Discussion Title: Stop adding Stage 2 Megas without expanding Deck/Bench size!
I love this game, but I’m at a crossroads. The developers keep releasing these high-maintenance Stage 2 lines like the new Megas (Sceptile, etc.), but they aren't doing anything to fix the mechanical bottlenecks.
Adding more complex evolution lines into a 20-card deck with only a 3-slot bench makes zero sense. Technical decks (like my Metal build) already struggle with "bench-locking" because we need support Pokémon like Revavroom or Aegislash just to compete with "brainless" basic-only decks.
By forcing these new lines into such a tiny format, you’re just increasing "bricking" and making the game a coin-flip simulator. We don't need more "collectible" hype cards; we need 25-30 card decks and a 4th bench slot so we can actually play the game instead of just losing to Mega Altaria stall-fests or deck-outs. If the gameplay doesn't evolve to match the cards being released, the competitive scene is going to die.

I think just adding alternative tech similar tech for basic level Pokemon would suffice. One of the draws for me is the low deck and bench sizes.
