Ruling Question on Robo Substitutes

[rogueimagination]

So this is a simple question but one me and my friend asked when we played a match earlier. If my active "pikachu" gets knocked out and only robo substitute is on the bench can I keep playing or do I lose because I have no more pokemon on the field?

Another thing sorry, If I can keep playing with just robo sub on my field can I just have four robo subs and keep putting them into play and never lose since my opponent cant take prize cards?

Thanks for the reponse. also Im new so sorry if I made a mistake or something

Once it is on the bench, it counts as a Pokemon, so you keep playing.

Robo-Substitute is a great stalling technique, but don't forget you can still lose by running out of cards in your deck.
