If you checked www.pokemon-tcg.com today you'll discover that the site has expanded again. Right now its just the basic structure but the site is going to have the following features soon!
Community (This will probably mean message boards and a chat)
Complete Pokémon-e TCG: EX Card Database (Good we are still going to keep having oracles coming)
Interactive Games (Woot! More silly internet games to get bored on)
New Articles
Downloads
Deck Building Tips
How to Play Tutorial (That should be handy)
League Information
Premeire Tournament Information
And More!
But right now the site has these features already!
Home Page/News Page
This is just telling about the current press releases and such.
Collecting Page
This page will have the upcoming database, but right now it has the checklist you can print from.
Strategy Page
Right now it has Basic Rules, Expert Rules, and their first Deckbuilding Article. However it looks like you can set up an account soon which they will keep track of your EX:R&S collection so that they can (or you can) build some decks from.
Cards Page
Somewhat similar to the collecting page.
Community page
This page has a survey to complete which I bet will decide what Community functions the new site will have. I recommend that you complete this survey (click here).
Downloads
Wallpapers! I'm going to decorate my room with them!
Resources
This page contains links to a parents page, the Nintendo Consumer Service page (on the nintendo site) links to other Pokemon sites and wizards site. Plus recommend locations on where to buy the cards.
Other parts yet to come: Learn to Play, Leagues, Organized Play, and International Play.
The ultimate cool part is that they finally released the 2on2 rules online:
2-on-2 Battle Rules
There's a new challenge in the Pokémon trading card game, and it's 2-on-2 Battle! Each player has two Active Pokémon on the battlefield at a time, doubling the excitement. The game is played like a regular game of Pokémon, except for a couple of rules listed below.
Starting the Game
You and your opponent will each need your own deck of 60 cards. If you have at least two Basic Pokémon cards when you draw a starting hand of seven cards, put two Basic Pokémon into play as your Active Pokémon. You can start the game with only one Basic Pokémon in play, and still play 2-on-2 Battle, if that is the only Basic Pokémon in your hand. When a player has two Active Pokémon, he or she may choose up to four Basic Pokémon cards from his or her hand and put them on the Bench (where the Pokémon wait until they become one of the Active Pokémon).
Only One Active Pokémon?
Even if you only have one Active Pokémon, you can still continue 2-on-2 Battle. At any point during the game, if you only have one Active Pokémon, but still have a Pokémon on the Bench, choose a Benched Pokémon to go into the battlefield.
Attack!
During 2-on-2 Battle, you choose one of your Active Pokémon to attack, and then select the attack you want to use. You choose one of your opponent's Active Pokémon to attack, and finish the attack normally. Attacks that refer to "each Defending Pokémon" will affect both of the Defending Pokémon for that player.
Retreat!
As in the basic game, you can only retreat once per turn, even if you have two Active Pokémon in play. Choose wisely!
Pokémon with Special Conditions
When both of your Pokémon are Asleep, Burned, Confused, or Poisoned, you can make an attempt to recover or avoid damage in whatever order you would like. When one of your Active Pokémon gets Paralyzed, it will be out of action on your next turn, and then it will be okay again. You can still attack with your other Pokémon.
Trainer Cards
If the Trainer card has an effect on your Active Pokémon, you choose only one of your Active Pokémon for that card's effect (unless the card tells you to apply the effect to two or more of your Pokémon). For example, Potion allows you to remove two damage counters from one of your Pokémon, but it would not allow you to remove one damage counter from two of your Pokémon.
Special Energy Cards
When a Special Energy card is attached to one of your Active or Benched Pokémon, its effect is only applied to that Pokémon.
Baby Pokémon
When your Pokémon makes an attempt to attack an opponent's Baby Pokémon, you flip a coin. The rule for Baby Pokémon is applied only when your Pokémon tries to attack a Baby Pokémon.
Benched Pokémon
You can have up to 4 Pokémon on your Bench.
Well that is it for now, but for future community sake please complete the survey.

Top player in state of Wyoming (Hmm. Could have something to do with the fact that the other four players in the state haven't played in over two years?)

Go figure! Right when I spend 20 minutes write this, another topic (LizardOTC's) is put up at the same time.
MODS: You are going to have to decide which one gets locked cause mine has more content but his was just barely put up before mine (I was writing mine when his was posted).
