Hi Radar, it's me again. Man, you people just don't learn! Why in the world are you comparing Promo Mew and Promo Arcanine? They have different stages, are different types, have different purposes, and are made for two different themes! They have nothing in common at all! Nothing! (The fact that they're in the same card game doesn't count!) The fact that they're promos doesn't count. Heck, Psyduck and Kabutops have more in common! You may as well compare Rain of Tears and Super Energy Removal. They aren't even in the same card game, at least they are made for a similar theme! You say you have no real bias for writing this article. SO WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU WRITING IT?!!
        Why don't I like the point system. This is too long to describe, but I'll tell you this: There are not only problems with the system, but there are also problems with the people doing it. This article is a VERY good example. The problem with the author has already been explained in the fourth sentence of my first paragraph. The problem with the point system is the fact that it is one-sided against basics. How so? Let's say I was comparing Kabutops and Mew. Kabutops would win. Why? Because all his stats are better. "But he's a stage 2! His stats are better than Mew's, but Mew's a basic! Kabutops isn't worth the trouble to play as a stage 2!" I know that. Yet the point system still doesn't acknowledge that fact. DUH! Of course the stage 2 pokemon have better stats than basics (except for a few.), they're supposed to! They're Stage 2's for crying out loud! You have to work your way up the evolutionary scale!
        I've said it too many times, and I'll say it again, LEARN FROM THESE PEOPLE'S MISTAKES! It saves you from sounding stupid, and saves you from hatemail. AND STOP USING THE POINT SYSTEM! Thank you. I hope I haven't wasted my time writing this article. And now the "Traphic" Report...
