what cards do you wish they would remake?

could have sworn that Team Rocket affects both players, not just the one who played it....?

Yeah it affects both players but seeing your opponents prizes isnt that much of a difference. I guess at times having that extra info of what they have prized is good but then your allowing your opponent to see their own prizes.

They did remake the card in EX FR/LG but it was a supporter.
 
Frankly I am kind of scared of bringing old cards back; combos are already pretty sick and decks are crowded. Chaos Gym is appealing only as an act of spite; those of us disappointed with how things are would enjoy it for the wrong reasons. XD

Oddly enough, I kind of wish Maintenance was back... or rather I wished it was back a few sets ago. Right now it is once again going to be crowded out, but for a time it would have been nice as an insurance policy for Professor Juniper.

well if they happen to remake something like SW/OP7 Gallade it would matter....?

how about if we got Lass back?
 
Getting Lass back with the only change being "its a Supporter now!" could be very interesting. You couldn't use it and follow up with another Supporter unless you ran Magnezone plus a Pokémon based draw effect. Especially with the heavy reliance on Trainers this format, it could be quite, quite formidable. Tropical Beach would become a little more useful as well.
 
Cessastion Crystal with a revise on pokeabilities.
Twins
BTS
Holon Engine
Pokemon Collection
Ariados(special condtion)
 
Not really, but if it helps you sleep at night, sure.

The format just needs to be slowed down. Garbador is the closest we got, and he sucks.

I hate to say it but the BW gen isnt the most creative in terms of card effects so I wouldnt ever think we would get another Gallade like Pokemon and even if we did, TRR never coexisted with Gallade to where it doesnt matter.

Lass is coming back in the form of Ghetsis or thats the closest thing to it. Lass would be pretty broken, one player just unloads all of their trainers, plays it, hopes the opponent prays for a topdeck and would win. Im already not liking Ghetsis being released but at least it doesnt hit supporters.

You do remember that the cards in your hand can't have come from a Supporter, right? If you try and hoard your Trainers, you are taking the risk of being hit with a Lass by your opponent while also making it so you can't use N or Professor Juniper (as those would shuffle away or discard your hand... preventing you from hording cards to unload before using Lass on the next turn).

Lass was effective (but not a staple) back in the day because it was a format where everything was a "normal" Trainer, what we call an Item today. You play out your hand (including periodic discards for exactly what you needed via Computer Search and Item Finder) before refreshing it and repeating the process over again with a Professor Oak... with the occasional Bill added in for good measure. It was pretty easy to burn through 10 to 20 cards before using Lass and forcing your opponent into top deck mode, at least as far as their Trainers were concerned.

This is now... your hand is probably somewhere between three and five cards and they won't all be Items. The hand is not a safe place for cards now unlike back then (Imposter Professor Oak wasn't worth it in competitive play), yeah, you probably won't run Lass unless:

a) Your deck has Pokémon based draw power
b) You are running a TecH copy in case you have a killer set-up and want to take a chance of protecting it.

tl;dr: Good luck trying to save up a large amount of Items to spam before using a hypothetical Lass Supporter; one Supporter per turn coupled with disruption already present makes that difficulty. It would be a useful card, but only in the right decks or at least correct circumstances.

Im not sure what you are trying to say. They are both bad for the game. They are massive hand disruption with little to no drawbacks. Im not a fan of 1 card hand kills. It seems effortless and very one-sided at times. Ghetsis is the modern day lass, since lass is a plain trainer and most likely if it was remade it would be supporter status. If it wasnt supporter status, it would be very broken.

I think your looking at lass based on what the card pool was back then. Now a days it would be even worse since you can combine it with Stoutland and win based on that or run it in Darkrai since you can Sabeleye it back when you need it and put pressure on your opponent. Even if its a dead card, you can just Ultra Ball it away if you really dont need it. Its just one of those cards where if you get it 1st turn, its gunna deal a ton of damage which makes it worth running in a lot of decks.

Then I suggest stopping there next time instead of trying to guess. [DEL]Back to not viewing your posts.[/DEL]

My apologies, I shouldn't be so snippy. Time for some self moderation. If you are not sure what I am trying to say, it may be best to avoid making a wild guess; I tend to write long, thorough posts and while they may be confusing, the length is meant to improve clarify not obscure information.

Simply put, odds of the guess being accurate are low; I have found myself making the same mistake, and there are times when it is okay. The follow up comments read as if you understood next to nothing from my post... including things in pretty plain English.

actually, I'd say that Ghetsis is worse than a supporter remake of Lass.

Ghetsis puts back only the opponent's trainers, and the player who played Ghetsis gets to draw cards based off what their opponent shuffled back in.....

Lass would make the would be player play as many trainers as possible before playing it....Ghetsis allows you to wait and see what you draw....and even then you have the option of not playing any trainers....

as for what Otaku was saying, I believe he was trying to point out the differences in the game's mechanics of then to now and how some cards were reviewed and/or used during said period......
 
Jungle Mr Mime

While it would have been broken pre laser/virbank, I could still see it being good for being invincible to the majority of pokemon. The only big card I can see touching him is sableye. Even then, he won't get donked unless they have a laser/virbank.
 
Scramble Energy

Needed now more than ever. What evolution cards see play right now? Empoleon and Klinklang who dont attack. Even when stage 2s were attackers, it was for Garchomp (1 energy main attack) and Empoleon (1 energy attack) because you cant set up anything to attack worth its resources.

Heracross delta; Mewtwo Lv. X, Mr. Mime MT

Basic/low energy hate. Hera preventing donks, Mewtwo forcing some kind of evolution in decks and Mime calming some rash genies and science expirments so you can set up some kind of strategy.

and as others mentioned, Vilepulme UD and MAchamp SF.
 
its funny i think id rather see vileplume not come back and them just rotate out catcher. that sounds like the main reason why people want it back.

i wish i could have played with those holon cards. they look pretty broke for their era
