-------------------------------------------------------

Let's fix this son of a puppy.  (Yeah, when you're a deck mechanic you can make up any phrases you please.)

Pokémon (mon mon mon!):  Okay, the Pokémon line has changed.  Neo 2 has helped turn Arithmetic into a stronger deck, since it weakened others, with Mr. I.  Mr. I, also known as Igglybuff, totally.. umm ::avoids prafanity:: "defeats" Mr. S and Mr. D.  (Slowking and Dark Vileplume for you idiots.)  Oh yeah, it's also useful against the new Mr. F, Forretress.  

So, we add 2 Igglybuff.  But wait, now we have too many Pokémon and you nearly soil yourself because you're so scared.  But don't worry, Mr. N (me) is gonna help you take care of that, Chris.. if that IS your real name, anyway.

So, "Chris," what we're gonna do is drop a Mr. E and a Mr. S (stupid thing).  And by the way, Arithmetic was changed before so that it had two Mr. D's.  (Stupid Sneasel).

But wait!!  Now we're playing 5 babies, and and 15 basic.  Now you've probably definitely soiled yourself because you realize Cleffa is weak, and Igglybuff doesn't even have an attack (which makes little sense, if you ask me).

We may have to add another basic just because we have 5 babies, we can do a 3rd Electabuzz or a 3rd Scyther.  OR.. we could add something hazy and crazy.. or not..  hmm, let's think.  I say we get that 3rd Scyther back in.  Why not?

Trainers: Well, it's gotta be reduced by 2 because we're still gonna play 15 energy.  Drop the Nightly Garbage Run (you got enough Pokémon, Zapdos recoverys energy from the discard, Lass and Cleffa add cards back to the deck.. wow, Nightly in this deck is DONE.)  Also drop the Goop because we got 2 Mr. I's.

Then... a 4th Computer Search, and drop the 3rd Gold Berry.

Energy: Drop those Full Heal Energy. Add another Double Colorless and add another lightning.
