DMTM just posting to let you know that you made a mistake in your new article.
Let's start with the first and obvious application of this card. It needs to be put on an Evolved Pokémon that has Colorless attacks that require at least 3 Colorless Energy. The first and most obvious are Colorless Pokémon. With this card, you can quickly power up these attacks and hit your opponent for big damage. Chansey comes to mind as a good one for this. Grab one of these and one Metal Energy for 70 damage and you take 20. Losing the Energy in this case is not that big a deal since you are most likely using Chansey as a stall mechanism.

But for Boost energy to work you need to have an evolved pokemon. At last time I looked Chansey was a basic Pokemon not evolved.

Heh, I can't believe I didn't pick up on that while reading it.

All I noticed out of the ordinary was that he was using an Expedition card next to an article about Aquapolis, but decided it was probably only used for aesthetic purposes.

Ah, but you don't know about the Baby Pokemon that is coming out in Sky Ridge: Luckie, the Baby version of Chancey!

Just put out a Lucky, play a Metal on it, and next turn evolve to Chancey and play the Boost!
Voila!

I think it is being released in early April. Say, April 1st, or so...

I thought you were infalllalaable!
I thought you were this great thing, and now it turns out you are just human like anybody else!
I'm crushed. The fans are crushed. Orange Soda is Crushed Orange Soda!
I think it should remain that way as a sign to all that you are not what you appear to be! Even though you rarely appear to be anything in particular.
I think everyone should stand up and say We Demand an apology!
But will we get one. NOOOOOO! You apologize. HEH! Fat Chance!
You will probably just come on with some lame excuse or change the way Boost Energy works so you can look like you knew what you were doing all the time!
I for one will not stand for it! I will not stand by and let you make a mockery of Pokémon from your high and mighty pedestal you egotistical maniac!

Calm down Gengar you and I both know that you wrote that section of the Article. You should know that Chansey is not an Evolved Pokémon. I told you to pick one that would work with the card.

Apparently DMTM was right about one thing in that article:

Need to get Gengar away from the Sneasel/Slowking box. It's a bad influence.

Calm down, calm down.
Is the DMTM/Gengar relationship
like the Smeagol/Gollum one?

"Slowking" on them)

Oh this is just great! Just fine! Now he has turned Orange Soda against me. How can you all be duped by his Charm his wit his overpowering Charisma!
He will just brain wash you all into believing his claims!
I didn't write anything! I can't write Shadows don't write.
You must believe me. Stop him stop him before it is too late.

Sure. Sure it will start with a simple article. But what's next! Pretty soon he will be telling you he has two Beagles and a Mutt!

DMTM: When Aquapolis first came out, Daniel and had numerous conversations about Boost energy--and in every single one for the first 2 weeks, I kept developing decks that included putting a Boost energy on Chansey!!! Each time, he corrected me. And then in the next conversation, I was putting another Boost energy on Chansey. I was mainly focusing on Aquapolis Chansey--who later would evolve to one of the Blissey after he did some battling with this Boost energy. My favorite scenario was using the Boost energy for a first turn knock out of a baby with the Aquapolis Chansey.

Chansey looks perfect for Boost energy. Don't you think we can make an exception?

Well - if it makes you feel any better, here is a way you CAN use Boost Engery on Chancey

Turn 1 Attach a Mettal to Chancey and have a Dratini on the bench- and may as well have a Bulbasar.

Turn 2, Breader Dratini into Light Dragonate (Mirical wind) Breader Bulbasar into Venusar (with harvest Bounty) Evolve Chancey into Blissy.

Attach a Mettal Engery to Blissy, and using the harvest Bounty, attach a Boost Engery as well (since boost engery is a comming into play effect you must attach it to a evolved pokemon) Then You can Hyper Devolution Spray the Blissy (use the one with the comming into play power so any dammage done to you will be more easy to remove your next turn, with 4 Hyper devolution sprays and perhaps the Statum Undersea ruins you can keep doing this awhile- nead 4 blissy in the deck and town volenters and a dark dragonar out and you have a never ending blissy dance) Anyrate- now the boost engery will stay, unforantly the mettal also loses its effect, and if you turn off powers you would have to discard the boost engery. So- I would only say this is effective if you dont get a harvest bounty venusar out- on turn 2 you can get a boost engery and a mettal engery (or whatever) on chancey.

I would really like to apologize for Gengars behavior folks. He really has an issue with taking responsibility for his actions.

As much as I would like to there will be no errata for Boost Energy. I just can't justify changing it to cover up Gengar's mistakes.

Look it's a good joke! [ROFL]

Indigo: a blue vat dye obtained from plants (as indigo plants) b : the principal coloring matter C16H10N2O2 of natural indigo usually synthesized as a blue powder with a coppery luster.

So you see where one would usually say "you cannot fill the shoes" of someone. I said you could not DYE the shoes. It's funny!
It's HAHAHA funny! [Big Grin]

Why is no one taking me seriously! You all are making fun of me and not taking this breach of trust inflicted on you by DMTM seriously! [Mad]

He misused a card in an article. Oh the humanity! [Frown]

Oh Sneasel says: Growl! Growl! MEOWER!

(whatever that means) [Roll Eyes]

I had to let her out! I needed allies!

I would have gotten Slowking but all he does is stops me from using any of the equipment around here!
