Hey,
This is Daniel
with a Reply on an article about Archetypes.
In your Haymaker
portion you said "Dark Vileplume in an Energy Denial can make an amazing
deck. Removing energy, and you can't Retrieve it back." How would I
energy Denial without SER and ER??? I know there is Dragonair and
Golduck, but it is a lot more effective to drain their energy then attack.
Also, Kangaskhan in a Raindance??? WTF is that all about. That
would be a waste. Since good raindance decks use oak, bill and now
challenge. Kangaskhan is just wasting an attack.
In the Potpourii
Section you said "This boy sent out a ditto against my Ditto and said
self destruct. Then I said , "what the hell?"" I think I
speak on behalf of everyone when I say "Thank you for saying this, my
life wouldn't have been complete unless you told me this". Also
Potpouri decks are among the greatest, even if they ER you, you always have
Energy Retreivals and pokemon with Colored/Colorless attacks(eg. Buzz's
Thunderpunch LC). If I remember correctly Scott's Potpouri had F.
Magmar, Electabuzz, and the Mimer, with Dittos Scythers and a single
Kangaskhan. All of which take colorless energy except Magmar.
In the Sponge
section there was "You discard energys, and do a whopping 40 damage on
turn 2!! " Some people don't know this but you can't just discard
something on free will. You must use Comp. Search, Item Finder, Oak or
something along those lines.
In the Speed Tuff
Section you stated "Well anyway about Hitmonchan, this guy can knock out
a Tuff in 2 turns. " Last time I counted it was 1 turn. Now I
could have miscounted - Special Punch 40 x 2(for weakness) makes 80!!!
Wigglytuff's HP!!!!...
No offense Jason,
I'm just pointing out the flaws in your article.
Any mail(Hate,
Love or worthless Chainletters)
