Welcome back to another history lesson on the channel. This week, we put together our personal lists of the top cards in Pokèmon history that made the game worse. Our criteria for this was to identify cards (or combos of cards) that changed the game in a way that made the overall experience more negative. A lot of the time, these cards were used to create game breaking or broken combos that were way above the power level that existed regularly at that time. What did we miss?

This week the lads dig into Atlanta regionals and the meta breakdown we expect to see. Aneil still (self-admittedly) knows nothing about Pokemon and may continue to do so as raw reactions are a lot more entertaining than informed ones (jk, I'll be back soon). Are these Rocket's cards nuts? Edit : I was wrong and Alex Ovechkin has missed *75* games over his 20 year career. That means he's played in over 95% of games in his career.
