Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus revealed from “Black Bolt” and “White Flare!”

They are actually not genies, even if even commentators in VGC tournaments call them like that -_- They are Japanese kami, Tornadus is the divinity Fûjin, while Thundurus is Raijin. It is weird that pokémon that Japanese were first introduced in Unova, but then in Legends Arceus we got to confirm that they are indeed avatars of nature representing each of the four stations, with Enamorus being the one for spring, and Cogita tells the player that even when they spend a lot of time in Hisui (currently Sinnô), which is based in Hokkaidô, Japan, they like to roam the entire world, and that explains their presense in Unova.

Sorry for double post, but that was already clear in gen. 5. People just chose to ignore that. It’s their whole stick in design and the way you obtain them.
 
Base Art Thundurus vs Art Rare Landorus can you spot the difference? I'm glad the set will have all the legendaries/mythicals be bulk bin cards, just waiting on Genesect and Meloetta. Genesect could do some cool stuff with the disks as tools, but considering they've never done that for Genesect (looking at you Sylvally) probably not this time. Hell they might pull an Ogerpon and make each form its own card. Meloetta also has multiple forms I guess so maybe we could get different cards for her as well. Beyond that yay more Zoroark eventually revealed :DD

i love the concept of "generational sets" but they must do it in some logic
I would really like the next generation after the 151, to be NEO of course.
But...I also understand it from a marketing perspective, Switch 2 just came out, there's a new generation around the corner, they have to keep the good stuff in case it doesn't work.(and as the last 2 generations looked in their first years, it's a wise decision)

TPC can play the gen 1 card anytime they want. It feels weird that there isn't any tie in to gen 5 outside of the cards. We're almost at 13 and 15 years since the gen 5 games, meaning an entire generation or two of kids have never been to Unova. They'll do bad remakes for the 15th anniversary of DP. I think we all know that a BW remake would probably be too faithful to the originals like BDSP were, but the amount of content added in BW2 compared to Platinum gives me a little hope that some kind of balance could be struck should there be gen 5 remakes.
 
I never liked the faces of any of these 3. But the Landorus AR art is nice, except for Landorus' face.
 
These arts rule. They're not connected, sure, but they are posed up and will look awesome next to each other in a binder. This set is going to be generational, and hopefully the average genwunner's hatred for these muscular men (but they like machamp?) results in these ARs being dirt cheap
