Holon Phantom Translations
Wow, I overslept. It’s 12:30 PM now. Anyways, this news story has been added in, and was not in the original. Vincent has translated for us the card images of the Holon Phantom that are in the article below this one. You can see the translations below, in case you lack a sense of direction and cannot find your way down.

Once during your turn (before you attack), you may search your deck for another Deoxys and switch it with Deoxys. (Any cards attached to Deoxys, damage counters, Special Conditions, and effects on it are now on the new Pokemon.) If you do, put Deoxys on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterwards. You can’t use more than one Form Change Poke-Power each turn.[CC] Crystal Laser – 20: During your next turn, Crystal Laser does 40 more damage to the Defending Pokemon.

[RRRR] Final Burn – 50+: Discard cards from your deck until you have only 1 card remaining in your deck. This attack does 50 damage plus 20 more damage for each energy card discarded in this way.
Weakness: [L]
Retreat: [CC]
Commentary: The Deoxys do not look too special. They kind of remind me of the Castform from Delta Species. Latios y Latias seem to be alright, since they turn off Poke-Bodies of evolved Pokemon, which will be useful. Also, since the cards mention Latios ex y Latias ex, we can assume that those cards will be in the set, since the last ex’s of them we had were in… EX Dragon? Gyarados * is both a Delta Species Pokemon and a Pokemon-*! Pretty interesting. I love it’s attacks too. Pretty fun way to finish the game. Maybe the set will include some sort of card that allows you to return your discard pile cards to your deck, like Trash Exchange. That would make Gyarados* totally broken, although I doubt such card would exist. I will update the Holon Phantom page within the hour and edit this sentence out.
Holon Phantom Images
The official Japanese Pokemon TCG website has posted several Holon Phantom images, which can be seen by clicking the links below. These images confirm past information we have had on the set, such as there being four Deoxys (Delta Species).
[Four Deoxys – Delta Species]
[Latios and Latias – Delta Species]
[Gyarados * – Delta Species]
[Gyarados, Flygon, Deoxys – Delta Species]
Translations and more information later today! You can visit our Holon Phantom page, which has not been updated with this info yet (until I wake up), by going to “Japanese TCG Sets” in the left menu.
Commenting and Forums
I have redone the entire commenting system and layout to our news program (in terms of coding). However, in doing so, all of the comments on old news stories cannot be seen, since they used an older layout that is no longer compatible with the new, link-to-forum-thread layout. I would have to go back to each individual news story and edit them to include new HTML and links, and it would just take way too long to do just for the comments. So, if you would ever like to see comments from users for a particular news story, just contact me and I can give them to you. All comments from now on will lead to a PokeBeach forum thread, so if you want to comment on a particular news story, such as this one, simply click “View/Add Comments” and you will be directed to a thread just for this news story in which you may comment on. Clicking the link will also allow you to read the thread to see what other people have said.
