On the subject of Mega Dragonite though...it's alright. You can tell it was 100% a Gamefreak design, along the lines of the equally-goofy Mega Manectric. Not my personal cup of tea, but absolutely a certified Gamefreak design, at least.
Very interesting to see that the Japanese sets have already been revealed to have nicer borders on their versions of these. Sure, you could sorta make the case that Japanese cards were in-line with their English variants if you ignored the holo patterns (which are hard to show online anyway)...
To be fair, this was probably the best look at Z-A we've gotten yet, and is probably the last we'll see, before release. This alone was worth watching the rest of the Direct for...but just barely.
...Also skirts are back. Figured I should mention that at least, since they haven't been...
Never thought I'd live to see the day where TPCI decides to treat Unova better than Kanto, yet here we are. Strange times we're living in, that's for sure. I very much approve of this sudden tone shift though, don't get me wrong! ^^

This...this one announcement gave me actual, permeable hope for the future of this franchise (...in the official video game medium, that is). We all know this franchise can exist even if Gamefreak all got Thanos-snapped away at this point, but like...it actually feels...GREAT to be excited for...
Why is seemingly no one talking about the fact that Takumi Akabane was explicitly involved with this scam? Sure, there's lots of blame to be thrown everywhere, but considering he was mentioned in the 2nd sentence of this article, I'm surprised to see so few people directing ire towards his way...
Yep, definitly means we're getting Unova remakes, for sure. @_@ Just like how we got that Kanto remake last year, right? XD
Besides, BW3 already exists on the GBC, and it's better than anything Gamefreak would be able to make today, with how they (barely) Pokemon Work™ these days.
