It's not really an increase given how young the BW format and its 5 card pack system is. The box price is the same as the 10 card-20 pack boxes they used to do before the format change. 315円 per pack.

Pay attention to the news story. It's stated in there quite obviously about the all-holo state of the set. The pack art says it right there: 5 KIRA Card's enclosed!
Why in the world would they do that after 15 years? Types have only been added once, and that was because new types got introduced. If they wanted a Dragon type, they'd introduce it in the very beginning, or at least when there a decent amount of Dragons to make it their own type.Zekrom Black said:
But they didn't.
3rd gen? Stayed Colorless.
4th gen? Stayed Colorless.
5th gen? Stayed Colorless.
Let's take the Druddigon from Red Collection, for example. It's a Colorless Dragon-type...so why would they suddenly make a Dragon type midway into the BW era? There is no "00.1% chance" as you specifically stated in your post; it is a 0% chance.
Just because fans make fake cards with types that don't exist in the TCG doesn't mean their ideas will be implemented.
I know that it's fun to hope, but please, look at the reality...as much as we may want it, we're not getting a Dragon type.
I love how Dark Rush won't be released until December yet they're already announcing a new set.
There's only 29 Dragon types and it's unlikely we'll get all of them here since among that 29 are the Tao and Creation trios

I said I didn't think it! I just thought it would be cool if they did!!!!!
And it seems that now all of the BW era Pokemon have been in the TGC (except the 3 hidden legendaries) and they combined old Pokemon with new, they are focusing on types. Dragon Selection is a mini-set because there's no TCG Dragon type, so most of them are colorless. It seems that the 5th generation is really changing Pokemon with stuff like non-legendary event exclusive Pokemon (Zorua & Zoroark) and dual movies instead of one at a time (as if they're in different realities). They are also bringing back features from the 1st gen like all new Pokemon in the main story of the games, all yellow TCG borders (US only, except full arts), and Ash seeing a legendary Pokemon in the beginning of his journey, and all that other stuff, so who knows what will happen next?
I believe that if the next Japanese set is type themed, this could be the road we're heading down. I think the badges aren't too bad, they have colored matching borders which is cool, however actual badges like the trainers would get arewhat we really want. Maybe even a badge case.

Excuse me if it seemed like I didn't read the article. I'm not quite that bad at reading :-\
I'm going to be skeptical of how good and cool this set will be. For all we know, the cards may all be reprints of previous Dragons, recent or old, and unplayable. They could either be banned, aimed directly at Collectors, or all the cards could just suck in playability.
Of course, I'm not saying that aiming the set at only Collectors is bad. I'm just saying it's a possibility.
I wonder if it's going to be some special foil, or just the boring lines stuff.
I won't be bothered at all if they release these cards in English without all of them being holographic.
And I doubt that many Dragons will be in the set. Weren't Psycho Drive, Hail Blizzard and Dark Rush supposed to be type-specific sets and the Pokemon of those types made up only a slightly larger ratio of the set than the other types?

Keep in mind this is a subset. Small set, perfect for a single type focal, not part of the main era releases. You'll have some variance if they're including secondary-type dragons as you'll see some water, steel, etc but otherwise it'll likely dragon-centric to a T.
And no. BW3 didn't have type specific sets, they simple had the last non-event legendaries of the first and fifth generations as key stars since they were technically anniversary sets. Dark Rush we have no idea what ratios are going to be in that, type wise, but dark is the focal and while I don't see it being insanely large it won't be piddly either.

Um, if I'm not mistaken, doesn't kira mean killer in English?! 0_0 (unless it has another meaning I don't know about)
Also I have mixed feeling about this set being all holo.
With Dragon being my favorite Type, I'm really looking forward to the artwork from this set. (And it'd be cool if they had Arceus with the Draco Plate in the set, but I doubt that'll happen.) With its release being so far away, though... I'll probably forget about the set until the first images start coming out. xP
You're thinking of the Kira from Death Note...*slaps forehead*the aura is with me8 said:
Kira somewhat translates to "glitter". Glitter is shiny, and shiny is holographic, so kira = holographic.

Sorry about that, I recently re-watched Death Note and my brains been farting all day because my great grandma was being nosy and that made it hard to think. But now I understand what it means by kira.

Speaking of that, I wonder if, by Dragon Selection, they are just focusing on real dragon-type pokémon (which is what's more likely) or if they will also give some love to dragon-like pokémon like Charizard *coughwhichshouldbearealdragon-typetoocough*...
