I knew it! Like I said earlier, with that 3D art style, it didn't make sense for them to be reprints of the bad ones. PUSA just likes to troll the fans...
As I was reading through the first two pages of this thread, I was filled with confusion as too why PUSA would even bother to reprint standard rares (though I do get the argument for doing so, although I think it's wrong to do so).
Now having learned that they are reprinting the ability mons, I am filled with a timid optimism.
I could use another tin for storage, OH, and a dancing Emboar wouldn't be half bad.
Now that it's the ability ones that get reprinted? That's better for TPCI.. They're starting to care, now if they can make the box ratios a bit easier for us...
it's cuz you mentioned another forum. I'm surprised there wasn't a warning and explination message. aaand, I hope this didn't count as trying to mini mod.
I'm now inclined to buy one Emboar tin.. since I only need one more boar.
Something I noticed on the front page, it says "Serperior, Emboar, and Samurott will each be reprints of the holos from the first Black & White set" But both of the three starters were holos in the set. Shouldn't it say they should be the ability ones? Anyway, I'm super excited.
Even though I'm not a big TCG junkie, it'll be nice to have the ability Pokemon available in tins, I definitely wanted Emboar. The artwork for Reshiram and Zekrom is amazing as well.
