Best Card Series.

[Nny]

Well which is your favorite card series through out these 10 years?
For example Unseen Forces, Team Rocket, or the Gym Leader series?

 

[MidnightScott]

Oh god -_-;

ummmmm.....I like some of the EX Series alot. It's hard to be specific - considering their's thousands of cards...

BTW, I never played the Trading Card Game once in my life. I just loved collecting the cards XD

Gym Leaders, or Neo. Destiny to be exact.

I loved Gym Leaders because I had some holos from almost every gym leader and, I just had the coolest deck. :O And in Neo Destiny I got a Shining Mewtwo... That has got to be the coolest card I have ever seen. ;o;

I just only liked to collect. Never had i ever played the card game :/

Gym Challenge. I was waiting for that one to come out of Japan forever, back when I collected the cards.

 

[bman14]

defidently jungle, because i have every single card in that deck, holo and non holo rares.

 

[Aptenodytes]

I havent played the card game since the first set (base set) came out, but those cards were pretty fun to play with when i was in 2nd grade

Ruby and Sapphire series is my nomination because it introduced and was a springboard to what the current state of the card game is now, the TCG.

The Neo series would be The One for me. I mean, it Reloaded the game with the new (Johto) Pokemon, and made Revolutions in card art and style. It was the Agent, that I feel, got the TCG past the days of standard haymakers and such and into a few more varied types. Though it was also the first series, and only so far (not counting unusable cards/promos) that had banned individual cards.

 

[Luxuria]

Neo......because that was the only one I grew to like. I also really loved Johto and those cards were based on it.

 

[Jade]

For me, it was the original three, ahh these good ol days.

I loved the Neo sets, especially Revelation. Revelation introduced some of the game's most powerful cards, and really started to speed the game up. Sure, it was nothing as fast as it is now, but it really sped the game up. My favorite card from the whole set is Raikou (surprise, surprise), with Suicune being a close second. Anyone remember these?

Raikou
80 HP
{L}
BASIC

Pokémon Power: Lightning Burst
Whenever you attach a L Energy Card from your hand to Raikou, your opponent switches his/her Defending Pokémon with one of his/her Benched Pokémon (if any). This power stops working while Raikou is Asleep, COnfused, or Paralyzed.

LLL: Lightning Tackle 50
Flip a coin. If tails, Raikou deals 20 damage to itself.

Weakness: F
Resistance:
Ratreat Cost: 1

Shuffle their bench and hit the crap out of their Pokémon. There is nowhere to hide from Raikou!

Suicune
70 HP
{W}
BASIC

Pokémon Power: Crystal Body
Prevent all effects of attacks, except damage, done to Suicune. This power stops working while Suicune is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

WWW: Aurora Wave 30
Flip 2 coins. If both are heads, the defending Pokémon is Paralyzed. If one is heads, the defending Pokémon is Asleep.

Weakness: L
Resistance:
Retreat Cost: 1

This card stops the Mr. Mime EX deck cold, but it can't do anything. It would be a matter of whoever doesn't deck out to be the winner in most cases. Additionally, its attack has a 75% chance of inflicting a status ailment. And 30 damage for WWW with any chance for status wasn't that bad then.

These were two of the most broken cards in the game. I used them both along with the 60 HP Entei in a traffic light-style LRW deck with Lugia from NeoGenesis (the 80 HP Entei only works well in a straight R deck). It poaned all but the fastest decks. Not to mention we had powerhouse basics like Electabuzz that could deal 30 guaranteed damage and possibly 10 more for just 1L.

Electabuzz (base), Magmar (fossil), and Lapras (fossil) were the weaker attackers of the deck to buy me time while I try to draw and power up a legendary Pokémon. To speed up the process, I ran Kangaskhan (jungle), the best drawing engine in the game. Just for a cost of 1, you could draw an extra card every turn (it used up your attack though.) Still, that's plenty of drawing power. Four Energy Searches also let me get the correct colors when I needed them. With no need for Evolution cards, it really freed up deck space for Energy and Trainers. I think I was running 16 basics and 15 trainers in the deck, leaving 29 Energy. I believe I ran 8 each of LRW, with four Rainbow and one double colorless for retreating some of my stallers. Call me crazy, but having that much energy solved all my problems.

Neo Destiny was the peak of the entire series. I wish I bought more.... =\

 

[Dimentio]

i dunno...probably one of the Neo series because they had the first * cards, which were just called shining _____

~fuzzy out~

 

[Jetx]

The originals. Cards are getting OTT now. IMO

 

[DJ Panic!]

unseen forces,my collection has grown since i bought it.

 

[Esperante]

Neo Genesis hands down was the best set ever made in the TCG.

 

[Locke-Kefka]

the old G/S/C cards.....i miss remembering when i was collecting them and my dad always buying them for me

 

[RossM]

Fossil- The extinct poke`mon of the original generation really 'rocked' my world.

BTW, does anyone think there should be a way to find and revive a fossil of one the prehistoric stronger Magikarp said to have existed?

 

[S.Suikun]

Hidden Legends practically made my entire deck. Too many kickass cards (Glalie/Starmie pwns). When Modified filters it out this fall, my deck is doomed.
