Rayquaza Rampage!
Hello Pokemon Trainers! Poke6 here! Today, as our first post ever (yay!), I will be discussing the latest news on a future Pokemon expansion! No, it's not actually called Rayquaza Rampage (although I think that would be an awesome title), it's called Roaring skies, featuring all kinds of Dragon-Physic-Flying expansion that will focus on colorless Pokemon and primary aid that energy type. This is the equivalent to Emerald Break, which will release in Japan on March 14 (why they change the name, I have no idea). Already we have had several packs, cards, and even decks released!
As soon as we look at the art for the new packs we can get a pretty good feel for what the new set is going to be like. Fans of the big green flying snake are going to be excited for this set. After two sets revolving around Kyogre and Groudon, it looks like Rayquaza will finally be getting a chance for the spot light!
But, who really cares that much about the pack art? We want to see what's inside the packs: cards! So, without further ado, here are our latest TCG scans for the new set!
Rayquaza-EX - Colorless - HP170
Basic Pokemon
[C][C] Mega Awakening: Search your deck for a M Rayquaza card and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterwards.
[C][C][C][C] Aero Scream: 130 damage. Flip a coin. If tails, discard 2 Energy attached to this Pokemon.
When a Pokemon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
Weakness: Lighting (x2)
Resistance: Fighting (-20)
Retreat: 2
Rayquaza-EX - Colorless - HP170
Basic Pokemon
[C] Rising Burn: 10+ damage. If your opponent's Active Pokemon is a Pokemon-EX, this attack does 50? more damage.
[C][C][C] Dragon Pulse: 100 damage. Discard 1 card from the top of your deck.
When a Pokemon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
Weakness: Lighting (x2)
Resistance: Fighting (-20)
Retreat: 2
M Rayquaza-EX - Colorless - HP220
Mega Evolution - Evolves from Rayquaza-EX
When 1 of your Pokemon becomes a Mega Evolution, your turn ends.
Δ Evolution: Once during your turn (before your attack), you may play this card from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokemon even if that Pokemon was put into play this turn or if it's your first turn.
[C][C][C] Emerald Break: 30x damage. Does 30 damage times the number of Pokemon on your Bench.
When a Pokemon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
Weakness: Lighting (x2)
Resistance: Fighting (-20)
Retreat: 1
M Rayquaza-EX - Dragon - HP230
Mega Evolution - Evolves from Rayquaza-EX
When 1 of your Pokemon becomes a Mega Evolution, your turn ends.
Δ Wild: Damage done to this Pokemon by attacks from your opponent's [G], [R], [W], and [L] Pokemon is reduced by 20.
When a Pokemon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
[?] Dragon Ascent: 300 damage. Unknown effect, but probably blows up the table.
Alright, so right off the bat we have three new Rayquaza cards (two Megas and two normal EXs). Just looking over these cards, they look pretty bad. The only one that looks like it might have any promise is the only dragon type. It has one attack that does 300 damage for an unknown amount of energy and affect. Considering that Mega Charizard requires five energy and forces you to either discard 1/12 of your deck or do 50 damage to you, this may have certain consequences. But still. 300 damage?! No Pokemon could survive such a thing! This is a free 1-2 prizes against almost any Pokemon. And, with the new Rayquaza Spirit Link, allowing you to Mega evolve without ending your turn, this will be even easier!
