These "Card Comparisons" just get sillier and sillier.  People pick
the oddest cards to compare.  One that has me cracking up:  Alakazam
vs. anything.  You can't just say, "X card is all around better
than Alakazam".  Alakazam is the backbone of a major deck!  The same
goes for Blastoise!  It's one thing to compare halfway similar cards,
cards that have the potential to be used for the same thing (i.e. 
Gyarados vs. Dewgong or Articuno, or Mr. Fuji vs. Scoop Up, or
Pokemon trader vs. Poke Ball)...you can't just say, "Oh, I think I'll
compare Charmander to Gengar today!"  Maybe Kadabra is a little
better than Starmie, but which goes in a WATER deck?

And another thing:  THE POINT SYSTEM (ironically) IS POINTLESS!

Depending on your deck, some qualities may be more useful than
others.  You probably don't want Mr. Fuji in a Haymaker, but you'd
rather have it over Scoop Up in an evolution deck.  You can't say
"Mr. Fuji helps you deck!  One point!  Scoop Up can be used on your
active!  one point!"  It all depends on what else the player is
using, and what qualities that player needs.

Since I've already sent multiple emails bashing this issue, I think
this will be the last one.  I'll let Satoshi or someone point out any
other blatantly stupid ones that show up...
