Waiting for the realization that Victini V + Dedenne GX + Blacephalon GX + Welder can knockout out a 300hp Pokemon on turn two without beast ring.
How?
Victini-V's "Fire Spreading" is an
attack,
not an
Ability. Or did you mean "Player 2's turn." and not Turn 2 e.g. Player 2's first turn? It isn't really that impressive a combo in the case of the latter, is it?
I am not a fan of the Pokemon V mechanic. Pokemon is just making the same things over and over again. First there were Pokemon ex, then Lv. Xs, then EXs, Megas, BREAKs, GXs, TAG TEAMS, and now Pokemon V. I'm not sure everyone will agree with me, but I think that Pokemon is trying to rip us off. I'm just waiting to see where this is headed, but right now it looks like a black hole for Pokemon. Although, that Victini V does look nice.
I hear ya. I honestly wouldn't mind the recycling
if it was done well, in a balanced manner. If Pokémon V are following the what we
assumed was the original purpose of Pokémon-EX - a way to represent powerful Legendary or Mythical Pokémon in a
balanced manner for the TCG - I'm only annoyed the powers-that-be haven't been thinking ahead. By now we need a catch-all term for specialty mechanic Pokémon, or at least those worth more than one Prize. Something less clunky than having to print "...Pokémon-EX or Pokémon-GX..."
and that takes into account future mechanics (like Pokémon-V).
What
really frustrates me is that they keep going back to tricks that do
not produce a well-balanced TCG. Like I said, gimmicks are acceptable when they are well done. However, the Pokémon TCG's core mechanic of Evolution has
never been properly balanced,
especially in an organic manner inherent to the game mechanics and not enforced through Evolution support or awkward rule changes.
