Hey all!
Well, in a week or so I'll be coming up on my 2-year anniversary as a
Pojo.com staff member and as a Deck Mech. In light of this, I've decided to
do something rather unique for my deck fixes up until the 24th.

When I had first began my work in the Shop, I did something like 13 deck
fixes the first week-I was stoked that I was chosen, so I worked my rear
off, lol. Well, those deck fixes were, I believe, Base through Team Rocket
expansion-wise. So, I say, why not fix them for today's enviornment? Not all
of them, mind you-just a few. ;-)

Here's the first deck in the Satoshi's Shop-Classic Fixes...thing. ;-\

Name: Project Agility
Originally Sent In/Fixed: The Week of 1/24/00

Okay, that's the deck that was sent in to me. My original fix follows.
>>>>
SATOSHI: Hmmm...I've got my work cut out for me.

Let's start with pokemon. He said his strategy involved the agility attack.
Let's take out the lickitung, then. In their place, add in two more
scythers. Free retreat is always good, and 30 damage attack is even better.
Other than that, the pokemon look pretty good. Onward.

The trainers need the most work. I noticed a lot of singles. So, let's get
to work. The item finder doesn't seem to serve any special purpose. It's
out. So's the scoop up, super potion and mr. fuji. That's four spaces, so
let's add in an 2 energy removals and one super energy removal.With the last
space, I'm going to add in another super energy removal and take out the
energy retrieval. In it's palce goes another energy removal. There. Now,
since your pokemon don't have much of a retreat cost, let's take out the
switches and add in another pokemon trader, so you can get out those
rapidash and fearow. I'm gonna also add another bill to increase your
drawing power. You were short 3 cards, so I'll add back in lickitung and
another bill. Hmmm...looks good. Let's take a look:

17 fire energy
4 DCE

3 scyther
3 fossil magmar
3 ponyta
2 rapidash
2 lickitung
2 spearow
2 fearow

4 pluspower
2 pokemon trader
2 professor oak
3 gust of wind
4 bill
4 energy removal
3 super energy removal

SATOSHI: Well, there you have it...hope this deck bring you some wins! Good
Luck and Happy Gaming!

Okay, let's take my original fix(above) and tweak it a bit.

Pokémon (17)
3 scyther
3 fossil magmar
3 ponyta
2 rapidash
2 lickitung
2 spearow
2 fearow

Hmmm....Well, I suppose this wasn't too bad for the era, but this would be
ripped apart in today's enviornment. We'll start by ripping the Likitung,
Spearow and Fearow out of the mix entirely. In their places, add 3 Blaine's
Ponyta lv13 and 3 Blaine's Rapidash in. Next, ditch the Scythers for 3
Cleffa, and take out one Magmar for another Rapidash:

Pokémon (17)
3 cleffa
2 fossil magmar
3 ponyta
3 rapidash
3 blaine's ponyta lv13
3 blaine's rapidash

Trainers (22)
4 pluspower
2 pokemon trader
2 professor oak
3 gust of wind
4 bill
4 energy removal
3 super energy removal

Excuse me for one second.
...
OH MY GOD! =X
...
Okay, now we can proceed. Remove the Pokémon Trader, 2 Gust of Wind, all
four Energy Removal, one PlusPower and the four Bill, giving us 13 spaces.
Add in 2 Cinnibar City Gym, 2 Professor Oak, 2 Misty's Wrath, 1 Time
Capsule, 3 Computer Search, and 3 Itemfinder. Whew....Next, remove 5 Fire
Energy for 3 Rocket's Sneak Attack and 2 Blaine, just in case those DCE
don't show up soon enough.

Trainers (27)
3 pluspower
4 professor oak
1 gust of wind
3 super energy removal
3 Computer Search
3 Itemfinder
2 Misty's Wrath
1 Time Capsule
2 Blaine
3 Rocket's Sneak Attack
2 Cinnibar City Gym

And the Energy is fine as we've left it:

Energy (16)
12 Fire Energy
4 DCE

God...what was I thinking? O_o!! Anyways, we're done. Expect two more
Classic Fixes this week, and three next week, ending with my first ever deck
fix...oh boy, looking at my original fix here, I can't wait to see what I
did to THAT deck. =/ Good luck and happy gaming!
