Hey! I have some comments with Prof.Ed's article
on "Top 15 worst cards." My comments are in green,
while his are in black.
15.PokeGear
I don't get this card. Search for a trainer, then you can't use it? It doesn't
make sense. I'd rather use Computer Search, and, PokeGear is a rare also, so
it's just as hard to find as a Computer Search. But really, this card would be
broken if it let you use the trainer card, but it does the
opposite. I know it's dumb if you can't use the trainer,
but otherwise, it would be a broken card. One situation this would be good in
is if you need an Oak, but have only a PokeGear in your hand. Use it, then use
Oak next turn! With Comp. Search, you would have to wait 2 turns.
14.Prof.Elm
What's he doing here? Well...to me...he's not good. Get a new hand, shuffle
the hand to your deck to prevent
decking, but you can't use other trainers? That's kinda like PokeGear, but I
think I'd rather PokeGear. But, Prof.Elm
might find the use in a Rain Dance deck, but defianitly no where else. Again,
in some situations, this card is good. Also good in low-trainer decks. Use
some of these and some Oaks, too.
6.Pokedex
I DO NOT get this card PERIOD. Just re-organize the top of your deck. Could
help, but very rarely. Like many of the cards here, Pokedex cannot combo with
any card. Pokedex just seems to be bland, no one has ever used it, or dared to
use it. And, now we have the new pokedex.
Ever heard of Blaine's Magmar? Or other cards that
discard from the top of your deck (like Neo Feraligatr and Neo 3 Entei?) This
card has its uses, like any other card. Oh, and about New Pokedex, same thing.
4.Focus Band
This card is bad. Before you e-mail me complaing, read closely. Flip a
coin...FLIP A COIN. If tails, your dead, and focus band is gone. If heads, you
leave 10 HP one, wow, just get knocked out next turn. Ever
heard of the barely-used Stall? Oh, and this works great with babies. Flips
make the game exciting, you know.
3.Stantler(Neo 3)
Transalation:
Hp 60 Retreat:1 Weakness:Fighting
Resistance:Psychic
(C)Weak Amnesia
If the defending pokemon is a basic pokemon, choose 1 of their attacks. That
pokemon may not use that attack on your opponent's next turn.(This effect ends
if the defending pokemon evolves, retreats, or is discarded from play)
(CCC)Back Toss 30
Flip a coin, if tails, choose 1 of your opponent's benched pokemon and deal 10
damage to it. (Don't apply weakness or resistance for benched pokemon.
ILL!! This card is BAD! Back Toss is terrible, and Weak Amnesia only works
against basic pokemon. Only Invisible Wall combos with this card, but I even
wouldn't call that a combo. This card is plain terrible, and worse then
Giovanni's Pinsir. Weak Amnesia works with Aerodactyl
and Rocket's Training Gym for a whole new deck! And Chaos for all the
Scoop/Switch. Back Toss is like Scyther's attack, except it may do 10 to a
bench. Get that back on the Defending Pokemon with Gengar!
1.TIE:Cleffa, Magby, Pichu
Yes, these cards are horrible. There a great baby killers now. Babies are just
to weak. Yes, I DID right Cleffa there. I've played Cleffa before, and it is
just plain terrible. Magby has a weak move, and Pichu can attack your
own pokemon power pokemon too. These cards are terrible, and I don't think
they should be used. This is where I draw the line.
CLEFFA SUCKS????? It is rated a 10.0 on Ness' COTD scale! It is widely used, AND
a good card combined with Focus Band, another card on this list! Try making
combos out of these cards for once!
