A rarely mentioned topic on our site is the TCG-side of Pokémon, but I think it’s more than worth talking about occasionally. Pokémon recently announced details about the English release of the X&Y TCG expansion which will be coming on February 5, 2014. Fairy-type has been added to the cards, as well as a new Mega Pokémon mechanic.
Personally, I’ve always been more of a “collector” type when it comes to the Pokémon TCG. My three sisters never had any interest in battling when I was younger so even if I had made a competitive deck there wouldn’t have been any way for me to test it out. Luckily, children growing up in this online era have the Pokémon TCG Online game in case they have no interested siblings or nearby events. I don’t have much time for it, but I do really enjoy the TCGO game so if you haven’t checked it out I recommend that you do!
Looking forward to reading the comments about what you’re doing TCG-wise right now 🙂

ps- After I wake up (almost 11PM in Tokyo right now… I’m sick and tired) I plan to post an article about… POKEMON Z. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
FEATURED THREAD: The Pokejungle Fan Game by ShinyNoivern
Do you think i should teach Charizard Y dragon pulse or air slash?
Dragon pulse
Airslash
Flamethrower
Solarbeam
I was gonna go with this exact set, but what about focus blast? Isn’t that necessary?
Fighting is good against
Steel (fire wins)
Ice (fire wins)
Rock (grass wins)
Dark (who cares)
Normal (everybody wins except for ghost)
Not necessary. This is my moveset
Ok that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the help
No problem. I just thought if you are going to do egg moves take the amazing dragon pulse to put charizard x in its place and airslash for stab. And solar beam because of drought and flamethrower for obvious reasons
Yup, breeding a modest charmander with dragon pulse ampharos right now 🙂
I did that. I was trying to get dragon pulse on sliggoo. But remembered someone gave me a hydreigon so I took it to get dragon pulse from the move relearned and took it from there
i would get a hydreigon, but i already have one waiting to be transferred in december. Plus raising zweilous to level 64 is a lot
Yeah. I don’t know why someone gave it to me. Don’t remember what I traded for it
focus blast is good for charizards rock weakness, but solarbeam covers that with better accuracy.
Just realized this, thanks
Hey Exeledus. Did you just get on?
about… 6 minutes ago. need something?
Nope. Just saying hey
hey!
Wow! The transition from 2D to 3D was beautiful!! I go to B2/W2 to check something really quick and I put X & Y and W2 side by side. The difference is over 9000!!! The little protagonist looks so different and way smaller than in X & Y. I simply cannot believe it. So beautiful!
Hey jordinite
Hi there 🙂
I haven’t touched 5th gen since october lol. Can’t wait to be disappointed with BW2/W2’s graphics XD
You will be xD
I agree, they did a good job with the transition bw b2w2 brought a good start to 3d like with the buildings sort of. You can’t go straight into 3d. Game freak knows what they’re doing
They definitely do and I’m glad they do xD
I’m playing W2 more than X actually, i didn’t see any difference other than graphics
The graphics alone are a HUGE update.
I can’t say the same about the post game…
Doesn’t need one if you battle competitively etc. They definitely have to fix that in the next games though.
I didnt test B2W2 out yet since XY but i have played Emerald since and died laughing from the static sprites and the graphics in general look horrid.
*Facepalm
The PC box looks so crowded that I can hardly tell which Pokemon I’m looking for! I’m so used to X & Y and it’s awesomeness now that I have seen B2/W2. Imagine playing X & Y and then playing R/B/Y 0.o
Shiny Dedenne….GET!! 😀
Do you say the same thing with every shiny you find
yup
We’ll congratulations. I only have one shiny it’s shelgon. Get his royal dedennydeness.
Someone call Dicie xD Congrats! 😀
thanks c:
man! how many shinies do you have?!
13 :3
O–O HOW? whats the method you use?
7 via chaining, 6 via friend safari (random encounter) :p
shesh ! D: i cant do the chaining right, so imma just try by friend safari xD does it take like..hours? what other shinies did you successfully get? O:
Oh and saving takes FOREVER on W2 :O
What about on diamond pearl platinum. Saving a lot of data… Everytime you put a pokemon in the PC
Most annoying thing ever
Moveset for a gogoat?
I say earthquake, aerial ace, leaf blade, and brick break
Thats my curent moveset lol
Well it’s good. If you want maybe rock slide by I like this moveset
Earthquake, Horn leech, Bulk up, Milk drink
Nope, this is so tanky
Yeah I agree he will faint if you try to use bulk up or milk drink. Give him a quick claw or choice scarf for speed.
Considering gogoats bad def
Yeah he’s not that great a pokemon
yes I do play the tcg and I’m going to start a league in my area soon 🙂 If you don’t attend a league as of right now you have to start there a ton of fun and you meet a ton of cool people 🙂
hey everybody

LOL.
wow i remember that anime..the memories.
too bad it never finished on cartoon network D:
Twas the Anime that taught me how to be spontaneously erratic and near homicidal and more importantly it taught me how to be
“a Wild Challenger!”
new article
Got lv 1 Trevenant on Wonder Trade. Is it hacked?
Nope. Someone traded a Lv. 1 Phantump which evolved and that person sent it to you. It’s not hacked.
Ah. Thanks!
I personally think that Hoenn remakes/sequels are very unlikely because:
1: Hoenn used to have the exclusive Regirock, Regice and Registeel but since BW2, Hoenn now has no Pokemon that make it exclusive anymore.
2. Too much water. Surfing on a Lapras in Hoenn would be great but there’s just too little land compared to how much water after the 6th gym. You have to surf this water for the 7th gym, climax of the story, 8th gym, victory road, Rayquaza, the regi’s puzzle and I think but I can’t remember, the Battle Frontier.
3. Even though Hoenn is mentioned in Pokemon X & Y, there’s no point in saying that has any relevance because EVERY region is mentioned in the game.
4. A new region is mentioned in the game by a person in a hotel differently each time you speak to him before he gives you the strange souvenir. He mentions a town, a facility and a champion and always ends by saying “oh, never mind, you’ll see it in due time” or something like that. And after you receive the strange souvenir, he mentions that he doesn’t come from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh or Unova.
5. Bad enemy team/s. Team Magma and Team Aqua’s plots were quite stupid and I know people will tell me that there’s no logical point in enemy teams in games in general but if you think about it, Team Rocket’s, Team Galactic’s, Team Plasma’s and Team Flare’s plans all made sense and with each team, the plot has been getting better and better. After Team Flare, bringing Team Magma and Team Aqua back would be a step backwards.
6. The dead Battle Frontier. I know I’ll really get insulted for this because people liked the Battle Frontier and I never really used it because I didn’t see the point but the reason I put this point up is because Pokemon has gotten ridden the Battle Frontier for 2 generations now and it’s been replaced by facilities that do the exact same thing as the main facility of the Battle Frontier, the Battle Tower.
In conclusion (and this is only MY OPINION), for Hoenn to have a decent remake/sequel, it would have to replace it’s enemy team and increase it’s landmass and since it’s wild Pokemon found would be changed as well to keep it within generation 6, this would make an almost entirely new region which wouldn’t be Hoenn.
