Hello PUCLonians and welcome to another edition of Anything Goes. In recent weeks, we have had more news drops for Pokemon Sun & Moon (SuMo). With all of the news drops and Pokemon that are being released, I would almost expect the whole game will be spoiled by the time the games are released. There are days I wish I wasn't as plugged into the Pokemon community as I am so I could be surprised by these developments when the game released. Despite that sentiment, I am still excited for how the most recent developments will reveal themselves in the games. In the following article, I will discuss some of the major points of the recent news dumps and then focus in on my thoughts about Ultra Beasts and the “Snap” mechanic of the game.If you haven't seen the new trailers, check out the following links on the Pokemon Channel on Youtube:New PokemonThere are a bunch of new Pokemon to comment on, briefly. So many of these have great real world inspirations! Crabrawler, a pure fighting type, is based off of a Coconut Crab. Now, some people might wonder why this isn't also a water type, being a crab, but it turns out that Coconut Crabs don't swim, so it totally makes sense. Stufful is the epitome of cute! Sandygast and Palossand are really fun concepts and it will be interesting to see what becomes of them.New FormsThe most recent Alolan forms we got were for Rattata and Raticate. Apparently, the people of Alola brought Youngoos to get rid of Rattata on the islands. This drove Rattata to a particular part of the islands and changed their habits, turning them into Dark type Pokemon. I like the mouse-tache on the Rattata but I am disappointed it didn't become more exaggerated with Raticate. Despite this, I do like the chubby cheeks that Raticate has.New Z-MovesIt was shown that some Pokemon have their own exclusive Z-moves. I don't know for sure, but it seems as though there are specific Z-crystals for these, as well. I don't think this becomes a replacement of Mega Evolution (especially with a particular piece of advertisement that has been released in Japan), but it is certainly an interesting inclusion. I am really excited to see how this shakes up competitive play for the next few years!Aether Foundation and Type: NullThe Aether Foundation looks like an interesting counter to Team Skull. They almost seem overly good and clean. I have heard some rumblings that the Aether Foundation might end up being the evil team and that Team Skull will have a change of heart 3/4 through the game.Type: NullType: Null is so interesting! It is the synthetic Pokemon made to rival the strength of legendaries. It's mask is made to hinder its agility. I can only imagine what would happen if the mask was removed. Also, notice how the mask resembles a certain other Pokemon… If you are at all interested in a super theory where “it all comes together” I highly suggest you check out Lockstin's channel. He is a video game/Poketuber with a fascinating theory about how SuMo has elements that draw from practically every other Pokemon game and how it is all related to Alchemy. His theory (playlist linked here) has 3 main videos (one of which has yet to be released as of the writing of this article) and a few small supplementary videos to the theory. The main videos definitely get a little long but they are worth the watch.Ultra BeastsWhat to make of this wonderful beast!? Is it a Pokemon? If it is, why make the distinction of an Ultra Beast? Is it legendary? Can you catch it? (I, like TCGcaster and fellow writer, Lord Jushiro, hope that you can. Gotta Catch ‘Em All!!!) There was a trailer where the protagonist and a few others watched this Pokemon emerge from a portal. And the fact that it is listed as UB-01 makes it seem as though there are more like this to come! I feel like there may be at least three other of these beast. This one seems very elegant and floaty. I feel like there may be others that are sharper or more solid in design. It also seems as though this is something different. It somehow has a grander feel than that of a typical mythical or legendary Pokemon. It's hard to describe, but I am very interested in seeing what this has to bring to the games.