Line 80:
== Trading Card Game ==
* The Game Boy Color version of the ''[[Pokémon Trading Card Game (video game)|Pokémon Trading Card Game]]'', faithful to the original game, had hundreds of cards that relied on a coin flip. For example, the ''Poké Ball'' card allows a player to search their deck for any Pokémon and put it into their hand, but only if a coin flip comes up heads. This was not in itself unbalanced, but the problem came when the game's coin flipping system was '''not randomized'''. A player with a good sense of timing could earn a favorable result on '''every coin flip'''. This made cards like [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/b1/Vileplume_Jungle_15.jpg Vileplume]{{Dead link}} and [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/bc/Kangaskhan_Jungle_5.jpg Kangaskhan]{{Dead link}} able to destroy an opponent in just a few turns.
** On the subject of the Game Boy Color version, Imakuni? was a [[Game Breaker]]. He was weaker than all the AI characters, but if you defeated him (which was quite often), he gives you an unheard-of four booster packs. This makes racking up cards rather easy.
** There's also Pokémon like Hitmonlee who could attack your lead Pokémon with a powerful move, or your benched Pokémon for 30 points of direct damage, easily defeating first form Pokémon with really low health in one or two turns, while it had enough health to last for a while if you didn't have a powerful psychic Pokémon to counter it.
Line 118:
* [[This Is a Drill|Excadrill.]] It has one of the highest Attack stats in the game, and one of the best STAB types, though it appears to be balanced out by its mediocre Speed. However, its ability, Sand Rush, doubles speed in Sandstorm. Yes, [[Lightning Bruiser|DOUBLE SPEED.]] In fact, it reaches speeds so high almost nothing can outrun it, and it hits like s truck too. Oh, and the Pokemon with instant Sandstorm setup, Tyranitar, is also quite the Game Breaker itself and is seen often, so Excadrill has plenty of chances to go crazy. Also, [[Oh Crap|it can also learn Swords Dance]]; let it get one off, and you're headed for a [[Total Party Kill]]. Priority is pretty much the ''only'' thing that can stop it. It should come as no surprise that it got banned.
