A professor card, some pokéballs

[tutti]

I felt inspired Like usual, I took concepts from the video games and turned them into cards. The supporter is meant to reference the moment a player character chooses their first Pokémon; the pokéballs are ones I haven't seen in the TCG yet that I felt could be made into cards following their general themes.

Professor's Task
Supporter

Search your deck for a Basic Pokémon, excluding Pokémon EX, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterwards. You may play this card while setting up the game, before choosing an Active Pokémon. This counts as your Supporter card for your first turn. (You can still play this card any other time you can play a Supporter card.)

Safari Ball
Item

Search your deck for three Pokémon with the same name and reveal them. If you do, choose one of them and put it into your hand, and shuffle the other two back into your deck.

Repeat Ball
Item

Search your deck for a Pokémon with the same name as a Pokémon in play, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterwards.

Heal Ball
Item - ACE SPEC

Search your deck for a Basic Pokémon and put it on your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterwards. Instead of discarding this card, attach it to the Pokémon you found. Remove 2 damage counters from the Pokémon this card is attached to between turns. (If you don't find a Basic Pokémon, discard this card anyway.)

Cherish Ball
Item - ACE SPEC

Look at your Prize cards. You may choose a Pokémon you find there, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If you do, add this card to your Prize cards, face up, instead of discarding it. (Put the other Prize cards back face down.)

Some fun ideas here..

Professor's Task
May be a bit weak.. With Pokémon Fan Club in the format I don't see a reson to restrict this to non-EX Pokemon to make it balanced.

Safari Ball
Again, a bit weak. This can only get u a pokemon you have 3+ of in your deck. So if you play 4 of a Pokemon, and one is prized, you can only play 1 of theese before it is a dead card. May be playable if you play 4 of more then 3 diffrent Pokemon. But who does that?

Repeat Ball
This I like. It seams very balanced..

Heal Ball
Not sure about this one.. I think 40 dmg for each attack ur opponent gets is a bit much. And if it were to turn into a Tool once you attach it, it would not see play due to Surprise Megaphone.. I'd rather see it as:
Item - ACE SPEC
Search your deck for a Basic Pokémon and put it on your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterwards. Instead of discarding this card, attach it to the Pokémon you found. (If you don't find a Basic Pokémon, discard this card anyway.)During your turn, if this card is attached to a Pokemon, you may heal all damage from that Pokemon. If you do, discard this card.

Cherish Ball
Interesting, but not sure if it's worth the AceSpec spot..

Fun ideas is exactly the point - I realise some of these can be (or seem) weak, but my aim is to make them interesting

Professor's Task is a very weak card once the game has started. During setup is where it's meant to be good. If your opening hand has only pokémon you don't want to open with, you can use it to find the one you do want to open with, even if you don't go first. If you don't have any pokémon in your opening hand, you can use it to choose whether to mulligan or not, depending on whether you like the rest of your hand.

Heal Ball doesn't turn into a Tool - that's part of the design. You can't discard it like a Tool, and you can still attach a different Tool. I don't think healing 40 damage is too much, considering it's an Ace Spec.

Cherish Ball lets you get a pokémon, any pokémon, out of your Prize cards. It won't be a very good card for all decks, but for ones that can be wrecked by having the wrong pokémon prized it could see some use.
