This is the third disagreement about that Top 10 list of Base thru Rocket.
 
First off, Dark Dragonair should not be at #10. Sure, the attack is not all that good, but the Poke'mon Power is! Don't have Wiggly in your hand at the beginning? Get it with Dark Dragonair! Other than that, ever heard of Poke'mon Breeder?
 
I didn't read Ness's article, but I don't need to. Recycle just sucks. Maybe, if it works, you can use Bill afterward to get the card sooner, but that's IF IT WORKS, and I don't think people are going to waste deck space on a card that only works half the time.
 
Snorlax could NEVER be better than Scyther!  4 Colorless for an attack that does only does 30 damage with a chance of paralysis?!
 I don't think so! Thick Skinned prevents status changes, but who would use a Snorlax anyway?
 
Team Rocket Rattata is only known for its Poke'mon Power, and barely. Wanna know what your Prizes are? Use a Here Comes Team Rocket!! What about Quick Attack? What about it? The most it can do is 20! Still, the combination of TR Rattata and Jungle Mankey is good, but at the same time, not so good.
 
Anyone who thinks Charizard is good enough to be in the Top 10 doesn't have enough battling experience in the TCG to know the truth. Fire Spin just uses two much Energy and having to discard two in order to attack? Stick to Dark Charizard.
 
Nidoqueen is overlooked, and that Top 10 list thru Rocket only proves it. The only way Boyfriends can do 100 is if you have 4 Nidoking in play! Having four  Stage 2 Poke'mon on your Bench is a sure way of losing. Mega Punch is okay, though.
 
Even though Blastoise is a good card, and even though Blastoise is my favourite Poke'mon, I won't consider it the best card. After all, Blastoise is known for Rain Dance, not Hydro Pump.
 
 
I also noticed that he/she failed to mention Electabuzz, Wigglytuff and Hitmonchan, but could consider Snorlax the third best card. Yeah, right!
 
I know this subject has long gone, but I hadn't really read the article.
