XY: Champion

[David Thomas]

Hey everyone! I spent a lot of time on this Create-a-Card forum under a few different usernames (IronPika, Parco Folgore) a few years back, and I've missed it! So, here I am. Check 'em out and leave comments!

This set is based around some of the most powerful trainers, and the closest to a governmental head Pokemon regions have, the Pokemon League Champion! So, like my old posts, I'm calling this a set but I'm really only going to be posting the EXs, Mega Pokemon, Trainers, and a couple of full Rare lines. Here's the list! (Cards will be in my replies to this post)

Just so you know, Mega Pokémon can't use the attacks of their pre-evolutions. Those two wouldn't be able to do anything.

But even without any attacks, Mega Gardevoir seems far too strong. For the cost of one attack, you can put your entire discard pile back into play.

Blue, on the other hand, seems a bit underwhelming. You don't get any control over the next flip, you just know ahead of time what it's going to be - and since flips aren't too common to find on important effects these days (Hammer and Catcher are getting flipless supporter versions), this isn't going to make that much of a difference. I'd let the player choose the outcome of the next flip.

 

[David Thomas]

Wow, I had no idea! Thanks for the heads up, I'll change them now.

Now that it won't be the only thing M-Gardevoir does, I'll change New Moon to balance it.

Thanks for the input on Blue, too. I've always thought the idea of just knowing the outcome of the next coin flip in a trading card game was really cool, but you're right, it's a little underpowered as a Supporter. What do you think of it as just an item card, maybe with an effect that says you can't play another until the first's effects are resolved?

 

[tutti]

As an Item it could see some use. I'd still give it some degree of control, maybe you can choose whether to keep the result?
