Overconfident + Collector for Crobats + PokeTurns on T1 would be a bit too awesome :tongue:
 
Now that there have been prereleases, mind telling us what the 'magic reprint' was, PokéPop?

I never said it was "magic" or "amazing".
The sum total that I claimed was that it was a good card that people play in competitive decks.
And that is Smeargle.

People need to read better.
 
PokePop, you gotta blame yourself a little for the people's reactions.

Imagine this.

It's Armageddon. You come upon a family that barely survived within a cave. They are emotionally destroyed and a total wreck. You tell them that there is civilization out there; that people survived. Their ears poke up in hope that the world didn't come to an end and that there is something decent still left out there. You lead them out of the cave when the family is dismayed to see that the "civilization" you described is merely just a bunch of thugs and thieves. Of course, you didn't say that the civilization was nice and joyful, but just you suggesting that there could be something salvageable lead them to believe that that something would be of great merit.

Maybe you didn't use the words people are tossing out, but the manor in which you lit a candle in a dark room only gave people high hopes for redemption for the set.

I'm not saying you're completely to blame. I do think people read too much into your comments, but I feel you are partially to blame for stirring the pot of an angry community.

That's just my opinion.
 
I'll just say,, as a Vilegar player, I'm going to find a HUGE use for Mr. Mime!! :)

There are certain cards that are good in the set.
I'll definitely be buying singles...

But, all the reprints are worthless unless you're a collector...
Who needs the cards when they're still going to be here for at least 2 more years....

They could have at least reprinted some of the good cards from PL series or StormFront...

Oh yes, how I wish they reprinted the Cyrus engine, Sableye, Machamp, Uxie and Pokedrawer+...so we can have ANOTHER few seasons of donking madness -.-
 
Aren't we in a predicament?

  • Anything that helps stage 2 decks automatically makes "LostGar" more 'broken'.
  • Anything that helps non-stage 2 decks automatically makes SP more 'broken'.
So, what can they actually produce that wouldn't have players crying foul over it?

The broken decks are all low energy decks. Low energy with very little downside. There are effects that increase attack cost but they are all neutered by just how easy it is to clear attack effects. Smokescreen and all have potential but are just too easy to sidestep.

It is a predicament for the tournament game. I would not be at all surprised if P!P tried hard to get Japan to agree to Lost World staying out of the format.

We are living in interesting times.
