A Pokemon Ambassador needn't be an employee, in the same way that winning a scholarship and championship doesn't make for a paid position. The Pokemon Ambassadorship can be along the same lines, a title that comes with a travel stipend. It could be used in conjunction with partnered travel with...

It needn't be a budget that drains the coffers, but a program that serves to increase Pokemon's profile and benefit the company's bottom line through promotion and stimulus of the product. OP is low profile compared to the collector's size of the pie, so there's scope for Pokemon Ambassadors to...

With Ness being in great demand around the world - I wondered whether it would be an idea to make official Ambassadorial positions available to successful players. Such players could draw from a budget allocated by POP to help pay travel and accommodation expenses while they promote the game...

A third reason not to buy loose boosters is that there's less chance of getting Ex, Level X and TSD type pulls if they've already been pulled by the seller, whose working on the likely amounts of those already pulled from a box, leaving the other boosters as likely low yielding, and to be sold...

Nice job on the article. I placed an authentic foil card in a bowl of water for a short time. It came apart in 2 sheets of equal weight. The middle dark line seen in an authentic card is likely the gluing compound used to keep these two layers together.

It looks like Australia are currently out of the POP Rewards loop. "Other countries may be added to this list as POP deems appropriate in the future. " - sounds promising....

Wesley MUST come back.... The Borg MUST encounter Tribbles.... There MUST be a quest for some kind of Ring.... Then all will be well.

So, PUI are a branch of PUSA. right? Apart from the budget, I wonder how much input PUSA has on how POP is run? Or do they let PUI have a lot of autonomy with the occasional intervention?

The information about Cities for Australia should be announced shortly. The initial steps have been discussed on the limited access TO forums on Croftminster and I've had direct confirmation through PUI that Croftminster have responded to them and have ordered the prize support for CCs and...

How about Mew?

How about Celebi?

The Greco-Roman ancients had gods, demigods, and all sort of animistic "elementals", or nature spirits. And in that respective order was represented the hierarchy of non-human powers. I think it's fine to say that Kami are related to the lowest rung - the nature spirits. However, a traditional...

"You can use this Power once" does not equal "Once during your turn". The second point, as Rainbowgym says, is most clear. "Opponent's turn ends" before which Electrode is attached as an energy to another of your Pokemon in play. The "Once during your turn" direction on the English card...

Mathematicians ... well, that's interesting. A huge contributor of language change is slurring vowels to make pronunciation easier. This is known as economy, a technical word for "laziness". Laziness could well be a facilitating factor that helps explain the dropping of the "not" in couldn't...

Oh, it is permissible, with or without the sarcasm. It's a colloquial expression that some who prefer the unchanged version dislike, even though such expressions abound in the language where the original meaning is lost or inverted in some way, but no longer questioned as it's become so...
