“Black Bolt and White Flare Tech Sticker Collections” Fully Revealed!

As we knew before, the Illustration Rares of Reuniclus, Gothitelle, Tornadus, and Thundurus have been cut from our English sets and turned into promos. This means that unlike Japan, our sets won't have the full Unova Pokedex.

Uhhmm, Victini also?
 
I'm pretty sure the stickers were illustrated by Shinji Kanda, which is pretty cool if I'm right! The Reuniclus sticker collection was already my most anticipated product for the sets (although I want them all anyway lol), and seeing it I'm even more excited

That's a stretch. There's no reason for these sets to make reference to that movie. It's just coincidence that they both showcase the same version exclusives.

The only other promo card we got is the Victini illustration rare, the main star of the movie. While it would make sense that THIS promo was a coincidence, it's just like c'mon man, you're immune to fun and whimsy and people actually making things with a purpose. The entire set has been filled with throwbacks to old cards and significances of the BW era, so why is this now a stretch?

As you mentioned there are other version exclusive pokemon too so why wouldn't they just put them in the "correct" set and then as the promos? Why would it specifically be the three most prominent pokemon from the movies? They could've just chosen not to make Whimsicott an ex for example.

Cause Victini is a Mythical, and the only one that isn't an ex. So it's not surprising it became a promo. The throwbacks have all been TCG related, nothing else.

Tornadus & Thunderus got promos too, were they in the movie?

Ultimately, what this comes down to is that correlation =/= causation. The existence of a pattern is not enough evidence to justify one thing being the cause for the other. The correlation with the movie is a cute coincidence, but there's not enough evidence to suggest it's an explicit reference, as is.

You'll note as well that Victini isn't in either the English, or Japanese main sets, which is more likely meant to call back to the fact that it's a sort of "secret" mythical that even in game, exists outside of normal pokedex numbering conventions (#000 in Unova's regional dex).

Anyone noticing how they got the version exclusivity wrong with these two? Reuniclus was exclusive to White and Gothitelle to Black, which is fairly obvious I’d think

What the hell are you talking about? Zekrom and reuniclus are in the same games, and reshiram and gothitelle are as well. They got it right but your dumb as hell ass can’t understand that
