Ren✧ Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Not too much to judge on right now, but it goes without saying that I am eager to see what else you update with. For now, I guess I'll review what you've got. CaterpieAlright, I'm just gonna come out and say it. The card is useless. I suppose that fits well with flavor though, as Caterpie itself is also lackluster(to put it mildly). The evolution mechanic is too slow for this card. It would almost never actually get to evolve. Also the 20 ATK/DEF gain is unneeded and just clutters the effect. I'd suggest making it more or just getting rid of it entirely. PikachuI can see the flavor more on this card. Obvious representation of Lightningrod and Static. Problem is, Thunder-Types are very rarely used. Maybe changed it to LIGHT monsters? Or maybe: "If an effect is activated that would target another face-up monster you control: The effect targets this card, instead." Something like that would beef playability a bit. When that monster declares an attack, the controller of that monster toss a coin twice and calls it. If he/she is right, remove the Paralysis Counter. If he/she is wrong, the attack is negated. Do they have to get both coin tosses correct or just one? You need to explicitly state this. I know this probably seems pretty critical, considering we are in Casual Cards, so don't take any of it too personally. As far as these sort of sets go, it is much more important, in my opinion, to capture flavor than to make competitive style cards. That being said, you shouldn't make a card too complex or just downright bad to achieve flavor either. There is a happy medium, and that's what you should be going for. Now I also know that you are a pretty creative guy, so I challenge you to get a bit more creative with your effects. The Evolution Counter mechanic is predictable and easy. I challenge you to think outside the box! Glad to see you are card making again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I challenge you to think outside the box! Glad to see you are card making again!If u think Caterpie is useless just wait til Metapod. It takes 1 turn. That's quick to me at least. I was gonna do an Xyz style evolution, but that would be too easy in the Extra Deck. I was also considering just waiting til next stage is in hand, but I found it best to use the Yu-Gi-Oh! Level Up system. Don't you challenge me ;~; lol The 20 more ATK/DEF is a constant. since its leveling up, but it also needs to be low so it doesn't overshadow the next level, because why evolve if it is weaker (Metapod). It will be a lot more useful on other monsters Its both. I thought it was clear, I'll try to fix that. I guess I can change it to LIGHT monsters. Thank you for your criticismsEDIT: Pikachu updatedEDIT 2: Caterpie edited; Weak Pokemon will no longer get 20 ATK/DEF boost because they will have a very low number of levels to EvolveEDIT 3: Metapod added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren✧ Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think you underestimate just how fast the game of Yu-Gi-Oh has gotten. Caterpie will almost never evolve. It has laughable ATK and DEF and has no protection from destruction except for the fact that when your opponent is already revving up to squish this bug they can't activate a spell or trap. Unless you have dedicated a healthy amount of time and resources to setting up a very defensive, protective field, Caterpie is a goner as soon as it hits the field. And if somehow you do manage to get it to evolve to Metapod, you are in the exact same boat. It may now have slightly better DEF, but can easily be steamrolled by your run of the mill monster. And what's more, it will now take 2 turns to evolve. Definitely not worth the commitment. I think the ATK/DEF gain for the evolution counters needs to be amped to at least 100. Modify stats accordingly. I'll have more recommendations later. For now, I'm off to dinner. EDIT: I AM BACK WITH MY RECOMMENDATIONS I've already said that the ATK/DEF gain needs to be more. But let me explain why. As it stands, a 20 ATK/DEF gain is absolutely worthless. It will take 5 turns to even get a +100 from that. A lot of duels are finished well before you get to your fifth turn. This mechanic is too slow to be of any use! Now I heard your argument that you wouldn't want a prevolution to get more powerful than an evolution. And you are completely correct! However, the way to remedy this problem is not to clutter a monster's effect with a useless ATK gain like that. Instead, maybe try this. I noticed that Metapod is punished if it isn't summoned by Caterpie. What if, you were instead rewarded for going through all that effort. For example, this is what I had in mind. If this card was Summoned by the effect of "Caterpie": You can place Evolution Counters on this card equal to the number of Evolution Counters that were on the monster that Summoned