I mean, yeah, cards like Greedy Dice don't fit this hypothetical model of Pokemon TCG and would be banned/rotated as soon as the announcement for the rule change was made. This idea has been talked about here on Pokebeach many times before. Some people will think it's a good idea and some think...

I guess this is for when a Lightning Pokemon evolves or Ninja Boys into a non-Lightning Pokemon.

With XY-Evolutions left in, I would think Dragonite-EX would be a deck as well. I know he's mostly known for his supportive roll of recycling Pokémon, but his HyperBeam still hurts.

I love Choice Band in the video games! Glad to see it in the card game. I guess locking you into one move wouldn't be very significant in the TCG. Heck, half the Pokemon only have 1 attack (and most only 1 relevant attack).

I like DarkIntegralGaming. His decks are fun and he's a joyful personality.

Stage 2's that relied on a rare candy to evolve will be especially vulnerable. One attack from Espeon-EX could set you back a ton of resources (and keep doing so).

I have a question. What does everything think of running Giratina-EX with Double Dragon Energy? I like that it counts for Fairy energy towards Brilliant Arrow and Giratina provides disruption that is helpful for bad matchups (could slow down M Scizor if it can't set up Garbador in example), but...

No crushing hammers? Very interesting. I guess he wasn't fond of depending on coinflips.

This is what I could find: http://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/pokemon-events/championship-series-event-results/ And no results for Ft Wayne yet.

I was just going to ask this question. I'm pretty much an outsider looking in when it comes to the Pokemon TCG, but I plan on getting into it once GX's come out. Still, I would like to know more about top placing decks, but I haven't found event results in a while. I'm not sure where to look...

If you have an idea of what kind of career you want as an adult, make sure to make friends with people in that field. I'm sure you've heard it before "It's not always what you know, but who you know!". And it can be true in a lot of cases. Besides just getting dibs on opportunities, having a...

The show is designed as a hook for really young kids. It's not intended to be watched for longer than 1 or 2 generations. It would be nice if they made a whole series featuring a closer canon to the games and not featuring Ash, but we'll have to live with Pokemon the Origin and Pokemon...

Crystal Pidgeot basically carries my sentiments about having a side deck in Pokémon. I am of the belief that a side board is a very good thing in a tcg in that it smooths out rps style match ups and weeds out the worst offenders from vaiability. The Pokémon meta would be entirely different with...

So for this mechanic to work, you would have a 60 card main deck and say... a 12 card sideboard or "PC Box"? Pick 6 cards from your PC Box, shuffle them and then place them face down as your prizes. Honestly sounds like a really fun side event. And if you use the rule where you gain a prize for...

I'm sooo excited for GX's to be evolved and basic Pokemon. Hurray! Now all we need are basic evolving pokemon that are not complete filler. :)

An ability that gives your opponent more prize cards would have to be as equally challenging as pulling off a One-Hit KO, in other words, situational. And probably would be busted if it was easy enough to execute on your first turn.

To me, the biggest issue the Prize card mechanic presents is that there is nearly no true way to deck build around it. You cannot have more than 4 of any 1 card except for basic energy in your deck, which means there is always a chance that all copies of the key card in your deck is prized. So...

Magmar (Fossil) is a good card too. 70 HP, low retreat cost, low energy requirement, and hits Scyther for Super Effective.

You say 73 out of 100 matches featured a pokemon with abilities, but how many of them were simply Hoopa-EX or Shaymin-EX? Those two are so potent and quick to set-up, that even in the face of a Garbador heavy format, they're still worth playing. What about abilities that are key to a player's...
