Guess I was wrong about deluxe meaning it comes with a radiant, even though there's a Fire deck with mons in the exact same rotation block as Zard. We can't have nice things.
Obviously these are bad but what pisses me off the most is that they changed the logo?? Like they moved 'deluxe' and...
The 'deluxe' part of the battle deck includes the fact they come with a Radiant right? Assuming they kept that up and didn't double up on Greninja there's only so many ex-es they could choose. Some Fire type with Radiant Zard would make the most sense imo
Also, did the squishy box ever release...
This is really cute! But I 100% expect no kids to be able to have their picture taken with the Pikachu and Eevee mascots because they refuse to learn that these things are going to be overrun with scalpers if they don't put some kind of system in to stop that from happening
Donk decks become significantly worse (yay!) but Jirachi EX loses one of its only niches, and I'd argue that was probably one of the only good EXs we had (besides randy Megas that Mewthree played I guess).
If they don't ban it I think they would at least have to change the way its ability works...
Never been a huge fan of the white backgrounds, but the little ripple is better than nothing I guess.
Also Zardwatch 2023 - we're on 2 unique Zards and 9 unique Zard arts in the SV era, following 10 unique Zards and 26 unique Zard arts in SWSH
Garb is cute, though they keep printing these 'when you play this Pokemon from your hand' abilities like we still have Scoop Up Net and they aren't just going to leave a dead bench space (honestly I think they'll prolly reprint Super Scoop Up sometime soon)
I guess it's something that doesn't translate over very well. I was going off the Serebii translation which had it as 'Sumo Surge' (though in reality Amp You Very Much is better than that, even if the pun is a painful stretch).
Amp-le Thanks? Amp-preciation? Gene-ratitude? Iunno
What is Amp You Very Much even a play on, it doesn't sound anything like 'thank' lmao.
Shoulda called it Amp-Utate or something. Or just kept the Japanese name. Whatever.
This is like actual cartoon villain stuff, plotting to take large amounts of cardboard from a children's museum exhibit and resell it at 300x its value
Though as obviously in the wrong as these people are, this sort of thing has happened multiple times in recent memory and at no point has anyone...
