Picture this. A Boy walks into his Local Card Shop & sees the New Neo
Revelation Boosters. He buys 3. Good so far. But imagine his Dismay when he
opens up the Packs. Pure Garbage. This is the Worst Pokemon TCG Expansion to
date. Ok so there's Smoochum(Quite Good) & the Evolution of Golbat(Sorry
forgoten Name) but that's 2 that I liked, the Others were Trash. Take Murkrow.
No not Genesis Murkrow. REVELATION Murkrow. 40HP (Worse but ok for Basic), No
Retreat (Nice), No Weakness(Wahey), but look at its attacks. Koga's Zubat
revisted. Call for Family. Made Famous the Nidoran Family. But Flock attack?
Yuck. "Flip Coin equal amount to No. of Murkrows on Bench. This does 10 more
Damage for each Heads". That added to its Starting Damage(10) equals an Average
of 30 Damage. This is Ok. For Magikarp. This will KILL Murkrow(Gen). Ok lets
look at some REALLY Bad Cards now. Unown B. The V.Weakened Version of Fossil
Slowbro. BUT only for Unowns. Standard Unown Fare. Hidden Power, 1 Retreat, Weak
to Psy, 50 HP but look at it PokePower, Bear. "Once during turn, you may move 1
Damage from 1 of your Poke with Unown in its name to Unown B. This power can't
be used if Unown B has 10HP: left". Boo. Why does Wizards release Poke Cards
like this? Oh & we haven't even got to Shuckle yet. 40HP, Weak to Grass,
Rock Type, 1 Retreat. Now look at its Attack Toxic Saliva."Flip Coin. Heads,
Defending Poke is now Poisoned. It now takes 20 Poison Damage instead of 10."
Pretty Good but it takes 2 Grass Energy(Note:Why does the Company that makes all
the Attacks & such Print Cards with eg.Water Energy, & have attacks that
make them use Electric Energy?). Then look at Hard Shell "Whenever attack does
40 or less damage to Shuckle, reduce damage to 10." Boo again. A Big Rip on
Erika's Dratini. ED did ALL Damge, but Shuckle doe 40 or less. There's also a
BAD Version of Lugia. 90HP, Weak to Psy, Psy Type(?), Resistance to Fighting, 2
Retreat. Not Bad but look at its Attack, Aerowing. For 4 Colorless Energy, you
can, "You may flip a Coin.Heads, this attack does 80 damge.Tails, Nothing".
You've took ages to Power up Lugia. & for 4 Energy you can do Base Damage of
40. 40?!?!?!? IT TOOK ME AGES TO POWER IT UP!!!! Anyway you're in 1 of those
Good Flip/Really Bad Flip Situations. Say what you like about Neo Revleation but
to me its a Poor Sequel after Neo Discovery & Genesis.
