    “Paradox Fury Premium Collection” and Greninja Bundle Exclusively Releasing at Amazon

    I love paying seven dollars and two cents for literally just a cardboard box.

    More Exclusive Chinese Alternate Arts Releasing, Including Gold Battle VIP Pass!

    Judging by the length of the artist credit, I'm guessing the gold VIP Pass wasn't illustrated by Ryo Ueda like the original. It's a shame he's not contributing to the TCG anymore; I'm fond of his early works. I hope he's doing well. --- I think it's interesting how aesthetically similar the...

    Ultra PRO “Tinkaton Character Series” Accessories Line Announced

    One of the better "Sugimori-style art on generic background" products; the background kinda sorta matches aesthetically.

    Antique Cover Fossil, Carracosta from Stellar Miracle!

    I understand what you're saying about Buried Fossil. I think part of our disagreement is that I still see Baby Pokemon as overriding the default rules of playing/evolving Pokemon rather than contradiction-free. Maybe I'm just wrong! If that's the case, we're left with Fossils that are forward...

    Antique Cover Fossil, Carracosta from Stellar Miracle!

    Palafin ex doesn't bother me because it calls itself out as exception to normal conventions. The new fossils being incompatible with (only) the Restored Pokemon would mildly disappoint me, but they also call themselves out with the exact same phrasing. Still, every prior usage of the Evolves...

    Antique Cover Fossil, Carracosta from Stellar Miracle!

    I still Absolutely Hate the non-functional Evolves Into boxes on the new fossils. Why would they think printing lies directly onto a card is a good idea?

    Top 300 Entries Selected for 2024’s Pokemon TCG Illustration Contest!

    Michael Bailey's Meltan looks like it came straight from the Neo/e-Card era.

    Target Stores Cracking Down on TCG Scalpers

    That sign looks like it was printed on photocopy paper. Is there evidence it's more than a single location restricting sales to scalpers?

    Zoroark, Zorua from “Night Wanderer”

    I think it's an anti- power creep effort. Except for Ability locking effects (all of which are noticeably weaker than ones that already exist in Expanded), they've consistently chosen the phrasing that makes the card weaker.

    Ultra PRO Releasing “Rayquaza Legendary Foil Playmat” with Foil Accents!

    That might be outside the scope of their license, but booster pack art regularly appears on binders. Surely some of those could fit well enough on a mat.

    New Ultra PRO “Elite Series” Accessories Featuring Lucario!

    Ultra Pro: 17 Years of Stock Art Lucario Silhouettes™ (TBF, these are some of their better looking products.)

    DeNA Developing “Pokemon TCG Pocket” Under Rebranded Pokemon Subsidiary with 50 Million Yen Capital

    That seems... low? Where are the employees' paychecks coming from?

    Market Analysis: Most Valuable Cards from “Mask of Change!” Dragapult ex?

    Does anyone happen to know how much Prime Catcher is in Japan?

    Kieran Special Illustration Rare from “Mask of Change”

    Creatures' choice of "Pokemon with a Rule Box" vs a specific category of Rule Box Pokemon almost always comes down to whichever one makes the effect weaker. As best I can tell, Path to the Peak, Ting-Lu ex, and Iron Thorns ex are the only exceptions so far, all three of which are Ability lock...

    Poliwag, Poliwhirl, and Poliwrath from “Mask of Change!”

    Zero to Hero? No, it specifically needs to move FROM the Active Spot TO the Bench.

    Blissey ex, Scoop Up Cyclone, Ogerpon ex SIR, and More from “Mask of Change!”

    Psst, the Battle Master Deck article doesn't have an accompanying forum thread for comments.

    Special English “Scarlet & Violet” 6.5 Set to Release in August!

    Flygon was featured on one of EX Dragon's theme decks, so it wasn't totally snubbed.
