Ruling Random Questions

Is pokemon played like chess played by touch move? E.g. I made a mistake by attaching an energy to the wrong pokemon then I take it back then attach it to the one I wish to attach it to. Some players allow me to do so and vice versa.

Another question. If I have an arcanine and my opponent a roserade. Asuming he poisons me with 50HP left. I use inferno onrush, killing his roserade for a last prize. Then my arcanine dies of poison and arcanine is my last pokemon. Does this trigger sudden death or I win as I killed his roserade and won first?

For the arcanine question:

You win the game cause you drawed the price in your turn and then the game will end the Poison Damage comes beetwen the turns.

For the other question:

If your opponent let you do it you are lucky but if you played Supporters or used any Poke-Powers after yiu attached the NRG you can't get it back and if he don'tlet you change your mean you have to accept it

Yeah, his english is too good. Let me rephrase it into worse english.

It's up to your opponent.

At the moment you release your finger from the card, as in, it is attached and you dont touch it anymore, I WILL prevent you from replacing it if the stakes are high. Your opponents may do so. It may not be great sportsmanship, but if the stakes are high, they may nail you on any tiny mistake, given the fact that if you let the card go, you played it.

You won. You KO Roserade, taking your last price. The poison happens in between turns, which is a step after the KO.

Yep, it's all up to your opponent to allow the takeback. Probably not going to happen at a high-level tournament, which is why you should stop and think about your moves before you make them. Just don't stop for too long, or you might get flagged for stalling.

You won. You KO Roserade, taking your last price. The poison happens in between turns, which is a step after the KO.

Also yep. You would only go to sudden death if you both won simultaneously. Those wins aren't simultaneous. They occur in different phases.

So your turn and between turns are totally different phrases of the game right? How about this. I attack with arcanine with 50HP left but in this case against a sandslash with Spike Armour. I damage myself till 10HP left then spike armour hits me. It does happen after during my attack so sudden death will trigger right?

The key phrase on Sandslash is "even if Sandslash is Knocked Out". That means it triggers on the damage event itself, which is during the attack, and thus would resolve as part of the attack chain.

So both would be KOed simultaneously, and it would go to Sudden Death (assuming both players have met the same number of win conditions, of course).
