They must think that you would never swing before using its 3 type attack, so then why would it matter if the pokemon retreats? Do they think that Retreat lock is worth a colorless? This card doesn't seem very well thought out.

I wonder if the binder and poster boxes will sell as well as 151? I guess it depends on how much hype is built by the community. I hope its an awesome set!

Yeah that's the point unfortunately, they have to give a reason to make you pay for a subscription which is fair enough. The site gives enough information already without it so I'd say its warranted.

Some japanese sets fully exclude certain types at times, putting more in the next set after. I'm assuming its just to keep sets somewhat varied. 2 sets ago we had night watcher which was "dark types the set" and the set after paradise dragona is 'supercharged breaker' the "pikachu electric set"...

I think it was less of them being worried about regidrago, but more about trying to have a varied dragon set. All 6 ex cards are dragon (dragon adjacent at least with B kyurem) pokemon in the game. I think its great that they didn't take the easy way out and say "dragon set so all dragon go go go".

Me too to be honest. But I'd rather wait 5 years for a finished and great game then having another BDSP on our hands.

Thank you for the giant overview of the set op! It must have taken a long time but it was done very well.

I'm probably one of the very few people who's initial reaction to this reveal was "Pikachu and Chien-Pao also get the snowflake stamp along with eiscue?! Hell yeah!"

What an odd thing to make a bunch of similar cards for.

The art in the sets logo is amazing and definitely stood out to me. The Exegutor, Latias, and the Archaludon are all from the Japanese Paradise Dragona set. It is being lumped together with the Pikachu set releasing in Japan after it. Sadly no Rayquaza yet, but there is a Flygon if you enjoy...

One can only hope

Apparently the top 4 of masters all have an invite back to worlds for next year. I suppose they just didn't want it on the card anymore.

Great Pictures! At least they are going all in on the art for TCG Pocket. Maybe there could be multiple alternate arts for cards akin to Marvel Snap? That would be amazing if so, celebrating many artists would be cool too.

Why call them promo's when they aren't even black star promo's. Surely they could have a better word for it than that?

Fez makes sense, Mew was G block.

This straight up makes collecting vintage worse. Sellers can claim items are "unscanned" when they already are scanned. Same as they have been doing by marking light packs as "unwieghed" for years. If the whole business becomes mainstream then overtime there will be much less trust in the...

I'm not sure it's 100% a money move. Having 20 ex pokemon in Stellar Crown would be too many, especially with almost all of them having full arts and the 4 dark types having SIR's as well. The set would probably feel really bloated. Also since SCR already has the gimmick or sell of 'stellar...

Honestly, it it was called 'power hourglass' instead of 'powerglass' I would have rioted

This list is really cool. I doubt that trainers that haven gotten many/any cards before will see many now sadly. Did you make this list? If so you're missing a couple champions. Techically Prof. Kukui and Hau were champions in Alola, even if it was only for one fight like Blue was.

I have a feeling that ACE SPEC is going to be phased out in year 3. That and Past/Future pokemon and it's keywords are going to be much less common. They have printed a ton of ACE SPECS and the new ones that they create are probably just going to powercreep the ones from the past.
