I'll be posting cards from my new 64-card set Hyper Startups and slowly update them with new cards. Keep in mind that I purposefully left their pics blank since I don't want to deal with searching for pictures of Pokemon on a very slow  laptop. SO LET'S BEGIN!!!! Also A LOT of cards are here: http://imgur.com/a/pTFhK#22 so make sure to check there

If feedback can be given to me I would greatly appreciate it and these cards were made with 1st-3rd generation style cards in mind. Thanks in advance

[Reginanos]

I think feedback will best come in an individual form, so bare with me here. 

 

Scizor: Bullet Punch is fine where it is, maybe change it to 30. X-Scissor is the main problem here, with 3 grass energy for a 30 damage attack just isn't enough. I would maybe change it to (Metal)(Grass)(Colorless) and have it do ~50 damage.

Golurk: My only issue here is that maybe you should change the Poke Power to where it became nullified when said Pokemon was afflicted with a status condition, so that the effect on Dynamicpunch doesn't seem so... useless.

Scizor-Mega: Maybe up the damage by 10 or 20, just to keep par with other 4 energy moves.

Nincada: You should lower his HP by 10 due to his Poke Power, and change Dig so it just says 10 damage. Or change it to "one of your opponent's Pokemon", if that was what you were going after.

Ninjask: Just a minor nitpick, but change the "applied" in Aerial Ace to "affected".

Scyther: This attack should deal 10-20 damage, or have a higher energy cost.

Ditto-Mega: Change the Aggron to Ditto. Also, I would revamp its attack entirely, so that it just does the attack, and not anything else.

Luxray-Mega: Maybe change Spectrum Burn to where Luxray becomes the Weakness of the enemy, instead of just whatever type you want.

Shedinja: Change Endeavor to "Place 2 damage counters on your opponent's Pokemon in any way you like".

Ditto: It seems fine, maybe get rid of the Psychic resistance.

 

Hope this helps.

Nincada's ABility doesn't nullify damage, it just nullifies effects done to the Pokemon. Scyther is meant to be a hit-and-run Pokemon and is best used when you have no more Pokemon in play. but I see what you meant. Shedinja, from what you said, is a good thing to change. Ditto and most gen-1 Normal types have a resistance to psychic (even the mistakenly made Colorless Dratini!), and I want to keep it that way. For Mega-Ditto, I just felt like the ability to do EXACTLY WHAT THE OPPONENT does is underwhelming and a Mega should get something better than it's prior form. For Luxray, it is already a light Pokemon, and I wanted it to be unique since its attack already does underwhelming damage.. Besides, the prior forme Luxray can very easily be way more powerful than this Luxray if I change the effect of Spectrum (and besides, Spectrum Burn fits in a lot flavor-wise). For Ninjask, thanks for pointing that out for me. I can't believe I missed that . For Scizor, it DOES have underwhelming damage with the energy cost so high, but the Grass energy cost will stay the way it is but will do 50 damage (since I guess that's how an attack with that energy cost would look like back then). Yeah, I'll update this thread with new versions of the cards that would be better with changes, plus make sure to look out for more cards in the set that I uodate the thread with (and don't forget to comment on the Hydriegon line)

[Reginanos]

Some of these cards, like Hydreigon and Genesect just seem funky to me. Oh well.

 

My main problems with your fixes were maybe 2 things: Scizor and Nincada.

With Scizor, you would have to put 4 energies on it in order to use both of it's attacks, which just seems counterproductive. At least adding a Metal Energy cost for X-Scissor instead of just 3 grass energy just seems like a much better card design choice, in my opinion.

With Nincada, I fully realized that Nincada's ability doesn't nullify damage, and I say that it should be at 40 HP due to a Basic Pokemon's 20 damage attack having to 3-shot it instead of 2-shotting it, which makes a big difference. Also, Nincada just doesn't seem like a Pokemon that would really be that bulky 50 HP.

 

As for your new cards, some of them are underpowered, like Genesect and Deino, while others don't really seem worded right (like Hydreigon, whose Poke Power clashes with the Weakness). And some feel just fine, like Aggron. So overall, I'd say you're doing pretty well.

New link that I will update the cards with: http://imgur.com/a/pTFhK#22 MOST NEW CARDS WILL BE POSTED THEIR NOW FOR EAAASE

[Sadoldporygon]

I really hope someone can respond and give criticism to the new cards that were added in the imgur link (previous post OR original post). Some like the Shuckle and Heracross-Mega have a new mechanic added in in which they do/have damage/HP ending in five (like 15), but doesn`t change gameplay much counting Heracross-Mega`s attack rounds the damage.
