New Absol Promo and Classic Energy Reprints for Japan!

Absol looks cool, but I don't think it will be really good in the format. Those energies though, I do hope they give us a retro Fairy and Double Colorless Energies. If they had a reverse holo versions of those, I would definitely use those in decks.
 
I do like that Absol card. It looks super fun! Also retro energy though the ones I want reprinted are the ones from ex Emerald.
 
Retro fairy, if they do make it, might replace the unnumbered foil ones from the vs deck I use right now in fairy toolbox. Awesome.
 
Now only if these cards said stuff like "If this was damaged by an attack" instead of the obvious scenario


Might be me, but I really hate the absol artwork on that card. Although its drawn unnecessarily muscular, the horse neck is what upsets me the most.
 
That art on the absol looks amazing. Also, I hope we get the energies at some point, maybe evolutions
 
I love seein' old energy ;u; And that Absol is beautiful! I hope it gets a localisation with the same art aha.

They can't let the bench be a "safe space" anymore. Lysandres, bats, shurikens, if this absol can hinder your opponent while on the bench we can't have that. Big no-no for some reason
 
First, The Absol card is completely playable in decks that have attackers that "hit and run" (move from active to bench). Absol will add an element of disruption that a "hit and run deck" can befit from. With cards, such as, Red Card, Delinquent, etc. being able to randomly discard a resource under tough circumstances that these card force upon your opponent will be critical.

As for the reprint of Base-set Energy, I love it! Those were my favorite Energy cards because of their minimalist design. They have very little details on them, however, they are sleek and to the point--which is why I like them so much. You do not need fancy holographic patters or striking lines, you just need basic, simple looking Energy cards!
 
I like the artwork of Absol myself. It's a decent card too.

Retro energy...well okay I guess. I wouldn't mind seeing some fairy, dark and steel this way. The rest, not to worried about. I've been in TCG since before Team Rocket, I have plenty of original print energy of fire, grass,water, electric, fighting, and psychic as well as quite a few double colorless. And technically they're all still legal since they all have 'reprints'.
 
This kind of makes me wonder if, for the first Sun and Moon sets, they will print energy cards with type symbols like those in the recent Japanese trailer (when the three Alola starters "react" to the diamond bracelet thing).

Maybe in the background, can't see the energy symbols ever changing.
 
That Absol is amazing. Even with the high energy cost, that ability makes up for it.

And I'm gonna be hoping the retro energy cards do get reprinted over here, though I have a bunch of old Psychic energies from Base Set/Base Set 2 in my energy trunk :p
 
Not of the same number but when I went to Kings Park on Saturday (Perth, Western Australia) there were at least a hundred people there for some reason (I haven't yet gotten on to playing Pokemon Go) on their phones. I think there was an article saying there was a Hitmonlee there as well as Eevee.
 
I'm pretty happy about these, and Water Pokemon Master I hope that everything goes better for you in the future!
 
These things look sweet! Glad to see Dark and Steel (and I guess Fairy energies as well) energies in the classic energy format. I've always been a fan of the design.
