i imagine that given they let marnie lapse in favor of iono, they will probably also let iono go away to be replaced by another very similar but not identical effect.

Hate a format with tool removal. Makes the defensive ones so bad when they not even that powerful to begin with, and even worse removing two. It shouldve been that the one using it has to remove a tool as well and just to remove 1 or something. God I hate that card
probably, my point was mainly that N's exact effect will likely not be reprinted again because Iono's version is better for the game
I'm glad there aren't that many playable cards in this set for competitive players.
If you've been playing long enough you can just re use your old air balloons and tool scrappers.
The only cards that look like they'll see play:
Tirtouga
Reshiram and Zekrom EX
Eelektrik
Emboar
Jellicent EX
Genesect EX
Brave Bangle
Hilda
Ignition Energy
None of these are going to hurt your wallet by buying singles even if the prices are inflated a bit.
Anything else I'm missing that's an absolute must have?

I don't care how bad they play at least Sawk and all my 5 favorite gen 5 mons got cards
Good. People wanting nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia are crazy.
Nah, you got baited. I don't think anyone believed it was coming back unironically considering Iron Thorns, the strongest ability locker, needed to be a 2-prizer, in the active position, and only locked rule box pokemon.
Mostly just memeing and hyping a little since Garbodor has a ""fun"" history of warping the meta.
Are you inbred?
This honestly is the most disappointing set I've seen out of the whole Scarlet & Violet era. They definitely caught legit players' attention with immediately showing off the best Zekrom & Reshiram ruleboxes they have gotten and making very good non-rulebox Pokemon, but if there was a set to round out a lot of the stuff the past two years have set up this would have been it. Even as a Unova fan there's basically nothing outrageously good to play outside of the mascot legends, Genesect ex, and a few non ruleboxes. I also want to point out, no stadiums??? What???
It also confirms that the Leavanny line is TPCi's most hated set of Pokemon and it is actual insanity it still does not have a rulebox or a good attacking non-rulebox. Also baiting us with Unfezant ex from a Pidove over a year ago was a dick move, cause we're probably not gonna get it at this rate.
What a joke of a final set before the Mega Era. Hurts especially bad when many of the special sets in this era also gave us a ton of viable cards.

"fans" of some pokemon just can't help but air their victim complex from the rooftops it seems. be happy that a pokemon you like is even able to get a rulebox card at all. it is very silly to moan about this when leavanny is at least capable of having a standout card eventually, while pokemon ruined by dumb crossgens like lickitung are doomed to be nondescript stepping stones in the shadow of inferior, but ultimately canon end stages.
and we already have a good unfezant in the format, generally you should try to avoid treating things like this as a scoreboard to constantly track unless your goal is to simply have something to complain about for the sake of it.
thats a really terrible thing to say, and for what reason? I asked a tcg question, and expressed I didnt like a character in the game?
They dont always release stadiums, sometimes they dont release special energy, etc.
Meh third or fourth time Ive seen that doomposting of " omg worst set comepetitively?! ". Ive seen it before for temporal forces (the decks from here werent spectacular at launch), surging sparks, and obviously 151
I mean, after the Durant fiasco, do we need to expect a lot? This is a lesson to us to not put High Expectations in this set.
Also, N's Plot is just..
it's just Double Dawn, my friend
The whole "Oh it's just adequate there aren't enough shiny things for my attention span." Back in my day a secret rare was a regular card with a number outside the set. Those were wicked gets. Now they throw them at you, and everyone whines that they don't have enough. They shouldn't have any
They should just let us play 2 dawns a turn instead
Lol I was talking about it from a competitive standpoint. The set is hardly playable. Of course it’s probably the best set yet for collectors.
151?
