what's your opinion?

How is that too powerful? The first attack is shut down by WP/Unown G, I don't even want to start on the second, any deck that plays Scramble will love this card (Which should be 90% of decks)
I think that they did something to make them to powerful in the DP sets. I thought theve changed dramatically from EX series (and not only because of weakness and 2 Prizes)

Yes because every deck that plays Scramble can have something worked up on the bench after a T2 Gallade. The thing with Gallade that sets it apart from most other things, is you can't counter it unless you add cards to your deck ONLY for that. Adding in 2-3 scramble and 2 unown G cuts 4-5 spaces, which cuts consistnecy and speed against other decks. T2B eats alive G&G counters most times due to sheer speed. It limits what you can use to very stric guidelines (with Magmortar and Bane helping). obviously, unlikey starts can end G&G before it begins, but assuming they get a decent set-up, there isn't much you can do.
Anyway, I liked being a n00b that played his favourite cards better then having no real options as a competitor.
Yes, they're too powerful. But it's business. Keeping people to convert to DP players from EX ones. Sad really. How tragic cards can be...
But there are some trainers from base set{long time no see, gust of wind and old pal, energy removal} that are better left banned.

It's all luck. You don't know what 7 cards you're going to get in your hand, so decks aren't really becoming too powerful. Let's look at Gardallade. You may have the "greatest" deck of all time and get the worst hand ever, playing a rogue Gengar deck with a Gastly, Rare Candy, Scramble, and other good stuff in their hand. Point proven?
I find it quite amusing that Pokemon in this current format are vastly more powerful than their older counterparts and yet many players still believe they are useless in Unlimited.
That said, yes, decks are becoming stronger compared to the past. That is part of Nintendo's design as they are trying to shorten match times. Notice how they added fossil counting as prizes? Boom, no more stall decks. Or how the HP and attack damage are disproportionate compared to the Base Set days? Potions, Pokemon Centers, and other healing cards are now pointless.

They are becoming overpowered.
It's very true. Compare the Base Set cards to current DP ones, and they're SO much more powerful. It's almost as if they just want you to follow their new sets because they're stronger.
Hence, business for nintendo. Follow the DP sets or suffer.
