    I'm fully expecting a Full Art Aerodactyl V and I am so ready for it.

    Shiftry from ‘Lost Abyss’!

    The fact your opponent wouldn't get a prize card when Shiftry bails is awesome. It has the damage of the Self-Destruct attack, but it doesn't actually do that damage to itself. It just gets removed from play after. Let's not forget it has a built in way to bring up sitting duck pokémon as well...

    ‘Build & Battle Boxes’ Are Changing for ‘Brilliant Stars!’

    I mean, the "40 card pack" seems like it's probably meant to be the deck you play with... or at least is suggested. Obviously you'll still be able to modify it with the packs in the box. However, if this is basically a pre-built deck... that likely means some of the 40 cards included will be...

    Get Mew and Jirachi in BDSP, Encounter Legendary Pokemon in Ramanas Park, and a Major Software Patch!

    I'm fairly certain every pokémon region is like this. In Gen 1 a guy had a single Machop stomp around Vermillion City for years making a footprint for the shop he never built. It seems pokémon society is deeply entrenched in needing pokémon for everything. As for the "theme park" thing being...

    Photos of 25th Anniversary Golden Box!

    I have to agree overall. I like the fully golden cards... but the rest is definitely a bit much. I'm sure just finding a 3rd party selling the cards alone wouldn't be much cheaper than buying the whole thing though. :/ I may end up passing on this over all too. I'll just get the other 25th...

    Full English Reveals of ‘Celebrations’ Products Reveals New Cards!

    I think there's a good chance none of the promos are going to be tournament legal. The only reason I say that is because "Prime" isn't really a mechanic per sé. Because of that, there isn't a real reason why Dragapult would be banned from tournament play outside of "just because." Play-wise...

    Mewtwo / Greninja / Zacian V-UNION Special Collections Revealed!

    My playmat isn't nearly big enough to handle these.

    Full English Reveals of ‘Celebrations’ Products Reveals New Cards!

    If I'm able to find these, my wallet is going to suffer. I really need all of these promos. I think bringing back these old mechanics (even if they aren't tournament legal) is the coolest way to celebrate the history of the card game. I just noticed the Dark Sylveon isn't dual type. A little...

    25th Anniversary Pikachu Cards Revealed, Including Surfing Pikachu V, Birthday Pikachu, Pikachu V-UNION!

    The Pikachu V-Union, and V-Unions in general, will look great in those little 4 card binder pages.

    Duraludon Gamestop Promo for ‘Evolving Skies!’

    I assume the employees just gave them out as they saw fit or whatever after the event period. That being said, hopefully they don't what they do what they do with the left over video game code cards... they just trash those when the event is over despite the fact the codes are still good for...

    Pokemon VMAX, Sword & Shield Cards, Meowth V MAX Special Collection Revealed!

    Does anyone else hate how the card game interprets the vg mechanics? I didn't care for the fact Z moves were interpreted as GX moves. I just never got why the new pokémon with those moves couldn't have been "Pokémon-Z" or whatever and then had Z-moves instead of GX. Now we have these "V"...

    New Pokemon Officially Announced, But It's a Glitched Image!

    I see a lot of talk about Sirfetch'd probably being crap, however without knowing stats or if it has the very real possibility of having a Gigantamax form, that seems a bit premature. Are chances good that it won't be some top tier threat? Oh yea, for sure. However, a good bit of the hyperbolic...

    Worlds 2019 Pikachu Plush Revealed!

    I just looked it up, it's not terrible. However, pikachu is just wearing a cape and a wrestler belt in front of a logo that kind of looks like the UN with some legendary silhouettes. I like this art better, although I am biased given I'm a natural history curator at a museum and...

    Worlds 2019 Pikachu Plush Revealed!

    Wasn't Pikachu just wearing a cape and a wrestler belt last time?
