Pikachu and Mew VMax feel very out of place here. Would've saved them for SWSH 12.5 but maybe they're trying to dilute some cards out from that set so it doesn't feel horrifically money grabby?

So, uh, I'm not incredibly sure how hard it is to pull a Radiant in EN, but if it's anything like the Japanese pull rate, why exactly do you want Radiants to be meta-defining cards? There's only a handful of things the English TCG does right, and one of them is that any card that is extremely...

curious what you mean by this. not a fan of over-the-top card templates (and i think in many ways full arts were a mistake. GX were whatever but V template seemed to be getting deviantart-y, so it's definitely already near/at the upper limit of what i'll tolerate them doing)

>they cut the regular print to put in the box instead of the full art ..thanks?

It would be very fun if we got a homage set where all the Terastal types corresponded to typings given to Pokémon in a Delta Species-era set, but I don't think it'll get handled the way DS was. Terastal-type Pokémon will probably be capped to GX/V-rare or better, and there be a TCG-only gimmick...

We don't know.

Were Macca's sets always this much of a crapshoot with the monster selection? I don't see any rhyme or reason that groups these Pokémon together.

Dream League redux.

I mean... that's sort of the case*. So why acknowledge these forms? The answer is probably "it's to hype them up because they're brand new formes!", but 5-10 years down the line it's just going to come across as a lack of attention to detail, just like a lot of other inconsistencies over the...

These photos are sourced from varous online auctions more so than the occasional source of someone's Twitter showing off their pulls, etc. The initial pictures we get are usually not made to "leak" as such, just photos to get the cards sold.

I'm not a fan of it. I like what they did with the HGSS and SM block Lost Zone cards where they all had that dark aura / aura sphere thing in the artwork, this looks like they're decorating the cards with the old Heinz Purple Ketchup

Can you blame them?

Usually due to a discrepancy in translations – a translation that seemed good enough at the time later ends up having a discrepancy of consequence, and the ruling is smoothing out the oversight after the fact. There could also be some rulings that have been made out of deference to functionality...

Correct, but the additional prize card taken if you place Jirachi on the bench would go to the Lost Zone. Jirachi Prism Star says when you take it as a prize card, you can decide to either; (1) put it in your hand – which is identical to what is normally done when a prize card is taken, and so...

Is there actually any evidence of this or are you guys randomly guessing?

Fun? trivia time: This is only the second Comfey card in the TCG (as some already mentioned), and, Midori Harada makes a return to the card game as an artist after a hiatus (and some cryptic tweets about whether she would ever make art for the card game ever again).

Maybe they call it a "Holiday" Calendar because you can buy it after Labor Day

I imagine the Pokemon Go logo is left off of the cards because it would be quite tricky to texturize them with the same holofoil style as the rest of the card?

They have not printed Russian language cards since the XY era.

Pretty disappointed by this one tbh. They screened out a lot of my favorites and of the ones they narrowed it down to I'm not sure they picked the winners. If nothing else, it's nice to see Xous made it to honorable mentions. Both have done more than just the few you've mentioned...
