“Destined Rivals” TCG Set Officially Revealed, Features Team Rocket, Misty, Ethan, and More!

Oh so it is just 4 pack artworks, not 5.

Weird about the prerelease promos. Really hope they're just placeholders.
 
I waited in line for the better part of 3 hours only to finally get in and see the etb is sold out. God forbid they do open preorders and then print to demand. Who would want to make that kind of money?
 
I got in through the queue on mobile, but there were no Destined Rivals products even listed anywhere at all on the site. What gives? I even signed in. This is new levels of gaslighting.

update: same with desktop too. the queue’s definitely shorter now than before. seems like the URLs still listed on google’s search results for “Pokémon destined rivals preorder” were removed as endpoints just a bit ago
 
Sat in que for 8hrs today just to finally get in and not be able to get anything. Think I'm done with this hobby for awhile.
 
The pre-release cards not being part of the SV promo set is weird. Can they really fill ~25 more promo slots (Illustration contest Toxitricity being no. 215, Hop's Snorlax was no.185, with only Worlds Pikachu no.190, Horizons Sprigatito no.191and Horizons Fuecoco no.192 filling the gaps) before the Mega sets arrive?
 
TPCi are clearly including a higher proportion of special illustrations in their expansions compared to earlier in scarlet and violet. If you have a look S&V base for example, just 32 cards were IR or SIR. But now “More than 45 Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations”. I dunno, kind of interesting to me. Also, “More than 20 Trainer cards”. This doesn’t seem a lot compared to S&V 32 trainer cards. I have a strong hope that we get a new version (but mechanically the same) of Arven like we got of Judge.

Then you look at Paldea evolved and it has a bunch more. They have not changed things for IRs and SIRs the entire SV block, if you look at japanese sets its extremely consistent(they change very slightly with supporters SIRS, but thats about it). If anything it might be less illustrations nowadays because 1st year 3 out of the 4 main sets were dual sets which result in more illustration cards
 
It's always nice to miss out on ANOTHER Pokemon Center ETB! I will just have to purchase it on ebay again, for another extra £80 on top. As I am ONLY purchasing an ETB a Set now, it saves on all the other Pokemon product I can't get or won't get. Don't really care anymore!

There are only 8 promo slots unnanounced.
 
Holy shit this art work is so cool! But this is gonna be even more difficult to get ahold of then prismatic is which means I’ll prob never see a single product and that makes me really sad being a fan of Pokemon since 1998
