Don't complain about your favorite Pokemon being a complete shitmon, You have to make do with the limited tools while CHARIZARD gets 2 special snowflake forms, and a fuckton more bullshit after words. ITs more important to try (and fail) to win with the (limited) cards you have then complain about the shillmons making your favorite being reduced to obsolete garbage in comparison.
