Did I miss the clarification? I'm assuming the ruling is "this is the first time that all effects are NOT cleared when the Pokemon is brought to the bench", but I didn't see that spelled out.

Hey Kim -- any more information on the prereg? I just noticed that it's a couple days after the date listed on the page (9/21) when I went to register.

The problem I have with this logic, given this particular incident is that TPCi has already chosen to assume that role themselves, as pointed out repeatedly in this thread. The inconsistency is baffling, and deeply concerning. If TPCi wants to issue a statement that says "From now on, we're...

The coverage of the top cuts this year was fantastic. I was pretty much glued to my laptop for far too long over the weekend simply because I could watch so much that was going on. As a competent TCG player and weak VGC player, I thought the commentary was great -- a great improvement from...

Might as well follow up since I've now bought two of the new ETB: As expected, the sleeves are a cool addition. Haven't used 'em yet, but they look good. I like the orange damage dice. Not sure yet about the randomizer. Glad to hear the opacity'll be a bit different in the next one One...

Bought two boxes today. First box: Virizion EX FA, Scoop Up Cyclone Second box: Virizion EX, Virizion EX, Palkia EX FA, no dividers So quality control might be an issue (as others have said), but I can't complain about my pulls at all.

I agree that the deckbox was useless (although I *was* able to trade it for a couple bags of Canadian candy to someone who wanted to use it as a joke), and I like the dice -- I'm always looking for interesting dice -- but: I'm probably in the minority here, but I kinda hate the theme-deck...

zeta, you've shown a lack of basic knowledge of probability and statistics over and over in this thread. Please stop. Expectation is a basic tenet of probability. Expectation is not a guarantee. Expectation typically comes with a percentage attached, and I believe that Ian has already...

Frozen City ...waitaminit...

Two questions: If WC-deck cards are allowed, will cards that were reprinted in later sets (Power Keepers has a bunch of the Pokemon as reprints) be legal? What, exactly, are the first turn rules? The linked rulebook says "first person doesn't draw", but I'm getting conflicting information...

More changes this past week:

What I like best about PokeGym is the ability for the community to take every high-quality thread and completely derail it with a tangential argument. What I like best about the Elite Trainer Box is that TCPi seems to be listening to and responding to feedback, which will likely cause me to buy...

I was going to necro the other thread, but apparently it's so old it's been archived. There were a few changes to the Compendium that went live this week sometime:

One more change, just showed up:

Spotted a bunch of changes today: (This is also listed under the "Victory Star" rulings) (That one is also repeated for Allergy Panic) (That one's repeated for Overflow as well)
