KANAKO EO!!!! Such AMAZING artwork, I am in tears.... I must have my hands on this card! This would be the perfect promo card to encourage people to buy TCG products in the US.

Will this be localized?

The bento itself doesn't impress me. It's obviously intended for kids, though. I like how the card looks. Not it's in-game effect, it's art. Chespin seems to be acting in character, if that's Clemont's Chespin.

I can picture the card setting an American back more on eBay than the Japanese person paid for the set.

Pre-order a bento set?
...why would that be necessary?

 

[GadgetJax]

Is this the first time Doughnuts have been featured on a Pokemon card?

Any ideas IF this card might makes its way into an English version?

No way to know until it's announced. I would think it unlikely, but they might decide to toss it in a promo blister or something at some point.

Assuming that Chespin is Clemont's (as it is acting so), the Sylveon will be Serena's? Though I guess that's pretty much confirmed by now.

I've never seen them use these kinds of promos from Japan. Hope they do, though.

I haven't either, which is why I think it's unlikely, but we won't know for sure until/unless it happens.

That moment when you realize that Japanese 7-11' sell Pokemon Lunch boxes and promo cards and American 7-11's just have crappy gas prices and hobos that try to mug you.

 

[Skeleton Liar]

Oh, no... Kanako Eo's art... It's wonderful! I NEED it! But this card will probably cost a small fortune outside of Japan.

Why is this a promo anyway? Should have been included in Bandit Ring. Shame, shame....

That's why I prefer AM/PM. Too much good stuff

It would be out of place in Bandit Ring at this point, Pic-a-niks are a rare find in card arts.

Maybe it might pop up in the Western equivalent, Ancient Origins