this card. This card gains 100 ATK for each Evolution Counter on it. Does that make sense? I'm not saying it makes the cards playable, but it does amp their usability a bit. Also, I have a bit of a problem with these Burn, Paralysis, Sleep, Poison, etc. Counters. Something like that is far too extensive to mess with! If you do it like that, then everyone time you place a Poison Counter on a card, you will have to specify what that poison counter does. And what happens when I have a Weezing put a Poison Counter on a card and then an Arbok put a poison counter on that same card and they do differing amounts of damage with that counter? Which do I go with? How do I keep up with all of this? It's far too complex. Instead, consider alternatives. Step outside your Counter mechanic(which is honestly too slow anyway). I'll use Metapod as an example again. Instead of listing out those counters try something like that. This card cannot be targeted by the effects of cards your opponent controls. This achieves similar flavor, makes the card far more useful, and simplifies things dramatically. My main criticism here is the reliance on Counters. Not only has the idea of Counter mechanics with Pokemon sets been done before(repeatedly) but it is also tedious and lackluster in almost every possible way. I'm gonna say it again.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX! 1. That makes sense and in a way would speed up Evolution2. All the counters are constants and are 1 max[spoiler=Counter Effects]BURN = Place 1 Burn Counter on that target (max. 1). When that monster declares an attack, halve its ATK during the damage step. That monster loses an eighth of its original ATK and DEF during each of its controller's End Phases.POISON = Place 1 Poison Counter on that target (max. 1). That monster loses an eighth of its original ATK and DEF during each of its controller's End Phases.PARALYSIS = Place 1 Paralysis Counter on that target (max. 1). When that monster declares an attack, the controller of that monster tosses a coin twice and calls it. If he/she is right, remove the Paralysis Counter. If he/she is wrong, the attack is negated.SLEEP = Place 1 Sleep Counter on that target (max. 1). Monsters with Sleep Counters are changed to Defense Position and cannot change battle positions. Once per turn, during the End Phase, toss a coin and if the result is Heads, remove 1 Sleep Counter from that monster. On the third End Phase after the Sleep Counter was placed, remove the Sleep Counter.FROZEN = Place 1 Frozen Counter on that target (max. 1). Monsters with Frozen Counters cannot attack. Once per turn, during the End Phase, the controller of that monster rolls a six-sided die and calls a number. If he/she calls it right, remove 1 Frozen Counter from that monster. CONFUSION = Place 1 Confusion Counter on that target (max. 1). When that monster declares an attack, the controller of that monster tosses a coin and calls it. If he/she is wrong, the attack is negated and that monster loses 200 ATK. 3. I guess it does make it more useful, but Metapod isn't useful lol EDIT: Okay I fixed Metapod's effect but didnt upload it yet. I feel it is much more useful and I might try something with CaterpieEDIT2: Both updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CONFUSION = Place 1 Confusion Counter on that target (max. 1). When that monster declares an attack, the controller of that monster tosses a coin and calls it. If he/she is wrong, the attack is negated and that monster loses 200 ATK. 3. I guess it does make it more useful, but Metapod isn't useful lol EDIT: Okay I fixed Metapod's effect but didnt upload it yet. I feel it is much more useful and I might try something with CaterpieEDIT2: Both updated I think you're going in the right direction with the edits to Caterpie and Metapod, I definitely like them more. I think the Status Effect counter mechanic is more trouble than it's worth. Why not just have representative effects instead? I'll use Sleep status for example. Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; change it to face-down Defense Position. This monster cannot change it's Battle Position until your opponent's next End Phase. An effect like that is still representative of the flavor you are trying to counter, is far less complex, and fits the current format of the game much better.

I was going way too focused with the Pokemon mechanics when i should go for a Yu-Gi-Oh! playable counterpart EDIT: I will edit Pikachu soon with the new paralysis effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren✧ Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yes I get it now. I was going way too focused with the Pokemon mechanics when i should go for a Yu-Gi-Oh! playable counterpart Exactly! Also I have a question about Caterpie, what's the idea behind allowing him to return to the deck during the End Phase? The function of that confused me a bit.

