Ignoring the date, I'm mildly disappointed this ostensibly retro product doesn't use the pre-DP version of the logo. I'm sure the terms of Ultra Pro's license would prevent that, though.

It's eye-wateringly steep, but I doubt the subscriber count would triple if the price dropped to 5 bucks. Even if it did, they'd still be making less money thanks to transaction fees.

You've got it! ?

No, it provides a single unit of energy that is every type simultaneously. TPCi has stated that repeatedly, but this particular ruling makes it very clear:

Shot in the dark: maybe they'll have a unique default type and type-changing Abilities like Keckleon or the old Crystal Pokemon.

The high rarity cards do have new art, but none of the cards exist IRL. Lower rarity cards have recycled art but all-new text.

Most people who buy Pokemon cards don't have anything graded; they're just buying packs for their own amusement. Card collections in apps like these exist on the game developers' servers; it's essentially impossible to create fake digital cards. Pocket will have a trading feature; the way it's...

I think this might be my favorite English set name ever.

Yeah. It's hard to get too mad when they're the cheapest entry level decks in nearly twenty years, but I wish they'd include a few more cards that stay relevant once you understand how to play.

Mildly interesting to see the cards were printed in Belgium. I know Cartamundi has/had a card printing facility there, but I thought TPCi had their cards printed near exclusively in the US (the Portuguese version of the game being the only exception I knew of).

My guess is that they thought the old logos didn't do enough to distinguish the three tiers of "Battle Deck" they currently make; the ex and League Battle Deck logos were similarly redesigned.

It's not my first instinct to think this is a tie-in for an unannounced game, either (the SV DLC is reason enough, and like you said, tie-ins typically fill the year after the game), but it's not entirely accurate to say we don't get remakes in consecutive gens. FRLG and HGSS released in...

Pretty sure that's just an educated guess based on past special sets and a leaked card's set symbol rather than anything definitive.

Eh... Interns or not, shutting PTCGO down with no replacement would have fostered less ill-will and have been cheaper than developing Live, paying Direwolf to maintain PTCGO for an extra year because Live wasn't ready, and continuing to pay Direwolf to maintain the code card system for another...

Bundles from Live's in-game shop never feature assortments of packs. It's always exclusively packs from the most recent regular set at the time of the bundle's release or from the same special set as the IRL version.

What's up with the template change on the English Pokemon Nurse? e-Reader licensing alone doesn't explain it; the Japanese version managed to keep the template while stripping the branding and dot code.

125 packs is the goal.

This is the first new "Evolves Into" card since the e-series, right? Does that mean it can evolve into any Kabuto, even the "Restored" one from Fates Collide?

What on Earth happened to the text on the English cards?
