Argh!!!
*Note to readers of my other articles: I now use a different font since it looks more professional and serious... =)*
I'm sick of those ignoramouses that use the point system of:
 
HP
Gyarados - 100
Blastoise - 100
 Tie
 
ARGHHH!!!
That doesn't prove much......they CAN build on this......but that point system can only go so far.  First, they need to add more categories, such as:
 
The amount of Colorless Energy needed in Moves
Lower Evolution Stages
Pokemon Power
Versatility of Pokemon Power
Quality of the Move ( Not just the Damage )
Popularity of Weakness
DCE Versatility ( Small category, Important though )
Rarity
Card Combos
 
Remember, this is only an expirimental rating system thought of right off the bat. 
Now, Using these Principals, lets rate two cards, such as, Dewgong and Gyarados.
*I'm not bothering to WRITE the stats since you all have already seen too many of this comparison
 
HP - Gyarados - Gyarados up by 1
Attacks - Gyarados - Gyarados up by 2 ( stronger bubblebeam )
Retreat Cost - Dewgong - Gyarados up by 1
DCE Versatility - Dewgong is able, Gyarados not - Tie now
Amount of Colorless In moves - Dewgong up by 1
Lower Evolutions - Dewgong - Dewgong up by 2
Rarity - Dewgong - Dewgong up by 3
Pokemon Power - None
Weakness - Gyarados ( Can't be KO'ed in a hit by his weakness...Scyther, while Dewgong can be KO'ed in a hit by 'buzz ) - Dewgong up by 2
Resistance - Gyarados - Dewgong up by 1
Card Combos - Gyara - 'toise, but Dewgong can do it too....and Dewgong can do fine by itself, but Gyarados is more deadly charged....tie - Dewgong up by 1
 
Well, Well, seems Dewgong IS better, but then again, Gyarados is weak because of his energy sucking quality, but Dewgong has a slightly weaker attack, so they are both good in their own ways, but by themselves, its Dewgong.

P.S. Remember, this system can only be used 1 on 1 card comparisons
