Dr. Andonuts's article has some very wrong statements in it.  Shall we go over some??
 
Here's his opinion on lass:
 
<<<Lass- This card is OK, but not as good as people say. I play Stall alot and
I use Lass alot, so I know from experience. It works, but not always. I'd
say it's worth putting no more than 2 in a stall deck and NOT using them to
nullify Trainers. It doesn't work. If you're that desperate to crush
Trainers, use Imp. Oak or Psyduck, but not Lass. It just don't work.>>>
 
You're wrong.  lass is OK with stall, but is a lethal weapon against raindance and haymaker.  Lass on the 1st turn, take away those breeders for blastoise.  Lass away all those scoop ups and CPU searches in haymaker.  See?  Oh, and one more thing.  You play stall ALOT??  I can't take it anymore.  ALOT IS NOT A WORD!!!!  "A" and "lot" are words, but ALOT ISN'T!  Don't even get me started on how improper grammar annoys me.
 
He says this about Koffing:

<<<Koffing- This guy is good, but without good Trainers or luck should ONLY be
used for support, Confusing them, then Poisoning and letting someone else do
the dirty work. Good coinflips work in your favor but not often as we'd all
like. Consider a few for your Grass deck, but not too many unless you are
*shudder* obsessed with Weezings.>>>
I disagree.  I wouldn't really want to pay the retreat cost to "let someone else do the dirty work" because the enemy can go down fast even with a 10 damage move all because your enemy is cnfused and poisoned at the same time.  Also, I think it would be a good idea to have 4 Koffings in a deck, just keep 'em all benched until they're able to attack.
 
He says this 'bout Kabuto:

<<<Kabuto: Why do you all hate him so much? If you can get him out early enough
he ROCKS! (no pun intended). He totally crushes all the 10 attacks of the
early basics and coupled with Potions and Defenders, he is king of the early
game.>>>
*tries to hold in the laughter but it just has to escape*...............AAAAHAHHAHAHHHHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA!  LOL!  Kabuto evolves from the 10HP fossil and has 30 HP!!!  10 damage!!!  What do you mean by "all the 10 attacks of the early basics"??  The only basics that can only do 10 that I see being played are Grimer and Squirtle...that is...in my area.  But I can't assume that many more are played in other areas.  King of the early game?  Ever hear of a htmonchan??  How 'bout a 'buzz?  weakness to grass?  Scyther fodder!!  Oh, but wait, he evolves.  I guess I will have to take back what I said because Kabutops is one of the best cards in the game(laughing over sarcasm) Kabutops bites!  a stage 2 with 60HP?!?!  Only 40 damage??  LOL!
 
That is why I disagree with Dr. Adonuts.
 
Oh well, enough blabbering, c-ya later!
