VMAXs did not cleanly rotate out, there's still 10 or so that are legal in standard right now. Kyurem, Machamp, Aggron, Heatran, Hatterene etc VMAX Climax was also a sort of "last hurrah" for VMAXs, but again, they continued to print new ones afterwards, they just weren't the main focus of sets

Those sticker sheets would make for some nice playmats, especially the treasures of ruin ones

Ogerpon is popular, but isn't that mostly centered around her maskless form? I'm really not surprised that the SIRs aren't doing too hot, since the actual Pokémon that people like is tiny and partially or mostly obscured by text on all eight of them. With that being said I do love how the...

I don't see how this refutes my comment. I didn't say Celebrations was a "b" set, I said it didn't follow the release pattern. For one reason or another it released after S8 instead of S7R/S7D and no S7a was released. Climax is a "b" set because Celebrations had an unusual release date. Climax...

Fair enough, either way it's a bit odd. Since the start of the SwSh era, expansion releases have been pretty strictly one main set followed by one subset. The only exceptions are Go and 25th anniversary, which makes sense given those are tie-ins to the rest of the franchise that got unique...

Why is Rocket likely to be SV9b? For the past three years April has been the month for main set releases and June has been the month for side set releases.

Wake and Leaves are odd choices, but I think it makes sense in a vacuum. They wanted to make Paradox URs where the shading matched the Ancient and Future icons (brown-orange and blue). Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant would've been better candidates, but I guess they reasoned that since those two...

I'm wondering, how do people feel about the golden UR cards put at the end of every high class set? Obviously the AR/SAR cards are superior, but do people still at least like them on their own? Aside from the illustrated VSTAR Universe URs, which high class set did them best?

Unfortunate the original video isn't linked in the article, but yes, it looks like there will only be 3 reverse holos in each booster box. The packs without a reverse holo just have 7 regular cards, 2 holos and 1 RR or better.

I did. Not specifically a product with Scizor and Luxray, but in general I just want more pretty cosmos holofoils, especially with that SV holo border. Even better if the card has competitive value, which both the single-prizers do.

I was really hoping that the Ace Spec reprints would be getting some kind of alternate art. Like Ooyama's Tag All Stars Pokegear/Electropower or Amelicart's CZ Lost Vacuum/Ultra Ball. Maybe next year. I am excited for the reverse holos though. Cracked Ice is the best holo pattern behind galaxy...

People are able to behave online however they want. That doesn't mean it's unreasonable for Creatures to disallow players from participating in events for immature behavior that reflects poorly on the brand. Especially with the lottery system. If an unsportsmanlike player has demonstrated that...

Like a lot of people, I am hoping for SIRs of these exs, but most of these illustrations just don't work for cards. Especially Zacian, whose head is right where all the text is, that would look awful in card form. Admittedly Dialga and Reshiram here might look alright as SIRs. But I think it's...

Hello everyone. I think there's a lot of potential for alternative formats in the Pokémon TCG. I've been thinking about this format for a while, and it's still in very early stages, but I'd love some feedback or thoughts about it. This whole post is a bit of a mess, so please bear with me...

Pretty sure I'm more or less the only person hoping for this, but I really want to see the Treasures of Ruin get single-prize Darkness type cards. Even just one would be great. There is some room here, since Tyranitar is 078 and Bronzor is 081, and the Paldea deck is half dark.

Note that this is highly unlikely, since these are starter decks, but sometimes Japanese packaged decks have a small chance of including higher rarity cards. The Gengar and Inteleon decks had a small chance of including exclusive alt art versions of the VMAXs, and Start Deck 100 had a handful of...

The rightmost promo on top of the Special Battle Set is Duraludon from Stellar Crown/Miracle. The leftmost illustration rare might be Meowth, judging from the color and body shape in the middle.

Odd selection honestly. Gouging Fire is pretty boring but also pretty strong in prerelease. The Koraidon uncommon will be powerful with it. I guess Magneton is going to come with Ultra Balls or Cycling Road? Because otherwise that acceleration is going to be clunky as heck in prerelease. The...

It's not between exs and non-exs like they said, but there is a font difference between some cards. It seems like it varies between language, and the individual set? Eng. Surging Sparks uses the same font as Eng. Shrouded Fable, but a different one than Eng. Stellar Crown. Look at the "S" at the...

My dad bought Emerald for himself and Ruby for my mom, but she never really played it very much. So when I was old enough to read and hold a GBA somewhat gently, I was gifted her Ruby cartridge. I played through most of the game with just a Swellow.
