Origins is like a middle-of-the-road candy compared to Red and Blue. I can see why a lot of people enjoy it, but it's not really good, and certainly not what we fans deserve. And they messed with Giovanni's character in an unforgivable way. Good animation, though.

I have my concerns about this. Origins was a huge disappointment, primarily because they tried to shove the entire plot of Red and Blue into four 20-minute episodes. So what exactly are these shorts going to be about? From the implied battle between Blue and Lance, I'm gonna guess these are...

Hm, not very happy these three-pack blisters are coming with BREAKThrough packs. Unless that's just a French release thing? I'm all about that Pikachu deck, though. I'd love to have a shatter holo version of that iconique card.

I see this argument all the time and it drives me up the wall. Generations products are priced very well. Let's take the mythical collections. They're $13 for two packs, a promo and a pin. Now, if we assume a Generations pack can be retailed for $4 (the same price as a single normal pack at...

*aggressively starts saving right now*

Thank the patron saint of TCG that Gardevoir did not get a tin. Oddly enough, these tins feel like they're heavily promoting the movie. It's weird, since we usually get zero movie promo in the US. I mean, duh, the set promotes the movie, but you know.

Oddly enough, it's those packs that make me want to get the tins. I still need to complete XY Base and LT, and those are not easy packs to find. (yes I know I could buy the singles I need, but that's not as fun) ETA: I think I like the shallower tins, as well. Take up less shelf space. Just so...

Oh, I am so excited for this set! (although not happy about Hoopa and regular Volcaneon getting turned into regular rares for the English set, but eh...) Fates Collide was a little underwhelming for me, so I'm glad to see such a beautiful set on the horizon. Also - I love WPM's sense of humor :P

I will never understand how they choose what non-character trainers get fullarts. How you gonna do Hex Maniac dirty like that?

Those theme deck names...I wonder what they'll be. I get the decks will feature one of the dual-types. Possibly the two dual-types that haven't been revealed. Gears of Fire is definitely metal/fire, so...Heatran? Ring of Lightning isn't as obvious. Ring makes me think fairy-type, but the only...

Yes! Venusaur is my favorite, so I'm very excited about this one. I wonder if it'll have damage to its flower? That'd be kind of cool.

Everyone gets so salty about jumbo cards vs. figures. Anyway, that Zygarde figure looks so cool! I may pre-order this box, which would be a first for me. I mean, I should buy the figure boxes I need first (still need the Mewtwo ones...and Blastoise is coming out soon too, bah). I should ask...

You can buy it early through Pokemon Center from July 1 to September 1. After September 1, you can then buy it from retail stores like Target. Basically, if you want it early, go through PC. If you don't want to pay for shipping, wait :P

Wait, M Gardevoir's attack is called Despair Ray. And it's a cruel trator...

Wow! I was wary of how M Gardevoir would look, but this is fantastic! Much more glorious than Volcaneon EX, imo. I want like three copies of this, lol. And the golden egg! That card looks a bit of a mess. It would probably look better if azumarill wasn't shiny, but that gold clashes badly with...
