personally, not a fan of Riolu and I hate Lucario. But I couldn't care less if a Pokemon has one or more IRs, this one is cute but the first one is better. I don't really get the setting here, because the illustrator chose to have that board on the floor to make the entrance disappear. But is it...

Victini AR isn’t included in the Japanese Set. It’s a promo in Japan too. So it’s not missing and it is not cut.

Someone above posted the connection to the movies. Also these were exclusive to the games respectively

The printers are not infinite. Pokemon does not have their own printers in the west. They have to book in advance (6 months), so when these printers are clogged with reprints, there is less space for new ones. I guess finding new factories or setting them up is not as easy as people think -...
