The Card Pokémon Wish They NEVER Made.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Apologies for the slight audio issues in this video 🙏hope you can still enjoy it :)

[@pikachuhoodie]

During this era you could play turn 1 supporters as well making the set up extremely consistent

[@fawfulmark2]

*Watches Start of video* .....Super Energy Removal? *Sees Card* Oh yeah, that thing sucked too.

[@marx1095]

not to be rude but super energy removal was made by wizards of the coast

[@joejones]

@@marx1095 what? no its an original card dude. not a special print by wizards

They only handled distribution afaik​@@deadmaniac0472

[@heavyarms55]

That card was the reason I stopped playing the TCG for several years. It simply made the game unfun.

[@BurtsPTCG]

It was a dark time 😭

[@kisapniaq]

This is a very interesting retrospective to look at, especially seeing one of our little guys just recently revealed and how the game has evolved over time. Well timed and well worded

[@BurtsPTCG]

Oh yeah good point actually! Appreciate your support 🙏

[@XmortoxX1990]

From what I learned from this video is that EX Pokémon were a mistake. Having such powerfull pokemon as basic is just nuts.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Solid take tbh!

[@warlok7801]

So many banned cards on that meta it's insane

[@BurtsPTCG]

Xy was a wild time!

[@icyglaceon4717]

It sounds like the Wild West of the TCG meta

[@TheKingQazbatt]

​@@icyglaceon4717 it was so much fun to play. i started playing when primal clash came out. between the ancient traits and so many powerful items it was a lot of fun.

[@froggggg643]

The Rocket's Trap. Or JP Brock's Ninetales before its emergency errata.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Rockets trap was WILD

[@viciousisanerd]

Seriously some of the best pokemon content out. Your videos always give me nostalgia and take me back.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Ayo your too kind! Means a lot honestly 😭😭

[@TheKingQazbatt]

i loved playing toad but my deck was built to be agressive. i used archie to get out empoleon from breakthrough(+20 damage for basic pokemon) and would usually have 2-3 on my bench from repeated archies. quaking punch for 90 was so fun to do.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Oh goodness that is horrible 😭🤣

[@idlesenses1]

Ah, the good old days of Toad/Tina...I've been repenting for my sins ever since

[@BurtsPTCG]

Was a dark time 👀🤣

[@NJBization]

To be fair, I had created a deck that actually can knock out seimitoad EX in one hit which is done in combination with poison and certain pokemon tool card.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Oh nice! What was it? :)

[@NJBization]

@BurtsPTCG i use a florges EX deck that contain a silver bangle, a pokemon tool from one of the black and white set, Volbeat with the move pester from xy primal crisis and a Ariados from xy ancient origin. The setup: make sure that the a fairy pokemon with a retreat cost of one is set at the active on the first turn with a fairy energy attach, volbeat on the bench with the silver bangle attach along with spinarak. On the next ture after your active pokemon was quicken punched and you cannot be able to use items and if the pokemon tool is not removed, evolve spinarak into ariados, retreat the fairy pokemon for the volbeat with the silver banger attached and attach the double colorless engery into it, use ariados' poisonous nest ability to poison both active pokemon that are not grass(volbeat is grass so it is immune) and then attack the poisoned seimitoad-EX for 180 due to weakness to grass. Rundown: Normally pester does 30 damage, it does 30 more if the opponent's active pokemon is affected by special condition, silver bangle does 30 more if the pokemon is pokemon EX. Because seimitoad EX has weakness to grass, the damage is double to 180.

[@lempn1646]

idk what video editor you use but make sure your audio levels r within green and yellow

[@aubeary190]

Really makes you think why they’re printing that Budew with item lock for 0 energy…

[@MoonduckPsy]

Yeah…item lock combined with the VMoth may get really boring!

[@BurtsPTCG]

And free retreat too 👀

Lysandre in X and Y: "Hi, how are ya? Meme" Lysandre in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Episode: RR: "Insert Feathers McGraw pulling out the Glock" Lysandre in the XYZ Anime: . . . It speaks for itself. It's the Kalos Anime. Lysandre in the TCG : "Insert Thanos with Infinity Gauntlet with The Five Banned Cards" "I am inevitable meme goes here" Legends: Z-A, don't screw this up for us okay?😅

[@BurtsPTCG]

Oh I never considered that to be fair 👀

[@RookieRed]

I remember being excited to get back into playing the TCG for the first time since the initial craze back in the late 90s. Then I remember encountering Seismitoad or Trevenant decks who prevented you from even playing the damn TCG and made me quit again. 😭

[@BurtsPTCG]

Yeah not the best time to get back involved unfortunately 😭

[@rosebouquet0730]

remember that card being one of the first I pulled as a child. Funny to think that was meta. Honestly thought ADP was gonna be the card.

