Here I was thinking ex might be a chance for them to start reigning HPs in again, but nope. I looked at 220HP, though "Oh yeah, that was normal on a stage 1 in Sun & Moon," and it was on a basic. 220 HP on a basic 280 HP on a stage 1 330 HP on a stage 2 In addition to the numbers getting...

I always felt like the silver borders work better on some cards than others. On the whole, though, despite being thematic, the yellow could feel kind of silly, and I think a hueless silver border makes more sense. It works better with anything, and, like they said, the artists probably design...

I'm ecstatic that they're bringing back the old "ex"s, though this will make terminology even more confusing than distinguishing between "ex" and "EX". New mechanics are interesting, but new letters at the end of Pokemon's names were getting old, and it's nice to see them getting some more use...

Honestly, I love Energy Loto no matter what. It's just one of those fun, nice consistency cards for deckbuilding. The fact that it's in a format with a lot of special energy is a bonus!

Moltres + Scoop Up Net + Wyrdeer V

I'd be kind of conflicted if it were supporting one side militarily, but just helping civilians survive through it is good, and I guess that isn't really political. Exactly- it seems to be more of a charity than anything involving the government. As far as I can tell, the closest they've been...

Bibarel and Bidoof are getting a lot of love! Pokemon is officially recognizing them as dumb HM slaves between the YouTube videos and appearances in the new games, and they're respecting them and developing them into characters like they did with Magikarp.

Hey, question- can Amazing Rare Reshiram be good if Manaphy is dealing with Urshifu, it's hitting 300 with Choice Belt, and Flaaffy deals with the electric energy requirement?

Cynthia looks great, and they're mostly pretty good, but I don't think I'd buy them. I really like some of the art on these, but a lot of these products- even the simpler stuff- often feel too complex to fit nicely on a card. When I'm dealing with a whole deck, a box, and a playmat, these...

I believe you're right! Though I'm not sure how I feel about seeing what I think are Muk's teeth.

Ooh, wow, those are some interesting goings-on in the world of ongoing goings! Sounds like LP was pretty careless with big purchases: he probably just got a recommendation for the best card-judging services or something. Stupid authentication companies... Sounds like they decided to just take...

It's supposed to be a different card: they meant to give away the other Victini, and I think they want the situation to be equivalent to having given them the correct card (just with some funny, non-legal thing accidentally received). It also has the wrong printing information (most importantly...

Crimson Invasion Regigigas? That one was pretty cool. It's kind of hard to design a card around Regigas' signature traits, but that incorporated them pretty well. Yeah, pretty cool art. It looks like GOSSAN is a new artist to watch out for, yet to make his debut in English releases. I believe...

Yes, but you can not KO VMAXes with two energy on Eternatus VMAX or something else good. If I'm putting five energy on it without crazy acceleration, I expect it to do something special, but it just has a kind of normal big attack.

All that work, and Aggron isn't even OHKOing VMAXes. Granbull might get a VMAX, in which case its attack will be a fine backup choice, but I don't have great hopes for these cards. Kind of nice to see Granbull on a card again, though.

That Corviknight looks straight out of Ghibli, and the cabby seems pretty happy to somehow get to gigantamax it.

These had better not all be as rare as normal secret rares, or this will be a pain to collect. I like seeing a bunch of these characters, though. Feels like it adds to the Pokemon world, to see them show up with their Pokemon. We got Mustard on the other Urshifu and Victor on the Calyrex for...

Darkness Ablaze was released in English well into 2020, so I imagine a lot of people haven't gotten them yet because we couldn't actually go to many events to use them. I have zero physical Crobat V right now. It's also nice to have more ways to get a high-demand card, and the art looks great!

I love the Blissey V, Oranguru, and Pikachu VMAX! Seeing Nurse Joy with some extra character and life to her is great.

Everyone else: Ooh, a card that might help bring out all that potential in Amazing Rares! Me: Hm, yes, Smeargle. In all seriousness, I don't think this will help Amazing Rares that much becuase it basically only sets one up, and it's a supporter that ends your turn, so it would be tough to try...
