Clarification on Impersonation-it gets around both external effects preventing playing supporters (such as Abilities, etc.) and card-specific requirements (Rosa is a good example), right? It sounds like that’s what they were going for, but I wanted to check.

Back in generation 5, I was dissatisfied enough with the format that I made my own: http://pokegym.net/forums/entry.php?294-Format-I-m-working-on-(-quot-Mini-Modified-quot-) The basic idea was to be different and cheap (the latter is quite important for getting others to build decks in your...

Also, I think there's been a bit of a natural fragmentation of the player base's social activity as more of them have grown up and become able to start their own outlets.

I'd prefer to see Pikachu and Dedenne made to look like Jamie and Adam from MythBusters. :wink:

I generally just buy one of those generic cardboard card boxes to store each set separately. Most gaming shops sell them.

Kinda disappointing that Expanded isn't getting updated, though in all honesty expanded doesn't really appeal to me in general (for the record, I'd prefer it if they would focus efforts on turning one of the recent Professor Cup tournament formats into something more sustained for casual play).

I've managed to get up one of the interviews I did, this one with the winner of the VGC Masters Division: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67OhOY_lgNQ We discuss his team, the event, and some of the plushes he brought along with him. I have another interview with one of the Top 4 TCG Masters...

Man, I really thought you were going to pull a fast one and this would be a Professor Cup-exclusive one again. I mean, once I ruled out April Fool's Day...

Is there a flyer somewhere I can print out?

Here's the interview I conducted at the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqbT1GAFeN4 We discuss the new "Delta Plus" Ancient Trait, focusing on Articuno.

Pokemon: 19 4x Seismitoad (NVI/LTR) 3x Palpitoad (NVI/LTR) 4x Tympole (NVI/LTR) 4x Meloetta EX (LTR) 4x Emolga (DRX/LTR) Trainers: 27 4x Hypnotoxic Laser 3x Rare Candy 3x Repeat Ball 3x Dive Ball 2x Skyla 2x Colress 2x Sycamore 2x Lysandre 2x Virbank 1x Battle Reporter 1x...

Also, Mew is weak to its own type, so any self-damage (but not damage counters, so not case C) is doubled.

The link works fine for me. Try digging through the Pokegym blog section-it won't take long to find it.

I guess I should have linked to the blog post I made about my format a while back to give you a rough idea of how different I think the format should have been. In my alternate-universe gen 5, Juniper would likely not exist as a card.

I think a better way to shorten the game would have been to convert to a 4-prize structure with 40-card decks (also reducing the limit of copies of a card to 3-this was more or less a core idea behind my "mini-modified" format). Technically, you would have less space for evolutions as well, but...
