Promo for 2013 Worlds

[Otaku]

It's a nice card, but it's not a game-breaker, and there are readily-available cards (e. g. Royal Heal Serperior) that replicate the effect.

This, IMHO, is how a Worlds promo should be like.

I have to disagree, but hopefully in a manner that might change your mind.

Pokémon, like most TCGs, can be unpredictable. Whenever you release a card, that is a chance that something later can make it better or worse. Even when the odds are extremely low for an individual card, there are of course hundreds of cards released each year. Even narrowing it down to potentially useless promos, there are at least a dozen...

...so in the end, creating "safe" promos is all about re-releasing (or "previewing") a card. I think that is the best strategy. In this case, make it a holo or give it a foil stamp (and in either cases, exclusive artwork) and whether it is a new version of an older card or the first release of something we'll get in a set or two (or as a regular promo later), and we're golden.

That is not at all what I said. Please re-read my post and then maybe do a quick google search to look at images of the places I talked about.

Or if you're too lazy:

Vancouver Aquarium: http://www.destination360.com/conten...k-aquarium.jpg (Yes even the logo is inspired by aboriginal art)

TPCi obviously did their research. You didn't. End of story"

Breaking news: Native americans were in north america before the white europians

and the promo has nothing to do with this my point still stands. putting pokemon in something symbolic to real world thing is weird, and people (either pooka or jwittz not sure which) on streams have agreed it's controversial, yay I'm not alone!
