Feel like Pokemon is slowly creeping into the same issues Magic has fallen into (and that comicbooks fell into during their boom-and-bust era). Too many sets and too much in them going on with awful pull rates
“Black Bolt” and “White Flare” Special Sets Revealed in English, Will Be First-Ever Dual Sets!
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
Landorus got abandoned, huh. I don't really understand why you'd pair a legendary trio with a legendary duo and therefore just abandon one of the group lol
Thundurus and Tornadus have alwaays been a pair tho. Like a Groudon Kyogre (trio if you add Rayquaza) type of situation
I'm curious to know the other 6 EXs.
We have Zekrom, Reshiram, Kyurem, Meloetta, Keldeo and Serperior for now.
I'd like one of the remaining six to be Krokoodile.
Chandelure is a good possibility since it's very popular in Japan.
I'd like to see Excadrill, Ferrothorn, Conkeldur, Volcarona, Haxorus and Hydreigon.
We already have a Hydreigon EX, but it's Tera, and I hate Tera arts.

If this was only 1 set, it would take you years to get that one random IR you need out of the 150+ of them.
Ahh this set is so exciting! I managed to snag a pre-order on my local site (just a BB and tin. I don't have much money haha) but I might go back for more if there's still availability after I get paid. Really excited cause I love so many BW mons. I especially love that my favourite pokemon is featured on a tin!! The pre-orders are unfortunately randomly allocated but hopefully I'll be able to get lucky or get my hands on it later.
In regards to the actual cards I'm super hyped, not even for the IRs and SIRs (though obviously that's insane!) but just the regular arts too

you played black & white, didn't you?
tornadus was exclusive to black, the reshiram game, so it's in white flare. thundurus was exclusive to white, the zekrom game, so it's in black bolt. it's really basic and obvious theming.
Man as someone who only buys IR singles for my pokedex album this is going to suckkkk lol.
I can skip on some I already have from previous sets with nice arts like Mienshao, Crustle, Zorua, N's Reshiram, Vanillish etc. But that still leaves about 140 other singles I have to source and buy lol. Hopefully the pull rates for IRs are not that bad. Even at $10AUD a pop that's like $1,400 lol

Japanese. 100-200 yen a card
Yeah will have to rebuy all the cards I've already bought for the pokedex which is way beyond $1500 lolJapanese. 100-200 yen a card
Plus can't read Japanese and trying to simulate a pokedex with entries and everything.
Good luck then, will get impossible from this Point forward. I‘m still glad i made the Switch. Not because of the Price, buttthe cards just look 10x better.
I’ll throw my hat into the ring and say that a viable Genesect ex will be in this set. I would say a viable Garbodor too, but they haven’t printed one in a while, so who knows.
I'm glad I'm no longer a full collector.. nd only pick n choose wht I want.. Limited set with too many rare cards ((secrets) and even multiple reverse
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! ^^
You can find out what cards are in what booster just like you do with any other set...? Same with finding boosters.
Saw someone saying that this just gives them an excuse to redo 151
they are so right
kanto and unova are really the only regions whose rosters of pokemon actually stand on their own like this, so it isn't like they have any other options.Saw someone saying that this just gives them an excuse to redo 151
I saw it differently. If they were able to tackle the biggest roster any other gen is more than feasible now. I guess newer ones would have to ponder what to do with regional forms, pokemon that arent from the region but are from the gen, etc. but still
