Hey, you... Did you know that Super Energy Removal and Computer Search are
BANNED in JAPAN?  You want to know why?... BECAUSE THEY'RE FREAKIN' CHEAP AND
AWSOME!  Okay, here's what they do:

Super Energy Removal
Trainer
Discard an energy card from one of your
pokemon in order to choose and discard
up to 2 energy cards from one of your opponent's
pokemon

Computer Search
Trainer
Discard 2 cards from your hand in order
to search your deck for any card and put
that card into your hand.  Shuffle your deck
afterwards.

    Okay, in case you didn't notice computer search let's you get ANY card
out of your deck... ANY CARD!  No wonder it was banned in Japan!  If there's
any card you're wanting you can simply get it.  It adjusts to any situation
where you have 2 more cards in your hand and there's a card you want.  I
suggest to always play with 4 of these.  If you need more than one specific
card, Computer Search for an Oak!  (If you don't have an Oak in your deck and
it's a non-staller, you've got a problem).  Chances are you'll get either the
2 cards you need, or 1 card and a Comp. Search.  There is no reason this
should not be in your deck.  It is just plain awsome!
    Okay, about Super Energy Removal... this is JUST AS AWSOME!  No matter
what pokemon, doing a Super Energy Removal on it screws it.  The reason it is
banned is because it sets them back 2 turns.  After they're next turn it'll
take them another turn to get that energy back.  Energy Removal (the normal
one) will set them back one turn, so they can catch up on they're next.  So,
the reason is obvious why Super Energy Removal is banned.  It just screws
your opponent 2 turns back!  I keep 4 in my deck, but some decks can't handle
the one energy it takes off your pokemon, so some might play with 2 or 3, but
it's good to know ones there.
    Well, I think I made it apparent why S.E.R and Comp. Search are banned,
here's a simple sentence if you didn't catch on:
Computer Search-Can be used in ANY situation, leaves your deck open for the
   picking.
Super Energy Removal-Setting a person back one turn with one removal of
energy is
  just annoying, but not to effecting as long as they can attack, but setting
them 2
  turns back when it comes to energy just screws them over, unless they have
extra
  energy on their pokemon, which people NEVER do.
So, these cards are a must have in essentially any deck.  It's like being
able to play a Black Lotus in magic.  These cards are so cruel, they're just
fun to use.
