    I love watching your card battle videos while having lunch !! (Thank you for making them) And you are rly good with commentary stuff!! Im only familiar with the oldest pokemon cards, so I love to see more of those! :)

    This is so Awesome. Wish there were a format on modern pokemon where the maximum rarity is just the rare to have a similar experinece to this!

      I play standard too, and it’s just too expensive. 130.00 a deck that rotates annually (but now they’re also doing rush rotations), is a lot to pay for these days. Retro is static, I love it.

      Gym leader challenge is such a format.

      ​@@MrFreezeProduct Not 1-for-1, but it's the most popular format in that vein, making it easy to find people to play against. Some people love the singleton rule (I do in theory, but I haven't done more than solitaire (or goldfish) the format), others place it at C on their tier-lists for being singleton. Personally, I still want to see a tier list of Gym Leader Challenge formats (One for each set release since its initiation) to help me pick a version for casual play so I wouldn't always be updating my lists, but I understand if treating GLC as a static format is antithetical to what many people find appealing about it (It's one of the things I would find appealing about it too if I didn't need to exercise self-control in how much time I spend researching and testing decks).

    I live in Japan and here the retro format is still popular with some tournaments organized by the fans
    We use a regulation system so the strongest cards can be limited, very fun to play!

      What are you using, something like 15/3?
      I wish we had tournaments here for retro, but they’re all standard. High is great too, but I like retro more.

      @@nickfanzo We use different regulations with a point system so basically you can spend 8 points on your deck and certain cards cost like 2 or 3 if they are really strong

      Ok . I play 93/94 magic the gathering too and we have something called x points in some play groups. Seems like the same thing, helps people who can’t afford power 9 to play. Also adds diversity

    Man. Cool video. Love the format and the OG damagecounters. I used them a few years back, but There's just too much HP these days.
    Great narration too, easy to follow. Thank you.

    Base-fossil is my favorite but I love the retro formats.
    I have been playing Pokémon with my 11 year old, and she loves it- playing standard.
    Then we tried base -fossil and she said it was such a better game, way more decisions etc. games aren’t decided by a good opening .

    I wonder if it would be better if we could see the players hands. Personally whenever i watch your videos i do think “huh sure i guess they had that in their hand” instead of being able to see what they are working with!

    • @holon_phantom
      @holon_phantom  Год назад +5

      We tried recording like that but our setup doesn't look very good with it. And since I edit out all the empty space between plays it makes the rest of the video look really janky.

    For some reason (idk why) i thought that you could only attach one energy card at a time?

    • @holon_phantom
      @holon_phantom  4 месяца назад

      You're right, you can only attach one energy from your hand per turn. Zapdos and mewtwo are using their attacks to get energies back from the discard pile

    1:20 “Your opponent shuffles that card into his or her deck” would get cancelled in today’s culture. 2025 cards be like “shuffles into his/her/their/it/zhe/them deck”