[@BurtsPTCG]

I wonder if creatures do regret ADP, they probably do 😂

[@tuongpham7609]

I remember playing against this deck and it was a nightmare. Wasn't an impossible deck to beat but dam I had to work so hard just to out it.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Was such a slog to beat you are right!

[@SturmAH]

Seriously Burts, I just beat Silent Hill 3 for the first time this weekend, and it was a Masterpiece! And then you use the music from the game? What are the odds? :D Anyways, I played a lot of Seismitoad back in the day. I got 9th place at Danish Nationals with it back in the day (Just missed day 2, sigh) Played it with Empolion and "Powerfull Friends" Miltank. When you got a couple of Empolion up, it was ridiculously strong. One match even Manaphy EX got a win because of Empolions abillity. My opponent was pretty shocked to say the least. :D

[@BurtsPTCG]

Aha good timing :p and yeah powerful friends was soo fun! Shame about missing day 2 😭

[@Iankepler-hf7xe]

Wait..isn't this just banette ex?

[@TheWillrocks51]

No. It’s a basic. Banette is stage 1

[@BurtsPTCG]

👆

[@justsomekirbowithoutamusta1852]

Reading this comment spoiled the whole video for me 😭 Knew it was gonna be about Seismigoat just from seeing the B in Banette

[@BurtsPTCG]

Let me do a pinned comment to try stop that 🤔😭

[@StickyTrap]

Also Seismitoad was very splash able because it only needed a double colorless energy instead of psychic

[@itzhamison1591]

As a kid I didn’t know anything about Pokemon cards but I did pull a singular ex card. And it was seismatoad. I thought it was lame since I didn’t play at all and it’s funny to see almost 10 years later that I had basically the best card in the game

[@BurtsPTCG]

You did unfortunately! Tbf 30 damage doesn't look good in the eyes of a kid 😂

[@goldenarmour7975]

I've always regarded 2016 as the worst format creatures has ever cooked up and this proves it. Retroactively tho, I've seen some interesting decks in 2016 tourneys dominating.

[@BurtsPTCG]

2016 was wild for sure!

[@elneco4654]

Honestly I was expecting other cards considering how tame that one sounds in paper, but given the whole context of the time it makes a whole lot more sense. Also, the audio is a bit low in comparison with the ad at the end. 1:33 Wait, it's not pronounced "Versus Seeker"?

[@BurtsPTCG]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@akaakaakaak5779]

*should HAVE. The video title had that mistake

[@rodrigobarrera2281]

Great video 🔥 The audio is low, hope you fix it for the next one, thanks 👍

havent watched it yet but i can almost guarantee its lysander

oh, thats fair

Lysandre FA is stunning though 👀

[@NoahMP3ttv]

Ngl I expected Shaymin-EX to be today's topic 😂

[@BurtsPTCG]

Haha good point! Well shaymin ex features heavily 😭

[@VaultBoy-kz6ed]

[@BurtsPTCG]

Probably would tbf!

Truly the card I hated the most. Who thought it would be a good idea to give an item lock attack for a Basic that activates with a DCE?

[@BurtsPTCG]

Exactly that 🤣😭

[@Tehexpl0it]

still got my Full Art of my Boy

[@BurtsPTCG]

It's a nice FA too!

[@thunderstruck560]

Seismitoad EX the greatest card ever created and I will not stand for this slander.

Was you a Quaking Puncher? :p

*should've

cmon creatures i just wanna attack with quaking punch again in standard please i swear it won't be broken again please please please it's no less broken than half the stuff that flies in vgc it'll be great and everyone will love it pretty please

[@lucasweber1076]

Sorry, not a TCG guy, but why is a stage 2 pokemon a basic card?

[@boibobbybo391]

They do that a lot. Just because a pokemon is fully evolved doesn't mean it has to be a stage 1 or 2 person pokemon

[@lucasweber1076]

@boibobbybo391 That sort's my curiosity, thanks man
