    New ways to play [added more:sudden death + legendary mode]

    I was just reading over the official variations for battling and decided to make my own.
    Maybe someone's already made or done something like this, but I thought I'd post anyway.

    Speed Match

    War

    Sudden Death

    So tell me what you think of them, and try them out if you can and report back.

    EDIT: Added 2 more

    I'm really anxious to try a double battle war with legendary mode.

    I think this is a really original way to play Pokemon.
    But just 20 cards in a deck?
    That's just to difficult to play.
    With just 20 cards you can only make a deck with just 1 Pokemon Line or 2-3 Pokemon Line's with each line 3 cards or something.
    Remember,you always need many trainers/supporters etc and energy's too.
    if you make a deck with just 20 cards,it couldn't work.

    I know it's a way for a "Speed Match" but it doen't have to be so "Speedy".

    Make it a little bit like this:
    35 Card Deck
    10 Cards in your Hand
    3 Prizes WITH deck
    lose with all standard rules EXCEPT the rule "You will lose if you have no more cards in your Deck" or something.

    That's kind of like using half-decks (30 cards in deck, start with 7 in hand, 3 in prize pile). ;) Though the no cards left rule still applies.

    Also: your prize cards are never separate from your deck, whether you're playing with standard or half-decks.
     
    That would defeat the purpose. Remember that there is no deck. You don't need many trainers, since most are for drawing cards.

    I changed the number to 20, because I made my own deck and it needs at least that.

    And on the war one I added the bench rule.

    What I meant was: there are established rules for playing with half-decks, which play much faster tourneys than full decks (though full decks matches don't take very long at all compared to other TCGs).

    Oh, and there is a way to play Solitaire with Pokemon cards... but I can't remember the rules for that.
     
    I know, this is meant to be different. This way you really have to focus on your strategy, and much less is up to chance.
     
    I like the sound of War but what exactly is the controller's role?

    They are really just a target to win the game. The point is to keep it behind and power it up while you protect it.

    I just tried sudden death against myself(2 decks).
    It was pretty fun, and easy to manage by yourself.
    The game can completely change at any time.
