Glad to see Pokemon reprinting stuff a lot. Hopefully all of these reach worldwide. If they do, there's no doubt the prices of those cards will drop. I honestly don't care for old or new FA; they all look great. Might be an incentive to lightly get back into the game.

Or as promos, like the Mega Lucario box we're getting. We're not going to a SM-on rotation until potentially the season after next season, so you basically just said we won't get it for another year. And if we do get them, they're not going to have their original set number because they're new arts. So please stop making assumptions, because you don't know anything we don't.
I didnt even mention SUM-on, and that should happen in 2018 anyway. I just said that if we get this set now, it should come as a pre rotated set meaning it wont be standard legal apart from the cards that are standard legal through other sets. The only thing I assumed was the fact that the west will ever see cards from this set (Apart from Jolteon, M man, M lucario and Zygarde).

I'm pretty sure we aren't getting this set. The new Mega Powers boxes are probably going to have those cards as promos, not set cards.

Tell me you don't want all these. Look at all these Full art Supporters.

If they do not release this outside of Japan, I am packing my bag and move to Japan.

They probably will print them in the US because when they don't reprint cards in USA, but do in Japan they usually have the same art and don't make the cards legal any longer than they probably would have been so because of these two factors I think that they have someway planned to distribute these (league/tournament cards, promos, in other sets).

how many ultra rares are expected to be pulled per pack of the best of XY because nearly every card is an ultra rare

Ugh, I have such mixed feelings about this! I want it to go to the U.S. but at the same time I want this weird reprint set to never exist. SOMEONE HELP!!!

Meaning N would stay longer in play..
I matters if it comes to America lol

The darkrai arts are soooo beautiful!!! I want to make a deck with it in it just becuase of the art! If this does'nt make it to the U.S I dont even know...

My Evaluations
  • Salazzle GX - Good. Seems have potential. 2 Energy for 110 is very standard, super standard. Wicked Claw can finish the game in the late game. GX attack is good for Y and MMY only.
  • Slowking - I think nobody is a fan of a "Empty Hand Club".
  • Ledyba/Ledian -
  • Electabuzz/Electivire -
  • Sneasel/Weavile - So we can do 120 to a Dark-weak Pokémon that has an ability? It doesn't say " Don't apply Weakness and Resistance to the Benched Pokémon".
  • Weakness Policy - Saved by the rotation!
  • Lycanroc -
  • Solrock/Lunatone - It doesn't say damage can still be moved.
  • FA of DayLyc and Bulu and Soph - How do we get it in English? DayLyc and Bulu are SM Promos.
  • XY new FAs - So, Mega Lu, Jolteon, Zygarde, and M-Manectric are promos in June, I assume the 2nd Mega Powers Box are Regirock, Aegislash, M-Camerupt, and M-Sharpedo. Now, do we have a chance to save Shaymin from rotation because of this sick looking SR card? How about the FA Supporters, especially Hex who is in the brink of rotation? How do we get these in the US?

This card will be HUGE for decks that run Garbodoar (because of float stone). I think its biggest play might be in Yveltal, becuase it really relies on tools such as float stones and fighting fury belts.

The weavile actually does say "Do not apply weakness and resistance for pokemon on the bench." If you look at the card, it is the section inside the [ ] .

In that case pair it with Ancient Origins Jolteon and give Weavile Wide Lens for some crazy fun. Too bad those two will rotate before that could be done... )=

Full art N look a greats
Secret rare yveltal ex and shaymin ex make me want to kill myself.
Salazzle gx looks pretty good
Karen and shauna FA are hot.
What's the translation for that one supporter dude next to the hyper rare lycanroc GX?

It's:
"You must discard 2 cards from your hand in order to play this card.

Draw 4 cards."

Is no one going to mention the full art zygarde, jolteon, manectric, and lucario coming in the box? This may mean we will get all the best of XY cards as promos if the Pokémon company is nice to us.

I'm trying not to mention it, since I've already dropped $100 for my Shaymins...
But the new art looks way too good.

I play the game in Japan, so I believe it is still up for a shot hehehehe. However, you do have to remember that you will only get 2 shots out of it, as jolteon will also be hit by the attack, as will any combination of the other 2. Still, might be fun to try it with a stage 1 gx deck, maybe lycanroc?
