....but now this guy says Pokecollection has no affiliation with TPCi. That seems very strange that Pokecollection would just lie.

Pokebeach isn't affiliated with them either, yet that's never stopped people from believing it.
And in regards to that Enhanced Hammer thing, I actually decided to go to the Dark Rush spoilers and looked it up myself. Sure enough, it was an oversight in the fan translation.

I agree with the part about wanting to dispel rumours, but don't you think they should give a definite answer as to wether or not it's true?

What I think, or what any of us thinks, doesn't really hold much water in this case, unfortunately, because it's probable they simply can't say. Very likely for legal reasons, contracts, etc. TPCi is only a subsidiary of The Pokémon Company in Japan, so they don't have a lot of leeway.
 
They did not mention anything about the Dragon set, but it is safe to assume that it is real. I mean, why wouldn't exobyte deny the Dragon set rumor? As for tins, when I first saw that it was going to be MewtwoEX, DarkraiEX and RayquazaEX, I was like WHAT? Shoudn't they make 3 tins featuring dragon pokemon, which is why I guessed Rayquaza EX, Giratina EX for the first wave, and Black Kyurem EX and White Kyurem EX for the second wave.

That makes sense tbh.

However, like I said, Mewtwo/Darkrai reprint=big profit. People would still buy the tins if this is untrue but it wouldn't sell as much. That can't be ignored. Also, if those 2 aren't tin promos, we can't rule out reprints just yet.


EDIT: PokeCollection never did state if they were EX cards. However, since the only legal Mewtwo and Darkrai are the EX cards and it wouldn't make sense to put one of the non-EX Rayquaza cards alongside those two, it's the most likely promos if the tins are true.
 
Alright, looks like we can all relax. According to PokeCollection, it was mainly caused by major miscommunication, and more importantly that the info is true and the tins were not a lie.

It's still technically up in the air, but it looks we all had heart attacks for nothing. Check PokeGym for more info.
 
It could be true, it could be false. Just like they said that they couldn't comment on the early rotation as soon as the bw rules change popped up. I'm hoping it's true, at least the rayquaza ex part.
 
Looking at what xenobyte said:
- We likely wouldn't give a new set announcement to a random Youtube site before we announce it on our own site.
- Mewtwo is not a Dragon.

A) is completely false - PkC has released heaps of information in the past before it has been announced on Pokemon.com etc. If TPCI isn't aware of it then they've been living under a rock. I think it's a case of miscommunication between TPCI and its employees.

B) So? Nowhere has it been announced that there will be 'dragon' tins - except mentioned by PkC (and even then, nowhere did he say the Pokemon in the tins would be dragons). That means TPCI is aware of what PkC has been doing, otherwise xenobyte wouldn't even mention that Mewtwo is not a dragon. This obviously conflicts with point A.

He said that the EX part about the tins were 100% speculation. They still could make special promos of them, like they did with the Latias/Latios blisters.
 
Look what I found at my local McDonald's that usually gets these sort of things rather late (I apologize in advance for the really terrible images, I tried multiple options, but my scanner refused to work, so my DS was my last option >.>):

Since the images are that terrible... They're all reprints from what I've seen (and unlike the last promos, have a McDonald's logo in the bottom right corner of the image).

Servine (1/12) is a reprint of BW 3
Pignite (4/12) is a reprint of BW 17
Purrloin (9/12) is a reprint of EP 64
Scraggy (10/12) is a reprint of BW 68

I'm impressed with how none of the cards showed any signs of damage this time (unlike last time, where a lot had dents and stuff). Might just be luck, though. Oh, and feel free to share my crappy pics around as long as credit's given. Might be able to get some more tomorrow. (And if I'm lucky, might be able to get better pictures.)
 
Yay, if the tins are real, i can actually get a Mewtwo Ex now :D. The Flygon looks cool! I want it so badly! If it was released in English before Celebi gets rotated (I know, it won't) then you can make such an awesome troll deck. Maybe. McDonalds, well, I don't care that much. But, I am incredibly excited for Dragons Exalted! I hope we'll get some cards revealed so we know some of what will be for sure in the deck. I'm hoping they'll have Terrakion Ex, Mew Ex, and Rayquaza Ex at the very least. :)
 
Well, got a few more (and a LOT of doubles, curse you Dewotts and Pignites). And a good scan. :p

Wonder what the remaining few that aren't known are... Dwebble and Axew are confirmed to be there somewhere... So that leaves number 2 or 3 (I suspect Pansage) and number 7 (probably Woobat). Again, feel free to share my scan as long as credit's given. :p
 
Well, the McDonalds cards look nice, and my League leader will go buy, like, 50 of the Emolga.
 
I sincerely doubt that Pokemon is releasing the tins with those cards. It would be so long after their release date, and it wouldn't be advertising the new set which is what almost all tins try to do.

they did the yanmega box a year after it came out :p

but a box isn't a tin, and generally, yeah they wouldn't do something like this... (*is hoping against hope*)
 
Heh, I was right. 2 is Pansage (EP 1 - yay!), 3 is Dwebble (NV 6), 7 is Woobat (EP 36, would have honestly preferred the BW one...), and 12 is Axew (NV 86), though that one was obvious due to its art. Can't provide scans ATM.

Nice, early McDonalds release for you? I just came back from mine and didn't have them yet but they also had no Madagascar toys left either. Looks like tomorrow is Pokemon day or kids are going to be very sad when they see they have no toys in their happy meal.
