“Obsidian Flames,” August’s English Set!

Yes, the bulk of Obsidian Flames will likely come from Raging Surf (May JP set) and Ruler of the Black Flame (July JP set).
Raging Surf only releases in spetember, there is a article about it. Obsidian Flames will be based on Ruler of the Black Flame only, plus the cut cards from SV2 and likely the new cards from the ex starter decks.
 
I don't think it's that necessarily, but what's interesting is that the release date falls suspiciously close to when one would expect the World Championships to take place. How hype would it be if that was the set's first premier level event? Has that ever happened before?
The release date is the same day Worlds starts. Cards are only legal 2 weeks after they release so Worlds is going to be only Battle Styles until Paldea Evolved.
 
oops missed the more recent article about Raging Surf being pushed back until September
 
They apparently cannot physically do it. When something with Charizard gets revealed, they have to bitch about it. They have to.
Maybe because people are sick of seeing 'zard' every other set. I get it, it's popular. At least give some other pokemon a real time to shine. It's kinda sad how Pokemon TCG has evolved into every set NEEDING a 'chase' card. Otherwise a vast majority see it as a 'bad set'. Scarlet & Violet Base Set for example, a lot of powerful and playable cards, impacting and changing up the meta. No real 'chase' $200+ card so a majority of people will see it as a bad set. TCGs as of late are all slowly becoming sports cards and it's pretty cringe tbh. Gotta get those 'hits'. Give Pokemon TCG another year and they'll start doing serialized cards.
 
For the past 10 years (maybe) every generation set XY-SM-SWSH-SV the third set always has fire in its name (flash fire, burning shadows etc.) and always has a Charizard.? Has anyone else seen this pattern?
