I'd say my main grievances with the TCG Standard in the recent times are:
ADP being totally broken
Having one or multiple charizards come out in every set and nearly all of them are very strong. It's just legit annoying to constantly see the same pokemon in so many good decks all the time...
Love the new energy
Not a huge fan of the V Card Style, I think GX was a bit better. Looks like they did something weird with the colors like oversaturated or brightened them up or something. Can't put my finger on it...
Love that we're getting general energy power. So annoying to see Fire...
Correction: Most painfully bloated set in history
God I hope they fix this with worldwide releases. I wanna be able to get a pack and not enter the lottery of having a 1/20 chance of getting the GXs I want... If a pack comes out in Japan focusing mostly on Dark pokemon and I want to make a Dark...
Ye definitely with all the super powerful moves, naturally resists should be higher
TBH I wish weaknesses and resists were completely removed in favor of types being distinguished by their compatibility with items and abilities and just dictating a general playstyle rather than being like...
As would I. Would love for OP fire supports like Welder to go out of rotation as well... but it'll probably be the usual 2 years for them to cycle that stuff out...
Oh I thought the V gimmick was that they had no weakness or energy cost lol. Is that how they revealed Solgaleo and Lunala GX when the SM TCG cards were first revealed?
Really hoping the theory on TCG expansions being worldwide in Gen 8 is true. Tired of seeing cards months early and then getting this massively bloated packs where I have to open 100 to get the few GXs that I want...
