1. Lass
Oh, you both shuffle your trainers back into your deck. Yippie skippie.
NEXT!

2. Charizard (Don't hate me for this, it's my own opinion)
Hmm.......so much energy just to able to USE the attack, and then you lose
2 energy, so you have to wait 2 turns to get to attack again. You realize
that a Porygon and Kadabra could take this guy out in 3 turns? The porygon
changes his weakness to psychic, gets fried, and lets the Kadabra take
over. While Charizard's reenergizing, the Kadabra deals a whopping 100
damage with its Super Psy attack each turn. Before the Charizard gets
enough energy to use Fire Spin again, it's taken 200 damage and KERSPLAT!
You lose Porygon, he loses Charizard. Bigger loss for him, since he ALSO
lost all the energy attached to Charizard, and a Charmeleon and Charmander.
In total, they could've lost 6 cards to your 2 (Porygon and the 1 energy
needed for Conversion.)

3. Voltorb
Lemme get this straight....as Voltorb, he only has 40 hp and a weakness to
fighting. Machop'll kill him in one Low Kick. Plus he can only do 10
damage. As Electrode, sure, the attack's nice, since it does 50 damage, but
at 3 energy that'll take a while, so he probably won't make it. The only
good thing I can say about Voltorb is the ability to become Electrode and
then a double-anything-you-want...but then again, your opponent gets a
prize out of it, bringing YOU closer to defeat.

4. Rattata
10 damage attack, 30 hp, weakness to psychic. Even an ABRA could beat this
guy.

5. Ratticate
10 damage attack, 60 hp, weakness to psychic. Sure, Hyper Fang's nice,
since it can do up to 60 damage for 3 energy of any color, but against the
types of pokemon that would be USEFUL against, they'll usually have an
attack that'll murder Ratticate in one shot. No fun.

6. Abra
30 hp, 10 damage attack, and deals commits suicide if it's confused. No
thanks. Although Kadabra and Alakazam are great, their younger sibling just
plain SUCKS.

7. Imposter Professor Oak.
This is a no-no. If you're opponent's got more than 7 cards, they obviously
didn't have anything they needed, and now they might. If they had LESS,
they probably needed something, and now they might have it. Bad card by all
means.

8. Magikrap......karp (I ALWAYS say that!!)
I know, I know, I KNOW. It can turn into Gyarados, el Butt-kick Grande. But
think about it. 30 hp? And it needs 3 energy before it can use any of
Gyarados' moves...You'd better be powering him up on the bench and pray
your opponent doesn't have Gust of Wind. Otherwise he's feasting on
Karp-kabobs and you're paying the tab.

9. Pokemon Flute
Only use this card'll ever have: If your opponent was dumb enough to be
packing Rattatas, Abras, and Magikarp.

10. Devolution Spray
Slap the man who developed this card! De-evolving a Pokemon? Hello!? If you
want to end the status effects on something, use a Full Heal or Switch for
cryin' out loud!!! Don't de-evolve the @#$ thing!!


That's my opinion. (Don't mind the attitude, it's just a hangover from a
caffiene rush. *buzzed*)
