*reads over 'Archtypes' article*
SATOSHI: Grrr...must respond...to article...YYYAAAHH!
*Satoshi turns into Super Saiyan Satoshi*

SUPER SAIYAN SATOSHI: *groan* Not another "Archtypes are not that good"
article. Here's a clue everyone: THEY'RE ARCHTYPES!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
THEY ARE GOOD!! *deep breath* Let me take this one step at a time.

QUOTE: "Scyther is easy prey for SER...wipe away that grass energy and
DCE..."

RESPONSE: Hmm...and yet Scyther is still powerful. Imagine that. Seriously,
what happens when you don't have a SER handy? Scyther slashes you into
ribbon, that's what.

QUOTE: "You could get a big attacker...let's say Ninetales...and whoosh.
There goes the mantis."

RESPONSE: Yeah, that could happen...but USUALLY, Haymaker decks are prepared
for that! Against a good Hay, what are the chances you'd even SEE Ninetales?
I know if it were me, the second that Vulpix hit the board, he'd be Gust
bait.

QUOTE: "Even base Poliwhirl could keep him from attacking!!"

RESPONSE: You'd have to get Poliwhirl out by turn two to have a chance of
using him. Poliwag's entire family is weak to grass(Scyther), which makes
him just more Gust bait.

QUOTE: "If Mewtwo faces Gengar/Colorless, he's not looking too good."

RESPONSE: Of course not...those are his weaknesses! Again, Gengar'd have to
hit the board fast to avoid getting KO'd by another Haymaker Pokemon. And as
for colorless...aren't most of the colorless psy-resistants weak to
fighting(Hitmonchan)?

QUOTE: "Wigglytuff is also not unbeatable...."

RESPONSE: I don't remember anyone saying he was. Here's a clue though: Any
card that is the center of an Archtype must be pretty good.

QUOTE: "Raindance falls prey to Electrics such as 'Buzz and Raichu...."

RESPONSE: ...who fall prey to Fighting types such as Hitmonchan and Machop,
who fall prey to Psychics such as MP Mewtwo and Jynx....Quit trying to prove
a deck is bad by comparing it to its weaknesses.

QUOTE: "If you think I don't like Archtypes, you're right. I don't like
them. They lack creativity and originality."

RESPONSE: You wouldn't be biased, now would you?

*Super Saiyan Satoshi turns back into Satoshi*

SATOSHI: I know they were opinions, but articles like these make my head
hurt. I'm going to say this one more time. BTW, the following is capped for
emphasis, not screaming:
ARCHTYPES ARE CALLED ARCHTYPES FOR A REASON. ARCHTYPES, BELIUEVE IT OR NOT,
ARE REALLY GOOD. IF THEY GIVE YOU PROBLEMS, THAT'S TOO BAD, BUT IT'S NO
REASON TO TEAR INTO THEM. Thank you, and goodnight.
