I thought that a new "gimmick" (i.e. EXs, Level X's, Primes/LEGENDs) would be appropriate for the upcoming 6th gen sets, and this is what I game up with.
Pokemon-XY
Rules
-You can only have 1 copy of each Pokemon-XY in your deck.
-All Pokemon-XY are Stage 1 or Stage 2 cards.
-Once per game, you can play a Pokemon-XY from your hand onto your Bench as if it were a Basic Pokemon. It is still treated as an Evolution card, but not as an Evolved Pokemon.
-You cannot start the game with a Pokemon-XY on the field (since it is technically NOT a Basic Pokemon).
-You can still play a Pokemon-XY as an Evolution like normal.
Since we don't know much about the 6th gen Pokemon's final evolutions and whatnot, we're stuck with gens 1-5 for now to use this idea.
Here it goes...
