Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Was Catcher good or bad for the game?

You could work around gengar with crobat g and uxie, like every single deck played these...

N and Catcher are both inherent factors, and I believe they both affect game decisions equally.

Still, major problems are lack of good setup Pokemon(that draw or search during your turn), and the insane power creep. When I came back to play when BW came out I saw Zekrom and Reshiram and I thought that they couldn't make anything more powerful than that, but when I saw mewtwo...
 
Format is just plain bad right now all the fun if deckbuilding has been squeezed out of the game. The highpoint for Pokémon was right when stormfront was out. It started to decline with SP's but even then you could still build a Stage 2 deck that could hang with the SP's. Now with 170-180 HP EX's the decline is complete. Japan has finally forced our hands to make us run noting but basics. Evolutions are techs if they are played at all. It has been very disappointing to play the last few years, But as long as the game last I will be building decks and competing.
 
Just throwing my thoughts on this one: Catcher is not new. Its gust of wind, from way back (and possibly even other names as well). which I never heard get called a game wrecker. I seem to recall Warp point being pretty Nifty too, but never OP. I would suggest it's the rest of the cards in set that are making the effect better than it aught to be, situationally, rather than the effect itself being the culprit.

Catcher is also in the deck of Blastoise and Kyurem coming out later. So it'll still be around. Don't expect it to be rotated.

Get used to it and enjoy the ride.
