Annoyingly, I cannot seem to reply to Tokiwa City Smuggle’s next comment directly, so I’m replying to my own to continue the discussion. XP
I need to know how well you (Tokiwa City Smuggle) know the game. I ain’t a great player, but I’ve been at it long enough (since 1999) to have at least a rough idea of how things worked back then, and how they work now, and most of the Formats in between.
I’m well aware of the “counters” you you mentioned, and how they were inadequate back then, befor…
Lass + Cleffa NG can delay all of the above mentioned trainers. ER/SER can be dealt with the following stadium cards: No Removal Gym GH, Eco Gym NG, and Energy Stadium Neo Destiny.
An errata correcting the original mistake with Neo Genesis Slowking’s Ability is long overdue. However, there are a few other cards that would need an errata or ban, I think. I could be completely wrong, but just off the top of my head from Base Set:
Energy Removal
Item Finder
Professor Oak
Super Energy Removal
Scoop Up
I think Unlimited would be viable if they ban Broken Time Space and errata’d Slowking to its Japanese Mind Games text. But then it wouldn’t be Unlimited anymore! Lol
I think players at the time tend to overlook this card. This card can help you from a situation where your opponent is going through his deck a lot of times. Haymaker decks tend to do this and players might not even realized it themselves! With only a few cards remaining in their deck; and their hands size small, this card should net you the game.
Me: noo you cant just destroy my 1 prizer deck that I spent time and effort on
ADP: haha altered creation go brrr
Bianca is waving at Professor Birch, continuing his legacy.
This seems to me a Metal Carnivine.
I was amazed by this 5-coin flipping, but I forgot it’s not a new thing!
This is not Nidoran Female : ^ )
Love this
I lost count how many cheeks’ electric pouches we have…
Most underrated basic of all time.
I thought the meta at the time was dominated by fire decks. That might have something to do with it.
The special membrane covering its eyes can sense the heat of objects, so it can see its surroundings even in darkness.
Along with a nifty appearance!
Oh, it is one foot long.
Not really… 30 HP plus Resistance still only required 60 damage to KO, so it was no harder for Mewtwo (WotC Black Star Promos 3, 14) to OHKO it than any other Pokémon with 60 HP. Haymaker decks typically ran PlusPower to expand their OHKO range, and two Types of attacker to exploit more Weakness and dodge Resistance. Electabuzz (Base Set 20/102; Base Set 2 24/130; Platinum 128/127; Best of Game 1) or Scyther (Jungle 10/64, 26/64; Base Set 2 17/130; Platinum 130/127) would just step up and h…
Dr. λ, Flying/Normal (or Normal/Flying) Types aren’t the same thing as Normal Types, though. If Brian had said “Every COLORLESS Type…” then he’d need the correction. I assume he only meant plain Normal-Types, and not any hybrids.
The Ace Spec of this is called “Dowsing Machine” when it should have been called “Item Finder”, thanks TPCi!!
The prototype for this card would have been even more broken, the prototype allows you to use it without discarding a single card from your hand! That flavor of the text should’ve been the Ace Spec version!!
If Weedle is an inch length, then that must be some serious microscopic artwork there! Weedle looks more than a inch here!!
This card probably punished players for replacing their Hitmonchans for promo Mewtwos in their Haymaker decks.
Cell Culture…
This remembers me about my biotechnology lab. Good times…
Oh yeah, I love this reprint. I put it in my cube draft and it was *way* overpowered, so I replaced it with the original! I like how it encourages you to put a few non-lightning energy in the deck, and think ahead about what energy you’re attaching to your Pokemon.
It doesn’t prevent the attack itself, just any effects done to Mewtwo. If the opponent’s attack was going to do damage to Mewtwo – or leave it Paralyzed, Confused etc. – that wouldn’t affect Mewtwo. However, Barrier doesn’t prevent the effects of an attack on other Pokémon – so if an attack did damage to Benched Pokémon, that effect wouldn’t be prevented.
