>>24973992>No. This is NOT true at all, for a vast majority of card games. I know for a fact that neither Magic or YGO do this at any level near what Pokemon does.Are you fucking with me right now?
Go look at Oath of the Gatewatch spoilers, for a set that's not even out, and look at literally ANY card with the Cohort mechanic and tell me that they aren't just pack filler. Hell, look at most of the cards in BfZ, 90% of that set is filler and the only reason the set sells so well is the Expeditions and Gideon, everything else is pretty much garbage.
And most Pokemon cards being bad has more to do with how bad Power Creep is in Pokemon, with only EXes being playable and everything else being complete garbage. THIS is a bad card.
