The full arts in Japan are actually not as good as the English ones imo. They look cheaper in Japan, not only is the texture not as define but the cardboard used is thinner and kind of flimsy. I definitely prefer the English full arts to the Japanese ones.
That being said I think the full art megas will look cooler with Japanese text, as opposed to the ugly giant English text.
Really, really hoping it will be a Ancient trait Ninetales in the set :O Gotta say I'm way to hyped for this set, maybe even more than Flashfire (I'm a Charizard fan). I like all the EXes except for Treventant, but its still a lot better than Emolga at least. Might get 3 boxes of this set, and I'm even tempted to get a japanese booster box but probably only of one of the set in that case >_>

I can not wait to get these cards! I think that this set is going to be great.
Gardevoir EX looks awesome, and the Camerupt EX.....OMG!
****Looks for time acceleration card*****

I don't really find the texture to be any better on the English FAs compared to their Japanese counterparts. But, oh well. To each their own. Japanese FAs may be on slightly flimsier stock, but at least I don't have to worry about miscuts or smudges or nicks or other quality imperfections.

No, the megas will be secret rare like the golden megas.
Yo. This set is kind of hype, especially from the perspective of Supporter cards.
Really, ScottSpain? The only one I see as ultimately viable that we know thus far is Teammates. Maybe Birch will replace Shauna, but Shauna isn't that popular to begin with. Maxie and Archie are interesting, but they're too situational to be competitive.
God dammit PCL! Are they for real with this? They waited (and wasted) this whole time to just make full art megas all of a sudden?? It was already somewhat annoying they started to make spirit link cards in the previous set and didn't make them for the other megas but this one is unforgivable!
What about the previously released Megas? It's not fair they don't get full arts like the ones from this set onwards.

If they really want Stage 2s to start seeing consistent usage they should make Rare Candy a Tool card that gets discarded once Level 2 is achieved. It'd act like a Spirit Link essentially.
The set looks amazing though. I'm not excited that the Primals received Spirit Links but it was probably inevitable. Definitely looking forward to getting all of the scans. Glad to see a new variety of Stadiums as the current ones are kind of limiting.

Are more Team Flare cards expected?

I think it's just the way they are pictured here. I'm sure weather they're Japanese or English they both look great when they are scanned for the site. We just need to get proper scans of them on the website I think it is the lighting effect when taking the pictures that are making them look like this. The Gardevoir EX full art is what they are all meant to look like, the picture of that card has been taken from almost directly above, where as the others are angled, hence the light making them look sandy and texturized.
I'm just going to try and get the Wailord EX full art and I'm totally digging the 1/2 artwork especially because of the backgrounds. The background of these 1/2 art cards is what makes them more special than most of the EX cards in this set in my opinion, even though some are common and uncommon.

I cannot agree enough. The biggest pet peeve I have with this set, though, is that it seems that for every Half-Art Ancient Pokémon, there is a Standard Art Pokémon for it. (Sceptile, Bunnelby, Medicham) I get really annoyed by that, because I bet the Rarity choices for the English Sets will take advantage of this by making them 1 rarity higher. For example, I bet that Ancient Eelektrik will be a Rare instead of an Uncommon!

Actually these are just the Japanese ex's, Absol could be featured like Aegislash and Dialga was in Phantom Forces, in Primal Clash, though with so many ex's I doubt it will be and kind of hope it isn't. Also I'd prefer full art Absol in a future set.
But looking at the pictures of the trainers, where you can see the texture on the cards well, I don't see any ridges so I'm anticipating seeing the English full arts moreso then the these Japanese ones.
