Lillie Regionals Promo! By: Water Pokémon Master Posted 2 weeks ago to TCG 12 comments The Regionals promo for the Unified Minds quarter will be an alternate art version of Lillie from Sun and Moon! The artwork originates from the Japanese Sky Legend set, which was released in Japan on April 26th. Several Trainer cards have been getting alternate art reprints in recent Japanese sets. It seems they will be used for Play! Pokemon promos, such as Pokemon Leagues. Thanks goes to @JOKMOK_events for the picture!
Starting to get really tired of this trend. I'd prefer these in normal sets because I haven't enjoyed this card game in almost over 3 years. I'd love the cute alternate arts - but I'm not going to invest and play in this meta to get them.
Id say you wont - like all the other league promo trainer alternate arts! Hmm i was gonna go to sheffield this weekend for my regional (uk), but decided not to travel as done ok at 2 recent league cups... but regret this now
r The point is we shouldn't have these ripped from their sets for this purpose. It just makes them more expensive than they should be.
They are doing it this way because if this card was released with the other Sky Legends cards, then the legality would reset and Lillie would remain in the format for *at least* another year. I don't think that Lillie was removed from Unified Minds/Hidden Fates just to be a Regionals promo. But rather, having it as a Regionals promo allows players to get an alt art that otherwise wasn't going to be released at all. Also, these days, the promo is given out in various ways beyond playing in the main event. There are often side events where participants can get one (or a whole playset). Plus, you can trade for one. There are multiple ways of getting this promo at the event besides actually playing in it.
