The first TCG GB game was the only one I played and jeez is it so difficult. You get one deck at the start that is mediocre. You'd think you'd be easily able to build a deck and maybe buy cards from a shop, but no, you have only the card packs acquired from winning or purchasing, and then ridiculous trade options. And the gym leaders tend to have very consistent decks. Imakuni freaked me out tho even though he was a push-over usually.

Erika was reprinted in 2019 so that the previous Erika card couldn't be used in the "Unlimited" format as an item card. The ruling was that cards that were printed as "Trainers" back before Supporters, Items etc. came about would be considered Item cards in the Unlimited format, unless that card had a mechanically identical re-release as a Supporter, in which case it would have to be played as a Supporter. Erika was a mainstay in Unlimited at the time.

As someone that knows nothing of the modern day Pokemon TCG, but is very familiar with the ruleset in the Gameboy Game, it's weird seeing a card like Misty's Water Command be called useless when when Venasaur's Energy Trans PokePower in that game is so incredibly broken. it's basically a less restrictive version of this Misty card , and You can literally use it to transfer energy off of pokémon that are at risk of dying so that you always have energy cards to attack with. It literally just lets you conserve your resources. I take it the game has changed a lot since then lol
@Chiffonaise Жыл бұрын
Moving attached Energy isn't a bad effect. Misty's Water Command only as playable as the Pokémon it supports, and they are apparently not very good or have poor synergy together. A more generic version of a "moving attached Energy" effect is Energy Switch, an Item card that was released in Aquapolis in 2003. It can only move 1 of any type of Basic Energy. This is a kind of evergreen card that has never been allowed to rotate since its inception and has seen some amount of success in every format over the years. Out of the big 3 TCGs, I think the Pokémon TCG is the game that has changed the least from its inception. Most of the cards that form the core of modern competitive decks are remixes of previous designs with minor stat tweaks, and modern decks are often piloted similarly to decks from the past. Power creep mainly bumps stats like HP and damage, while the power level of effects don't really change much. Things like Energy Trans Venusaur and Rain Dance Blastoise can still be viable in the current environment given the right circumstances. While the current iteration of "Energy Trans" has not seen success, the current iteration of "Rain Dance" is pretty good. There will be a new Baxcalibur releasing in the next set, and it has a functionally identical Rain Dance Ability. Even in 2023, unlimited Energy acceleration from the hand is good (lol) and this Baxcalibur forms the basis of a new competitive archetype that has seen some success in Japan.

Yep. You could play Erika in 2000 to draw up to 12 cards, then play Imposter Oak's Revenge which cost one card from your hand to force your opponent to shuffle their hand into their deck. With Rocket’s Sneak Attack allowing you to view your opponent's hand and send one Trainer card beck to their deck and The Rocket's Trap allowing you to send three random cards to their deck on a successful coin toss, there was all advantage and limited downside to the Erika combo.

Imakuni did actually have a very niche use case when he came out. Pokemon like Fossil Muk and Fossil Aerodactyl had Pokémon Powers that were symmetrical floodgate effects. Since being asleep, confused or paralyzed stopped Pokémon Powers from working, you could use Imakuni to selectively disable a floodgate on your turn, do what you need to do, then retreat with Switch to turn it back on. Not particualrly viable, as you'd have probably built your deck around avoiding the downsides of the floodgate, but technically a positive use.

A card I feel deserved a mention is Mary's Impulse. It seems like it could be good at first. Flip a coin until you get tails, then draw 2 cards for each heads you flipped. Problem is, the whole card is luck based, and right off the bat you have a 50% chance of your one Supporter for the turn doing literally nothing. If you get just one heads, you basically just played Mom's Kindness, which we've established isn't very good, if you get 2 heads, its only a little bit better than cards like Hau, Hop, and Barry. Any beyond that and yeah, it becomes really good. But having to 3 heads in a row for the card to be really good feels a bit ridiculous. Also, something that I find kinda funny is the fact that the original Professor Oak card was reprinted to be a Supporter, but they also added the effect that it immediately ends your turn after its played, making the fact that its a Supporter a bit redundant.

Juggler was a good card though. At the time (2002) discarding cards was very difficult, so being able to target discard your energy to draw 5 cards was very good in the right context (such as in feraligator decks that wanted to discard energy). In 2003 it would see even more play after the rotation of Cleffa put an even greater importance on supporters. Even in the next year 2004 juggler still had some relevance in a few decks that had an heavy emphasis on discarding energy cards specifically. Marys impulse was pretty awful but I suppose its at the very least better then most of the cards on the list (after all if you high rolled you could draw a lot of cards).

HCTR puts both players on the same level, so it doesn't immediately put your opponent into that sort of panicked aggro state. It's still not amazing by any means, but it DOES have a place. Misty's Water Command on the other hand doesn't even have a situational use in GLC. GLC still lets you use Deluge Blastoise. That just straight up kills ANY sort of need you'd have for MWC.

If you are Asleep or Paralyzed, you can't retreat. However, gaining the Confusion status, removes Asleep and Paralysis.

Not including Bill (HGSS) is odd. It's a card that is even more outclassed than Mom's Kindness , and was outclassed by Cheerleader's cheer and Emcee's Chatter, both of which also unplayable.

Teeechnically "Imakuni?" can be used to confuse your own Hisuian Electrode V to do additional damage. It's an extremely inefficient way to do it, and is only possible in Expanded format, and takes up your supporter for the turn, and many other cards accomplish the same result more efficiently, also the card Windup Arm that's a staple for the deck doesn't protect from Confusion. but TECHNICALLY Imakuni? is the most broken card ever printed as it technically combos with a card printed in a much later format. I'ma gonna put 4 copies into my cube.

Yes, Cedric Juniper is just a worse Cheren. However, it's such a funny requirement that I love it regardless. Is there anyone out there who knows Pokemon heights by heart exclusively to counter it?

Why does the text reads "life long ennemy" sometimes? XD

Hey I just want to point out that you only showed the Trainer version of Here Comes Team Rocket instead of the Supporter version. I would have liked to see how it looks now!

If the Imakuni? card didn't exist IRL back in the day I would have assumed it was created for the Game Boy Color game to make Imakuni? easier to beat lmao

I personally disagree with Erika being at spot 3. Even though she's horrible in most decks, some mill decks benefit greatly from the consistency she provides. In my experience, usually your opponent draws about 1-2 cards, which is still better than nothing. And even if they decline, you still draw three cards yourself which makes it fine in the worst case (in these niche decks). In fact, without Erika, the mill deck I do play would take a lot longer to do it's thing, and the win rate would probably have even dropped a tad. Since it's pretty good in these circumstances, I think it should outrank cards like Misty's water command, which is just bad no matter what.
