Hey Pojo,
 
Why is everyone making a big fuss about base Set 2?  I like base set 2!  Big deal if they're not making some cards anymore.  It's not like they no longer exist!  let's take a look at what they're taking out:
 
Ponyta line:  Rapidash is decent, but it isn't that big of a deal that they're taking it out.  You'd probably already have about 2 of em anyway because they're uncommon.
 
Eevee lines:  WHY is EVERYONE making a big fuss about these guys not being made anymore?  They SUCK!!!!(exept flareon)  Jolteon can only do a gaurenteed 10 damage And vaporeon does 50 for FIVE ENERGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So what if they all have colorless attacks?  Quick attack sucks!  But Flareon is decent, though.
 
Oddish lines: This is the only one that makes me mad, but I can still live without it.
 
There are also some holos that are no longer in holo form.  This actually makes me happy because I have a 1st edition holo venomoth and it will be worth $$.
 
Another reason why I like Base Set 2 is because Base Set and jungle are my 2 favorite sets.  I think that it would be great for them to get mixed together.  I like scyther, blastoise, venusaur, venomoth, nidoking, wigglytuff, etc. and I hate getting 2 different packs to get the cards I like.
 
That is why i like base set 2.
