Thursday Nov 05, 2020

This is a big one, even with an entire topic getting cut out of it. But Dozer and Zac to sit down and ask themselves what the Pokemon Trading Card Game would look like if side decking was allowed. Would it be a problem? Or would it help balance gameplay? Additionally, Dozer looks at some of what he saw from the Battles of Legends event and talks about how that could show what a Gen 8 Restricted Format could look like for the Video Game Championships. Finally they look at some of the information they have from the Sword and Shield Beta Leaks that came out a couple weeks ago.
