Spin Off Least favorite Pokemon Tcg Set/Expansion and favorite?

[4362]

What is your least favorite and favorite expansion made for the tcg?

Some about that I only dislike some minor things:

Base Sets/ E reader:I find it pretty annoying that all regular rares are just non holo versions of the holos

E Reader/Ex:9 card boosters,but believe me,I love the Ex sets

Neo/Expedition/Ex:
Rare Babies

Ex Dragon Frontiers:I love the Expansion,but dislike how it removed double types from the tcg

Diamong & Pearl:Why exactly did they change poison mons from being grass type cards to psychic type cards?grass made much more sense(there are poisonous plants)



Least favorite:

Base Set/Gen 1 Tcg:
-Base 2,reprints of cards from Jungle and Base,almost exact same cards,only difference being the base 2 logo.
There isnt even new Artwork on them

Neo/Gen 2 1.0 Tcg:
-Destiny,why are there "dark pokemon" that look like normal mons and dont even us dark energy,despite it being introduced in Neo Genesis?It also doesnt really make sense to me in Base:Team Rocket,they were called "Dark" to not offend anyone,due to them being called "Evil" in the japanese version due to them being used by Team Rocket,while in Destiny,there are just "light" and "dark" pokemon for no apparent reason.

E Reader Sets/Gen 2 2.0:
Expedition:While Aquapolis and Skyridge had some original ideas,Expedition just seemed like some cards made for the Neo Sets were released as new set.

Ex Sets Gen 3:
Ex Unseen Forces:Believe me,I love most of the set BUT I hate the way the card rarity is sorted.
Every single unown card is holo rare,that means 28(alphabet + ? + !) holo cards are unown,so most times you open a booster and get a holo,you get a unown.

Diamond & Pearl Sets:
Majestic DawnWhy do i hate this?Well,the answer is easy.It was supposed to be released as one set with Great Encounters,but due to it being supposed to come out at the same time as the 11th pokemon film in japan,the english release had to come faster,so it was split in 2 so that the translators wouldnt have to do all work at once.It was supposed to present a Day/Night being .But with half of the cards being in Great Enocunters,you cant even say that Majestic Dawn represents Day and Great Encounters Night.So it pretty much was a pretty mediocre half of a set

Platinum Sets:
Platinum 1:Barely any Pokemon Sp,I dont hate it,but I have to pick one that I like the least.

Favorite:

Base Sets:
Team Rocket,Gym 1&2,I cant really explain why these are my fave sets,sadly none of the 3 ever got released here in Germany.

Neo Sets:
Destiny,yes I sad thats my least favorite,but its also my favorite,looking at the dark/light cards I hate it,but looking at the shiny cards,I like it.
Also Southern Islands,I love how the holo foil looks on these

E Reader Sets:
Skyridge:I really like crystal mons,and this is the expansion with my fave crystal Mons

Ex Sets:
Team Aqua vs Team Magma:Owner Mons,introudction of Double types(Didnt they also reintroduce Double types in Steam Siege?)

Team Rocket Returns:Owner Mons,Introduction of Goldstars(shiny mons,just much rarer)
Delta Series: Delta Mons(I love the idea of Pokemon mutating to a different type[this pretty much returned with the alola mons,just that its the pokemon fitting into different biomes this time]),some of the rarest Goldstar cards

Diamond&Pearl:
Legend Awakened and Stormfront,nothing more than nostalgia

Platinum:
Rising Rivals and Supreme Victors,this was the first reintroduction of owner mons(sp) since Ex and these also were released around the time I got into the tcg

I bought barely any cards from newer expansions,so I cant talk much about them.
Pokemon TCG online kinda got me back to the tcg tho


Btw,this fits into the Pokemon Section as Spin Off,right?
If not,please move the thread to what section you feel its appropriate for.

Least favourite: Neo Genesis... why? THIS

If I had to pick a favourite set, would be either Dragons Exalted, Generations or Roaring Skies

"If this Baby Pokémon is your Active Pokémon and your opponent tries to attack, your opponent flips a coin (before doing anything else required in order to use that attack). If tails, your opponent's turn ends without an attack."
Good old flippy rare babies.

I disliked the first few sets that came into the TCG, mainly because I didn't like the artwork and they were quite weak. They barely dealt any damage to the opponent.

My favourite one was Roaring Skies, since it has M Gallade EX (My favourite Mega) and of course, the card everyone dies for, Shaymin EX. Shaymin is another one of my favourite Pokemon and it is great at competitve battling because of its ability and the dangerous Sky return

I forgot one;i absolutely loved HGSS/COL Era mostly for the artwork
Most cards had quite artsy looking illustrations,which was a nice chance after all the cgi illustration cards from EX/DP/Platinum.
Just look at this Pikachu

or this HO-oh

I also loved how it finally had "unique" booster energies again,like in the ex sets,just that its common in HGSS unlike in Holon Phantom and Power Keepers,where It was holo rares
