    The Easiest Broken Deck — Turbo Iron Hands ex

    It's eye-wateringly steep, but I doubt the subscriber count would triple if the price dropped to 5 bucks. Even if it did, they'd still be making less money thanks to transaction fees.

    Loyal Three, Kiernan, Carmine, and More Cards from “Mask of Change” Revealed!

    No, it provides a single unit of energy that is every type simultaneously. TPCi has stated that repeatedly, but this particular ruling makes it very clear:

    Stellar Tera Type Coming to the Pokemon TCG in “Stellar Miracle” Set!

    Shot in the dark: maybe they'll have a unique default type and type-changing Abilities like Keckleon or the old Crystal Pokemon.

    How “Pokemon TCG Pocket” Will Usher in a Massive New Era for the Pokemon TCG

    The high rarity cards do have new art, but none of the cards exist IRL. Lower rarity cards have recycled art but all-new text.

    How “Pokemon TCG Pocket” Will Usher in a Massive New Era for the Pokemon TCG

    Most people who buy Pokemon cards don't have anything graded; they're just buying packs for their own amusement. Card collections in apps like these exist on the game developers' servers; it's essentially impossible to create fake digital cards. Pocket will have a trading feature; the way it's...

    “Twilight Masquerade” Pokemon TCG Set Releasing in May!

    I think this might be my favorite English set name ever.

    Updated “ex Battle Deck” Images Show New Artwork for Houndoom ex and Melmetal ex, Deck Lists

    Yeah. It's hard to get too mad when they're the cheapest entry level decks in nearly twenty years, but I wish they'd include a few more cards that stay relevant once you understand how to play.

    Van Gogh Museum Fires Employees for Embezzling During Pokemon Collaboration, New Details Emerge

    Mildly interesting to see the cards were printed in Belgium. I know Cartamundi has/had a card printing facility there, but I thought TPCi had their cards printed near exclusively in the US (the Portuguese version of the game being the only exception I knew of).

    “ex Deluxe Battle Decks” for Zapdos ex and Ninetales ex Releasing in March!

    My guess is that they thought the old logos didn't do enough to distinguish the three tiers of "Battle Deck" they currently make; the ex and League Battle Deck logos were similarly redesigned.

    New “Premium Tournament Collection” and “ex Box” in April!

    It's not my first instinct to think this is a tie-in for an unannounced game, either (the SV DLC is reason enough, and like you said, tie-ins typically fill the year after the game), but it's not entirely accurate to say we don't get remakes in consecutive gens. FRLG and HGSS released in...

    Shiny Scyther, Scizor from Shiny Treasure ex!

    Pretty sure that's just an educated guess based on past special sets and a leaked card's set symbol rather than anything definitive.

    Official Card Dex App To Be Discontinued

    Eh... Interns or not, shutting PTCGO down with no replacement would have fostered less ill-will and have been cheaper than developing Live, paying Direwolf to maintain PTCGO for an extra year because Live wasn't ready, and continuing to pay Direwolf to maintain the code card system for another...

    “Jirachi V Box” Product Release Confirmed!

    Bundles from Live's in-game shop never feature assortments of packs. It's always exclusively packs from the most recent regular set at the time of the bundle's release or from the same special set as the IRL version.
