VULPIX: Vulpix vulpix vulpix!! [First of all, I want
to say, on behalf of Vulpixes everywhere, that I am
extremely offended by the way Vulpix is used in this
deck. There's a lot of other badly used Pokemon, but
that one really pisses me off. Expect to recieve a
letter from the Vulpix Anti-Defamation League.]

SPIKE: Erm, yeah. Don't say "piss," this is a family
website and we can't have that. Anyway, I agree with
Vulpix on this. To recap for those of you who are just
joining us, this is a semi-regular feature in which I
and Vulpix look over some of the more inane decks I
recieve and speculate as to the probable ancestry of
their creators. For example, here we have a person who
has "tweaked" a "Fossil Lockdown deck." By that, I
assume he bought the Lockdown theme deck and then
"tweaked" it, which apparently translates as "take out
all the good Pokemon and put in the ones I got in some
boosters, without regard for strategy or evolution."

VULPIX: Vulpix! [Oh, wait, there's something here at
the bottom. Maybe it'll tell us something we didn't
know already.]

>I'm not doing very good.

VULPIX: Vulpix. [Never mind.]

SPIKE: While we're on the subject of insulting good
Pokemon by using them badly, I should probably mention
Growlithe and Arcanine. According to my Sliding Scale
of Justice, the penalty for putting one of each in a
deck is...being tied to a parking meter and slapped
repeatedly with a sea bass.

VULPIX: Vulpix vulpix. Vulpix...vulpix vulpix. [Wow, a
Squirtle and a Dratini. Not to mention a Krabby and a
Kingler. Will the craziness never end? Oh, look--he
actually put in more basics than evolutions for two of
his families.]

SPIKE: Which ones?

VULPIX: Vulpix--vulpix. [Look--the Seadra and Rapidash
families. Of course, it's debatable whether a 4-1
evolution is better than a 1-1 evolutions.]

SPIKE: A 4-1 Rapidash evolution. He's going to get a
few more slaps for that one.

VULPIX: Vulpix vulpix. [Nine trainers. Very nice. It
would be nicer still if we had any idea which trainers
those were.]

SPIKE: It's okay. I can guess:

1 Full Heal
1 Devolution Spray
1 Gambler
1 Recycle
1 Mr. Fuji
1 Potion
1 Energy Search
1 Super Potion
1 Bill

VULPIX: Vulpix. [Sounds about right.]

SPIKE: The sole thing about this deck that doesn't
automatically earn the creator an "F" in deckbuilding
is the energy balance, which is decent. Any last
comments, Vulpix?

VULPIX: Vulpix vulpix! [I just want to reiterate my
position that this deck blows more than John Romero at
a hairdryer convention.]

SPIKE: Like the fox says, people. We're done, then?

VULPIX: Vulpix. Vulpix! [Yes, and not a moment too
soon. We've got two more decks left to go before we
get out of this fun house.]

SPIKE: I'm starting to get this pain right behind my
eyeballs.
