Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

They may print one for whatever reason, but there is no chance at all of the new professor being a classic one. The games are taking place in Kalos and a brand new region.

I think they mean like the effect the card could be like Birch or Rowan had rather than Sycamore/Juniper, not the new professor actually being one of those.
 
Hi! I was wondering if anyone can tell me where people in the USA can buy/pre order Japanese Pokemon sets/booster boxes? Thanks!

As far as I know, you only get the promo when you purchase a booster box, in person, from a Pokemon Center in Japan. I would love someone to contradict me and tell me another place to pre-order to get the promo, even better, available to pre-order online and ships to the US. Shipping to Japan only would also be acceptable (if it has the promo) because Tenso is a thing...

I mean, you can pre-order from Amazon Japan and use a forwarding service, but Amazon Japan doesn't mention the pre-order promo card bonus. Anyone know if you get the promo if pre-ordering from Amazon Japan?
 
This particular promo doesn't appear to be PokéCenter exclusive, but instead simply store-exclusive which means that online-only retailers (like AmiAmi and Amazon) probably won't get them. There will be plenty of resellers selling just the promo through Y!J and the like, though.
 
FINALLY! Now people can max rarity like max rarity is meant to be!
However, I think the art could've been better. Sycamore's head looks a little disproportioned, and the background... The background could've been much better...
 
Aw, I'm kinda sad the background isn't blue or purple or something. I'm not sure if I like the orange with him as much as I do with Juniper. It's a nice dynamic pose though!
same. also what does chespin have anything to do with this, I know in the mega evolution special there was that girl with a chespin. but still.
 
Really pokemon? This full art should have been released WAY earlier. I am so happy this came out even though the art looks a little weird. We need a full art Shauna and Hex. I am starting to wonder why we have full art Teammates and Xerosic :/
 
inb4 Volcanion will be a dual type [R][W] type.

I'm really hoping that this is the case and the "new mechanic" teased is a return to dual-typing in the TCG. I missed that era of Pokémon and it always seemed so cool.

On one hand, the fact that they're specifically speculating about Volcanion's types might be construed as a hint towards that, but it could also just as easily be that there will be multiple Volcanion cards, or it could even just be meaningless hype.

I would be torn about dual types, since it wouldn't really be a new mechanic. Then again, breaks were pretty much Lvl Xs with slightly new rules, like how many you could have in a deck.
 
Yeah rather Volcanion is a Pokemon with the ability dual type to make it [W][F], or they make a [W] volcanion AND a [F] Volcanion.
 
Competley random idea, what if the "New mechanic" is DELTA SPECIES, and Volcanion isn't Fire OR water.
