Are these promo's real?

I know the bottom left one is real, but what do you guys think about the others. The dragonite might end up in one of our sets. Maybe AA.

The Dragonite was a promo. The top Pika is from RR. The Articuno will be in SV. :]
 
Well they are REAL, because I have 3 of them in english. They look ligit, so I'd probably say they are coming out in AA.
 
I know that the bottom left pika is already printed, and the articuno will soon, but the dragonite and alternate flying pika is what i think is fishy.
 
I have never seen the Alternate Flying Pika but I have seen the Dragonite. It has been printed in english. :D

They all are completely real. They were airline promos. Some of them were reprinted in recent sets, but they were originally printed a while ago.
 
I have owned all 4 for 8 years. The CheckerBee Collector's Value Guide Pokémon Second Edition shows both Pikachu cards on page 271.

Trufax. I still have an old collectors magazine from the early 90's with an article about this set of cards.

Though a lot of people may not know about it since it was released before a lot of the younger players started playing.

Trivia: there are no reprints of either of the Flying Pikachus in this set, because the Pikachus released here in America do not have the ANA Airline plane in the background of the illustration. The airplanes were added to the illustration in this printing of the Pikachus to promote the airline (obviously), but because it had no relevance to the American TCG or America in general, WoTC (and later, Nintendo) chose not to print the Flying Pikachus with the plane in the background of the illustration.
 
The two alternate Flying Pikachus are real. Way back when there were three flying pikachu (I think) the two above and one with out the airplane. The Dragonite was a first movie promo, and Articuno was a second movie promo, America's had different artwork though.
 
^yeah, if I'm not wrong, there's a japanese flying pikachu without the airplane in the illustration.

and yes, the promos are all real. like someone said, this articuno, along with zapdos and moltres, were reprinted in Pulse of the Frontier, our SV...
