    Card Picture Quality

    Themed compositions - Speaking of backgrounds. I've made a collection of Poke's from Holon Phantoms - many cards from this series feature not only a transformed, generally more dynamic Pokemon (because it is now a 'Delta species') but also a backdrop in which can be seen the creepy Holon's...

    '... And an opinion cannot be 'confirmed' as correct'. We live in an objective world. An opinion can be proved correct insofar as it is based on logic or facts. In this case, the latter.

    Fossils - The Unloved Cards

    Those MYSTERIOUS FOSSILS! Love 'em or hate 'em you just keep tripping over them. As many have said ... It struck me that Nintendo went off on a tangent in D&P, where the potential of Fossils were (re)-introduced but never really thought out - e.g., giving up Prize cards and yet not...

    Card Picture Quality

    On the issue of Pokemon Art I strongly disagree with Owachansey, Speaking as someone with a 1st Class degree in Fine Art, the Wizards cards were rubbish compared with those post-2003. Do we really believe that all Pokemon Art should be stifled into the flat, graphic characterizations of Ken...

    Devolution damage?

    Shame about the damage staying on. It would have been a cool way to wipe off some big attacks without having to load one's deck up with Potions.

    Devolution damage?

    Devolution damage? I know about certain old Trainer cards that allow Devolution (Base, Team R) of your own Pokemon, for one reason, to remove Special Conditions. Several mention that 'all effects of an attack' are thereby removed from the Pokemon that's left in play - Does this mean that you...

    Infernape 4/ Palkia G

    You might want to take a look at 'That infrenal ape' thread which I think was started on June 17th in 'Cards: strategy...etc' section. Lots of Deck combo's offered for Infernape, myself included.

    'palkerior!'

    Cheers guys. I've checked and there seems no way to get a Rhy Lv.X into play without the lengthy evolution up to Stage 3, and THEN you have to level-up. I could keep in the Rhy (RR) as it's useful, but I need another big hitter to accompany my four Palkia... Any suggestions for a new combo...

    'palkerior!'

    Thanks Legotack, any suggestions for levelling up Rhy 4? If not, which Rhyperior series would you suggest. Yes I do realise it is not a Tourno-legal deck. But the old cards were temporary, to get a 'feel' for the gameplay. Then I would look for up to date equivalents. Is this the sort of deck to...

    'palkerior!'

    'PALKERIOR' Deck. Developed as an answer to the Tyranitar (S) deck, which is still doing the 'rounds over here - Do you think the 'Fighting Pearl' Duo are up to the job? Twenty pokemon: Palkia G Hp100 (P), Palkia G.Lv.X Hp120 Palkia Lv.72 Hp100 (P), Palkia Lv.X Hp 120(GE) 2x...

    PCL purposely building counter cards to force older decks out of the format?

    The price of evolution. I know what you mean. Some time ago it clicked to me that in the TCG we had seen a shift from encouraging the buying fans to get us to spend our resources on stage 2 pokes and legendaries plus, with the advent of D&P, Lv.X cards. Then, when the exorbitantly-priced...

    That Infrenal Ape. How to play Infrenape.

    Inferno Zone RELEASING THE 'NAPE !!! Infernape's attacks seem too good to not try, don't they? The secret has to be how his Fire Energy is supported ... As I am building a 'Nape Deck myself here is how I get Infernape to hit peak Bonfire capability! - 3-2-1 Infernape (P). Hp 110...

    Beating ego-bloated Tyranitar?

    Hi Poke talents - Got any suggestions for a deck specifically orchestrated to depose this bloated wannabee Godzilla? The target is Tyranitar (Stormfront) using Weavile to power up. For my deck I'm thinking using a Moltres/Ho-Oh offensive backed up by Heatran Lv.X

    Hello Everybody!

    New England Chowder Hello from England! First post - let's get some advice from you Poke talents: My Nephew ALWAYS beats me with his Tyranitar (Stormfront) deck. He has two Tranitar's in it, plans to get 4 in the deck, and also weavile I think. How can I stop my embarrassing gameplay...
