First card I upload in from my new set: Lighthouse Mysteries!
There could be no other Pokémon than - the Cat Ferret Pokémon Zangoose to get this honor!

I promised a watcher DuneTheZangoose that I would upload this card a long time ago! Now it is finally time to deliver my part of the promise!

In tcg game play Zangoose can throw its worst enemy/nemesis Seviper like a lasso at the opponent's benched Pokémon, dealing huge damage and forcing them into battle. This cowboy ferret can then get into some Close Combat and hopefully finish the Enemy off! This card is perfect to take out important benched targets, but requires you to include those nasty snakes into your deck as ammo. Fair balance in my opinion. Comment if you agree/disagree.

Credts to the artist Mitsuhiro Arita for the Zangoose sprite which appears on an offical card from the Holon Phantoms Zangoose card. I designed a new fresh background for the art and did several other digital edits. Refference ard can be found here:

For all Basic, Stage 1, Stage 2 and Trainer cards I use paulsnoops blanks. Big credits to him for an amazing work providing these high quality blanks! All the blanks have their size reduced to 486X678 (original 734X1024), which I think fits my cards perfectly. The blanks also have their saturation reduced by 25 to give them a tune I prefer.

The placement and fonts are inspired by the official XY/ORAS card expansion, they are not exactly the same. My philosophy is that
it is very important that all cards in a set should follow a certain structure and order- even if it does not follow the exact official placement. I am trying my best to make the cards in this set to be as good as I can make them without any errors. (I have double checked several times- but I might of course miss something.

Regarding Zangoose second attack and its drawback implying after/or before applying Weakness and Resistance, I decided to not include this specification.
Instead , I think the Pokémon TCG should apply rules for this mechanic if it is not defined- and so save valuable card text space.
If these specifikations are not written on a cards - I think that the effect should apply before Weakness and Resistance. (comment if you think the opposite or disagree). For this set, I also applied the same he idea/rule to whenever you search your entire deck for a card. A card should in my opinion not have to explain/clarify that you have to shuffle the deck - it should be a mandatory unwritten rule. It saves space! Cards look confusing if they have to much text...(which is something I dislike about many Yugi-oh cards for instance). I will later upload a rule specification list for my card sets to explain the rules- which I will edit if necessary).

The idea for my future sets is to make the Pokémon TCG to reach its fullest possible potential! That also means no more 170+Hp Basic Pokémon which I think ruins the game).
