25+ “Journey Together” Cards Revealed, Some Cards to Be Cut from English Set
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
Yeah I figured there will be more legendary ex to be cut like Kyogre, Xerneas etc
It seems like the cut cards are actually Xerneas ex, Koraidon ex, and Dialga ex, while we are getting 4 Black Belt's Practice in the set (unless the trainers have weird names). I have my own setlist made lol
If you want my reasoning, I'll be glad to share
Do we have any idea if/when we are getting the tapu koko ex or blaziken ex from the Japan starter decks?
The article implies theyre all in here i think
It makes no sense to have 4 Black Belts based on numberings we know. The more likely it's that we are only getting 2 of each Black Belt and Professor. Xerneas and Dialga were already out since they're in the Azure Legends tins.
I just discovered the tins... thank you for that info. As for the numbering, the 2 important cards to look at are Hop's Dubwool and Brock's Scouting. Hop's Dubwool is #136. Looking at the cards that come after that, Cramorant or Hop's Cramorant is #137, the other one is #138, Lechonk is #139, Oinkologne is #140, and Squawkabilly is #141. That ends the pokemon. As for the names of the trainers, some could be translated differently, but most of the trainers are places or actual trainer names, so we know where those will fit. I forgot about gym promos being added into the set, so I'll concede that the number of Black belts will be wrong as Billy & O'Nare will most likely be added into the set as #142. Then, there is Black Belt's Practice from #143-145 allowing Brock's Scouting to be #146 as revealed. Everything else from Battle Partners fits into the rest of the set afterwards, allowing space for one Professor's Research. If I missed anything, please let me know.
If they're mixing Start Deck Generations cards with Battle Partners, Journey Together will have cards with differing regulation marks (H and I). Have this ever happened before?
please have better pack arts, i beg.
In mini sets, yes. I don't think this has happened in a main set before.
Brilliant stars had different regulation marks, probably there's more examples
You right.... however, the scale is way different than with BRS. That was 16/172 were E regulation in a F regulation set.... This is more than 50/159 H regulation in an I regulation set... which is insane imo. I do think that Brilliant Stars was the only one. They were trying to finish off the battle academy cards, which is also what made Fusion Strike such a bloated set.
Is there a precedent for reprinting a card twice in the same generation? I know Arven was reprinted in Obsidian Flames but I really hope we get that card again in JT.
There is a lot... Ultra Ball, Professor's Research, Boss's Orders, Energy Search/Switch/Retrieval, etc. It is possible arven gets reprinted, but It has been in 3 sets already (SVI, OBF, PAF; although the PAF one is just a FA)
Perfect, thanks for the response. I’m deciding not to count the PAF one (which I pulled incidentally) as it’s not a reprint of the base card. That base Arven is very expensive in my part of the world and I actually considered purchasing a booster box of S&V just to farm it
Twilight masquerade which is H regulation has at least one G regulation card that I know of (Riafort), but I haven’t checked the whole set so maybe more.
