master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #1482 from chrisbo:Skyridge Machamp's "Immunity" power says, "Prevent all effects of your opponent's attacks done to Machamp".

master_trainer_pat says, "Correct...again. Don't stop you're on a roll!"
master_trainer_pat says, "Dude!"
master_trainer_mike says, "Check out the big brain on Brad!!!"
master_trainer_mike says, "Chris asked if changing the color - type of a Crystal Pokemon means it will no longer be affected by Sprout Tower."
master_trainer_mike says, "The answer is yes, in that case, it is no longer colorless and Sprout Tower does not affect it."
master_trainer_pat says, "I deleted the question accidently...I thought we had already posted it...sorry."
master_trainer_pat shakes her/his head.

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1486 from mysterioustrainer:You guys still going on about "Howdy"? Can you give hints about the Wizards Thank you gift pack for each participant for the Pokemon Fan Appriciation Event at Gen Con?

master_trainer_pat says, "Right...Yes, you would still have to discard it."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1496 from mysterioustrainer:"So with Nintendo Cards going to be actively in the enviroment? Would it be a good standard to deck check in any Constructed Tournament until the DCI is done?

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1499 from m_p_douglas:on the listserve a letter came through about Exp Tyranitar vs. Light Dragonite.

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #1505 from m_p_douglas:cont from 1499 The Japan ruling said some like this: Poke-Bodies always take effect overiding Pokepowers or area effect Pokemon Powers
master_trainer_mike says, "We have not been informed of this rules change, so it will not affect our rules. I'm sure it may all change when Nintendo starts their tournaments."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1500 from trekiev:when oracle says "choose two cards from you deck" does that mean, "search you deck for two cards"?
master_trainer_mike says, "Correct."

master_trainer_mike says, "The Ancient Wind Poke-POWER only works while Aerodactyl is your active Pokemon."

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #1504 from trekiev:how would bounce energy work with an light dragonite active? would it still only be able to be put in pokemon that have basic energy one them? would you still need to discard after the attach?
master_trainer_pat says, "The Bounce Energy would still trigger...requiring you to return a basic Energy to you rhand from"
master_trainer_pat says, "the Pokemon you're attaching to."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1508 from wizo_pokemom:this question came up on the 'gym about the League events at gencon/origins: can players play by 'house rules' (rolleyes) or must they play by standard rules?

master_trainer_mike says, "Why would we know what they are doing?"

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1515 from m_p_douglas:Re 1499 and 1505 So in effect Light Dragonite would erase the writing and the color on the 4 darkness energy on Tyranitar then Tyranitar would turn them back into Darkness color that does NOT have the extra effect of damage anymore
master_trainer_mike says, "What????"
master_trainer_mike says, "Think it through gang."
master_trainer_mike says, "Light Dragonite has you ignore all text written on Special Energy Cards"
master_trainer_mike says, "and they would provide colorless energy."
master_trainer_mike says, "Tyranitar has all energy provide Darkness instead."

master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #1523 from chrisbo:If you have a Rainbow Energy attached to a Pokemon using one of the Miracle Sphere trainers, can you do both conditions of the card (i.e. both Confused *AND* removing damage for Alpha)?
