Basically all I see here, is you complaining about all the cards you lose to. The only unbalanced part of Pokemon is the first turn rules. All the cards that you said 'need to be banned' can be, and are, played around every day.
I also find it funny that you want Juniper banned, but then want Stevens advice back. Same with Plus Power gone, but want Strength Charm back. Strength Charm still gives that 'Magic Ten' that allows Reshiram to OHKO anything with 130 Hp.
Junk Arm is far from broken. You have to discard two cards. It has a cost. It's very balanced.
Yanmega is good. I'll agree, but it's far from broken. Sure, it can attack for free, but it doesnt do THAT much damage for free, and it's not always possible to the same hand size. It even limits itself on how many cards it can play a turn if it doesn't have Copycat/Judge. Also, IIRC, no one was complaining about G-Dos being good. Matter-of-fact, I'm pretty sure people were saying it sucked. Yet it did 90 for free. Hmmm.
Seeker would actually be better if it didnt pick up your opponent bench IMO. Alot of the time it allows your opponent to pick up that Pachi/Shaymin/Blissey Prime/ damaged pokemon.
Also, WHY in Gods' name would you WANT power spray back? That was the most frustrating card I've ever played against. Power Spraying an Uxie would win you the game, you know how much it sucked t get an Uxie power sprayed, then have nothing for 3-4 turns.
Lastly, I don't really understand all the Catcher hate. It disrupts your opponent. So? It's good, sure maybe even 'broken' but it's not really that big of deal. Both sides can use it, and it still takes some skill to play. You have to pull up the right card in the first place. I can't tell you how many times someone's catcher'd up the wrong pokemon, not hurting me at all. I feel like the worst thing Pokemon could do is start banning cards. If you don't like what's being printed, and think things are 'OMGZ TO POWERFULL!!!!1!!!' stop playing. You play to win the game, and you play the cards that win you games. Enough said. I'm tired of seeing everyone complaining about so many things. If you don't like it THAT much, why are you even here in the first place?
Like I said, these thing would bring skill back to the game. Its not about losing to the cards because everyone loses to them, even you. This thread is about trying to bring back skill to the game, not to see how many times I can junk arm a plus power to get a KO.
