The Legacy Select Format is a custom Pokemon TCG format that is designed to give a healthy blend of cards from throughout the last 25+ years that the Pokemon TCG has existed. This format consists of ~360 carefully curated cards that will
allow for familiar strategies/decks to be played against previously overshadowed or repressed strategies and cards that never got their time to shine. Of course, this format will also allow for new strategies to be created as more people hop in
to play! My hope is that we get a few tournaments running with this format!
This format is still being balanced, but the current approach is to consider each card's utility, potential utility, attack strength, and HP. Alongside these considerations, the following constraints are followed:
- Only 1 Pokemon of each name
- All of the original 251 Pokemon and their evolutions, plus regional variations
- No pre-evolution (baby) Pokemon
- No SP, ex, EX, GX, V, etc
- No Dark, Light, Trainer's Pokemon, etc.
- No Delta Species Pokemon
This is still a work in progress, so if you would like to contribute some ideas, suggestions, feedback, or you would like to test out a deck that you've made, please reach out to me on Discord or elsewhere! Thanks for checking it out!
