>>18385913It gets better. Let us not forget Junk Arm, Poketurn, Super Scoop Up, Crobat G and Seeker! Basically, Sabledonk went first, went through its entire deck with trainers, used all the return to hand effects on Crobat, killed everything but the opponent's active with Flash Bite, then killed the last thing with Sableye.
TLDR; Nigga Sableye caused the tcg community to riot, so Pokemon rotated into a shitty format for 2011's US nationals and worlds.
And then Tropical Beach happened. But the Beach distribution was good to me, so I'm not complaining.
