Hello. I would like a ruling clarification on the proper interplay between Politoed in Furious Fists and Mew EX in Legendary Treasures. Politoed's King's Song Ability states "Ignore all Colorless Energy in the attack cost of each of your Poliwag, Poliwhirl, and Poliwrath's attacks." Mew EX's...

Ah, thank you for correcting me! It's been so long since I played via the old rules. Now I want to find my old Game Boy Color and my Pokémon Card GB cartridge and relive the memories of Base, Jungle, and Fossil, before EX Pokémon, Supporters, and all of these modern additions.

According to the Tournament Rules and Formats page: More information at http://support.pokemon.com/FileManagement/Download/285237e1e815473dbac38d3a368f84a2

IIRC, the confusion rules were changed when the EX Ruby/Sapphire expansion was released in 2003. The old confusion rules required a coin flip for retreat, and the energy cost for the retreat must be paid before flipping the coin (there was no way of getting the energy back if the coin flip was...

I share a similar opinion to many of the posters. After a long hiatus (until I started seriously getting back into the game in January right before XY came out, I haven't kept up much with the TCG metagame since sometime after the EX Fire Red/Leaf Green series), I started getting back in the...

It would be interesting to see if ORAS results in changes to game mechanics and also changes to the card design like HGSS, or if it's another expansion that doesn't add dramatic changes to the game like the old EX Fire Red/Leaf Green expansion. My guess is that it would be the latter; recall...

I also support an Apprentice forum here. It would make it much easier for people to find battles here, and it would also give an opportunity for people to playtest and have fun.

I know Apprentice inside and out and use it to make decks; in fact, I like the interface (despite it being Magic-centric), but it's too hard for me to find players. I like the whole idea of Apprentice because it gives people the chance to playtest decks, archetypes and rogue alike, before going...

Actually, all Special Conditions could be removed by switching the affected Pokémon. Anyway, I like the new deck, and the Bounce Energy strategy looks great.

I'll give my 2 cents here. Anyways, after reading over this whole discussion, this is reminding me of the days when the old Rocket-On Modified came out. People were pretty much asking the same things, talking about how they can win without their Computer Searches, Professor Oaks, Gust of...

Gyarados (W) 90 HP (Water) Stage 1 - Evolves from Magikarp Picture: It is nighttime, and Gyarados angrily emerges from an dark blue ocean. There is a small costal village in the background, but Gyarados isn't facing it. Gyarados looks very disturbed and angry, ready to get revenge on whom...

This deck needs less Pokémon and Energy and more Trainers. I have built a ton of no-rare decks that resemble some structures found in normal decks. I like your idea about using Misty's Poliwhirl and Quagsire to remove Energy; I've tried Misty's Poliwhirl years ago and it works wonders in...

Yeah, either I'm wrong, but wasn't the Pokémon TCG an import from Japan to begin with? If I remember correctly the original Japanese Pokémon TCG was released in late 1996. I also know that all of the Japanese cards (or at least the pre-VS ones; hadn't checked since then) are produced in Japan...

I have constructed this deck mainly to try out something I haven't seen in EON and to knock out those Armaldo preevolutions before they become troublesome....I want to see if Nidoqueen becomes viable in this format. Psycho Claw Pokémon (20): 4x Nidoran F (Call for Friend) 4x Nidorina 4x...

I must be honest with you, I never played a full-fledged Standard battle (I don't have much leauge/tourney access at all), and even when I run across Slowking, it is on Apprentice, and I haven't played that in about a year. Anyway, my take on this is Slowking shouldn't be banned from Standard...