Aside from the last Mega Pokemon, there isn't too much promise in the group. The normal Rayquaza EX are pretty horrid in comparison to other cards in the modern sets. The third Pokemon, a normal-type Mega Pokemon, has a pretty sad attack two, doing 0-150 if you have a full bench. But, it's Δ ability does show some promise. It allows you to Mega evolve on your first turn. Imagine this: you start the game and go second. You use an Pokeball (or variant of) to get out a Rayquaza EX and M Rayquaza EX. You then retreat your active Pokemon (something like a Hawlucha with no retreat cost or with a float stone) and put up Rayquaza EX. After this you attach a double colorless energy and Rayquaza Spirit Link to it. Using the spirit link, you can then mega evolve into M Rayquaza without ending your turn. Then you get out as many basic Pokemon as you can (the deck would be filled with basic pokemon with no retreat cost and with Robo Substitutes). To complete this crazy first turn, you use a tool retrieval in order to remove the spirit link and attach a Team Plasma Badge, making it a Team Plasma Pokemon and then allowing you to use Colress Machine on it, searching your deck for a plasma energy and you attaching it to Rayquaza. Again you use a Startling Megaphone or Tool Retrieval and get rid of the Team Plasma badge attached to it, replacing it with a muscle band. Additionally, to do more damage, you could play lots of Team Plasma Balls and other Pokeballs to get out as many Deoxys EX as you can, and, since you are now a Team Plasma Pokemon, the Deoxys will make your attacks do 10 damage more for each of the Pokemon you have on you deck. On turn two (the first turn anyone can attack) you have done between 170-210 damage, the perfect formal for donking and an incredibly quick setup. Very complicated and difficult, yes. But, with the perfect deck, lots of skill, and some luck, you may just score a cheap win!
Phew. Got that out of the way. That was pretty long winded. If you use this deck, please give credit to Poke6! But these aren't all of the cards revealed. There are several more below!
Shaymin-EX - Colorless - HP110
Basic Pokemon

Skyfield - Trainer
Stadium
Both players may have up to 8 Benched Pokemon.
If this Stadium card is no longer in play, each player discards their Benched Pokemon (and all cards attached to them) until there are 5 Benched Pokemon left.
This card stays in play when you play it. Discard this card if another Stadium card comes into play. If another card with the same name is in play, you can’t play this card.
M Latios-EX - Dragon - HP220?
Mega Evolution - Evolves from Latios-EX
When 1 of your Pokemon becomes a Mega Evolution, your turn ends.
[W][P][C] Sonic Ace: ???
When a Pokemon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
Weakness: Fairy (x2)
Resistance: ?
Retreat: ?
Swampert-EX - Water - HP180
Basic Pokemon
[W][C][C] 40+ damage. Reveal the top 4 cards of your deck. This attack does 40 more damage for each [W] Energy you find. Shuffle the 4 cards back into your deck.
[W][w][C][C] Hydro Tackle: 120 damage. This Pokemon does 20 damage to itself.
When a Pokemon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
Weakness: Grass (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 3
Mega Turbo - Trainer
Item
Attach 1 basic Energy card from your discard pile to 1 of your Mega Evolved Pokemon in play.
You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before your attack).
That was a lot of cards! Most of them, though, are pretty bad again. I just want to highlight a few points. Again, a lot of these cards would help the RayquazaDonk deck (the name I just gave to the deck described above). Namely is Sky Field. This card goes way out of the norm and allows you to have eight benched Pokemon, something never even thought of before now. This brings the M Rayquaza EX up to a potential 300 damage on your first turn, an almost unthinkable feat! Additionally, you can also use Mega Turbo to take an energy card from your discard and attack it to one of you Mega Pokemon (such as M Rayquaza), allowing you to cut out the Colress Machine. Winona also allows you to get 3 colorless Pokemon and put them into your hand, helping to fill your bench and get out Rayquaza and M Rayquaza. Other than that, though, there really isn't too much more to this collection of cards and I don't want to go into a whole lot of depth on cards that have little to no function.
Lastly, before I go, they have also revealed two new base decks with this set. One revolves around Articuno, and the other around Zapdos. Wherever Moltres is remains a mystery. Maybe he went rouge...

Pokken!
Super cool as this game is, it isn't going to be easy for international fans to play. No, this is not a Japan-only Wii U release. Don't relax yet though. It's worse. Pokken isn't even a console game. It is a Japan exclusive arcade game.
