- Start date
does any1 know what the new cinccino does, glad the krookodile turned out to be okay, prolly won't be meta, but we'll see.
Gotta love how many of the same Pokemon that were in the last set, that they put in this one. We already have a print of like half the Pokemon they are using in the set, but as long as they don't have the same text, I'm cool with it.

Set looks good to me size-wise. Theme decks look ok too, but as usual I won't be getting them because I prefer the thrill of my own packs. And we get Beartic! This will be a very interesting format!
Just a couple of things to point out - Cubchoo is misspelt in the decklist, and also the UK prereleases are on the same two weekends as the US ones. It might be an idea to update that and let the Brits know.
Sources: Event Locator, plus I'm going to one.

the set looks meh.
almost half the cards are of pokemon that appeared in the first BW set.
i thought we might get some cheap catchers in the theme decks. sadly no.
i like the trainers though. With Cheren we can now rip up all our Cheerleaders cheer and Bill cards. Harah!!
heres the original japanese BW set, for those who want to look at what most of the cards in this set are.

The Krookodile looks half decent, but he won't be Tier 1, as his Ability is very good, just that he has to be active and his attack stinks, and I won't be getting the theme deck(s), not enough good cards.
EDIT: Good luck Water Pokemon Master!

@thefleeee I know, right? At my BW prerelease, we always do a complicated pack dealing system where we basically keep a card, pass the rest on, keep a card etc.
I must have had at least 4 Duckletts just because they're so adorable and I couldn't pass them on.
Of course, my Zekrom FA took priority, though.

No Eviolite, Cryogonal, Victini, Electrik, Hydreigon, or Chandulure! What gives?! That was pretty much everything I cared about from this set. And the 3 Musketeers are the crappy ones. Suck.
...you realize that we weren't getting anything from Red Collection in the first place, right?amisheskimoninja said:

Oh. I actually didn't.
The Red collection cards will most likely be in our November set. But even then, we'll probobly only get about half the cards, plus English Exclusives, and any Japanese special deck cards, like this emerging powers set has.
Come February 2012 we'll probobly finish off the red collection while getting a ton of other japanese deck cards, English exclusive and even throwing in stuff like Mewtwo EX from japans upcoming set, and so on in that manner. or so it would seem.

Aside from Beartic, Catcher, and Gothitelle, this set does not seem to be all that good, but I'll reserve my full jedgement when scans are released.
I like how the set has Gothitelle and Beartic that aren't the ones everybody is hyping about. I can see how the prereleases go now...
