If they print some efficient pokemon and card draw, I'm sure we will have another dominant deck that everyone can complain about in a year.

I <3 Professor Juniper.
 
^Bahaha, you got that right. I hate hearing this stupid little boy at my league who complains that we won't have Garchomp C Lv. X anymore after rotation. He doesn't understand that other cards will come some day that will do the exact same thing as Garchomp C Lv. X.
 
@PikachewTofu Yeah, they pretty much replaced Phione MD with Spiritomb AR, who do very similar jobs. Hopefully there'll never be a Poke-Power that resembles Bright Look again though, Luxchomps are a pain.

Also, with the TCG Online having a load of SF cards does make you wonder if it'll be SF-on. It'd be great for me if it was, I only started collecting in '08 with Stormfront, and it'll be good to see Uxie go.
 
^the power has been reinvented as a trainer...pokemon catcher. also ive been wondering. if they make the Online TCG thing so you can face people online and they have the ability to use tokens you earn to buy packs...will they now hold tournaments online? that would be great although there would be no money coming in because no one would be buying actual packs...idk it could be dangerous for them
 
@catutie Is this Pokemon Catcher a B/W card, then? I guess as long as it's not doing damage to me, I don't have an objection to it.

Also with the idea of online tournaments, i think it would be great but Nintendo won't give you that sort of thing for free... It'll probably eventually mean that you need to be a "member" like in every other free online game to get extra content.
 
ya its in the BW set which isnt to far away so...ya i would be worried about it

you would just have to make an account while its free like now :p. they might charge for packs online...like 1 dollar a pack. or maybe just regular price. hmmm...but again that would cost them alot more money than use setting up live tornaments.
 
@catutie I'll just hope I pull a Catcher in my PR.

The tournament idea is definitely interesting... I wouldn't pay for it, though.
 
black and white will probably be the series that brings us to the same rules and set rotation as japan, and the cards on pokemon tcg online is not something you should base what the set rotation will be. BUT maybe they might change it so we lose a set every time we gain a set. so then it might be what people are thinking that when BW come out it would be sf on thus:
lose LA gain BW
lose SF gain BW 2
lose PL gain BW 3 (this is when the rotation would normaly be so then it would be RR on for the start of the 2011-2012 season).
this just a view on it with the online, online.
 
Brace you self.
I know this sounds REALLY crazy but I think that the rotation might be SF on. People did anyone notice that ALL cards currently in the Pokémon online beta are SF on (please correct me if I am wrong), and how all cards are changed to their B/W texts. ex: Plus power, and great ball. I think that this is no coincidence. This would be reasonable because while everything will lose uxie evolution decks will still have Magnezone (which SP won't have) and BTS will stick around. LMK what you guys think.
 
i believe after rotation most of the rouge decks now will become main stream

^what? most of the decks are HGSS on. did you notice that? there are like no other sets. sure they didnt want to make so you could get luxrays or face insane deck but things like bebe, other useful T/S/S wernt there. the whole engines were hgss on cards. i doubt very highly it will be SF on.
 
^I know but I have actually finished the Trainer challange and I saw some of the folowing cards from SF:
Luxury ball
great ball
FULL machamp line
Full Staraptor line
cyclone energy
Finneon
bagon and shellgon
charmander reprint
can you explain why they include these cards but not anything before stormfront, and the TCG press release says that they are going to expand the system they never said that they would cut sets.
 
this means that they are gonna give us the rest of the sets. one person got a accidentally glimpse into what they had and the tokens you earn you buy packs with. so im sure its just going to be earn tokens get better cards to move up in the ranks.
 
no but that would cut 2 sets. ALSO the same decks would be winning. thats not good for the meta. you have luxchomp winning tornament after tornament after tornament for 3 years? ya i wouldnt want to go to a tornament cause i would know i was gonna lose
 
that isn't nessarily true, remember 2 things 1 luxchomp would be doomed if it doesn't pull a cyrus, and 2 you also have to remember that BTS and machamp stay in the format, along with pokemon catcher and gyarados and vilegar
 
I think trying to draw a conclusion based on whats on the TCG online beta is silly...This is pokemon, a major corp. like pokemon wouldn't make such a silly mistake. It's all a guessing game, I am hoping Arceus stays in as I have only just finished my wormadam deck, and only need the level X's to complete my arceus deck so I will like to see some playtime with them :(

Sucks, only finally just got my SP Toolbox so I could make a dialgachomp aswell, probably going to be gone in a few months :( Oh-well, it's the only deck I am currently running (aswell as wormadam) so will get the most out of them while I can :)
