Okay, here's what I don't understand... Japan has a few promos of cards from main sets with alternate artwork including gen 1 pokémon like Zubat from Phantom Forces, Vulpix from Primal Clash, Gastly from BREAKthrough, etc...
After the previous news, I thought all cards would be straight reprints, but apparently not. Paras, Gastly and Machop are reprints of recent cards with alternate artwork, but that Gastly doesn't have the same artwork as the japanese promo I mentioned... Still, if some of these cards have alternate art, then WHY THE HELL DIDN'T THEY USE THOSE JAPANESE PROMOS TOO??? *massive facepalm*
Sorry about the rant...
