Hmm, lets see. This set comes out next month, and our last set came out a month ago, seems to me that there is a VERY good chance that our next set could be this set. Now if this set was coming out a month before worlds, it would be different.
 
What else WOULD Emerald be? QCP or w/e was a mini-set that really had like barely 40 cards, if I remember correctly. I'm guessing these cards will either be the POP Series 2/3 cards or simply not made! Maybe they'll add the two together, idk, but there is a VERY VERY good chance these cards will be Emerald. It seems to me that EVERYONE thought the same until about a week or two ago when someone just muttered it, when in fact, I think it was just a random thought, based on absolutley NO evidence.

Kthx. =\

Hi folks,

Based on recent advertisements there also seems to be a Tyraniatr Ex and an Espeon Ex in this new set. So there is also hope that there will be a decent Umbreon too.
 
Is anybody able to make out what any of the newer cards seen on the internet auction say...? It'd be like, SUPER UBER AWESOME if the Espeon ex was, well, SUPER UBER AWESOME! That is, in comparison to it's lack-luster other evolutionary cousins of the sets prior... Well, the legal ones anyway...

Everyone knows that Neo Discovery Espeon and Umbreon were SOOO 1337!!!:wink:

And, on the whole 'what's Emerald REALLY gonna have in it' discussion, i think it'd be nice to see Gold/Silver be part of the new Emerald set! But, if it is, i hope to god there isn't/aren't any translational errors... God knows we need another 'Mantine/Ripples' thing to happen right before Regionals... >_____>

I can only imagine...
PUI: 'It's the day before Regionals, so everyone knows what that means... *Insert card*'s Poke-Power/Body actually SHOULD say this, '...'! Which means, of course, that this card now SUCKS, causing you all to have to change your entire stratiges the day before Regionals... Have a nice day!:wink:'
Distraught Player: *slams head on his computer desk repeatedly*

^The above happened to me about three days before our CC, lol... Of course, i just went with the flow and changed the deck to D.Draggy, then won with it, lol... ANYWAYS, that's just my take on the matter. Either way, the set, or at least the next one, should be pretty kool! Personally, i don't care what set Emerald will be exactly...!

Is the pope a jew? That's obvious....... of course Gs, Ss isn't EX Emerald, that's not even a possibility.
 
Dom Jordan- WHAT WILL IT BE THEN?? You guys are all saying it won't be Emerald, but you won't tell what it WILL be? =\\\

EX: Emerald will be the set Typhlosion ex, Meganium ex, and Feraligatr ex. I can near guarantee it as the Japanese already have them. And we wanna keep up, at least mostly, don't we? Yes, I think we do.

So, yah. =///

So when are we gonna get QCP then??? We are behind and we probably wont catchup. I do think that Emerald will be QCP + Trainer kit+ other cards from GS (maybe).

I dunno. This is all a guess and it could go either way but im pretty sure its gonna be QCP since I think if the set were to have typh/fer/mega the set would be based around that.

This makes the whole thing even more rediculous as we wont have spoilers to test the new decks and we will have to rely on PR's to see the cards. For instance. I have my regionals 4 days after the release which doesnt give us much time to get the cards/test decks.
 
I know we're behind, but I thought the whole point of TRR being so close was that we were going to catch up with Japan. I personally think that, since the set Typho/Meg/Gatr are in is already in Japan, we will get that and maybe QCP, the new cards that are in it that aren't reprints (b/c I think there are some reprints in QCP, could be wrong though). QCP was liek 30 cards, we usually have 100+ cards per set. 70+ cards is A LOT of cards to make up. If you can show me 70+ new cards that we could get, maybe I'll start to listen..

TRR had nothing to do with catching up! The only reason for the similar time release with TRR is because EX Deoxys was put back a few months to coincide with the Destiny Deoxys movie. So the two releases were switched.

Emerald Tin and QCP = more cards than ADV2, so its not too small to make the basis of a set.

We're not a billion sets behind anymore. There's no cards for us to "add in" so we can get the set up to 100+ cards. Except cards from G/S of course. Also, ADV2 was like 60 cards. Not a lot. =\

Also, I'm not recieving an answer to my question: since Japan already has the set with Typho/Mega/Gatr, what's going to happen? Will the Jpn just not be allowed to play that set AGAIN? I think that's asking a lot of them.

Also, TRR was for catching up, I do believe. I mean, I think I even remember someone fron Nintendo saying we were trying to catch up. But I could be wrong..

There is also the fact that EX:Emerald could consist of all the cards every one's listed such as:
-Emerald Tin
-QCP
- and Golden Sky Silvery Sea

Now this would do a few things that could cause some chaos. First we would totally be caught up card wise with Japan except for a few things that we'll never see like vending cards. This would also mean the set would have quite a lot of EX's. To solve this the distrubution of EX's could go back to the way it was done in the first three EX sets. There is also another alternitive.

The other alternitive is that half decks could be printed in the U.S. like in Japan allowing players to get a hold of these cards, but the cards would not be holo so Nintendo doesn't lose money. Nintendo could also release QCP as something to the side yet not as holos.

