Broken Pokemon EX

I really never see any weird bending with holos or reverse in the B&W block. Yea all of the HGSS block RHs bent horribly, but I never have seen anything weird with the holos since. And with that line of logic you could argue that all the EXes should be nonholo too, but I'm sure you wouldn't be very excited over that.Non-holo cards are actually better for players as they don't bend retardedly.
Exactly. The Reshiram/Zekrom theme decks hit the nail on the head perfectly by using the standard "line" holo pattern. Or alternatively I wouldn't mind it so much if they treated these theme decks the way they did the first B&W theme decks where the main card had the cracked glass pattern, but it's set version still was a normal holo.I don't mind at all if Hydreigon and Garchomp will be non-holos, as long as the theme deck use the regular holo-effect. I mean, if I gonna pull lots of regular rares I would love it to be Hydreigon and Garchomp and not some really lame card that doesn't even deseve to be a rare :/
I just sorta wish I could work at TPCi for a day to see these decision making processes. Like who thinks "hmmm you know what, we should totally make all of these great looking holo cards into nonholos when we print them for non-japanese territories. People think that looks so much better!"