I know Pikachu. My thoughts exactly. They have yet to announce any release for a console or arcade games outside of Asia, so use on the other side of the world may never get to play this game. But, I think it is an interesting decision at least. Arcades are nearly obsolete nowadays, so to have an actual, bona-fide, get out-out-and-play-with-your-friends-in-a-real-arcade-like-the-80's is kind of cool. For most of us, with we have a game at home we either never play it because we know we can whenevery we want, or we obsessively play it to where it has no excitement to it. But with this, it has a real experience going out and inserting quarters into a machine, being an exciting and rare experience. But, I seriously hope they have a Western release. Please Nintendo? We are dying to play your newest game, and are a great audience to make money off of. The only issue is that we don't have many arcades here after the invention of home gaming, so to find a permant home may be more difficult. But, I can see it finding a place in comic/hobby shops, stores, Pokemon tournaments, and Chucky-Cheese. But, I can't really see Nintendo putting in all the work for this game and not letting the whole world play it. But, there are some interesting features to this game's arcade style. To see an analysis of all the details, see the video below (warning: while this channel is fairly clean when just one person is reviewing, I have heard cuss words before and have not watched the video to it's entire end [although I think would suspect it's fine] so proceed with caution).
First of, what I find most interesting, is the Namco Passport. This allows you to make an account and use your login to access your special Pokemon, trainer and stats. This means that no matter what arcade you go to, your info will be everywhere, like the cloud. Secondly, is the characters. Right now, we don't have the best line up. Lucario, Machamp, Pikachu, Suicine, and Gardevoir is all we have.
I love that they have very detailed Pokemon with unique statistics, attacks, battle styles, and great detailed art, but the amount simply isn't a good representation of the 700+ Pokedex we have. Not only this, but this particular group just seems... weird. I guess it's just the overwhelming presence of cool colors that's making me feel as though this group isn't very diverse, although out of all the popular Pokemon and legendaries, why they choose Gardevoir and Suicine eludes me. Not to insult Nintendo's choice of characters, but I would have added different ones if it were up to me. But, theis most likely isn't all the Pokemon, considering how cool of a game this seems to be and how many open slots there are for more characters. Almost all of these screenshots are of the demo version, and, similarly to Super Smash Bros 3DS, it most likely does not contain all the characters. Additionally, there are other support Pokemon as well, including Froagadier, Eevee, Emolga, and Lapras, Snivy, and Fenniken (all basic Pokemon), which can attacks, slow down your opponent, or aid your attacks.
Overall, I think this game is super cool, and am really hoping to be able to experience this internationally. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned!

Star Wars comics
Live long and prosper Star Wars fans! (Lol that would've made a hardcore fan flip out!) Anyway, I have exciting Star Wars news, as well as exciting Marvel comics news! That's because that Marvel is now doing a line of Star Wars comics series that are just releasing!
Can wait for Star Wars Episode VII? While the movie is still a while away, you don't have to wait in order to get new Star Wars content! Marvel has announced three new Star Wars comic series (one of which is a mini-series), all taking place during the rebel era (20 BBY-20 ABY approximately). One series depicts the life of Han, Luke, Leia, and Chewy between episodes four and five. The second depicts the life of Darth Vader around the same time after the destruction of the death star, allowing Star Wars fans to take a look into the side of the Empire. Last is a new mini-series, once more taking place after the destruction of the Empires largest weapon in Yavin, we take a look into the life of Princess Leia after the destruction of Alderaan.
Dark Horse Comics
All three series look fairly interesting. In all honesty I am most excited for Darth Vader's new series, with a new look into the life of a character who is probably the most famous villain of all time and yet also one of the most mysterious (just don't try whatever he does at home kids!). Additionally, it has a very bright, bold and realistic art style to it, while the Star Wars series (middle comic) is more bright-and-cherry while still looking fairly real, and the Leia comic in what appears to be a very cartoonish, rocket-racconish style (referencing the style of the new Rocket Racoon series).
