RE: (3) DP79 Spoilers, Official Platinum Website Now Up, New Pokemon TCG Changes [5/15]
For some reason I find it very difficult to believe that all those changes would actually happen. Giratina, I can see happening, but it'll have to have a major drawback, such as it itself being removed from play as a consequence. Shiny Pokémon, I hope to god not. I had enough of Pokémon-Star for two or three years, don't need any more of that. Pokémon cards being directly reprinted would probably be ultra-rares, but again, I can't see it happening. I'm not believing this until more proof comes in.
And, oh, look at that...no cosmetic changes to the cards. And you don't get "no flavour text", either.
