What it does
Each round end: If this is your only card here, +1 Power to this card.
Each round end fires as every round finishes.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2001
A Pokémon news and information site that Joe Merrick has run ever since he started it at school in 1999.
Merrick began it on 21 October 1999 in a school lunch break as Joe's Pokémon Page, then Serebii's Pokémon Page, with Celebi as its mascot. It grew by reporting Japanese Pokémon news, helped by a friend in Okinawa.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
