Honestly, between the two of them – neither am I! I can see how it might come across that way, but I am genuinely curious on why someone would miss theme decks, and figured I'd lay flat out what parts it is I'm not understanding. [1] I dont understand the premise that Theme Decks were good...

I don't know how the HGSS pricing broke down, but in terms of "set completion" theme decks were never a good way of going about it. The main thing I'm quizzing here is this pretense of Battle Decks as some unscrupulous cash grab where Theme Decks were somehow manna from heaven and along those...

I don't get the point.

I hadn't bought a theme deck in over 10 years when they retired them. I think they got a bit better than I remember them being, but they were always these weird products that overall seemed to offer inferior value to boosters.

I'm not. It's fine.

??? You were the one suggesting the name is a clever twist on its name, somehow. "According to Bulbapedia" means nothing. The site is not reputable. I think the design's atrocious and ill-informed, you're going to suggest it having four horns means it's sophisticated. Overall it's whatever...

Girafarig's name came after the design. The Pokémon was more than just a pun but this "evolution" proposes to reduce it to one ..this is exactly my point.

Like most of these new regional forms and evolutions, Girafarig's misses the point of.. well, it misses the point of Girafarig.

I'm saying the opposite. If the company doesn't care enough to stop the leak, it must not matter to them. So just report on leaks.

I doubt he was fired as well, but I haven't found anything to prove he wasn't. This has crossed my mind as an unfortunate possibility. I haven't found anything to support it, though. EDIT: Oh.

I have a theory. Keiji Kinebuchi made the artwork for Basic Energy, and was credited for it, back with Base Set. He stopped being credited on Basic Energy cards starting with Energy cards in the e-Card era, which is coincidentally when he stopped making new artwork for the TCG altogether...

If we're thinking of the same thing, that wasn't the same situation. Certain sites were reporting on leaked copies of BW they were playing on emulators, and gave themselves away when they reported on certain anti-piracy features built into the game – e.g. reporting lack of experience gain as a...

Almost definitely, and I think that's traditionally been why WPM hasn't reported on it, and probably why he isn't reporting on it this time either. My concern is that this keeps happening – WPM might care about this more than TPC or Millenium Print Group do, who at this point might be...

I'm going to take this as an opportunity to ask about this – and no offense taken if the post is deleted. I generally support WPM's decision to not report on leaks attained via stolen property, but it's going to be an awkward few months for commenting on this site. I'll do what I can to pretend...

Isn't it the same for you? Pretty sure the guy was kidding, but holi cannoli you went and jumped down his throat..

Like I was saying. Decent artwork, not too sure where the flack is coming from :p

Nice art, but doesn't really fit the set. What does a laboratory in Alola have to do with the setting of most of the rest of Paradigm Trigger?

I'm perfectly familiar with his work, that's not the issue here.

You're saying this definitively but it's all subjective – perspective's fine, he's shouting because he's probably delivering a speech so the facial expression is also fine, and the shading is as good as Arita ever does? I'm not terrifically sure what you expect to be "going on elsewhere" in this...

Looks fine to me. Not sure where the flack is coming from on this one.
