Dunsprace total 41. I've gotten 98 on that Machoke at work game. I beat Driving Corasola. I almost beat the record in Hold Down hip hop. I got 2000 or so in Kinglers day. I got 7 in Rapadash's dash. Butterfree's Flower Power 4700. 123 In Jumping Dodoro. My all foil deck is finished. "I've got floating engery." "I've got counter productive Powers." "One heart can make a diferance."

The Supporter Trainer idea slows down the game, but there are at least a dozen or more decent tourney-level cards in this set. Here's my top 12 list: 12. Tyranitar - a 120HP monster that can be very powerful if you have enough support cards to keep it alive longer 11. Prof Oak's Research - will replace Prof Elm in Modified someday 10. Poliwrath - the next SWARMING deck 9. Prof Elm's Training Method - makes evolution decks much quicker 8. Wartortle - a one-attack Magcargo/Entei killer 7. Metal Energy - finally, a cheaper (non-holo) version of a card that was nearly impossible to get other's to trade away 6. Mewtwo - poor man's version of Espeon 5. Strength Charm - make bench attackers truly FUN (until the current ruling changes) 4. Venusaur - when combined with Meganium, a very efficent attacker 3. Vileplume - great power and low cost / high damage attack, and is a great combo with the new Butterfree 2. Copycat - makes your opponent think twice about letting his hand get too big 1. Pokemon Nurse - suits any low energy Pokemon very well Also, here's my list of top features in the set: 1. Babies now cost something to retreat. This is a nice counter to those who abuse the free-retreat / must-flip-to-attack features of babies, thereby making the game more strategic and less luck-based. 2. Many of the attacks have colorless energy requirements. This makes multi-colored decks much easier to use. 3. Generally, most stage 1/2 Pokemon have higher HP. 4. The introduction of BURNED makes status-attacking strategies more interesting. Finally, I disagree that collectors don't like reverse foils. I'm a collector, and I LOVE collecting reverse foils. As a player, I also LOVE "throwing down" that reverse foil Oddish. -------------------- Proud member of Team PokéParents - we play Pokémon with our kids!

Come on...a free Full Heal...it's re-goshdarn-diculous. Plus no retreat cost and an alright attack.

I'm currently playtesting a Vileplume/Butterfree combo that does very well. -------------------- Proud member of Team PokéParents - we play Pokémon with our kids!
