Shaymin-EX, Swampert-EX, Winona, and More from 'Emerald Break!' [2/13]

Actually I interpeted that comment to mean somehow we expected to have a new Zapdos EX released around that point. It had nothing to do with rotation because to be honest since I rarely play and never play in sanctioned tournaments I don't really pay that close of attention to that information.
 
Oh you mean rotated out. I read this as in you were saying a Zapdos-EX was being released in September.
 
That's why I loved HGSS era when the primes were all regular pokemon and never legendaries, they had their own type of card. Shame primes never lasted longer
 
That's why I loved the Lv. X mechanic. Sometimes we'd have legendaries like Mewtwo, Darkrai, Cresselia, Palkia and Dialga while other times we'd have regulars like Glaceon, Leafeon, Lucario, Hippowdon and Gliscor. It was a good balance.

The one good thing about both Lv. X and Primes were that they encouraged evolution, what I think should be an important point in the game.

That's one thing I dislike about the new EX's is they take Pokemon like Florges and Malamar (to say nothing about the megas themselves) and turn wrongfully them into basic Pokemon for convience. At least the EX's made during the R/S/E era were labeled apporpriately.

No, they don't make much sense on full arts. Just look at Articuno EX as opposed to Zapdos and Moltres EX.

Zapdos and Moltres EX were released as Japanese Promos included with the Black/White Kyurem EX battle decks. That's why they don't have FA variants. Same thing applies for pretty much every EX in existence that doesn't have a Full Art print.
 
Eight Bench

Whaaaaat theeeee

Real talk, when would that actually come in handy? There are only so many resources to charge anything up. Would have been so much cooler back in the SP days with the toolbox styled decks.

It's actually pretty good with M Rayquaza EX and Shaymin EX, giving you the space needed to do 240 damage while having both attackers and support on the bench.
It could also see some use in Plasma decks that play Bats, as they could have bats, attackers and Deoxys EX on the bench.
Evolution decks in general benefit from this card.
 
GadgetJax; it's true that Moltres EX and Zapdos EX were part of the theme decks then. But M. Charizard (Y) EX was part of a theme deck thing too and they still ended up making the secret rare gold version. They could have done this for all of the promo cards if they so chose too, but they did not. I realize of course this is not a translation problem but Nintendo's, if they wanted to they could have put in full arts as secret rares just like they do all other full arts.

Should have mentioned this earlier but what is everyone's opinion on the fact that as of Primal Clash they seemed to have discontinued those secret rare gold megas?
 
I find the FA Megas A LOT better than the gold ones, mainly because they're different from the actual Mega card. All TPCi used to change was the borders, and while this was actually good on a couple of cards, I would have loved to see shiny Megas.
Anyways, I can't wait to see FA M Ray!
 
The fact we have Full Arts of Emolga and Malamar, before Suicune and Arceus is a question I'd like to ask Nintendo and Ken Sugimori.

Personally I think they should have finished the legendaries before starting on the regular pokemon.


I mean whether a Pokemon deserves to get a full art is just opinion. Imo if the Pokemon is memorable or cool looking and a final evolution it deserves a full art. I don't think every mega deserves a full art, for example Sableye and Audino. Either regular or mega.

Personally I think all legendaries(Pokemon that are either given out in an event or there's only one and they are high leveled, are owed a full art.

The full art Megas are better then the gold versions, I think of the ones we had that didn't get full arts the only ones I'd like to see full arts of are Charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise and Gengar. Shiny Mega Gengar as a full art would be really cool.
 
Seeing Uxie LA come back in the form of Shaymin EX makes me wonder if we'll see Claydol GE come back in the form of Deoxys EX.

Looks like a super cool set from these few cards already. 8 bench could potentially change up a tonne.
 
I'd be happy just to get the shiny M. Gengar EX even if it's not full art. Likewise I'd be happy just to get dragon and fairy type Arceus, let alone an EX one. I do however think a good all purpose Arceus EX would intially be colorless but let it have an ability that either lets you choose it's type when it's placed onto your bench, choose a type for it once per turn, or at least let it choose a type depending on the Pokemon that you (and maybe your opponent) has in play.

You're right Maserati777, which Pokemon 'deserve' a full art is really a matter of opinion. There are those (I am not one of them) that say since Iris owned an Emolga in the anime that makes it worth a full art. For the record I don't see any reason for Malamar to have had one. You're also right that just because a Pokemon mega evolves (like Sableye, Audino, or Mawile) doesn't mean it or it's mega has to have a full art. Again it all goes to a matter of opinion on what Pokemon 'deserves' it.

Ahahaha, I didn't even notice the Uxie LA retread! I love it!

Looking at some of the cards around now, the Stadium is either going to effect things to the point it's the Stadium (much like BTS, Tropical Beach, and SkyArrow), or it'll just fall off. Don't see it making a middling impact.

All of MegaPokémon and its "pre-evolution", will be EX if nothing changes (something like half-art).

For me it's a shame that not all Megas and their "pres" will have FA version, because some, will come in boxes or are in previous sets. I want MegaVenusaur EX FA, Absol EX FA, for example.

I hope someday the secrets cards in some new set, will be FA of previous EX and Megas that hasn't FA.

I know your pain, I really wanted Metagross EX FA (not to mention M Metagross EX FA) wish he was in a set and not in a box :(
 
I think they're trying to shutdown my flygon by making it so easy to make work, then when it does, no one will let it with the team wide heals and the team wide heal attacks.

Considering that there was a Gallade EX promo AND there will be a Mega Gallade EX line in Roaring Skies, it seems that just because a Pokemon is represented as a Promo EX doesn't mean that it won't ever get a FA.
