I can believe in which I want to believe if it is true or not. There's no reason to make a big deal of what I think.

I'm not making a "big deal" of what you think. I'm making sure it isn't taken as point of fact. You're spreading mis-information based on your random idea.

It has ended now. Now mis-info was ever spread. Done end of story.

Except you were trying to spread your mis-info as truth. That's the issue people are having with it.

Was Mail From Bill that useful?

Have to correct you there; the Legendary Collection was pretty huge. It was designed to draft well, it was the first to have parallel holos, and it "brought back" cards that were no longer Modified Legal. As such it had a major impact and despite being a reprint set, sold out.
Base Set 2 came out because of the high demand for Pokémon cards, but between omitting some cards and the fact that by the time it released, the demand had dropped a bit (for players; collectors only wanted the originals anyway at the time so that demand was never there). Most of what I would have wanted out of Base Set 2, I got by biding my time and picking up Starter decks. You could build a good Haymaker if you picked up three or four copies of each starter (maybe less; this is off the top of my head).
Call of Legends... hopefully we all remember why that didn't turn out well.

Not in a format with Neo Genesis Cleffa, Bill, and Professor Elm. But in today's format? There's a chance.
Remember that all the discard-heavy cards (Computer Search and Itemfinder) were rotated, so there wasn't really a way to dump your hand. Moreover, evolution decks dominated the format, and that made it even harder to get your hand to a low size to use Mail from Bill. If Bicycle were printed, it would exist in a format where Darkrai EX/Landorus EX/Terrakion/Tornadus EX/etc. decks are played, and those decks can dump hand sizes to use Bicycle pretty easily.

FAs aren't the same as useful uncommon Items. FAs are "bling cards", and especially in this case they are of previously released Supporters, cards we could already play a version of; not the same thing as new Trainers. :frown:
No, but the format it was released into... what psychup2034 said, plus remember that Professor Elm prevented you from playing any other Trainers that turn, and but at seven cards people who wanted an Item (not that the term existed then) to play after a Supporter would often still risk Professor Elm.
Again, to elaborate on psychup's point, we have a format where you can "spam" Items for solid gain, and with mostly basic Pokemon decks that can get by on little Energy. In fact, thanks to Ditto they might start getting by with little effective Pokémon; you want to run a donk deck? Use Ditto to increase your Pokémon count; you can Transform the same turn you play it, you just can't Evolve (not an issue when you're dropping a Landorus EX).

I disagree Base Set 2 was fine with lots of collectors including myself, I attempt to collect as many of each unique Pokemon Card released in English as possible. So I bought up Base Set 2 and added it to my collection.
I was very happy when they stopped making First edition, I spent so much money that I did not really have at the time to purchase as many first edition stamped cards as I could, then I had to go back and repurchase the unlimited set when it came out so I could try and Catch them all.
I also have the Trading figure cards and I believe one of each of the Code cards for the online game. And I have an almost complete collection of every unique packs that has ever been released from base set to
today. Base set has 12 unique pack designs and I only have 7 of them and I am missing two first edition packs of Gym Heroes. Besides that my collection is complete including POP sets and Sample sets.
As bad as reprint sets are to play with, as a collector I have absolutely no issue with them

I was initially against buying Base Set 2 but then a few packs were bought for me. I then started buying them.
I was young back then and sorted my cards by pokemon, trainers, and energy. I also did not buy boxes of cards so my collection of trainers and holos was thinner. Base Set 2 helped fluff up my collection. Looking back at it, without base set 2, I wouldn't have gotten to 4 copies of several trainers.
JandPDS, what are the pack wrappers you are missing? It is unlikely I can help you because I did not keep as many wrappers back then, but if you and I both collect the wrappers someone else on here probably does too.

the end of that video said it. I realize I should have said "it looks like Bianca was cut" but I figured they knew what they were talking about. Maybe they just didn't open enough boxes.
Also, they do show a Bianca at the end of the video but it's in JPN.

I get the feeling they cut them for a mix of two reasons. One, so they stopped having to include cards all the way from Black and White in Theme Decks (think about it, the next format is likely going to be what, something like ND-on or DRX-on or something?) Plus this way they're still in format next year. Second, Plasma Gale doesn't contain many Trainers, and those that are in it aren't generic ones. The only thing that really surprises me is the fact we didn't get Virbank City Gym here, but I suspect it was held off so they could release two Stadiums at once. Given the reactions I've seen from Dragons Exalted's low Trainer count, it doesn't surprise me that they would want to bolster the next set's trainer lineup.
Next set after Dragons Exalted would be this set though.
Also, Virbank City Gym would have been released along with Asberta City Gym in this set.