Excited about the new release? Can't wait for these to come out? Well, you don't have to! The new Darth Vader series has just released its first issue this a few days ago, Star Wars released a month ago and has two issues already out, and Princess Leia... well, that one's scheduled for later this year. Still, I'm am very excited that these issues are already out and I will be able to enjoy them all year!
To purchase or learn more about these issues, you can go to the following URL's!
In all honesty, I'm not shocked that Marvel is making these series. In the past, Dark Horse Comics has been known to publish all Star Wars comics much more than Marvel. But, with Disney's purchase of both Marvel and Star Wars, it was just a matter of time before they jumped back into the business. But there is one thing they all have in common, They all use IV characters. There is a 13,000,138 year long Star Wars history, and yet all character come from the 0 BBY time period (meaning they were alive during the attack on the Death Star). This could be because they wish to get a new generation familiar with the characters of the original trilogy before most of them return in episode 7.
Whatever the reason, I am very happy about these comic's release, and can't wait to read them. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned!

Imagine Dragons Smoke + Mirrors
Sup guys! Rocker6 here! Today I have a super exciting new post about Imagine Dragons! I know you guys usually listen to me blog about video games under the name of Fencer6, but today I wanna take a look at some music news and blog as Rocker6. Anyway, my all time favorite band, Imagine Dragons, is releasing a new album called Smoke + Mirrors on February 17! This is there second album since Night Visions, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I am absolutely thrilled to have them releasing a new album so soon! It looks like another Imagine Dragons style album, with various influences of sound. Listening to the previews, I heard some hard-rock, some soft and smooth, some deep and thoughtful, and some everything in between, although I really can't review it until I heard the whole thing several times over.
By the way, did I mention how REALLY excited about this I am? Well, I REALLY am. Imagine Dragons, is really thoughtful and deep, unlike some of there fellow artists whose songs are 90% chorus and really have no meaning, as much as we all like to "shake 'it' off". You can view some of the previews now by clicking on this link and opening it ITunes. Both Shots, Gold, and I Bet My Life have been fully released on ITunes.
Well, until it fully releases, thanks for reading and stay tuned. I can't wait to buy this!

Legend of Zelda TV series!
Hey everyone! Fencer6 here! Today I have some exciting news for fans of the Legend of Zelda (LoZ) franchise. Do you remember the 1990's live action Super Mario Bros. movie that was amazing and very well written?
...
Okay yeah, that movie sucked. But, here's one thing that might excite you: Netflix
Yep! Nintendo is teaming with Netflix in order to bring the Legend of Zelda series to the internet. They're making a live-action television LoZ series!
The show is said to be a 'Game of Thrones for families', making me think they will take the shots very seriously and have sets using actual castles and realistic battle scenes and costumes. But of course, we don't know much yet because... they haven't even actually wrote it.
Yeah, they're still looking for an author. So it could be a while before the show would hit Netflix, if at all. But, a note to Nintendo: If you're looking for a writer, please contact me. I'd be happy to apply!
I, and a lot of LoZ fans I'm sure, am hoping this becomes a reality. I would love Nintendo to try to do these things, as long as they don't totally ruin it. Until more is released on this though, stay tuned, and thanks for reading!

Anaheim News!
Sku! Fencer6 theck! That's Ewokese for 'Hello! Fencer6 here!' Today I have some exciting news for fans of the Star Wars series, but won't be able to go to the Star Wars celebration. I will be posting updates from the Star Wars Celebration 7 to my blog!
That's right! You may have heard about the Star Wars Celebration from a post I released nearly a year ago. It is a convention filled with hardcore Star Wars fans all looking at vendors, artists, props, costumes, and screenings. Well, my family has decided to take a trip all the way from the east coast to California just to go to the celebration. But, I know that tickets are limited and many fans simply can't go to the event. So, I will be posting news, photos, and videos from within the convention center on the Friday and Saturday events. The celebration starts April 16 and ends the 19, although my updates will only be from the 17 & 18.
