I played pokemon back when the Jungle deck first came out, then put the cards away once Neo Genesis hit. I've never known a Pokemon to come up THIS OFTEN in debates about rules. Well, the Birthday Pikachu was interesting, but nobody gave it any real weight.
1. It is stated in the rules that an ability can be used once every turn before an attack. Does this mean I can use Versatile and then an attack, or is Versatile the attack?
2. This is one question I've never seen asked. If I have something like a Voltorb that does 80 damage for self-destruct and the special condition says "also does 80 damage to Voltorb", that would knock Voltorb out. It is a text-book self-destruction. But, if my mew is active and Mew uses Voltorb's self destruct, does that mean Voltorb on my bench is knocked out, or does that mean that I apply 80 damage to Mew? So Mew can self-destruct without knocking itself out?
3. When Charmeleon uses Flamethrower, it says to "discard one F attached to Charmeleon". So if Mew has three energy, does Mew discard one F or does one F need to be attached to Charmeleon to discard?
I haven't played the game in many years and finally pulled out my old Jungle/Fossil/Base decks and played against my friend. She destroyed me with her modern pokemon, so I bought a Legendary Treasures booster and there was Mew EX, full-art holo in all it's beautiful glory!
Thanks.
I'd post scans if I knew how to.
