At this point, Pokémon won't make it to their 30th Anniversary. Unfortunately, the only way to stop the current problems of the card game, from scalpers to the supply chain to Nintendo/Pokémon themselves, is to stop buying the product.

Between Scalpors and distributors, I think that Pokémon needs to step in and restructure how they handle distribution and prioritize hobby shops. At this time, I am not looking forward to the next 30-36 months as Pokémon approaches its 30th Anniversary. If Prismatic Evolution is any indication...

Does this mean a potential Cynthia reprint? Unfortunately, there was no N reprint that we know of.

Speed Evolution Eevee is great, and makes me curious about how good the other Eeveelutions will be. Also, there are two great Ace Specs.

Pokémon is crammed for time, so Arceus ZA should be released with the new Switch console, and with the TCG already 2 of 3 blocks in there is nothing to go off of, after November, unless they follow the anime again. Gen 10 should be released November 2025. Both of these games are dependent on the...

Shrouded Fable is more of a player's set than a money set, due to the lack of big chase cards. Chase cards: Zorua Persian Horsea? Bewear? Loyal Three Normal/ex (Alt Arts) Pecharunt ex (Alt Art) Cassiopia (Alt Art) Earthen Vessel Competitive pulls: Pecharunt ex Okidogi ex Fezandipiti ex  Crobat...

First Ledian in a long time and they finally made it not terrible, probably won't see much play. Had they made it 120-130 HP remaining it may have had a decent niche in dragging up Pokémon like Greninja and Bibarel. Ledian may also be fighting for the spots in decks that Rabsca maybe taking in...

Great Tree is a nerfed/controlled BTS since it's an Ace Spec, but it has a better way to evolve, which is from the deck instead of the hand. Cyllene and Roseanne's Backup can recycle this Tree. (BTS had help from Uxie and Claydol, plus not being limited to 1 per deck to break the game and...

Finally, a Monkey trio that not only works with each other but are intriguing. Zoroark or Hypno (SIT) could have some fun with these.

Too bad Starmie wasn't psychic type as it would have had some synergy with Houndstone, especially the Ex.

The time-line has for Pokémon Live has moved up, PTGL will probably go live; start of Gen 9, announcement during their Spring Nintendo Direct, or announcement/reveal at World's 2023 (the latter two with an official date) for the official switch over from Online to Live.

Just make sure Lost City isn't out because KOing Zard can end the main strategy, unless a secondary strategy or back-up plan is used.

Aerodactyl V*, Goodra V*, and Giratina V* (speed, bulk, or power, respectively) are going to change how the game will be played. And, Fantina will be one of the major cards to keep track of, going forward.

Zarude --> 1* Game Freak loves introducing new Pokémon, but then make them underpowered or forgettable. Zarude is a great design of a Pokémon, but it has seen little to no success (outside Prereleases). Delphox --> 3*/4*/4-5* if it can get past its Stage 2 issue, Delphox could be another great...

Ninja Boy was an underutilized card, but when it did see play, it was game changing. Thorton, though not as flexible as Ninja Boy (pulling from deck), will see play and should be tech'd into every Arceus build from this point onwards. I could list plays all day for Thorton, but I want to keep...

Gengar - 3* Gengar is able to cheat the evolution process that hinders many stage 2 decks. Placing damage on one's own Pokémon (that isn't part of an attack) is not a common thing nor is it usually a good thing (Single Strike Decks are one of the exceptions). Placing damage counters can setup...

I didnt look at Blastoise's weakness, as I assumed the weakness was {L} so this would be a first for Blastoise, so yeah, Zekrom is a waste of space, and only work if I happen to have a Blend in my hand.

With the Terrakion and Groudon, I will probably use what i can get first (which would probably be Groudon), And Zekrom is my Water Counter, as needed, because water decks are going to be fairly popular with Blastoise are coming out, but subject to change.

Sure will, I just dont like joining people with the decks you hear everyday. I like trying to find a way to disrupt their strategies. And then find a way that not only works on one deck, but works on the majority of decks.

There are cards coming out in the next few sets that benefit, from large hands, Hugh Supporter, for example, and in Feb, Rotom comes out and craves large hands.
