This is a 4 person project created on Acanthite forums. I present to you, from the creators, Platinum - Swamp! The logo is coming shortly, as is the first actual card. We will give you 2-5 cards every 2 weeks, and, after due consideration, we will present the spoiler about a week before the actual card comes out.

Spoilers:

Grovyle G LV 41 HP 80 [G]
Basic - SP Pokemon

Poke Power: Quick Return
Once during your turn (before your attack), if Grovyle G has 10 HP left, you may switch Grovyle G with one of your Benched Pokemon. At the end of your turn, discard all cards attached to Grovyle G.

[G][C][C] Razor Slash 30
Choose one of your opponent's Pokemon. This attack does 10 damage to that Pokemon (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokemon).

Weakness: [R] x2
Resistance: [W] -20
Retreat Cost: [C][C]


Nincada LV 22 HP 70 [G]
Basic

Poke Power: Shell Keeper
Once during your turn (before your attack), if you have a Ninjask or Shedinja in your hand, you may place it on top of Nincada. This counts as evolving Nincada.

[G] Bug Slash 20

Weakness: [R] +10
Resistance:
Retreat Cost: [C]
 
Given that there are no cards, there's not much to critique, but 'Swamp' is far too simple. I can think of half a dozen more detailed names off the top of my head. Use some imagination.

Also, Grovyle G Lv.X is impossible. Even though it is an SP Card, there are no times in which a 'Super' card is not a final evolution. I don't care how much you love it, it doesn't happen.

Pikachu M Lv.X? Okay, it was Japanese only, but still. Also, a lot of Pokémon Star weren't fully evolved.

I like the choice of Pokémon, by the way.
 
Thanks HOS once again. And I still haven't forgotten your extra thanks to me for the error report...

Swamp. It was chosen to be a simple name. But quite catchy. And I agree with Rotom479. With the rules of JAPANESE cards, we can stretch anything. And it's not super. It's special.

EDIT: Nincada is up! Realise that there is no Ninjask or Shedinja in the set, which makes the card pretty useless apart from its high HP and Bug Slash.

EDIT2: Some Hallowe'en surprises coming up!
 
All I have to say about Nincada is that prereleases better be over when you pull this card. Then again, Ninjask and Shednja have never really been too good to begin with.
 
It's just the spoiler. Also, the expected delay on Grovyle G has been removed, we are now hoping for a 2-5 day release.

Nincada was meant to be a random Pokemon. We were aiming for 108 cards and we had 107 cards so we dumped in Nincada. Also, there are only a few trainers in this set because this is a swamp. We are adding secret rares now.
 
And my Dusknoir picture is going to be on a secret rare Dusknoir, released earlier than the set. It's the Hallowe'en surprise. Yes, that is one of the few pictures I shall be doing.
