(1) Dialga-EX, Miracle Diamond, Skyla, and Escape Rope from BW5 [7/6]

...why do I always sleep through the interesting things? stupid timezones.

anyway, dialga would have been a fun card to play with bianca/cheren/empoleon/other draw cards

honestly, I'm glad that diamond is fake. It was terrible compared to the crystal cards given to kyurem.

So instead of reprinting Warp Point they give us a card with the exact same effect with a different card name being Escape Rope? I don't know why this was necessary considering it would of allowed players to stock up on their old Warp Point's instead of having to get Escape Rope's.

same logic as turning 'gust of wind' into 'pokemon' catcher'. They renamed the basic trainer cards as 'items', so they all have to be things you can physically hold. That's why the energy removal cards are hammers.

Any confirmation as to whether the new Skyla Supporter will receive a Full Art like N did in Noble Victories but with this image?

I'd love for TPCi to do that, they'd sell like hotcakes... :)

Cilan didn't get one, so probably not.
 
Dialga Ether would been good if Dialga wasn't fake. The only problem would be Catcher/Escape Rope against Garchomp. Maybe with trainer lock on a gothitelle deck.
Skyla and Escape Rope are really nice.
 
Eh, I don't mind if Dialga and Miracle Diamond are fake, they're not to great.
Skyla will see some play (a tiny bit)
 
They won't just reprint the sleeve as the FA. Maybe even better art for the FA, if there is one (after that we just need a FA blonde Elesa).
 
fingers crossed for a FA Skyla :)
i liked the dialga ex actually, kinda sad it might be fake. also the warp point reprint(essentially) is nice
 
Meh, I was wondering why Miracle Diamond and Dialga's second attack contradicted so much. It doesn't make sense to have an attack that returns all energy to you hand and then an item that shuffles all attached cards back into your deck.
 
Dialga Darkrai could also work. Use the second attack. Next turn attach a dark energy to dialga and retreat. start building dialga on bench while you attack with darkrai.
 
I thought in the past that a rule was made that said all cards that referenced trainers now reference items. Skyla now confuses me. How does all the cards that reference trainer or item cards work?
 
I really hope that the Dialga EX isn't fake. It would be a really balanced and fun to play card. That Dialga + Ether and Terrakion would be pretty awesome. That is, assuming Ether and Dialga are real...
 
You don't know how long I've been waiting to see a Warp Point reprint!
Me and a thousand other people!

*insert Skyla/Random Receiver joke here*

FINALLY, Someone who likes the blonde one.
The blonde one is obviously serperior (See what I did there) because
Roller Coasters > Catwalk

I'm kind of happy that Dialga wasn't an EX, Gives more room for Deoxys, Latias/Latios, and Jarachi.

Yea. I'm not sure weather it's items or any I/S/S.

Also, I'm pretty sure Dialga and Miracle Diamond are fake.
First, because Miracle Diamond sucks compared to BK and WK's ACE SPECs.
Second, Compared to Giratina EXs attack, it's just better. It has the same energy cost (Other then {G}{P} being {M}{F}) but Dialga would have a good side effect, and Giratina has a bad side effect.
Third, it has 2 attacks and 1 ability. Most Pokemon only have 2 attacks, or 1 attack and 1 ability. I know there have been Pokemon with 2 attacks and 1 ability (Well, non with an ability, but with Poke-Powers, Poke-Bodies, etc) but it's pretty rare. Especially on a basic.

Escape Rope's pretty cool.

Skyla's kinda like a Junk Arm as a Supporter (Unless it can search for any I/S/S). But you still only have 4 max for each card. I think it's pretty balanced. And will probably become somewhat of a staple.

Skyla can search for items, supporters, and stadiums. The card states, "Search your deck for a trainer card," not "Search your deck for an item card." This is because items, supporters, and stadiums are under the single category of trainer cards, unlike the Diamond and Pearl days when each of those three cards had their own category.

In my opinion, Skyla will see play. Being able to grab any desired item, supporter, or stadium is fantastic right now. Yes, it is a supporter, so it can only be used once per turn, but the searching capabilities this card offers really make up for it.

Now I just hope we get more good supporters in this set. Professor Juniper, N, Bianca, Cheren, and Skyla aren't enough.

What made you think that? The fact there are no pictures to accompany them?

We now have reason to believe Dialga-EX and Miracle Diamond are fake and so they've been removed from the news story. Sorry for the mistake folks!

That's why. :p
 
Relying on WPM for everything...he's nice to depend on, but sometimes you just need to look at the evidence as opposed to the evidence someone tells you to look at.

because if they did they, half of the people wouldn't buy the new packs to get the reprint most likely... which is BS btw... Thank you Pokemon Company for taking something that was good about the TCG and ruining it... Again. T.T

As if set rotation wasn't bad enough...

Also, Full Art Skyla would ROCK! 8D
