Hey all!  You can email me at nonameneeded@aol.com. 

I'm here to give a lecture to people who say that people who buy more cards
have an advantage.  This may be true, but you make it sound like it's
impossible to win!  I have found many cheap replacements for Rare cards used
a lot and it slims the advantage to nothing. 

Hitmonchan-  You can use Machop.  Only 20 less HP and you could still use a
Potion or Scoop Up: not a lot of people could deal over 50 damage to him in
one turn.

MP Mewtwo- Use a Jynx.  Just trust me, identical costs and HP, and Meditate
is more annoying than Psyburn.

Scyther- Farfetch'd or Charmeleon. They both know a 30 damage attack for 3
energy.  I prefer Farfetch'd since it still has the F resistance and
Charmeleon is a Stage 1.

Magikarp/Gyarados-  Use Seel/Dewgong.  I think it's better anyways.  The
basic has double the HP and Dewgong only has 20 less than Gyarados and the
attacks are almost the same, and Dewgong can use DCE!

Beedrill- You could use Golbat, which I've actually found to be a good choice
in tournaments.  However, it's really only the enrgy costs that are the same.

Mr Mime- You could possibly use Kadabra's Recover or, as sad as it may sound,
Base Gastly's (I cringe at that name) Destiny as a shield to prevent most
damage or make sure your opponent think twice about attacking. (hmmm, this
got me thinking, perhaps multiple ::cringe:: Base Gastly in a Mewtwo mulligan
type deck where you either deck your opponent out or you make him kill
himself to get any prizes, but you would have to include other pokemon just
in case he decides to plow through the base gastly, perhaps some colorless
like chansey and potions/scoop ups could help, maybe some Jynx or Mewtwo.)...

Well, I had a couple more but forgot.  I'll come back later!
