if we dont want rotation DON'T USE SABLEDONK! if no one runs it at BR we have a better chance of not how rotation meaning you can use them at nats and worlds
The fact that the Japanese are responsible for the creation of Pokémon is simply no basis to conform to the Japanese format.
Just saying.
Take the time to do better research, and try to find the best situation for your customers.
Because their rotations are kind of irregular?Why should we not conform to Japan? It's their game, they should know how best to design it. The only reason this entire early rotation hoopla exists is because we opted not to conform to their format. Japan designs the cards for Japan's format, not ours. We should match whenever it makes sense. At no time is that more clear than now.

It's very clear you don't understand how this works at all.
Japan creates the game. We just translate it. There is no "changing the game for our benefit". There is one game called Pokemon, and Japan controls it.
If Japan controls it, then why were we sitting in a Majestic Dawn-on format up until a decision now? When japan got B/W set they got the new rules and mid season rotation to HGSS-on. So they went through the same thing we are trying to do now.
Why are our sets a full 2 sets behind theirs? Red collection isn't out for them yet. They had a black set and a white set. We combined the 2 and released it as one, so we are only behind 15-20 cards they left out.
Why do our sets have different names? Pretty sure both sets for us and japan is called Black and White
Why do our sets have their promo cards as normal set cards? Who cares if it's a promo or in the set as long as you get it.
Exactly, they're not controlling it. They create/develop. They have next to nothing to do with our marketing, organized play, or the translations.
That's how it works. Japan creates the game. We translate what they have for our benefit. We adopt the game. We changed their Pocket Monsters into Pokemon, and TPCi controls it.

It is if they are the one that have control over the game
Hey, bro. You must have failed to consider Red Collection might have something in it to... you know, make your bad argument even worse.
U mad that I just gusted up and killed your basic? Guess you should have benched two of them, huh? Probably should play Twins in that Stage 2 deck of yours, too. It's easier to complain about a balanced game though, huh? We have things now in HGSS on that mitigates the effect of Catcher a bit. Like benching a Bouffalant. Do it. Kill the basic. Do it. Revenge KOs are cool.
Catcher isn't even out yet so we really shouldn't be complaining about it.
Pizza was made in Italy. Buffalo chicken pizza, however, is not an Italian original.
