Looks like Japan is serious about taking us back to base set days (Ok admn was not base set but it is for sure old school)

Per Pokebeach the New Supporter "N" has the exact same text as Rockets Administration "Both players shuffle their hands into their decks and draw as many cards as they have prizes left".

And the newl Bird Pokemon Archeops has Prehistoric Power ability. The assumption is that this will have the same effect as Fossil Aerodactyl whos Pokemonpower made it impossible to evolve any pokemon in play as long a Aerodactyl was in play.

This looks like thing are going to be very interesting this upcoming season.

Apparently the new fossil mechanic will exclude the fossil itself from countign towards evolution stage. Or mistranslation. Will be interesting to see.
 
Not to mention, we're also going to be getting a return of the EX cards. This is shaping up to be a very interesting setup for Pokemon if the various old school mechanics start coming back. I'll cringe if I see double rainbow energy get reprinted. >_<
 
YES!!!!!!!!! All I want now is my Legendary Acent Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres ex and I will have fun with the game again.
 
I can't make any sense out of why they'd come out with new EX cards and have them be a completely different mechanic than before. That just... does not compute. Different mechanics get different names.

That being said, I think they'll be the same as before.

That being said, my mind is blown.
