Anyways, I was looking at Sword and Shield's WMG Page of TvTropes, and it was pointed out that Grookey's theme may be music/rhythm-based-- its English name could be seen as "Groove"/"Groovy" + "Monkey", while its French name is "Ouistempo" (from "ouistiti", meaning "marmoset", and "tempo"). So that got me to go and check Bulbapedia for the names of the other starters in different languages: Scorbunny's Japanese name is "Hibanī", which is stated may be a combination of 火 hi (fire), 火花 hibana (spark), and bunny. The "spark" in this case is written differently from スパーク, so it may not be alluding to a possible Electric-Type addition to Scorbunny's line, but it's still interesting to point out. On a side note, I feel like Scorbunny may have a sports/track-runner theme. And Sobble's English name seems to be a combination of "sob" and "bubble", given that its French name is "Larméléon" and contains the word "larme", meaning "tear". So it's theme might end up being sadness or emotions in general.

Inb4 its the "Solrock and Lunatone not being in SM/USUM" all over again. Then again, being another counterpart to a EU region, it WOULD be a crime NOT to have the Honedge line in these games.

Even if it doesn't become part-Fighting, it'll most definitely be yet another biped Fire Starter at Stage 2, which "Team Quadruped Fire Starter" ain't gonna be happy about XD Also, I just realized why I was getting deja vu from looking at Scorbunny's pose--it's basically the same as Chimchar's official artwork from Platinum SINNOH FUCKIN' CONFIRMED

Pokémon Stave? To complete the typical Triad of Fighter, Tank, and Mage? Unless they pull a B2W2/USUM and do a Shattered Sword and Broken Shield.

Spell Power Distribution Continuous Spell This card's name becomes "Spell Power Grasp" while on the field or in the GY. Up to 3 times per turn, during either player's turn: You can take 1 Spell Counter from a card on the field with Spell Counters on it and place it on another card on the field that you can place Spell Counters on. This effect of "Spell Power Distribution" cannot be used more than once per Chain. You can banish this card from your GY; add from your Deck or GY to your hand, 1 card whose original (printed) name is "Spell Power Grasp" or "Spell Power Control". You can only use this effect of "Spell Power Distribution" once per turn. The idea here is to give a bit of support to the 2 "Spell Power" Spells by (1) giving them a searcher/recycler and (2) giving them 1-3 more copies for "Control"'s Spell Counter-placing effect. And also a support for Spell Counters for cards that can only use the Counters that are on themselves (like Library and the most recent "Endymion" monsters).

I'm kinda liking the gimmick and concept of the "Time Thief" Archetype which was revealed recently, so I decided to throw together a couple of cards which I think might end up being utilized effect-wise in future releases. Time Thief Oscilla DARK/Lv 4/Psychic/Effect/1300 ATK/1800 DEF If a material that is owned by your opponent is detached from an Xyz Monster you control; You can Special Summon this card from your GY (if it was there when the material was detached) or hand (even if not), but banish it when it leaves the field. If this card is used as Material for the Summon of an Xyz Monster: You can attach 1 “Time Thief” card from your hand or GY to that monster. If that Xyz Monster has "Time Thief" in its original name AND was Summoned using only “Time Thief” cards when this effect was activated, you can instead attach 1 random card from your opponent’s hand to that Xyz Monster. You can only use each effect of “Time Thief Oscilla” once per turn. Time Thief Undoer DARK/Rank 4/Psychic/Xyz/Effect/2000 ATK/2400 DEF 2+ Level 4 monsters If your opponent activates a card or effect from their hand during your Main Phase or either player’s Battle Phase (Quick Effect): You can banish 1 “Time Thief” card from your hand, field or GY; negate the activation of that card or effect, and if you do, attach that card to this monster as Xyz Material. (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card; return to the Deck, 1 of your opponent’s cards that is either banished or in their GY. You can only use each effect of “Time Thief Undoer” once per turn.

inb4 Persona 5 memes So, an Archetype that can fuel itself with your opponent's cards... looks very promising already. I'd like to see if any more cards come out which interact with "materials owned by your opponent", as well as perhaps a monster that attaches a monster it/a "Time Thief" monster destroys by battle to itself as material. Perhaps also a card that attaches a material from your opponent's hand to an Xyz Monster? Possibilities seem endless =3 Plus I finally have an Archetype for Alister Azimuth to use.
