Hey Pojo!

I'm new to the card game but I think I deserve to say something.  First of 
all, I think you should try to use different kinds of Pokemon instead of one 
type, so you can consentrate on weaknesses and advantages.  It will be harder 
to get the right types of energies but if you have enoufg of them you'll have 
enough to attack with.  Second of all I think the most overlooked Pokemon is 
Magmar.  Just look at the stats:

Name: Magmar
Evolution: Basic Pokemon
Type: Fire
HP: 50 (Great for a basic Pokemon)

Attacks:
    
    Fire Punch          2 Fire Energy                                   30 HP
    Flamethrower        2 Fire , 1 Colorless (Discard 1 Energy)         50 HP


Weakness: Water
Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: 2 

I think that the attacks are good however the retreat cost is a little high.  
Overall though I think that Magmar Is a very good Pokemon.


Another Pokemon that I think is often overlooked is Tangela, Lets look at the 
stats:

Name: Tangela
Evolution: Basic Pokemon
Type: Grass
HP: 50 (Great for a Basic Pokemon)

Attacks:

  Bind              1 Grass, 1 Colorless    20 HP       50% chance of 
Paralyzing
  Poisonpowder      3 Grass                 20 HP       50% chance of 
Poisoning


Weakness: Fire
Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: 2

Tangela has great attacks, on either you can poison or paralyze.  Both take 
away 20 which is pretty good.  The reatreat cost, again, is high but worth it.

The third most overlooked Pokemon is probably Lickitung.  Here's it's stats:

Name: Lickitung
Evolution: Basic Pokemon
Type: Colorless (That's a plus)
HP: 90 (Extraordinary for a Basic Pokemon!)

Attacks:

    Tongue Wrap     1 Colorless     10 HP       50% chance of Paralyzing
    Supersonic          2 Colorless     0 HP        50% chance of Confusion

Weakness: Fighting
Resistance: 30- Psychic
Retreat Cost: 3 Colorless

Great HP, Okay Attacks, Psychic Reistance, and a Basic Pokemon. All great 
things. However, Lickitung does have obvious weaknesses, 3 to Retreat is an 
outrageous cost.  It's attacks also are not the best but it's great heath 
makes up for that.  Plus if you can get it Paralyze and confused, that's 
really good.


The Forth most overlooked Pokemon is Staryu:


Name: Staryu
Evolution: Basic Pokemon
Type: Water
HP: 40
Attacks:

    Slap                    1 Water                         20 HP


Weakness: Electric
Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: 1 


Great Attack for only one energy,  20 off for one slap.  It can easily wipe 
out most basic pokemon so it is great to start with.  It has a reasonable 
retreat cost and an avg. HP for a Basice Pokemon.  It's evolved form 
(Starmie) is also a great Pokemon.
One time I was in a battle and Staryu took out 2 Pokemon before fainting in a 
3rd battle! one of the cards was also a Stage 1 Pokemon


Those are 4 great Basic Pokemon that are very common and most everybody can 
get there hands on.   You also don't have to worry about evolving.  These are 
great starting Pokemon for people who want to start collecting. 

Love the site Pojo!  Please post this on your site :).
