okay, i'm sure most people in the Pokemon TCG world have been fed up with Pokemon USA, or even the Pokemon Company in Japan. they have mad so many mistakes over the year. Some people hate the cards, the moves, how broken certain cards are, and the list goes on, and on, and ON.
Over the years, Pokemon has expanded exceedingly, from humble beginnings to the over 400 pokemon in existence today. at first, Pokemon began with a simple sketch from Ken Sugimori, which soon expanded to 150 pokemon, which Populated Kanto in Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow. Then later on, they decided to make a card game for Pokemon, a phenomenon that invites millions worldwide to play competitively as well as casually, for fun and for prizes.
Then, Pokemon threw us another game, "Pokemon Silver and Gold", and we ate it up. with the successes of the Trading Card Game up to that point, Pokemon decided to expand it, employing the new Pokemon from the Johto Region as well as new ideas and innovations into the Card Game. Later on, Pokemon Crystal was made, which had subtle changes to Gold and Silver.
Further success was in store for Pokemon with the release of Ruby, Sapphire and later on Emerald. This was the dawn of the EX series. This era brought in the Pokemon from the Hoenn Region, with fan favorites such as Blaziken, Groudon, Kyogre and Salamence turned into Cards. This brought in a new innovation, EX Pokemon. Changes were made to the format of the cards and it expanded even MORE!
Then came the Diamond and Pearl era came to the Pokemon Trading Card Game Community. Diamond and Pearl came with much hype, along with it's Video Game on the Nintendo DS. Pokemon fan sites such as PokeBeach and Serebii scoured the internet and even posters and magazines for information before DP came out. As as result, pokemon such as Arceus were known to fans long before Pokemon.com told us :lol:
Diamond and Pearl brought us Pokemon Level X, Normal Darkness and Metal energies and the different classes of trainers. This brought to us staple cards such as Claydol, Uxie, Azelf and Roseanne's Research. Soon came Platinum, which came out with the Platinum Vdeo Game. further additions were made to the already expansive Pokemon TCG Rule Book, such as the introduction of SP Pokemon. SP Pokemon seemed to run rampant with their strong, cheap attacks and their interesting combos. one thing led to another, and we end up here, at Supreme Victors. Now it's obvious that Pokemon made many mistakes during their climb to fame. And now i come to the topic of this article, a list of Mistakes Pokemon made over the years. i will list things that i know of, and if you wish to make any additions please reply and it will be put in here. After i reach a hundred or so things in my list, we'll stop taking anymore things to put in the list.
With no more delay(after dragging y'all through a gigantic monologue), i give you the list(in no particular order), and don't forget to contribute to this list!
1. Donks. it has been discussed right here on Pokegym that everyone hates getting a t1/t2 Donk. It takes the fun out of the game and well, it comes at a cheap win.
2. Choice of cards to play. there are fan favorite Pokemon out there, Pokemon such as Charizard brought us all JOY back in the day. But what has it come to in the Modern Game. We had a TERRIBLE Charizard earlier in the Diamond and Pearl Expansion, and Charizard G F.A.I.L.E.D. Some may argue that it's good, but it just takes too long to charge up.
3. SLEEVES! so many mistakes are made when making these sleeves. Poorly made sleeves are just one reason to hate them.
4. Rogue Decks. Some decks run rampant when they first came out, such as Gengar and Rampardos. G Decks also ran rampant with their speed and good damage and combos.
5. Prize Payout. not too long ago, an Article came out criticizing people who wanted More and MORE. though to some extend i agree with this, i'd have to admit the prize payout for simple tournaments could be better.
6. Some Pokemon have not been made into cards in a long time. Examples such as Wobuffet.
heheheh, that's all the time i have for now, please reply so we can get this article done
