(5) TCG Article, Next Destinies, Musketeer Trio, TPC Announcement, Wi-Fi [11/22]

Awww...no EX's until February :[ Seems so far away.

(btw, whatever happened to the Blaine's Quiz answer?)
 
/me waits for the articles to stop appearing and disappearing at random, until they all show up

...oh, done? Excellent.

I found "Next Destinies" to be an odd name for a set. Sure it hearkens back to Neo Destiny, but the set before, Noble Victories, had a very similar name to Supreme Victors. Emerging Powers I think had a similar name in the past...some Hoenn set? Unseen Forces? Power Keepers? I don't know.

I think they're running out of ideas for set names...
 
Next Destinies is a sort of strange name. Something Hail Blizzard/Psycho Drive related would've been awesome, but we can't get everything.

So that means pre-releases will be sometime mid-late January...
 
New set out on Feb 8, my birthday is Feb 11. SUCCESS. Haha, I'm assuming that we're going to get 4 EX Pokemon for our next two sets as currently 8 are released, Mewtwo, Kyurem, Shaymin, Regigigas, Groudon, Kyroge, Reshiram, and Zekrom. So what 4 EX's do you think we'll get in this set? Actually now that I think about it, We might get Dark Rush EX's in our May set. I don't know, so many cards coming out it's hard to track what'll be in our new set and what won't. :(
 
I don't see how Next Destinies is a strange name. Neo Destinies reference ftw!

ahahahahaha why didn't I notice that
 
Still, Next Destinies sounds a lot like Neo Destiny... If they wanted to play on the EX thing, they should call it "EXceptional [some other word here]". It would also go with the power-related names they have been giving to the sets...
 
I'm pretty sure that all the Hail Blizzard/Psycho Drive EX's will be in the set (I swear to God, if Mewtwo isn't In this set...) and possibly Reshiram and Zekrom (although that does seem like a lot of ultra-rares in one set). Speaking of which, do you guys think that the regular EX's will be regular rares, and their FA versions be the ultras? Or will it be like a prime/legend sort of thing, where they are both ultra rare but legends are a lot harder to get? And will Reshiram/Zekrom EX get full arts? That would seem weird with the regular versions already having FA versions, but if they appear in a set where all the other EX's have FA versions, they might very well get one themselves. Who knows? Maybe a few Dark Rush cards will be put into this next set.
Anyway, I am super pumped for this set.

Oh, and when are these dragon types going to show themselves? I am dying here!
 
So excited!!!! I love Cobalion! I can't wait for the merchandise! I've been expecting (and hoping) the Musketeer Trio would be in M15, so know chances are good! The US has finally finished with all Unva Pokemon (except the Mythical Pokemon), so it's about time for 1st-4th gen Pokemon to debut in BW here in the US! Zekrom and Reshiram don't have super rare EX cards, so will the just be EX cards in the set but not FA EX? Or some other way of releasing them?

Just having "Ex" in the title doesn't make it clever. The "Destinies" is still nonsense, as the two main points of the set involve going backwards, not forwards.

It really sounds more like a Yu-Gi-Oh expansion.
 
If we get all 6 EXes from PD/HB, and maybe Reshiram EX and Zekrom EX too, it would match really well with a Prime-level rarity. We'd end up with about 6 per box, enough for a good sense of rarity without them being as scarce as the URs. Let the FA versions be the Ultra Rares. So far in the B&W set, the true URs have been more collection oriented (Full Art versions of cards available as regular holos, and then the secret Pikachu and Meowth), and I can't really foresee them changing that, especially since the FA versions fit into the UR slot already.
 
How was Next Destinies revealed, anyway? Usualy, pictures of booster packs are revealed at the same time as the set.
 
It's nice to see some news on the stars of next film (if that's what it turns out to be). Of course the choice to use the Musketeers was obvious, but even this tiny bit of (possible) confirmation is a welcome thing. Hopefully they stick to their old Mythical Legendary revelation model and reveal Keldeo on 2/14/2012.
 
I hope they make English-exclusive Full-Arts for Reshiram EX and Zekrom EX! That would be epic. Also, I think that the regular EXs will remain regular rares (at least I hope so!)
 
When I read the article about the movie I almost had a heart attack. I think that using a Water/Fighting type would be interesting in a battle against Grimsly. ( I use the Elite Four to level up:p) As for the set name it's not all bad. I mean if you look at the bright side...

Yeah, couldn't think of anything for the bright side... I could have easily come up with a better name. coughpsychoblizzardcough.:D

Kyurem (regular) deserves a full art a bit more than Reshiram/Zekrom EX do, at least in my opinion. Landorus got his in Japan recently, but the normal Kyurem doesn't have one yet.

That might be because of Kyurem EX, but still...
