Hapu looks like a fantastic Bill's alternative, I like it a lot!

That Cherish Ball is pretty incredible, however, I'm pretty excited to see the world's metagame with zero universal search options, I think it'll be interesting to see what effect it will have on a day 0 metagame!

That's typically what Himeno is able to do so so well IMO, the Dewgong from Unbroken Bonds for instance, however, I'm also looking at the dimensions of Misty herself on the card and I'm starting to think that this was done with purpose, given how the two figures compliment one another.

That Misty's Request made me audibly gasp when I realized she is standing in a clamshell, that's adorable! I just NEED to see the FA version! Who knows if I'll actually get a copy, but I HAVE to see it at least. Dark City is also a nice looking card, can't wait to get an FA version...

Kagemaru Himeno is my favorite illustrators, responsible for masterpieces such as Manaphy SL, Raichu BUS, Reshiram LTR, Clefable PLS, Houndoom COL, Aron TRI, Chatot MD, Mew SW, and Celebi MT (I have a page in my binder dedicated to these nine cards). He did a Lapras holo back in the ex era too...

Since we're only getting eight, the ninth must appear in some other type of product. Legendary Birds and Alolan Raichu/Raichu both feel like cards that could go into different products, the other two aren't nearly as marketable. If I had to take a guess, the legendary birds seem prime for a...

M Sableye & Tyranitar's GX attack on its own is ineffective, but also a strong win condition that your opponent MUST be aware of. Its normal attack is very VERY good. Umbreon EX saw a little bit of play, Guzzlord GX was interesting, but both of their attacks struggled because of their overall...

As much as it pains me to say this, while Zoroninja is strong in expanded, its also struggling. I don't feel confident it has the consistency to be a Tier 2 deck. However, with these new Dark Type GX's being revealed, I see a new deck threat. A Darkbox TTGX deck WILL, in my opinion, become...

Dark Transfer: Dark Edition Hydreigon DRX saw some play too!

Given this is Halloween, Gourgeist is probably gonna be its partner. Now, hopefully its a good dark type, or a crappy grass type (theoretically increasing a "quota" of dark type tag team gx's)

I've just returned to the world of Pokemon and have begun collecting cards that have interesting or unique mechanics (e.g. Lost World, Power Spray, Fliptini, Regigigas Lv. X, etc.), cards that have contributions to the competitive game, or cards with artwork I find appealing. Anyway, this...

I sure wish. At the very least, Wishiwashi GX is a basic pokemon, and a water type. On the other hand, Kommo-o is a stage two, with decentish attacks that will get WORSE in september thanks to DDE rotating. Nonetheless, lets give a round-of-applause to TPCI!!! Not only have they correctly...

OH MY GOD FIELD BLOWER!!!! We finally have a tool removal card in the form of a trainer, haleluyah!!! Also, sableye really isnt that broken... like, not even close to being broken at all. Its certainly gonna be annoying if its played, but its not at all broken. Especially since theres still...

Wow, awesome

Great card, great artwork too, I want a playset for sure!
