to pojo,
    your site is the best, keep it up.  i am writing you concerning the basic 
pokemon.  i will admit that most basics dont have  the damage dealing power 
as say a stage 1 or 2.  but, getting out a pokemon and all you have to do is 
attach energys  is great.  i know i am the thousandth person saying this but 
haymakers and other deck of the sort are the best.  dont get mad at me but 
before giving your rattatas to your little brother look at it for a moment.  
resisitance to physcic and a free retreat cost, these stupid little commons 
are some of the most annoying pokemon out there.  did a mention 20 damage 
with one energy?  what about mewto?  this pokemon eats big guys for lunch.  
while your oppenant is trying to find his blastoise, you can be killin his 
squirtle with a chan, even if you only have 1 energy!!!  dont get me wrong, 
stage 1 and 2 are great, but a basic is alot faster.
        if you think you have heard enough about this sort of thing e-mail me
