I'm just waiting for the Game to go from a top 5 BDIF, to a top 15+ BDIF.
GET THIS INTO YOUR HEAD: THIS IS A LUCK DEPENDENT GAME. IT IS NOT FAIR AT TIMES. IT HAS BROKEN CARDS (UXIE, SP ENGINE, ETC.). GET OVER IT.
Probably when I was the one guy in the thread who said "I like SP".
OK. We remove donking. Absolutely no possible way whatsoever you can donk. However, you still get bad starts, and get run over, like the games Yoshi mentioned.
By the time you make this game "fair", it isn't even Pokemon. It's more like Chess.
Real easy. You get a crapload of crap sleeves, proxy everything you're missing w/ bebe's search.com (<3) get a group of friends, lock yourselves in a room for 3 days with enough food, water, and space to sleep. That should be more than enough for you to test in a 15 potential BDIF format!!Just out of interest, how do you test in a format where there are over 15 potential BDIFs? Like, how do you build all those decks?
They will never mid-season rotate buddy. Call me on it when it happens and I'm wrong, but I don't think they would make people drop there decks and go for everything new that quickly.im hoping for hgss on and mid season rotation and yes donking in hgss on is possible just hard hitmonlee vs mareep col tyrogue vs any baby
Then again our current format needs hardly any testing either but thats because of the fact that 2/3 of games coem down to opening hands anyway.
I'd really like the format to end up RR-on or AR-on, it just makes the most sense, otherwise Catcher breaks everything. I would also REALLY like a mid-season rotation because this format is getting stale.

Just in these last few sets we've seen cards delayed until the next set for seemingly no reason (half of LL being in Triumphant, half in Call of Legends, as well as that whole Unleashed/Undaunted mess), it wouldn't surprise me to see these "game breaking" (as I've seen numerous posts refer to them as) cards like Pokemon Catcher and Max Potion pushed back a set and end up in whatever format we have for 2011-2012.

Remember what the point of the Rotation is? for pokemon to make money. So when they take out our biggest source of Drawpower, Uxie/ Uxie Lv. X, They are going to Implement another draw power "supreme" (like claydol, he was supreme)
So my Prediction is, in the set right before a Rotation that takes out LA/SF (I think the new Rotation will be PT on), We will have the Privilege of using another Draw power major.
On the Same note, The biggest decks of really any time, which in my opinion all lay in SF, are being rotated probably, so we should be on the lookout for Some Really über playable cards soon. if not soon expect to see a BDIF card come out by Next rotation, (August?)
This is all the opinion of a Player who has only gone through one Rotation However.

No way. They didn't have a rotation two years ago so that they could have a bigger card pool. You are saying they are going to rotate out what would be the equivalent of two years of set? No way. I expect PT-on. It makes the most sense. However I could see them doing RR-on. Dialga G Lv. X is a big reason I expect it to be PT-on. Without it Vileplume can just run wild, not that it isn't already doing that.

I don't think that the first set to any new block of cards (FRLG, DP, PL, HGSS) has ever been broken up in the way Triumphant or other sets have been. I could be wrong on that one though. I really don't think P!P will break up Black & White. In the time I've been playing, the times they've held off on releasing cards and broke up sets have actually hurt the game more than it's ever helped it. To me, it seems like they blindly release sets according to a business model rather than in the best interest of the competitive player.
There's a business model behind it? I thought they'd just make a ling list of cards that need yet be printed, then threw darts at them, picking out those that they hit until they hit an acceptable number for a set, print those and call it a day...
Haha, nice. Well, we've seen them pull this stunt quite a few times. I remember when Great Encounters was released, they held off on printing Phione, Call Energy, and Bronzong (among others), all of which could have been used to help decks set up better against GG. Notably, the Bronzong/Empoleon deck ended up being a nice counter to GG. Lost World was held off until Call of Legends. And can anyone tell me whether or not Medicham ex/Battle Frontier was held off to be released in Emerald?
As a competitive player, it looks like they're dead on when it comes to holding off on the release of cards that would actually change the game. I don't know why they do this.
