The 2024 Worlds format feels insane when you cut out all the shuffling and set it to some epic Scarlet & Violet music.

Have people given up on this 2nd Gen 9 Mythical Pokémon being real? Because I think Terastal Festival ex is where this thing has a final chance to make itself known before we move on from things that are actually from Scarlet and Violet.

I don't think they'd do that for a mythical. Starters, sure, and for a new generation, but a mythical? Nah. The Pecharunt DLC is literally an epilogue - that seems to put a pretty tight bow on Scarlet and Violet. I'm sure everyone is ready to move onto Z-A.

Turns out the 2010 format STILL makes legends like it used to! Not going to spoil what was legendary about this game, but this video is as great a way to spend 20 minutes of your life watching a Pokémon battle on YouTube as any.
(And yes, this battle had stakes. The honor of Japan versus the honor of America.)

I don't hate playing against Mr. Mime, by the way. Unless I'm playing Rain Dance. Then I regret all my life decisions. Lapras just doesn't cut it after all the resources you burn trying to switch into Lapras and then preserve it if Mr. Mime successfully retreats after Confuse Ray or you use Water Gun.

Another Prop 15/3 player recommended using the Pokémon 2000 movie promo Articuno and Misty's Poliwhirl in Prop 15/3 Rain Dance as a solution to the Mr. Mime problem. The Articuno combines an ever-so-slightly weaker Freeze Dry with the benefits of potential bench damage (without the risk of damaging your own benched Pokémon) and lower retreat cost, while Misty's Poliwhirl is a powerful and versatile stage 1.

Basically, Stellar Crown.

Here's his Terapagos ex list.

And here's his Hydrapple ex list (Which I like more than trying to squeeze in Festival Lead Dipplin like JustInBasil did) (By the end of the video his guest and he agreed to replace the Night Stretcher for a Superior Energy Retrieval).

I'll leave you to decide whether Tricky Gym's or Robin Aisaga's Galvantula ex lists were more convincing. You're on your own with Lost Cinderace, but I'm worried it might be the most inconsistent performer out of the five (I can personally say that I would feel comfortable playing Hydrapple ex for fun. It's consistent enough and its power scales quickly enough to enjoy playing it. Hopefully that ages well).

I just realized the Hydrapple deck probably needs a Manaphy, too, so your opponent can't use Trifrost twice to Knock Out three Ogerpon ex. Yikes. That would be unfortunate.

I told you, dawg! I told you the Stellar Sylveon and Ceruledge cards were stupid OP!

Wait, has new evidence come to light?

It's called Pokecabook's deck listings.

Okay, I saw some Ceruledge lists (and a cool Dialga VSTAR list which I've begun testing), but Sylveon ex is still Missing In Action.

The selection of Owners we have to work with seems rather small. Is Pokémon hiding more from us?

... and Cyrus leveraged his business skills to amass a private army of a whopping 24 Pokémon (including Lv.X's and reprints, but who's going to argue with Cyrus at that point?).
Now we're in a situation where Pokémon is sampling popular characters from a variety of eras. If anything, I would say the better question is "how many Owner's Cards can we expect" than "How many Owners will be featured."
Charmaster:)
Charmaster:)
After all, both the volume of owner's Pokémon and the number of owners (9 versus 23) have varied (this is without even considering Japanese products like the VS set and the half-deck promos). We don't even know what the Trainer support for these cards, if anything, will look like.

Though I expect something closer to the Gym era in terms of functionality, written for a single Trainer rather than the whole gimmick, they could feel as powerful as Galactic's Secret Machines for all I know.

I just realized why the Giovanni battle in Pokémon Origins makes sense. You know, the one where Rhyhorn sweeps most of Red's team (even KOing Victreebel with Thunder Fang)?

Red was literally that one kid who trained his starter Pokémon and nothing else, just like the rest of us. Just look at his team in each battle scene of the show. They had to make him relatable somehow.
