I wonder if TPCi is rejecting the prospect of even trying to integrate Super Secret Rares into their card packing systems in a way that is unintentionally encouraging players to go to Expanded, Laserbank and all, where their favorite GX is guaranteed to stay in format until it and if it is banned, even if the issue is unrelated to anything not to do with the rarity? Despite their perceived refusal to reprint anything within the S&M block other than set mascots and some Trainers on a season when they are about to make their last gasp in Standard without the opportunity for one last chance in the projected final set of the Tag Team TCG block expected to hit on November 2019, the same month the next generation is expected to hit on the VG end, even if such refusal means not even trying a new challenge in terms of "what category of rarity are they?", even if I believe that Super Secret rares would be cool to have in English at some point this year, because of their rarity and rainbow rares combined with a clear image, not just an image obscured by a rainbow hue meshed into their image?
^ If that action holds firm, then I doubt that any of the good pokemon-GX will make it to the last season of the SUM group(Sun & Moon-Crimson Invasion, Ultra Prism-Lost Thunder, and SM9-SM12), even if the issue here is not the name, but the different looks of card type, and not the art appropriate within said card type, not to mention that I bet fans will be disappointed if they find those shinies to only be made as Japanese-exclusive cards for the purpose of catering to Pokemon's home base with no plans to localize said cards for release outside Japan, even if such cards utilizes a new type of rarity that would spook non-Japanese pokemon fans thanks to TPCi choosing not to even bother trying to manufacture cards of a higher rarity than the rarities they already use currently vs. that of what Creatures Inc.(the responsible party for pokemon card-packing in Japan?) has now, and that would be a bummer...
