Also, note that they only have 90 HP. In any other game, this would mean "they're glass cannons" or something else that justifies having low HP. In the Pokemon TCG however, such Pokemon have about the same attacks as their 110+ HP brothers, and often even weaker. Of course, not saying there...

I'm probably just nitpicking now, but that movie name just sounds weird. It pretty much sounds like "The Cocoon of Destruction... and, uhm... ah, of course! Diancie plays a role in it too!". That's kinda like calling the anime "Pokemon: XY and Ash".

Great to see the decklists :D Unfortunately, the decklists are quite disappointing. Don't get me wrong, it definitely has some gems, like (besides the legendaries) Aromatisse and Slurpuff among some others, but the decks themselves don't look very fun to play with due to all the missing...

RE: 120+ 'XY' Scans [1/24] Often I wish that they used more creativity when creating these cards. For instance, Starmie gets a benefit from having a Psychic energy attached. So why not make Staryu's attack "(same effect) unless this Pokemon has any Psychic energy attached to it"? Yeah, it are...

To me, it just looks like Yveltal wants a hug.

That the Japanese text is better is just an illusion: it looks better because we can't read it. This makes it look more like an image and less like text. Mega Blastoise is still crazy, but fortunately not as powerful as Mega Venusaur. Easier to counterattack = won't survive as long = deals less...

You're sorely underestimating the ease of getting a Mega Evo out. It's easier to get out than a regular stage 1, and you don't need to build a deck entirely around a certain basic to evolve it to stage 1.

Yep, the game's over. Ending the turn instantly is no suitable drawback for this thing. It's a simple stage-1 after all, and what do you get for skipping a turn (correction: skipping 1 single attack. You can still do anything else, after all) and having to give away 2 prizes when it dies? A...

"We've heard your concerns how overpowered EX Pokemon are, and we see how much they push away non-EX Pokemon from the meta, so we gave them an upgrade (Mega evolutions) to make them even more overpowered" I was planning on concluding this post with a fitting meme, but none of them are enough to...

Who else thinks that Ninetales will appear in the Fennekin deck? Both are foxes, and all 3 decks will use Fairy Pokemon so on a "starter deck vs starter deck"-level it also makes sense. Meloetta is surprisingly weak. Brilliant Voice is alright for a non-EX Basic, but very lacking for an EX. And...

Ugh... First ice cream, now whipped cream... "But why do you hate that and don't hate those piles of sludge called Grimer and Muk?". Simple: Grimer and Muk are mutated toxic waste, which is a good theme to spawn a monster from. But... mutated ice creams??? mutated whipped cream??? Even in a...

I think the "not allowed to attack first turn" is a good thing. Going first already brings so many advantages: you have card advantage, energy advantage, response advantage (you get to react on the starting board first), etcetera. Not allowing items the first turn is not enough to offset that...

I still think Honedge is a bad name, and Doublade is pretty much as well. I fully understand the meaning, but it just doesn't roll off the tongue. The evolution makes sense (wielding 2 swords instead of 1 makes sense, just like how it makes sense that Magnemites stick together like magnets and...

What if... GF is trolling us? Chespin: Grass/Fighting by becoming a bulky fighter like Tepig did Fennekin: Fire/Fighting by gaining the ability to punch (and also kick more easily) Froakie: Water/Fighting by gaining long limbs with which to bypass the enemy's defenses for easier...

They don't need to be "in your face!" with it. Less is more. For instance, could you just imagine how hilariously ridiculous Girafarig would be if they made it bipedal and made it look like a witch-giraffe?
