Is Cilan the first time there's been a gym leader card outside (or at least before) of an entire set based around them? This somehow never crossed my mind before even though I own the Japanese card.

Maybe DB/DB will have Iris then.

If you mean simply the Gym Leader's name as the title of the card, then yes, I think this is the first time since the Gym sets. Otherwise, no, as we've previously had Volkner's Philosophy, though Rising Rivals was arguably centered around Gym Leaders just as much as Gym Heroes and Gym Challenge.

I think I should point out that Weavile does not follow its National Dex number at all; it's place right after Sneasel, but belongs after Nuzleaf/Shiftry. I guess the numbering rule can be broken in cross-gen same-type evolutions?

Do you remember the numbering system that was around in the DP era? At the bottom left of the first printing of each particular Pokemon, there was a number that looked like "DPBP#???". This followed an order very similar to the National Dex, but it also accommodated for cross-gen evolutions. Here is an example - Entei's is 294.

You can find the list here. Notice that Pikachu is 026 - Pichu is 025. Cross-gen evolutions are placed next to their relatives as they debuted in older generations.
Where am I going with this? I'm pretty sure that's why Weavile is right after Sneasel and before the Shiftry line, because that is the numbering system they are using.

Cinccino (Smooth Coat) and Fliptini anyone?

I was actually hearing that topic in the Chat Room earlier and no it wouldn't work as Fliptini would only work with Attacks, not Abilities

@Toroto

It is holo. The Reshiram Theme Deck was released early in some places, and the theme deck comes with one shatter glass holo and a non-holo version (I'm guessing the scan is the no-holo from the theme deck).

Pikach looks boss!!!! I hope the scans of Reshiram-EX and Zekrom-EX are posted soon! I want a better look at them!

Did pre-release start already? I don't play the card game (but I do collect) so I didn't really look into the date.

@ Shining Rotom
The Mewtwo mini-site at Pokemon.com has a bit of information of the theme decks 9more of an advertisement) and it says Raichu will be in the Voltage Vortex theme deck. I assume Pikachu is in as well.

Wow this is the second time I have been screwed that it is only for attacks.

LOL I just noticed Damanitan's second move; DarMAXitan!!! This is better than Amoonuss's "Sporprise!" :D
 
RE: (1) 80+ 'Next Destinies' Scans [1/26]

I'm curious as to what each deck will provide for in terms of TSS.

this set has a really shallow pool (or maybe the stadium is meant to balance against the supporters)

Not exactly... That system was used for the DP era (DP to Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky). For example, Girafarig is placed after Gastrodon in that system. And in fact, in the Mystery of the Lakes set, its card comes after Slaking, a pokémon that comes after it in the national dex. But in HGSS Collection, it is listed correctly by its Nat. dex number but they still list cross-gen evos after their older pre-evos. Which is basically what they have been doing since DPt. They just place cross-gen evos or pre-evos after/before their evolutionary relatives, but only if the relative is also in the set. If it isn't, they're ordered normally (I know for sure there's at least one example that confirms that last part, but I can't recall it now)...
 
RE: (1) 80+ 'Next Destinies' Scans [1/26]

I'm loving the Chandelure line's artwork. To me, those three pieces really stand out amongst art that seems to have gotten very generic-looking. Mitsuhiro Arita's pieces now look pretty similar to Ryo Uda's (at least at first glace), while their work used to be anything but similar. The Arcanine artwork, specifically, is what I'm referring to.

That isn't to say I don't think the art doesn't look beautiful, though. It's very clear that the art standard has improved dramatically since the TCG's early days. In particular, I love how Castelia City seems to be the backdrop of many-a-card in Next Destinies. I think seeing how different artists rendered the city is one of the most interesting ways to check out the diversity in art.

...um...that's basically what the DPBP numbering system is. It is the National Dex, but they place evos from other generations with their families.
I was merely explaining why Weavile is next to Sneasel and not after Shiftry.
I think somewhere you must have misinterpreted what I said...?

Too many Reshiram BW reprints in my opinion. Too bad Random Receiver isn't coming out...

You forgot Zekrom. These are almost as bad as Dialga and Palkia GE.
 
RE: (1) 80+ 'Next Destinies' Scans [1/26]

Aww, I was 2 off in my predictions in the setlist. I thought Pawniard and Bisharp from the Battle Gift Set would be in ND, but was replaced with Ferroseed and Pidove. I really think that they should have been promos for ND. Also, I wonder when Reshiram-EX and Zekrom-EX FAs will be released in Japan?

I think that they're worse than Dialga and Palkia, because they're making an even bigger deal about Reshiram and Zekrom.
If I recall correctly, Dialga and Palkia DP were reprinted exactly twice - once in GE, and once as Black Star Promos. However, neither of them were so blatantly advertised as Reshiram or Zekrom, and even since then future prints of Dialga/Palkia have had different effects.

The only different effects we've seen to date on Reshiram and Zekrom are the EXs. All the other prints are the same (save the pictures), without exception.
 
RE: (1) 80+ 'Next Destinies' Scans [1/26]

I believe the card with the most potential in this set is Mewtwo EX. It can be thrown into any deck!!!
 
RE: (1) 80+ 'Next Destinies' Scans [1/26]

Hmm Musharna doesn't seem that great now that I read it closer...you have to put the other card back on top of the deck, that kind of sucks. =\ It doesn't seem worth it for a 3 retreat bench-sitting catcher target.

Yes, but that system also changes the order of a few other pokémon (for no apparent reason, I must say) like the Girafarig example I mentioned. There's also Qwilfish and the Aipom line... there might be others, can't remember now...
