urgh.

Why the Lv.X's have to leave?

They're AMAZING. I liked it.

But yeah I guess, its allows me to have more options ;P

Out of all of the Lv.X's we got are usually a part of a Sinnoh dex or 4th gen, except for:

Blaziken
Charizard
Flygon
Mewtwo
Rayquaza
Salamence

Lolwut, those other Pokemon thats in first 3 gens got like no love, but all but 3 are Pokemon-SP, which is in fact, a lame concept that PCL have thought of. I hope that concept will not return, ever. :/
And keep in mind that those non 4th gen Pokemon are popular in some ways.... Hahaha

I liked the Lv. X mechanic. Too bad they won't continue it in LEGEND, it should have lasted as long as EX pokemon.
 
Gardevoir isn't 4th gen either. ;)

I kind of like the idea... the 2-part Legend is an interesting idea, and it will finally force use to use decks that run NO LV. X/EX's, and it will make it easier for the people with limited spending money to get into the game.
 
I don't think anyone's considered how much the values of the 'Great' and 'Legend' Pokemon will be. Since Great Pokemon don't need to level up, you're going to need more than 1, unlike a Level X. And if you want to do 4-2-4 Gatr, then you better save up now.
 
I don't know why people compare Legends to Lv. X. They're completely different. Great Pokemon are the Lv. X replacement.
 
The details may not be exact, but this is what I gather from these new cards: (Sorry if I don't make much sense, haven't played in a while, just collected.)

Great Pokemon kind of combine what was best about Ex's and Lv.X's, but they don't have the Lv.X rule, or Ex rule. You also don't need to level up. They can evolve from other Pokemon.

Yes, these are the successors to the Lv.X cards. But in some way, I guess you could say the Legend cards are too, just more rare/flashy.

Legend cards are a new type of card. Basically, since they are two cards, they work almost like a Lv.X. (except you can't use attacks from a previous level.) But instead of laying down say, a regular Lugia first, and then having to leveling up, you just need to have both Lugia legend cards in your hand to play it. If the legend cards go the way I'm guessing, only legendary Pokemon will be made into Legend cards. All other Pokemon would be Greats.

IMO, this is going to work out well. The game is simplifying itself again somewhat (attacks and powers. weaknesses) but at the same time, innovating with the great and legend Pokemon. Which I actually like. I'm excited and planning to get back into the game.
 
Who is aying there taking out lv.X. Great pokemon could well ... could just be well great battling pokemon like the name but use a different holo. I't has not been confirmed that lv.x's are gone and I doubt they are. Also I bet the new uxie and snorlax use the same holo style.
 
^lol... there are no levels on the cards no more so how are going to level up a pokémon that has no level?

but I liked the lv. x's... if they had no plans to make more lv. x's following HG/SS, they should have released gen II lv. x's before... i wanted to see a Lugia lv. X...

Explain to me how this could possibly help? Now you need 2 of each secret rare card. This will just make things harder
 
Am I right in thinking that the Great cards are the replacements of Lv X's and the Legend cards are replacements of the Secret Reprints, in that they are more for show than actual playing (though that may not be the case)?
 
We do not know yet if Pokémon Lv. X are being removed or being continued. When the complete set is released, we will know.
 
How they got away without releasing a ttar lv.X I don't know... there better be a great one quick.
 
Great cards will probably replace Lv Xs, but I'm still mad they never made Dragonite Lv X, or a Lv Xs for any of the Kanto, Johto, or Hoenn starters.
 
I'm going to miss LV X cards, but what if LEGEND cards are for a separate set of rules for the Japanese only and they continue to make LV X cards, I highly doubt it, but you never know...
 
I will miss X's. I thought it was a great concept. I don't like the new mechanics.

Well, there was Blaziken FB and Charzaird G...
But, LV.X is a great mechanic and should be kept.
 
I personally never liked the Xes. Just by "leveling" up a Poke, it becomes infinitely stronger. That's how a 6year old finishes a Pokemon Gameboy game; he loses a battle, he trains some more, he wins. Also it's simply ridiculous that some Pokes (I'll say Leafeon and Luxray as examples) wouldn't even be remotely playable without that extra level. Sure, the mechanic worked, but in theory it's just stupid.
Great Pokemon sound lame as well. If there's no special rule on them, then just call them regular Pokemon.
 
Lv.Xs were a silly mechanic that just didn't make much sense to me. Not only were they just expensive, they just added several new advantages, to the point where any non-Lv.X deck besides Beedrill unplayable for competition.
