Hey people!!!

    I would just like to say some things to all the people who have been
complaining, copmlaining, complaining, saying that banning or restricting
cards is the only way. This is STUPID! If you ban a card, another card will
just take its place. Eg: Hitmonchan will be replaced with Base or Rocket
Machop, Scyther by Jungle Weepinbell, Electabuzz by Dark Electrode, etc.
Sure, I know all the replacements are crap, but SO IS BANNING! If cards are
banned, they will be replaced. Then the replacements will be banned, and
pretty soon, people will just stop going to organized tournaments because
there is nothing left to play with.
    Wizards (or whoever thought of Prop15) should not be criticized for
introducing the 15 trainer rule, because at least they are doing SOMETHING
about Haymakers and TurboTuffs. It is a step in the right direction. Another
idea would be to introduce cards to counter Haymker Pokemon and Wigglytuff.
For example: Low Damage Gym - If a Pokemon takes 40 or more damage, the
Pokemon that dealt the damage receives damage eqaul to half that damage.
    Another thing I want to copmlain about is people bashing individual
cards. What's the point? Anyway, most of the time, these bashes are totally
misguided. I can remember an article (sorry, don't know which one) that said
PokeFlute was one of the Worst cards ever invented. PokeFlute is, in effect,
a prize. Use Pokeflute to put a weak basic on their bench, the Gust it out
and KO it. It won't work against all decks, (like Haymaker) but against
those decks, just DON'T USE THE CARD!
    Thanks for listening to my ramblings.
Feel free to send comments, questions, credit card numbers, and marriage
proposals to me at tom_eager00@hotmail.com Hatemail will be accepted, but
only if it's funny.

This is Choccobo signing off.
