I just observe and then report what I see.

Pachi makes bad decks amazing.
Catcher makes great decks better.
You can take Catcher out of all of the decks that it's currently in, and none of those decks would really feel the pinch.
Take Pachi out of ZPST. Or out of virtually any Mangezone variant. And you generally have bad decks.
Pachi makes the game all about speed. If you can't survive a ZPST turn 1, you can't survive in this metagame.
Catcher merely does what Luxray, Reversal, POW!, GOW, Double Gust, and (to lesser extents) Cyclone, Circulator, and Warp Point have done forever. It just does it better than all of those.
If you wanted to choose a Trainer as your BCIF, it's Junk Arm without question or hesitation.

That and it has some other good cards too like PONT and Ninetales.

Noble Victories is by far the best set we have. The basics we got are ran is so many different decks not to mention the best energy acceleration in the game AND the best supporter in the game. Eviolite makes decks like 6 corners and Electrode possible. Victini adds a lot of creativity and play-ability to a plethora of otherwise bad cards while doing so in a way that makes them less luck reliant.
HGSS gives us Tyhplosion. Collector.
Triumphant gives us Magnezone. Junk Arm.
Hardly accurate.

Pretty much every Prime in Triumphant is playable, at the very least. The worst one is Celebi, and that's part of one of the more dominant decks in Japan curently. The list? Celebi, Electrode (CaKE), Gengar (Lost World), Machamp (DonChamp), Magnezone, Mew (MewBox, counters), Yanmega. If Triumphant isn't the best set we've currently got, it's pretty darn close.

both of these decks can now survive with eelektrik. even before eel, magnezone could play jirachi over pachi and be okay.
i think noble victories has to be #1 or at least 2. it changed the format too much. you have eviolite, kyurem, cobalion, terrakion, virizion, super rod, chandelure, eelektrik, N, victini, durant, etc. besides from the dragons and maybe a few trainers and other pokemon, BW is not that stellar. i'll give hgss credit because it holds our format together. also, CoL is definitely up there, because many cards were reprinted and are very playable.
In retrospect, I probably would have put NV 3rd, above BW Base. But, it really hasn't stood for enough time, some of these cards could just be hyped by their 'new-ness', still. Let's wait at least until states to see if they have a lasting impact on the Meta.
A fair point and an interesting contribution no doubt, but we're not exactly looking at pack quality. Promo or not those cards are still part of that set.
