Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

The Top 50 Pokémon Cards of All Time as told by Ness

Very cool idea! That 41-50 list brings back bad memories of two of my most hated decks ever, RockLock and Mewtric. Still. the article is already reminding me how much more fun Pokémon was in the days of Base/Gym/Neo/e/early ex before things like Delta (though I'll let Metanite slide :p) and SPs marred the game as we know and love it.

I can't wait to see where the following cards rank:
~Blastoise (Base / Base 2)
~Professor Oak
~Computer Search
~Gust of Wind
~Energy Removal
~Super Energy Removal
~Rocket's Zapdos
~Cleffa (NG)
~Slowking (NG)
~Sneasel (NG)
~Murkrow (NG)
~Feraligatr (NG)
~Blaziken (RS)
~Dunsparce (SS)
~Double Rainbow Energy
~Steven's Advice
~Scramble Energy
~Pidgeot (RG)
~Holon Transceiver
~Claydol (GE)

Wish it was top 50 in unlimited, kinda lame to see electabuzz and wigglytuff in the top 50 spaces. More like top 50 homage cards.

Top 50 in unlimited? Sure, 30 trainers and then you have gatr prime, muk, dialga, plume ex, rhyperior, jolteon ex, and electrode ex. * :rolleyes: Buzz and tuff were great cards, but I disagree with thier rank (buzz should've been ahead of tuff, as tuff was very vulnerable to GOW and ER).

But a more in depth analysis of the format and those cards obviously...
 
Glad to hear you guys are enjoying the article! It makes the 16 hours I spent endlessly revising it seem worth it! I sent The Top 50 to Pojo, but he decided to break it up into five days. (So don't yell at me about that! :cool: )

I always laugh when people make guesses because everyone does the same thing: you all name some great cards, and then one or two horrible cards which wouldn't even make a Top 300 list. (Misdreavus? :tongue:)

I'm guessing Bill (Pojo) is going to post 40-31 tomorrow. I'll post it on my Facebook when he does. A sneak peek: We start #40 off with an ex-Pokemon that dominated the 2005 season, but failed to take the World Championship.

Medicham Ex?

I really like the article so far, and was just wondering if you'd written a LCQ/Worlds report or not, or if you didn't bother. I don't really mind, i just thought it'd be cool to see how your matches went, if possible.

what wasn't vulnerable when GoW was running around.

I think that Recycle energy mitigated most of the problems that 'Tuff had regarding ER and GoW. That's just from my experience.
 
The article is a great read, props to Jason for that, though I think on balance 41-50 were better than 31-40. I am expecting Luxray GL Lv.X, Claydol, Rare Candy, Cyrus Conspiracy from recent sets to be right up there.
Peace
 
First is going to be Slowking, with the top 10 being rounded out by base set trainers, Gardy, maybe Feraligatr, and DCE.
