I just recently looked at your articles section, and after
hearing everyones opinions about how this card rocks or this card sucks i
decided why not enlighten everyone. First of all, i want to put to rest
the hype of charizard. Dont get me wrong, i love this card. I think it
kicks butt and can beat anything if you play it right. However, it IS a
stage 2 pokemon and if you dont have the cards needed to get him from
your deck (along with the basic and stage 1) you are screwed. Many people
have worked around this with comp. search or the new jungle Poke ball
trainer card etc. However, as with any other pokemon, Charizard can be
put to sleep, confused, gust of winded, hurricaned, or removed entirely
from the game with cards like "evil" Machamp or Pidgeot. So he is good,
but it all depends on whos using him. 
	Second, I wanted to state my opinions on japanese cards. Someone
said they are stupid and people who collect them are as well. I myself
Like japanese cards. So what if you cant read them? if you bought
inquest's july issue it came with a FULL spoiler list! So what if they
aren't tourney legal yet? they will be soon, and rest assured as soon as
they are available you will see them pop up in tourneys. Another
important note on Japanese cards: Prices prices prices. Do we all
remember what happened with the basic set of pokemon cards when they hit
the shelves? sold out everywhere. Better get them now and avoid trying to
buy them later.
	Also, I've heard too much about what the best jungle card is. Its
stirred up too much controversy so im going to tell you what it is, and
its so obvious its almost a fact. It's not Mr. Mime, its Kangaskhan. 1
colorless to draw a card? who needs bill? and a comet punch with the
potential to pummel the opposition for 80 damage with 90hp and a
resistance to psychic. its like a wall pokemon that can attack (like
chansey almost).
	Oh yes and one more thing, farfetched is not a big deal. It does
not need to be in every deck and it is certainly not the best pokemon,
ill take a lickitung into my deck before i take a farfetcehd.