But, also consider this. EX:Emerald will have more than just the Emerald Tin cards and the QPC cards considering that QPC is mostly filled with reprints that people will never even use. There is also another thing that Nintendo does not consider much which is the players.

The main problem with EX:Emerald is that it is released only a few days before Regionals. That would mean only the people with the money who can get boxes the day before can get a hold of cards that can make a differeance in who wins. This has happened before when Hidden Ledgens was released only one or two weeks before Nationals. This time is different though. No longer do you have pre-releases where you can win a box. Now the most packs you can get is 10 which would mean you'd have to have a lot of money and have time to travel to enough pre-releases. The only way to make this fair would be to not allow EX:Emerald at Regionals which is very much unlikely.

Just my $0.02

In terms of cards to add, I was thinking future cards. The cards added to make Sandstorm were from two sets on in Japan, ADV EX1 (MvA).

Also, I'm not recieving an answer to my question: since Japan already has the set with Typho/Mega/Gatr, what's going to happen? Will the Jpn just not be allowed to play that set AGAIN? I think that's asking a lot of them.

I don't see why not..... loads of countries have different sets released different times, its just that Worlds is played in US Modified.

TRR was definately about the Destiny Deoxys movie. EX Deoxys was released all around North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand everywhere in early 2005, even in countries that are only up to like MvA or HL so far. This was only the reason why we got TRR 3 months early - so EX Deoxys didn't come out too early because the gap between movie release between Japan and the US is longer than TCG release.

How could it be about catching up when all it was was a switch around time-wise with EX Deoxys. Wanting to catch up is not the point, the fact is the rest of the world gets sets after Japan, and TRR is not a valid counter argument to that because other countries got EX Deoxys EARLIER than other sets, just to coincide with the US release, and they are still waiting for TRR.
 
The only problem with releasing cards that even Japan hasn't got yet is that even more players can't determine what will the cards do. And with the set being released so close to Regionls the people with all the cards that are good from the new set will be able to have an upper hand since not everyone will have pre-ordered a box or have gone to a few pre-releases.

To keep this topic on track I really like these new cards since all three will have an impact like no other set of starter evolutions has had before. Overnight I see all three becoming very strong Tier 1 and Tier 2 decks.

this ALSO applies to the GBA games, remember how FRLG was released at Worlds, lil before the GBA games? EX: Emerald is about Rayquazza and the other legendaries (Kyogre, Groudon, Deoxys) so that explains why the propaganda for this set are the legendaries and not the 3 starters like everyone would think so, it's not EX: Gold & Silver, it's EX: Emerald so having the 3 Jhoto starters as propaganda doesn't make ANY sense to promote the GBA game too AND it is also meant to include the Jhoto Pokemon not previously availbale other than Colloseum, this set is named EX: Emerald because it will be a near simultaneous release with the GBA game, and therefore will include Emerald themed Pokemons, such as the Legendaries (which will OBV be new EX forms of Rayquazza, Kyogre, Groudon and Deoxys) along with Jhoto Pokemon (Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Meganium, Tyranitar, Espeon) and 2 more ex's to bring the total to 11 as said in the teaser's. IT makes NO SENSE whatsoever to have QCP as EX: Emerald solely because what does Camerupt, Milotic, Dusclops, Raichu, Cacturne and Medicham have to do AT ALL with the GBA game Emerald? so to me it's PRETTY OBVIOUS that EX: Emerald will be Gs Ss like for the Japanese + *maybe* the gift box cards, but that also is kinda 'eh' because we never got any _____'s cards other than Pikachu. so How do you fit THOSE in as well? And how can you say that PUI doesn't want us to catch up with JApans releases? We get sets every 3 months, they get them every 4 months, if we don't get QCP this year before Worlds (or GS SS in the extreme case which I HIGLY doubt), next year by Worlds we WILL be caught up witht he japanese, and if Worlds is trully to be meant a WORLDS event, how can you say that PUI/TPC don't want the most simultaneous releases possible, watch next year PUI releasing cards every 4 months rather, or TPC releasing sets every 3 months (prolly the latter is less of an option). but yeah those are the reason why EX: Emerald WONT be QCP + whatever, it'll be Gs Ss FOR SURE + *maybe* QCP and *maybe* the gift box cards. I can guarantee what I said above is the most likely scenario in terms of EX: Emerald.

EDIT: oooo and EX: R&S was ALSO released fairly close to the GBA games if I remember well. So there you go, EX: Emerald = Golden Sky, Silver Sea for us.

Why Espeon? I mean, Gs, Ss will have a fair few EXs, just because we know about Espeon, Tyranitar and Scizor doesn't mean there won't be others, as there will.

Explain this then: EX Emerald has no Shinings (fact), GsSs will have Shinings (Apparently Lugia and Ho-oh and maybe one other). And as for the _____'s cards - there are none of those in the gift box! The Groudon and Kyogre are not the new _____'s Groudon and _______'s Kyogre, they are different cards.

Also there isn't a new EX form of Rayquaza! The one in the Emerald tin is a reprint of the Dragon one.....
