I would like to see this here in the US. I know that people aren't happy about some things that might be making a comeback, but if they reprint things like VS Seeker, Lysandre, etc. that are critical to the format, it will make things worth it. I doubt they'd reprint format-breaking cards like Siesmitoad/Night March.
That's just it, though. Those cards (VS Seeker, Lysandre) are critical to THIS format. THIS format that we've been living in for years. Believe it or not, there have been YEARS when VS Seeker wasn't legal. When Sycamore/Juniper wasn't the staple draw. When the deck choices weren't just A) Item Lock or B) Your solid thud machine of color-choice.
I'm not saying those cards are bad, or bad for the game even, I'm just saying it's time for a change. The game has played pretty much exactly the same since the BW era began. There were so many cool eras before that. Make stuff like the HGSS era again, or the Platinum/SP era, or DP-LA, or Holon/Delta, or --heaven forbid-- innovate and make some whole new mechanics and make things interesting!
For example, what would the game be like without Lysandre? Well, the player going second could have a viable chance at coming back besides hoping his opponent whiffs something. Lysandre just rewards the player who gets off to the faster start the same way Catcher did pre-errata. I mean yeah, at least it's a Supporter, so there is some limitation, but it's still just the rich getting richer in terms of gamestate.
Refreshing change idea? An item card that yanks, but requires that you're down on prizes to play it, similar to Pow! Hand Extension from years ago.
How about a new staple draw style? It doesn't even necessarily HAVE to stay a Supporter (think back to Claydol or Pidgeot days), but if we're going to stick with Supporters as main-draw, how about something like: "Draw a card for each of your remaining prizes". OR "Place 1 or 2 cards from your hand on the bottom of your deck and draw until you have 7 cards in hand."
Better yet, we could rely on Pokemon-based draw, and use cool resource-gathering supporters like Castaway or Cyrus's Conspiracy. Maybe something like "Search your deck for a Stadium, Supporter, and Tool". Or something. Idk I'm literally spitballing off the top of my head. They have teams of designers whose job it is to innovate and keep the game fresh and interesting and honestly, it feels like they've been on paid vacation for years.
