They could have done Gen 3 if they really wanted to, even with the presence of 2 pre-evolutions (doesn’t matter for the TCG with how they do babies now) and some older Pokemon in RS (the bulk of which got quarantined to the Hoenn Safari Zone). But yes I agree that them jumping right to gen 5...

151 has the same name in both countries and that wasn't even 2 years ago.

lol okay anyways, Pikachu said Gay Rights

Well hey they could make even more money if they actually printed to demand but people have spent the last 6 months yelling at me that it'll take them 6 months to print more. Instead TPCi can find sufficient resources to print an 800 card master set though.

With the addendum that this set will also have three tiers of reverse holo rarity, on top of 156+ IRs or SIRs, I like how they don't trust one gimmick that would clearly sell a set ("all of the Pokemon from one region," "special set," "everyone gets an illustration rare," etc) so they pile more...

156 illustration rares does that.

Set's already going to be 350ish cards and very well could be split across two subsets in English for the first time, I don't think they care if it's bloated.

156 illustration rares is insane and shouldn't be celebrated unless every pack is gonna have like 5 each.

It's Colorless.

At this point "most of the artwork is reprinted from the physical TCG" isn't even true

Considering sets now are 3x the size of what they were and there's more tiers of rarity in terms of quality and quantity compared to the old days where a 1 in 3 chance to pull 1 of 15 holos in a set was the standard, yes pull rates sucked in Sun and Moon and they still suck now.

Uh yeah I agree with you that Pokemon as a series has no deep characters and everything about its story is very surface level. Therefore there isn't some super secret lore that Ariana is actually Silver's mother because the games are simple and straightforward and they would hint at something...

Ariana literally didn't even have a name for the first 10 years she existed. She was not an important character in the slightest until HGSS came along and had to pretend like the bland executives with six lines of dialogue each were actual characters (still didn't work IMO tbh!). Giovanni not...

There is no indication that Ariana is Silver's mother. In anything.

Chingling just got its first card since 2009. The new bar to beat for being neglected is Quilladin (until Z-A drops).
