>>56976962It was fun going back through some of the older sets I missed out on recently and discovering that the TCG pioneered a lot of mechanics the games would eventually try out. The "Poke Bodies" type stuff is fairly obvious, but then you had stuff like Delta Species, or even Rocket/Dark/Light before that, predicting eventual Regional variants and Tera types. Even stuff like Lv. X feels like a predecessor for Megas, though they lack the distinct visual change aspect.