Ren✧ Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 When a face-up monster you control is targeted for an attack by a LIGHT monster: You can change the target to this card. When this card is targeted for an attack, the attacking monster gains the following effect after the Damage Step: • When this monster declares an attack, toss a coin twice and calls it. If you are right on both tosses, remove the Paralysis Counter. If you are not right on either toss, the attack is negated. I think you're going to run into problems with this effect. For one thing, the effect needs to be edited anyway, as you still reference a Paralysis Counter that is no longer placed on the monster. Suggested edit: If this card is targeted for an attack, after Damage Step: Flip a coin and call it. If you call it correctly; the attacking monster cannot declare an attack while face-up on the field. The OCG on that effect is probably atrocious, but I think it gets the point across. run away ability Oh, okay! Let me just tell you though, that effect will never be useful and adds 0 utility to the card. I'd suggest just getting rid of it to shorten the effect. Either that or edit it that so the effect is actually useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ren✧ Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Mew is an interesting card and really the only criticism that I have is that its effect can be condensed. Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set). This card's Normal Summon cannot be negated. When this card is targeted by a monster effect: Target that monster; it also becomes a target. When this card is targeted by a Spell/Trap Card: Target 1 monster your opponent controls; it also becomes a target. When this card is targeted by an opponent's effect: Target 1 monster your opponent controls; it also becomes a target. If you activate a Spell/Trap Card that requires a certain Attribute and/or Type monster to activate; You can treat this card's Attribute and/or Type as listed on that Spell/Trap Card. It makes a slight change to the fact that now if an effect monster targets this card you can target another monster on the field and not just the monster that activated the effect. It simplifies the card a bit and avoids some confusion that may arise. Also, did you mean for this card to be able to be Special Summoned still? Usually monsters like this have a clause that forbids their special summon so I was just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simplify the Pokemon effects for Yu-Gi-Oh! Yeah Special Summon ok for like revives and such Mew fixed. Nidoran F added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren✧ Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Nidoran's way of accumulating Evolution Counters is too difficult for a card with such low stats, especially since it needs 3 counters. I recommend raising the ATK to 1000 and moving the number of counters required to evolve down to two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend raising the ATK to 1000 and moving the number of counters required to evolve down to two. Raising the ATK to 1000 would ruin the stats. All these stats are from the games and relative. About the counters I have to work on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren✧ Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Alright well then it needs a way to somehow stay on the field to accumulate its counters because most decks will not run enough monsters that it can destroy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BT Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Eevee and some others planned and updated the Checklist Idk or remember if I fixed Nidoran if I didn't I will now EDIT: Idk if I'd say it is fixed but Nidoran has been edited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ren✧ Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Neither Eevee or Nidoran will be used all that much. There really isn't anything to fix, per se, but they are just too inconsistent and/or slow to be of any use. I like Training Session. It adds some consistency and speed to the set. Well done.

Well done.Thank you on Training Session Best thing on Eevee is see what ur opponent has in my opinion... then bring him back to deck and repeat Stones will be going up soon (they are just as useless as any Equip Spell) EDIT: The stones are added. Prob won't make sense until a Stone evolution is added. (prob only the first 5 are going to be used unless I continue the generations)EDIT2: Jigglypuff addedEDIT3: Wigglytuff addedEDIT4: Clefairy addedEDIT5: Abra is done but too much work to put on dA then transfer here... yeahEDIT6: Abra added (will probably change something) and Dratini plannedEDIT7: Abra editedEDIT8: Very minor OCG errors fixedEDIT9: Dragonite plannedEDIT10: Eevee editedEDIT11: (Creature) Trade and Kadabra planned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ren✧ Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Wow that was a big update. I like the idea behind the Evolutionary Stones, it's a creative take on the evolution mechanic. I wasn't necessarily impressed by any of the other cards added tbh. I think what makes the cards somewhat unappealing is that you are making them overly complex. You are stacking effect on effect, most of which don't seem to be all that related. I think what your probably need to focus on is simplifying your effects and working on their synergy. You are too concerned with representing every aspect of the Pokemon, when in all reality, all of that isn't particularly needed. OCG fix, I don't believe the it is "FIRE-Attribute", I believe the correct OCG is "If the equipped monster is a FIRE monster" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if so, which one Monster Trade addedEDIT: Dratini simplified Yeah I would recommend only taking one of the abilities. That way you have more room to further expand upon the mechanic you are using to represent said ability. Obviously which ability you want to do is up to you. If it were me, I'd choose the ability that I think best reflects the flavor of the Pokemon. I'm interested to see how you go about Trade evolution.
