Actually that isn't true. HGSS had a regular fire Ho-oh and a regular though water Lugia that were our first two promos for that set. Given the fact they have no issues with reprinting things they could have slipped those into our HGSS set but simply chose not to.

I think it could be either the two legendaries or three starters. As you said it will be hard to know for sure until we know what's in the set, not to mention any associated promos.

Ho-Oh and Lugia were not actually in the set, and the theme deck cover cards that are based off the set must have all Pokemon from that set.

It isn't to say they could do both.

If this set's theme decks are the starters, then later in the year, they could release a Groudon vs Kyogre set. They will release something like this, a Xerneas vs Yveltal set later this year.

If this set's theme decks are the legendaries, then later in the year they could release an EX epic collection set containing the EX version of the 3 starters as well as the regular holo versions. They released something like this based on the Johto starters, and using cards from ex Emerald and ex Unseen Forces back in 2007.

The thing is, TPCi doesn't usually release non theme deck precons, and I think they are starting to do so and I hope they continue to do so. Red Genesect collection, Kalos starter set (if you don't count them as "legendary treasures" theme decks), Xerneas vs Yveltal battle arena decks etc.

Gah, what a waste. They could have released the epic collection kanto starter deck containing Venusaur EX, Charizard EX, and Blastoise EX as cover cards, but I guess it isn't too late.

Just a word of note, Sceptile evolution line has never been a theme deck cover card, so that might put one more point towards the starters as theme deck cover cards for this set.

The question is, the set after this one. ORAS themed or going back to being XY themed?

Why not both? *Mexican music plays*

well this one is sort of kind of both too. So what I am saying is, will the next set be pure XY themed set, or will it have some ORAS elements in it?

I think people are misinterpretting the numbers. Now I might be wrong too, but I'm pretty sure it's as follows:

There are 4 total Mega evolution Pokemon. This itself includes Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon (these are labelled as Mega Pokemon in the TCG, which we know from the Hoenn Collection Box), and two other mega evolution cards (presumably 2 of the 3 starter Pokemon, the third being part of its own set like Charizard). This means that of the 12 total Pokemon-EX, 4 are Megas, and 4 are the base-EX's of those Megas. That leaves 4 regular Pokemon EX in the set which have no mega evolutions. This also means there will be at most 8 Pokemon-EX full arts, with 2 secret rare Megas (unless they change the secret rare scheme like I hope they do). That makes 24 ultra Rares in pokemon, and possibly 2-4 additional ultra rares in full-art Trainers.

I hope that was clear enough to explain my understanding.

Oops about the Primals, I thought they were a new category.
That's still 26-28 new URs-FAs-SRs, which is the most a set has ever had I think.
Even Legendary Treasures only had 19 UR cards!
If this set will have 150+ cards then collecting the whole set will be extremely hard to do.

THEORYMON : What if this set is the XY reprint set and that's why there is so many cards. They will do reprints of many EX cards (Yveltal, Xerneas, Virizion, Kangashkhan w/ mega etc.) plus some new EX (like the Excadrill/Chandelure of LT), and some other new EXs with megas. This would also allow for a set to finally have good FA Supporter cards because its a reprint set.
AGAIN JUST A THEORY:
12 EXs:
Yveltal (Reprint)
Xerneas (Reprint)
Virizion (Reprint/price lowers)
Rayquaza (New to go with the set/Reprint?)
Kangashkhan (For the Mega)
Kyogre (Primal confirmed)
Groudon (Primal confirmed)
Metagross (Reported in this set)
Zygarde (last set to do it if this would happen)
Goodra (Random NEW EX)
Rotom (Random NEW EX)
Avalugg (Random NEW EX)

4 Megas:
M Kangashkhan
Primal M Kyogre
Primal M Groudon
M Metagross

7 FA Pokemon:
Kyogre
Groudon
Rayquaza
Zygarde
Metagross
Rotom
Goodra

3 FA Supporters:
FA Professor Sycamore
FA Shauna
FA Blacksmith

This is like super-non realistic, but why would the next set be a new game without a new set with 150+ pokemon...something seems fishy...
 
What if we got a print of the rayquaza EX Full Art that japan got that we didnt, that would make sense considering that mega rayquaza is a thing now
 
If Primal Clash goes down the same way as HGSS/BW/XY, then here's what to expect from it...

-All the Holos will be pretty playable, while most of the other Rares are for filler.

-The Fire Type Starter will be the most powerful Starter in the set.

-The Water Type Starter will be pretty good as well, but not on the level of being broken.

-The Grass Type Starter will be overhyped, and not be as good as everyone thought it would be.

-WAY TOO MUCH FILLER!

-The Legendary Pokemon will be way beyond broken and probably win a few Championships.
 
Really hoping for a new Deoxys EX soon, hes a really cool pokemon and yes, I do know he already has a playable EX card, I think it would be cool if he got speed or attack form but I would highly doubt that as there will probably a set focused on him. As for the theme decks I would guess two random pokemon kind of like they have been doing but maybe some playables thrown in. A reprint of some trainers from XY base would be nice, Muscle Band, Sycamore, Prof Letter but am I the only one that realizes that switch hasn't been printed since BCR?
