Is it just me, or is that the most broken card in the set?


He can draw up to 6 cards for one energy (not too hard), and later game, can act as your Holons Electrode/Magneton. WOW. A starter that has some use after turn 3.

We just went over this. Castform isn't Delta. The most you can draw is 5, after Big Stump thats -2 so you'll draw 3.
 
Bangiras is a female, SuperWooper. :p Jade, take a chill pill too. Bangiras is awesome.

Awesome job bangiras! I can't even imagine how long it took you to type all of that up. We appreciate your hard work. :)
 
Heh, this is what happens when I do a speed translation, my brain gets ahead of my eyes, and I type out what I expect to read instead of what's actually on the card. Thanks, Pidgeotto Trainer and Professor Chris for pointing some things out, as that made my job a lot easier. I scanned through the set again and I think I corrected all of my mistakes. Just to clarify:

Flygon attaches from the hand, not the deck
Kabutops removes Special Conditions with its first attack(!) and it isn't a Steel type
Omastar isn't a Steel type
Castform isn't "delta species"
Pichu isn't weak to Psy

This set looks great, lots of cards made to counter the reigning archetypes and boost the weaker ones. GCs should be verrrry interesting. :clap:
 
Alright, Castform may not be as utterly broken as I first thought. But if you find the right deck...It is pretty awesome.


I'll find the deck, just give me a day or two...

Heh... Bellossom δ/Vaporeon δ/Rayquaza δ is the deck I'm gonna try it out in...
 
No Ex Cards i guess this is the future of pokemon cards?
Ugly holo's and stupid Delta symbols were Nintendo found a Microsoft word symbol that look weird and thought it look cool.
Stick to the Word "ex" in bold and in italics!

No, they pretty much have a logical reason to use δ.

To save ink insted of EX

No, it actually has just about as much, considering that the words "Delta Species" is on them...

I was referring to a reason in the continuity... you know, the fiction that goes along with the cards(the Pokemon 'universe', you could say...)

"delta" is probably used because it means "change". Look it up in a chemistry book. The types are change. Also, ex have more power (sometimes ^_~!), more HP, and have the two prize penalty. Deltas change type from their original types and aren't necessarily any stronger. is either trying to phase out exs or make them more rare I guess. They may come around later like in DS.

Anyways, I'm very impressed with the set and I see a lot more innovation that could be added to the game. Two up ^_^!

My new nickname lol j/k


By the way, i want to point out a small error in Bangirasu's translation.

[C][C] Crystal Laser: 20 damage. During your next turn, all of Deoxys' attacks do an additional 40 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon.

Beware of the wording, not all of deoxys.
The orginal wording in Japanese is "JIBUN", means "this pokemon".
Since using the form change power diesnt remove this attack effect which acting on Deoxys-D,
I think change it back to "this pokemon" or singl word of "deoxys" is better.


Your translation is great, maybe better than what PUI did, I cannot find out anymore errors lol

Already thought of that. 100 for LC? Sweeet. :3

And they're both Stages 1, and Magikarp has Call for Family, and Holon Lake is such a good Stadium card for this combo.

I believe there's still the possibility of half decks. Like in Delta Species.

i technically meant depending on the amount of delta species pokemon he had in play, with giant stump, he'd draw 3 or less. i didn't mean the amount that he loses.

Ah, well, I wasn't correcting you so much as I was rokman, but I did think that you had meant "reduced by 3 (-3)" rather than "three or less (≤3)"
