Man, I hope that we're getting ALL of the tiny legendaries this time. (Not set wise, I ment BW era wise. :p) That Milotic looks "pretty" awesome. (See what I did there? XD) I hope it's good. I also LOVE Swablu's art. X3 Cute how it's on a toy train. Either that or it's a giant Swablu demolishing the world. I can't wait for these to come to the States. =D

@Dracidius: Wow, that's an awesome backround for Krookodile. (Forgot that Shiny was golden. XD)

I was really hoping for a Shiny Giratina, but this is still epic O:

Slaking's ability doesn't allow it to use attacks if there's basic Pokemon in play. ...-_- good job guys.

lol what a troll

I saw this when I woke up, and all I thought of is "Registeel EX? Do want!"
I'm only halfway done perusing the scans, but it looks awesome. I'll comment on the rest.

Here's some things I noticed:

~Apparently Ninjask's Ability is...Empty Shell? It mentions something about a Shedinja being played from the deck when you evolve Nincada...I think.
~Ho-Oh EX sounds like a power creep of Ho-Oh SW + Garchomp LV.X's Restore. Fun stuff.
~Registeel EX's first attack is Triple Laser, not Triple Razor. (Registeel has had a history in the TCG of having laser-based moves.)
~That Wailord looks like fun. Flip a coin for each {W} Energy on this Pokemon and do 30 damage per heads? Yes please.
~Terrakion EX? Go away
~Claydol and Golurk are in this set. I will stop at nothing to get them.

At this point, however, I'm interested in what the "Clamper" and "Mantle" Item cards are going to do.
 
Look at all those Throhs. And it looks like some regular cards are getting some kind of advantage over EXs, like in the old days.
 
Well, Throh always do travel in packs of five, so that shouldn't be a surprise. As for that Sigilyph, that's nifty! I hope it turns out to be that way.

As for that Devolution Spray card...I don't see it mentioning anything about the discard pile, so it's very possible that card is indeed Hyper Devolution Spray.

What's funny is that Mew's Ability reads "Almighty"...the same as the old Mew ex. Why didn't I notice that before? Gentlemen, the power creep is upon us.
 
I'm pretty sure Slaking's ability is correct.

Also that Dustox poisons, burns, and puts to sleep for 1 Psychic Energy. Pretty crazy
 
I just noticed that several cards from the new set (Throh, Sawk, Sigilyph, Slaking, Claydol, the whole Deino and Gible lines, Skuntank, Ninjask, Magmortar, and a few others) have backgrounds from either the Unova Pokemon League or N's Castle.
Very interesting...I think most Pokemon arts here are set in one of those two locations. Could this portend something?
 
Does anybody know where that Jumpluff card is set? All the others I can either determine (most are in Opelucid City, Dragonspiral Tower, or N's Castle), or they're really generic (like Gothita in a darkened room), but that structure in the background for Jumpluff looks way too specific not to be an in-game location.

I see that the Gust of Wind Ninetales will be reprinted as a regular card. So that means you don't have to get like 3 boxes of booster packs if you wanted to make a deck out of Ninetales.

It's always great to see Wailord return. Looks like it's got an attack, Water Cannon, for 1 Energy as well, so Wailord can actually function. As long as it's kept away from any Lightning Pokémon anyway.

With Yukiko Baba, Kyoko Umemoto, Tomokazu Komiya, and Midori Harada back, (though they've all returned 1 or 2 sets ago) the only veteran artists who haven't yet contributed are the clay ones: Yuka Morii and Sachiko Adachi. I wonder if they're busy sculpting Pokémon and waiting for the next cards to come out for them. Aya Kusube is back too, though it looks like she didn't illustrate anything in this set.

By the way, I mentioned there are a lot of cards set in Opelucid City: The cards from Dragon Blade are set in the White version's, and the cards from Draogn Blast are set in the Black version's.
 
...there are only like, 4 Dragon-types in each set. So much for naming the sets after Dragons...
 
That Mew EX...

The rest of the EX's are kind of disappointing :/

EDIT:
@Ophie it looks like Jumpluff is outside the Pokemon League

That's the Unova Pokemon League castle, seen from the back. It's also seen on cards like Throh and Sawk. (The Yanmega has an overhead view of the place, so you can tell better that way.)

ISB please go away
 
Damn, this should even out the meta a lot. First Dark.dec, now Dragons getting stuff, and Steel and Fighting types are getting powered up. Hopefully one of the cards in the set will give acceleration for a type that doesn't have it yet.

I'm also loving how after Next Destinies being based around Castelia City, and lots of the Dark stuff being in the desert, they're sticking this stuff into Team Plasma's castle and the Pokemon League :D
 
MEW EX REPRINT. TPCI I LOVE YOU.

Seriously, love the almost-reprints of the older cards.
 
Man, if I'm reading Gothitelle's first attack correctly...

Flip 2 coins. If both are heads, your opponent's active Pokemon is knocked out.
 
Holy crap! THAT'S A GAME CHANGER, FOLKS!
So much for tanking with Registeel...
Or anybody else...
I wonder how something like that would effect the meta game.
 
You're going to love them even more now.

Apparently Rescue Scarf is Rescue Energy in Tool form. I checked both cards - the wording is absolutely identical.

Edit: Gothitelle with Fliptini gogogogo
 
Well, my EX's predictions were not right. Apparently Pokemon is now picking random legendaries for it's sets.

ME GUSTA.

Nothing is too broken except for Rayquaza, although Mew, Ho-Oh and Terrakion are all pretty viable. I especially love Mew and Ho-oh, they are both very awesome. Registeel and Giratina are both meh, but are still really cool and at least okay.

I can't wait to see what the other cards do. So many of my favorite pokemon are in these sets, it's amazing!
