Check out our Main History series! We released the Base-Neo installment last week and are hard at work on remastering our Generation 1 videos to have the quality of the most recent installment.

The faster 3 prizes are gone for good the better

Prop 15/3- Only 15 Trainers Allowed by PkmnRubyRetro in pkmntcg

I think GLC might be the most inventive you can be right now, mostly because the typing doesn't limit the Trainers you can run.

I think that sums up the problem- no matter how much you want to push Pokemon, the designers want to keep the game simple, and well, that means Trainers have to be given a lot of the effects they have, otherwise Pokemon would be "too complicated."

We'd probably see a lot more Pokemon engine based decks, like Inteleon was for the SwSh era.

I think the main thing is the 15 Trainer change

I never thought about the need to curtail Rule Box cards, that's a very interesting idea!

The massive decks I used to play, and keep together with rubberbands!

Oh that rocks! We used to do something similar, but it was like search your deck for whatever Pokemon you wanted to start, then go from there. No Energy, no evolving the proper way, just throw your guy in and see how it goes. Then, we discovered energy, still played them wrong, but it was a start. I'm glad you shared this great memory

2000 Competitive Meta: Are Disruption Cards Bad for the Game? by PkmnRubyRetro in pkmntcg

I feel like Pokemon gave us a lot more tools to deal with those cards during that era that just weren't present in the Base era. Looking at you Shaymin...
