Like the first English Black & White set, Emerging Powers's two theme decks, Power Play and Toxic Tricks, will be released early on August 17th. The theme decks feature a Krookodile and Scolipede that have not been released in Japan yet (they are not just alternate art), meaning they are probably from Red Collection. On August 31st, two weeks after the theme decks are released, the main set's booster packs will hit store shelves.

They can't be from Red Collection. Red Collection, as WPM reported himself, was going to feature the rest of the Pokémon (minus Keldeo, Meloetta, and Genesect) that weren't in Black and White Collection. There have been confirmed to be 59 unique Pokémon in the Red Collection (the same number of Unova Pokémon that have yet to be officially released as cards of a mainstream set) out of the 66 numbered cards in total. If the Krookodile and Scolipede lines were to be added, then that would result in 65 cards, leaving room for 1 Trainer, and more than 1 has already been announced.

I know that I've stated this in the other threads for it, but I might as well state it here as well; Emerging Powers will most likely contain English-exclusive cards. The Krookodile and Scolipede lines (Or even just a Krookodile and Scolipede, as the Boy and Girl Starter Decks have incomplete lines of those 2) are examples of these.

I corrected that right after I posted the article. It seems that because I had so many windows open (with different versions of the article), I accidentally edited and posted an older version.
 
...future promos? Since when has a cover card from a structure deck turned into a promo? (With the obvious exception of Darkrai, Dialga, and Palkia, but they were legendaries. Krookodile and Scolipede are not.)

As in promos for Japan.
 
I may actually purchase both theme decks this time around =)

and, if they do include energy reprints.. here's hoping for foil energy =)

Well, it didn't specify Japan last time I checked, so thanks for clarification.
 
I went to McDonalds today. I got the Reshiram figure and the Zorua card. The figure is pretty cool, it would be better is the generator would light up, though.
 
I came from McDonald's about an hour ago. I got the Reshiram figure and the Maractus card. Not bad.
 
so i just came from mcdonalds.
theyre only offering 2 toys per week.
this week is reshiram and pikachu.

you can see which card you get in the toy bag
got both of them
sadly, audino was bent.
so ima have to go back and exchange it.
 
Just went to the McDonalds across from me and managed to get Reshiram and Pikachu. Looks like that one McD's I went to yesterday got the wrong box? Anyways no complaints from me. Other than the fact that one of my cards were also kind of bent. No creases but ehh I'll let it slide since I'm more interested in the toys. :p

I saw the commercial for these on youtube and well I gotta say...that was quite disappointing.
 
mine had oshawott and reshiram. Got one of each :) cards: audino and pidove. I like the holo on these more than the rotom foil, so that's a plus.
 
Yeah, I'm kinda impressed on the foil pictures of these cards. It's pretty cool.

And if nobody noticed yet, the cards are in their own set. It even has it's own set stamp.

And also, my Zorua card wasn't bent.

And on the Happy Meal Box, I found the "game" kind of weird. It shows half of all the cards and you need to find out which card has the most HP. The reason it is weird is because the pictures of the cards are so small. How are kids going to read it?
 
Blastgatr + Kyurem = Sniper Deck Supreme. I like it.

Bisharp would combo well with T-tar Prime and Mandibuzz. Maybe even Chandelure.

Non-Ability Cofagrigus + Reuniclus might be a fun deck.

Red Collection (probably our October set) looks like it's going to be a good one. I wonder if the Victini cards will be delayed until the release of the 14th Movie in the States?

By collecting all of the cards so that they can find out.
 
i really am looking forward to the "Emerging Powers" set. i really think this will add a lot of new decks to the playing field.