“Snap” is back… kindaIt was also revealed in the most recent trailer that there would be some aspect that is akin to the N64 game, Pokemon Snap. This was a fun, short game that allowed you to take pictures of Pokemon on a particular island. This was a beloved favorite with many fans of the series and sadly never got a sequel. There seemed to many opportunities to execute this concept but it never came to fruition, until now. It looks like there are some specific picture taking spots within the game where you can take pictures of local Pokemon. I hope that the Pokemon that are found at these spots are determined by the day/night cycle and that the areas may even be vacant, at times. This definitely seems like “Snap Lite” since you aren't moving and it doesn't seem as though you can effect the Pokemon at all like in the original “Snap” game, but the specifics are yet to be seen. The one thing that really got my sold on the idea is this:It's hard to see, but you know what it is. That is a wild Dragonite! You can take a picture of (and possibly catch) a wild Dragonite in this game! If the pictures you get to take are as cool as this is, I will play this part of the game to its fullest extent.What are your favorite parts of the new videos/trailers? Let me know in the comments below. If you haven't done so already, go read “The Fluff” by the Fluffiest Whimsicott where she goes into more depth about her initial thoughts on the Aether Foundation and Type: Null. That article can be found here. And if you want the full lowdown about all of the new information, check out Viger's recent article of the news.Until next time…-Prof. Snag Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to another installment of BREAKing Card, where we analyze, critique and breakdown our favorite TCG news! The World Pokémon Championships are just around the corner and because of this news is a bit light this month; nevertheless there are still a few points to talk about! Steam Siege will be officially out on August 3rd so many of you are enjoying the prerelease tournaments this weekend, building decks with unfamiliar cards in an unfamiliar meta, it truly is a fun way to play. But I digress so let's get to the reason that we're all together here today, the Base Set gets reprinted!!!Oh yes, I was “that” kid..Known to us as XY12- Evolutions, it lands in America on November 2nd! It features classic cards from the original Base Set with their original artwork! Of course we are not talking about exact replicas as we all know it would never survive in today's standards so expect attacks and HP to be altered. It's very exciting to be able to collect these little monuments from our past once again. Also joining the original cast are a few new faces such as four new Pokémon BREAK and 12 new Pokémon EX cards. Among these you will find new prints of Mega Venusaur EX, Mega Blastoise EX and Mega Charizard EX cards. I can already find myself reminiscent the days when I would punch kids in the playground for that rare Charizard… What?Name's a little on the head if you ask me…In other news we now have the new theme deck lists for both “Gears of Fire” which features Volcanion and “Ring of Lightning” which instead features Hoopa Unbound. The first is made up of Fire and Metal Pokémon and includes two copies of Volcanion which we know is a great card but more importantly it also includes two copies of Ninja Boy who we all know to be the real star of this set (alongside Pokémon Ranger). In the other corner we have the less interesting Hoopa Unbound with his crew of Psychic and Lightning Pokémon. If you are interested in competitive play I would recommend grabbing two ”Gears of Fire” theme decks to have a full play set of both Volcanion and Ninja Boy! Now if only they would do this and include two Shaymin EX. Hey, a man can dream… and also Sun and Moon…Next on the list we have everyone's favorite non-legendary legendary dog in the form of Arcanine BREAK! Pokémon's version of Clifford will have 160HP and one attack called Turbo Flame. For Fire and a Colorless you can deal 80 damage plus choose two Basic Energy cards from your discard pile and attached it to one of your Benched Pokémon. It's basically a weaker version of Mega Manectric EX with less HP and more time needed to set up. It's definitely not a great card but an interesting one. The art, of course, is fantastic with the golden Arcanine howling at its component. It is worth noting that the Stage 1 Arcanine for this BREAK will be the Basic Set's reprint. A BREAK is as good as its Stage 1 so we should wait for the reveal of regular Arcanine before judgement although I would not hold my “Fire Breath”. I know, why does Fluffiest Whimsicott continue to let me pun you to death is beyond me.Bad boy!That is it for the news! Let me know what you guys think in the comments below, are you excited that we're going to get a reprint of the Base Set? What do you think about that Arcanine BREAK? Don't miss our next episode of the PUCL TCGcast which will air the second Thursday of next month. Until then PUCLonians, star tune right here for all your Pokémon needs! