At some point, I had the thought that the ideal reaction to a given card in the Cube was for the opponent to raise their eyebrows and give you a, Thats pretty good. I was also thinking about the scale of power levels, and if we say Vintage Cube is rated R and Legacy Cube is PG-13, then the next rung down is PG, and Ive been referring to this project as The PG Cube ever since
Changing the as-fan of rarities (that is, the count of each rarity of card you'd expect to see when you open a booster), introducing more variance in slots, adding in more "outside" cards, all impact how the set plays and thus requires us to change how we build the set
For now, the most obvious reason to grade this card is its bright pastel colors that create a layered scene of Misty, Lapras, and a serene ocean background
Choosing Charmander in the original games meant committing to a more difficult early experience in exchange for a powerful final evolution
