Looks at Charizards.... Nah! ;)

I agree with you on the winning cards, the thing is, this was the responce of the then design team to keep other cards relevant. Something they do not have to do anymore if every card and evolution line is now rewarded by the option of running a relevant GX variant and non-GX variant. --...

Thanks for the in depth thoughts, in respect to the time you put into this I'll just give a vision on this, note that I do not dissagree on all points or in many cases at all. Initially the EX showed up as non-Legendary Pokemon aswell, if anything I would say they where an homage to the Base...

I really like GX and favour their design over EX because the GX still matter for evolution lines. Personally I am a huge fan of the evolution line concept Pokemon has always brought and I believe it to be one of it's unique traits as a cardgame. As such I also hope that GX will be the new EX and...

The price certainly is outrageous. I hope they will do a promo for it because while it's true that other card games have insane pricing also we still have to remember that Pokemon tries to cater to a really wide audience but one that is largely 10+ and not so much 16+ as is the case with MtG...

Fantastic card and great looking sleeves. It's a wonderful day to have this revealed :D

Good option! I think the Transdemensional Beasts will be functional colourloss Pokemon in the first wave but have colours nontheless. With Necrozma GX being the prime example. Another thing they could potentially do is give them all the Ability to have one Poke-power/ability build in...

This is indeed also always an option :). And while we are at the subject often the case for many TCG. As a good partner card can make or break decks. Another example of this from the latest set is Kiawe. If it wasn't for that card I would not have given Volcanion much thought again after the...

Reprints like this are legal but you have to be aware of the latest wording and ruling because that's the wording and ruling that applies. There are more cards in the format who have this. Rare Candy for example. Cheers,

Hehe, good warning I guess. But yeah, this is one of the most gimmicky cards in the format. Would be fun to make this a whole topic about the most gimmicky Pokemon cards in general, this one is not alone :p

Do you mean in relation to Volcanion/EX/Turt GX etc? Because in that case the awnser from me would be yes. Kiawe allows for the deck to set up faster as any deck and this is it's biggest advantage. It's also a disadvantage that it runs completely on Basics most of the time but we see that the...

Could be cool! Would have guessed they would have gone for the Lycanroc and variants but Zoroark is the same type of cool fox/wolf/hound Pokemon.

A simple scan would be more helpful as the pictures are. Cheers,

I am suprised how much you seem to be capable to fool yourself. Alolan Ninetales GX is not easier KO´ed as Greninja BREAK. The fact that it costs two prizes remains an optional choice. There are two Alolan Ninetales and both have a different functionality. As the deck runs Greninja BREAK...

If you think Tapu Lele GX and Shaymin EX serve the same function as Alolan Ninetales GX the laughable part is that you decide to respond at all with the notion that Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales will not work for your deck. The GX weakness is as relevant as you choose it to be. The deck does not...
