from their deck.

If someone who played the bird needed 2 energy on their pokemon, they just get a dre and play it. "oh,i need to devolve all my opponent's pokemon instantly. I think i'll just get an atm rock from my deck ..."

it was extremely broken. no doubt in my mind.
 
I 'spect that we're all in agreement on this. Plus, a good player can win using the cards on his hand, and the luck of the draw, not having to drag out EVERY SINGLE CARD they need to win.

I respect people's opinions, but you're wrong. I am a good player but I have horrible luck, therefore, I do not win all the time because I'm often stuck with no options in my hand. Pidgeot helps big time with this.
 
Yes, with some hands it's impossible to win, and Pidgeot DOES help a lot, but having to depend on it doesn't make people "good". If people are versatile with their hands, they should be able to win. People who have their game strategy starting with "get Pidgeot out" isn't very strategic.

Hopefully this didn't raise any tempers.

How can getting Pidgeot out not be strategic? How is it not strategic to KNOW you can get the ONE tech Rock when you need it, instead of trying to draw that ONE card out of approximately 30 cards. Especially now with the lack of really good draw.
And no, depending on Pidgeot isn't what makes people good, but good players tend to do it. Coincedence? I think not.

FYI, it is not strategetic to be able to devolve all of your opponents instantly in a single turn without any prep. Ta-dah! Your opponent's Blastiose ex with 4 energy dies in one turn. Broken, not in a good way.
 
So what's so good about the blaziken (What does it combo with)? (I didn't play pokemon when that blaziken was legal.)

Then complain about Rock, not Pidgeot. =/
 
Not my point. of course that was broken too.

and firestarter blaziken was good back then, but isn't much anymore. he's ok, i guess.

Read back up to what you said. Tell me how Pidgeot can even DREAM about doing that without Rock. =/