And, props aren't all. There will be showings from all of the six Star Wars movies, the original trilogy all in 3D. Additionally, there will also be a screening of Star Wars Rebels Season 2 early premier, a Disney XD animated series that takes place between episodes 3 and 4. I will try and post a plot summary for this if I see it, although I will be sure to give a giant SPOILER ALERT before posting.
I will try to take pictures of everything I can there and post it at the end of each day, as well as a quick synopsis of exciting events that occurred that day. I am also trying to get a public social media account, which I would post important photos to in real time. If I can get this account, I will post the user name to this site.
Thanks for reading, stay tuned, and may the force be with you!

Fanbase growing!
Hey guys! Fencer6 here! Today I have some exciting news for the viewers of this blog: we have a pretty large fan-base!
I was looking at my statistics and found a great surprise! We are growing in the number of people viewing this blog! It seems like everyday we have several people view this blog from all over the world, which is very exciting. Yes, I know that the internet is a big place that connects 3 billion people, but just knowing that a few people out there really read my work is amazing. And it isn't just the US either! There are many very loyal viewers all across the world! Namely, Ukraine, Germany, France, Russia, Poland, Australia, the UK, Brazil and Malaysia are some of my largest non-American based viewers in the world. I thank all my viewers for, well being viewers!
And, in honor of that, I am making a promise: there will be at least one post on this blog per week!
This is huge for me. Many times, I go through cycles, making lots of blog posts for one month, and then not typing a word for another. I know this is probably killing my blog, so I will post at least weekly.
And no, this is not just a 'I'm gonna try' thing. Because, if I want a successful website, then there is no try. There is only do, or do not. And I'm going to do. I promise. If I decide to stop this policy one day, then I will make a formal blog-post announcement, although I plan to stick to this for a while at least.
Thank you, all of my viewers. I hope you like this. Please stay tuned, and have a great night.

Terraria for Wii U!
Hey guys! Today I have some exciting news for you from GameFly and Amazon. We may be getting Terraria for Nintendo Wii U and 3DS!
If you don't know what Terraria is, it's a 2D sandbox game that shares many similarities to MineCraft, except that it has more of a fighting and quest aspect to it with goals to accomplish and bosses to defeat. If you have never heard of it, I would recommend going to http://terraria.org/ and learning more.
Anyways, Terraria has always been known for being on lots of platforms. It is an Android, Samsung, and IOS app; it is a PC game; it is for the the Plays Station and PS Vista; and it is on XBox. But, similarly to MineCraft, what is it leaving out: Nintendo. I have a feeling this is more of a Nintendo problem than a Terraria one. Nintendo has always had a very closed off market, with games not exclusively Nintendo produced being limited. But, that may soon change.
GameFly, a videogame rental website, recently added Terraria for Wii U and 3DS to its lineup of games. This immediately makes on think that the game could be in the process of being released. While it was soon take off of GameFly's website, it is now listed on Amazons website. It has no picture, has a price of $29.99 (not thirty, its 29.99 *eyeroll-at-cheap-selling-techniques*), and is expected for release on October 31, 2015 which can be seen by going to http://www.amazon.com/Terraria-nintendo-wii-u/dp/B00SMOAH2W.
Oh, and there is one last really exciting piece of news regarding the release of this new game: It's gift wrap available! Nothing makes one happier to tear open a gift wrapped package so hey- might as well!
While it may be a while to wait, I am very excited for the possibility of this great platformer hitting my favorite videogame company of all time: Nintendo (even if I do already have the mobile and PC version). While I may not get it, I'm thrilled Nintendo may begin ushering in new and popular 3rd party games, which could both benefit gamers and Nintendo's industry. Stay tuned, and thanks for reading!