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Greetings PUCLlonians! Did you miss me?… I didn't think so… but nonetheless welcome once more to the new, improved, and hopefully more interesting BREAKing Card, where we analyze, critique and breakdown our favorite TCG news! The “news” part is new, because talking about what is hip and now is what is hip and now… right? Anyhow, since Pokémon is leaking more information than our shady politicians, we got a lot to talk about! Let's get this party started with none other than our favorite Gen 1 Grass Starter! The original party starter, Venusaur!The new “Red and Blue Collection: Venusaur EX” is out in stores since Wednesday, July 13 for a mere penny of $24.99. While the American version comes with a Venusaur EX promo, a Venusaur figure, and four Generations boosters, the European version has the same items, but swaps out the figure for a jumbo card (sorry Fluffiest Whimsicott!). The Venusaur EX included might not be very competitive but for collectors it is one heck of a pretty card. Its first attack, Poison Powder, does 60 damage and poisons your opponent active Pokémon while its second attack, Jungle Hammer, does 90 damage and heals 30 damage from Venusaur EX. While both might sound interesting, they are way too expensive for their own good. Nevertheless this is a great collection box and you shouldn't miss out. For all of you Pokémon BREAK aficionados, the next BREAK Evolution Box is also out, this time featuring Ho-Oh and Lugia! Sitting pretty at a retail price of $24.99, this box features Ho-Oh BREAK and Wobbuffer BREAK, with a little bit a Lugia as well, a jumbo Ho-Oh BREAK promo and of course five boosters. If you enjoy these legendary birds then this deal is for you, otherwise I would skip it if you're more into the competitive side. Man, Ho-Oh can't catch a BREAK! (Get it, cause it has a BREA…. Nevermind) Next we have Genesect, that bug Pokémon that I have never been able to pronounce correctly, arriving in a new promo Metal card. A basic Pokémon with 110 HP, weakness to Fire and resistant to Psychic, carries two attacks and frankly neither are particularly good. For one Metal and one Colorless Energy, Linear Attack does 30 damage to one of your opponents Pokémon while ignoring weakness and resistance. Its second attack, Destructor Beam, does 90 damage for three Metal Energies and allows you to discard an Energy attached on the opponent's Active Pokémon if you flip heads on the coin. Competitive wise this card is garbage, but for a collector it is truly a work of art. I mean… LOOK AT IT!!!It's sooo pretty!My favorite news of the week goes to the announcement of “Pikachu & New Friends” blisters coming in November! This is our first Sun and Moon cards to be released! It will feature exclusive holo promos of Pikachu, Rowlet, Litten and Popplio! Consider this as the “lead-in” product to introduce the latest generation of Pokémon to the TCG world. If history is any indication we will see this new set arriving in stores February 2017. No matter whom your favorite Gen 7 Stater is, you can't miss out in owning the first ever printed versions of their cards!But wait, there's more! The new Metal Fairy Pokémon Magearna now makes an appearance in the TCG! This promo card has 80 HP and two attacks, but neither is worth discussing. Again this is for the true collector or metalheads (Looking at you Viger!). However two blisters were announced for Steam Siege that includes the Volcanion and shiny Gardevoir pins to collect! I know what Thatch is spending his pokedollars on! Lastly we got Yvelta BREAK, Greedy Dice and Ninja Boy confirmed for Steam Siege, which is great news however it is almost confirmed that Karen (the Night March Killer) will not make it in time for Worlds. This is especially troublesome as Pokémon Ranger did indeed make the cut making most Night March counters vulnerable to its powers. Although many are quick to assume that this means Night March is this year's Worlds Championship winner deck, I still hope to see a surprise underdog in the lead! Go Paul!! The hero we need, but apparently don't deserve…That's it for the news! If you haven't listened to it yet please check out our most recent PUCL TCGcast where we discuss the rotation in much more detail and also have an exclusive interview with none other than Paul Johnston, 3rd place finalists in the US Pokémon national Championships! Until next time, keep on TCGing! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
