Expected Shaymin? See, I hate to break it to you but I knew Shaymin wouldn't be in the Fall tins which makes any chances of Shaymin being tinned very grim. See, Hoopa can be tinned because it isn't that valuable or splashable. That's how TPCi can make it tinned.

I got only a Rayquaza from the pack. Did the tutorial twice. Guys, be realistic please. The Fall tins have already been announced. Pokemon doesn't tin cards released from the previous year. So any chances of Shaymin being tinned is looking bleak. If Shaymin does get reprinted, it'll probably be...

Disappointing. See if this is used early game to set up knockouts, it should have had higher HP or had something to prevent it from being OHKO'd by annoying Night March, M Ray, etc. 210 HP is so low and this isn't M Manectric where you accelerate energy you have to discard all Fire energy for...

Omg I've said this time and time again. Was Uxie ever reprinted? No. You guys keep having the presupposition that TPCi wants to make the game still very accessible. Update: I only got a Rayquaza EX from the pack.

Did you read my post clearly? I said in Regionals which will be in Expanded. That format will be way more relevant this year than ever before. All North American Regionals will be Expanded and Cities can be Standard or Expanded. Standard isn't that relevant except for States/Provincials and...

Wait now you agree that Shaymin will lose value? Anyways, Hoopa EX is more specific while Shaymin is more versatile and fits more decks. That makes Hoopa less valuable and thus it can be tinned. I'm not hopeful for a tin at this point. The Fall tins were already announced and Pokemon older than...

I've already stated that they want only a limited number of people to get it. See, you're on the side that hopes it should be in a tin. I'm on the side of seeing what has happened in the past since history repeats itself. Also, your presupposition is that they want to make cards always...

Did TPCi ever print Genesect EX in a tin? Why did they print the horrible Blastoise EX, etc for the Fall 2014 tins? Point is, why didn't they print many other things for an "additional source of income"? You've completely missed the point of what I was saying. Were those Plasma Basics a...

I edited my post and quoted the source. That's exactly why TPCi doesn't want to release it as a promo! MewTwo is slashable but it's not a support Pokemon. I don't understand why you can't see what I'm saying. Of course those 3 EXs you mentioned got released as promos. They aren't as useful as...

Um... you do know that well-known vendors get many of their cards sent to them by TPCi? They just sent a lot of distributors copies of Giratina EX before AO got released! They may reprint Shaymin but I highly doubt in a promo form. And going to a more relevant thing, Uxie was never reprinted...

Refer to the last sentence of the quote. It won't give TPCi much more money since the income is split between the regular prints and promos. The regular prints get halved or quartered and the promos are cheap. The result is the income from a card is the same as before the card received a...

Eske looks like he's trying too hard to emulate the awesomeness of regular art Manectric EX.

There are many that get promo EXs as singles. And if you think of the parents, especially whom this thread seems to be targeting especially, do you really think they'll spend $15 ($20-25 CAD since I'm in Canada) for each tin of Shaymin got released? No. They'll most likely buy from singles...

There have been non Lv.X cards like Claydol that was reprinted. Reprinting may not actually drive up the price. Remember what happened with Darkrai EX and MewTwo EX? When the tins came out, the value of Mewtwo EX and Darkrai EX (RA of course) dropped considerably. Collectors and players got...

Man this set is gonna have worse pull rates than Primal Clash.

Wait, Catcher was expensive once? It quickly got reprinted in Dark Explorers after its first printing.

No offence but I wasn't impressed by limits for the meta game format. That in turn, makes the game luck based as well. What I would do, is make the game require more skill, like a throwback to the Majestic Dawn-On format. That was one of the best the game had. Making Weakness relative to the...

You can't place place it on Ancient Trait Magcargo and get any benefit since Burn Energy says the effect is on the Pokemon the card is attached to.

No since this energy only activates when its attached to a Fire Pokemon. Yeah! Camerupt EX and other fire discarders live!

Because a weird human thing is to blame something else other than the real reason a game isn't "fun" to play. 1. Item Lock No this isn't a problem. It exists for a reason other than a strategy; game balance. If everyone could keep spamming Battle Compressors, dumping Night Marchers in the...
