My money goes on the English name being something like Expelled Forces or something since Old Plasma was expelled from New Plasma or vice-versa

SP's awful I agree I never did like the concept. but failed ... hardly? Legends that wss a failed mechanic but not SP.
Failed because they weren't balanced.
Yep. Beacuse having to use a Lv.x's pokepower instead of just using a pokemon catcher is so broken, Because using a pokepower to heal damage off SP pokemon instead of using max potion is so broken. Because you can't think of ONE SINGLE DECK that can beat SP when there are many decks that can beat SP. That is what makes them broken.

Kirbyking, SP was broken because it was more or less your only choice, catcher and max potion may be better but unlike SP they are not primarily responsible for this formats ills. It is not about SP being better than todays cards it is about it being better than cards then. When people say something is terrible even through the rose tinted lenses of nostalgia you know they must have been bad.

The idea of SP's is not in itself bad, having evolved pokemon as basics is not a bad thing, and infact many SP's had interesting attacks and abilities. The problem is, When a set(s) focuses on a paticular mechanic that mechanic will get to much support and have an advantage over other mechanics. I was worried this would happen with dark types in dark explorers but thankfully not.

I'm hoping in this set we have the return of a supporter engine of some sort. I came back for the Cyrus day so I can't say like the old holon engine, but I would love a more open Cyrus engine. I think it would be a downfall to make a specified engine ala Cyrus engine, but something with multiple searches on one card would make me happy. Hey I think I'd be happy if they just reprinted Roseanne's Research and called it a set.

Team Plasma's Klinklang shown. And Meloetta cards. But, it looks as if Plasma is just going to be an extra detail sort of thing on cards. The name of the Pokémon is not any different. There's just little Plasma text added.

well...
Luxray gl LV.X did 80 for [L], basically snipe with its ability,
Garchomp C Lv.X brokenly heals all of them just by coming into play,
it had Bebe's search in item form via sp radar allowing for ridiculously easy searches,
Cyrus' Conspiracy ruins life,
Weaville g gets you a turn 1 setup,
oh say can you say broken energy gain,
SABLEDONK!!!!
and that's just half the story.
get the idea?? Basically it was play sp or Sablyeye or every match was autoloss.

Spiritomb start killed sabledonk, was also decent against SP's.... G-Dos w/ sableye could beat both.... vilegar, vilechamp, luxchomp, sablelock, sabledonk, and then SP boxes... also sableye/uxie/cinccino/kingdra prime was pretty good as well, oh dialgachomp, BLG, there were options ! Most though ran a sableye or spiritomb !

Machamp beats SP cause it one hits all of its attackers for one energy and no draw back
