Ive been thinking lately about haymakers.  I sometimes build decks that are
fast(actually i always build decks that win prizes early).  The thing i hate
most is lets say im playing My curse deck.  I layed down jynx and buzz and
imediately someone says "haymaker come on be origanal".  Or im playin my
dodrio deck and lay down mime and scyther.  Imediatly "potpurii be origanal".
The reason this irratates me is cause origanality is what i stress most.  I
will admit it , I used to play jallepeno potpurii.  That is a great deck but
i just realized theres no point in playing games which are based on strategy
when all u do is gust up weak pokemon and kill em which is really straight
forward.  I want people to realize that haymaker pokes are also used in non
haymaker decks.  Buzz is great in any elec deck.  Chan was better but now
theres so much resistance,  scyther is great in any deck with a colorless
attack.  MP mewtwo/jynx are both great in psy decks.  the list goes on for
every haymaker pokemon.  Now that everyone knows they shouldnt avoid fast
pokes for fear of being a haymaker, lets talk a bout the deck.  Lets see,  it
uses fast pokes and uses no strategy besides dont let other guy get goin by
use of cheap methods.  Now personaly i dont hate the actual deck that much. 
Its perfactly respectable and if everyone didnt play it everyone wouldnt have
a problem about it.  The reason everyone uses it is it takes the strain of
them and puts it in the hands of their deck.  The thing i dont like about
them is that people just say that deck wins alot, ill copy it.  It takes the
fun out of the game.  The only big three deck i like is stall cause it takes
a smart guy to realize how to best controll the opponent.  The problem is in
timed tournys stall is worth less. People have to realize that building their
own decks is what makes the game fun.  I have no problem with people who make
their own decks, even if they are haymakers, and make them their way.  I at
one point just went around the killer decks and copyed one i liked.  I dont
do that any more even though my latest and best deck was inspired by getting
a severe beating at the hands of a dodrio deck.  I now have my own version
with my trade mark trainers and my trade mark pokes (like mime, i have made
no mime decks but after i lose i always say, man i wish i had mime).  Oh yeah
i forget who u are but the guy with the dodrio deck with magmar, mime and
flareon  thanx for the idea.  My deck uses cards like mime scyther, pinser,
chansy and so on.  I got a little of trak there but i really dont have too
much more too say.  I dont hate haymakers, i think there cheap and really
whoever uses a deck that they copie dfrom some one else is just hurting
themselves.  that is important so i'll say it again YOU'R JUST HURTING
YOURSELF AND YOUR POTENTIALLY CREATIVE MIND.  Unless you have no creativity u
should try to challenge your self.  I personally like to use underused cards.
Muk is never used so i use him,  Dodrio, Zapdos.  The list goes on for
ever(not really).  Im not really talking a bout haymakers anymore cause the
haymaker subject isnt about the deck any more is it.  Its about people who
use them EVEN THOUGH THEY COULD MAKE THEIR OWN DECK.  everyone should really
listen to this next statement because it is very important and basicly
summorizes every thing i have said here today-----Dont hate haymakers and
haymaker cards because they are all good and at one point ALL ORIGANAL.
People who use haymakers only use them because they are not creative.  Dont
email me why your deck is origanal because if it is a haymaker it isnt no
matter when u made it.  If you use haymakers u are stunting your creative
growth, unless ur full grown and in that case u are just plain unoriganal.  Th
at is all i really have to say .  Please read this whole article if your one
