>>32498806Okay, so I just got finished with Pokemon Trading Card Game 2, and my roommate, having noticed I had been playing it for a while and that I was enjoying it bought me a couple IRL starter decks from the XY Evolutions set.
I recognized several of the cards, but was really confused because 1. a lot of the numbers were way larger than I knew they were supposed to be and 2. all the poison types were eyeball now instead of leaf. He said "yeah, this is a set where they updated a bunch of old cards to fit the new meta. Appeal to nostalgia while handling powercreep and all that."
Also, I'm looking at a lot of the cards in this and there's a bunch of stuff I don't recognize. Two more types, on top of dark and steel, which I remember them adding back in gen2. Might have had a few. One I don't recognize I think is fairy, but the heck is that Jangmo-o's? Did they make dragon it's own type now? Also, what is GX? I can't read those moonrunes.
What have I missed since the days of yore? It looks like quite a lot.
