    This entire 2nd block of Sun and moon sets is incredible and genuinely rivals the runs the DP and EX era. This was my final set of competitive play prior to Brilliant Stars. I absolutely love this era so much. Currently working SM-LOT gauntlet. I also think this era being so great makes me hate the tag team era even more.

    I'm surprised but relieved to find that there are others like me who actually loved SM up until around the point that Tag Team GX were first introduced. I was living and breathing PTCG when this set dropped lol. I think I have the most nostalgia for Unbroken Bonds, it was the only set I bothered to fully completed on Pokemon Trading Card Game Online back when that still existed.

      the Sun & Moon to Lost Thunder format is an incredibly popular retro format played by many. I definitely recommend giving it a look if you want some nostalgia

    I'm surprised you didn't mention Typhlosion. Maybe I was just bad at the game as a kid but it was a pretty good single prize attacker when I played against my friend who used it because it was able to use double colorless thanks to its ability

    4:17 it is a crime that your Ditto Cube and its rules aren't posted on cube Koga. I would love to learn more about it, but I'm not sure if it's worth grinding several hour-plus long videos to try and figure out the list. (Maybe you just weren't aware you were committing a felony.)

      Looks good! The one card I'm not sold on is ancient trait Porygon-Z, since the lack of on-drop evolution effects seems to imply it's mainly in there for the second attack.
      Which cards have been changed since you last updated it?

    I played the TCG as a kid, but haven't played since 2014, so these might be noob questions. What the heck is the "Lost Zone"? Like, was it a thing way back in the day or was it a post-2014 addition to the game?
    Also, where does the Lost Zone come from in the lore of Pokemon? It seems weird that a bunch of normal ass Pokemon like Skiploom and Trumbeak are tapping into this ethereal magic to attack with.

    • @WhimsicottTCG
      @WhimsicottTCG  26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @williamtrowbridge4868 Lost Zone was a mechanic introduced in 2009's Platinum set. All cards that go to the Lost Zone are gone forever. It was, at first, used as a way to disrupt the opponent harder with the effects of attacks but eventually entire strategies came out with Lost Thunder that made use of Lost Zone to function

    I wish Pokemon never power creeped past Lost thunder..Everything after has felt too overtuned...I don't think anyone would disagree when I say that having 300 HP Pokemon being prominent every block is really unfun.

    • @WhimsicottTCG
      @WhimsicottTCG  หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's not really the numbers of the HP that matters, it's really in how they design the effects, damage, and HP to work in tandem. Tag Team era really accelerated the effect power creep with attacks accelerating 3 energy from the deck and being easily usable on the first turn of the game with Welder or Koko Prism/Thunder Mountain.
      Sword & Shield era upped the damage with 2 Prize Basics regularly outputting 250+ damage on the first turn of the game. VSTAR era once again put forward a ton of effect creep with Lugia and Palkia VSTAR in particular.
      SVI output power creep in the speed of the game again with Basic Pokemon and upped the damage of Stage 2s to match the power creep that happened with Basics in SWSH
