In a perfect world, they would re-release Elm in EX Dragon, so we can all put our old Genesis Elms, and even our beloved Holo Best Elms into our decks again.

In a more realistic world, they re-release Elm as a Supporter and ban all old versions of him.

In an even more realistic world, Elm rests in peace until the end of time and is never reprinted.
 
Another thing I just remembered. Remember when we talked about Dragonite ex in one of the posts, and some of us were puzzled about the Colorless weakness. Well, I found out the answer. Recently, I did some more research on how certain Pokemon's weaknesses and resistances actually work. After taking a few hours of studying the Gamboy game and the Trading Card Game, I finally found the answer. The reason why Dragonite ex has a weakness to colorless is because DRAGONS ARE WEAK TO THEMSELVES. When a dragon attack does damage to a dragon-type, it will add weakness damage. Therefore, it would make sense for Dragonite ex to have a colorless weakness because it is to represent a weakness to other dragon pokemon.[/QUOTE]

Didn't we figure that out a while ago.
;)
Dragons are only weak to Dragon and Ice. You would think they could have some kind've sub-type like Ice, Poison, Ground. They could still use the basic energies like Water but it would make things a lot more like the GBA game which appears to be their goal. Then again it could make things confusing. If they did this they could simply make Dragons weak to Ice. Or they should somehow have a Dragon sub-type and make Dragons only weak to Dragons.
Still balancing the TCG is still most important. (Grins at the fact someone is weak to Pidgeotto) :thumb:

Why not just bring back Oak instead of Elm?

Because Oak is the most broken card created, and the sickest drawing engine in any Trading Card Game ever.
 
League Leader Terry: then try to show a Mtg player Oak. I've done that.

Turbo Blastoise: you're right about Cleffa being very good, but it's nowhere as broken as Oak. Oak gives you full deck control and can be used several times every turn. But everyone has different opinions.
 
Oak wouldn't be quite as good in Magic as it is in Pokemon. After all, in Pokemon, some decks can easily empty their hands to play Oak without ditching anything. Magic decks can't do that as easily, so Oak would come at a cost. Bill, on the other hand, is about the same thing as one of their "Power Nine" cards. Ancestrial Recall, I think.
 
Ya, but in Magic the easiest way to get a card it to play is from the graveyard(discard pile) so Oak would be way to powerful.
 
Discarding cards can be an even bigger benefit in Magic than in Pokémon. Oak in a Psychotog deck, for example, that would be sick.

But we should get back on topic here. *Coughs* Dragon it is.
 
83 cards? OK, so I miscounted the numbers! :p

Now personally, I wouldn't doubt that the other 14 cards will come from ADV4/EX1. I'll bet that NOA knows what NOJ has been cooking up in ADV4, in the sense that NOA wants ADV4-in-English to be strictly Team Aqua/Magma cards while NOJ doesn't mind the mix.

Uhm... something like that.

Really? I thought they'd be Safari Z...I mean Vending Cards :lol:
 
I wonder if some of the unknow cards in the set will be like Sandstorm ones, just something we have not seen yet. :thumb:
 
I dunno...I still have the theory that Nintendo is trying to catch up with its counterpart in Japan. So, Nick15's idea that the extra 14-17 cards are from ADV4 is very plausible.

Included in Sandstorm: 47.
Included in Dragon: 14(?).
Total: 61. (Feasible amount...)

Hope my post isn't redundant.
