Speculative Set List: BW Emerging Powers

*facepalm* I always get them confused. >.<

@Charizard: Not likely. Pokemon Catcher is 95, and Thunderus is 97. Recycle fits in that slot perfectly, and it looks like we're getting all the other Trainers from Black Collection and White Collection. The only way I can see them doing it is if they drop Bianca, and change Recycle's name to something A-O. (Also not likely, since people were mad enough about Catcher's name change.)

Because Bezrtic, Gothitelle, Catcher, Thundurus, Max Restore, etc. are definitely meh. :/ What do you want, another Stormfront?

Of all those cards you listed, only Catcher and Max Restore are particularly fantastic cards. The set really isn't looking to be that game changing (save for Catcher, of course).
 
Since it debuted in Red Collection, Conkeldurr is almost certainly going to be in our third BW set, not this one.
 
We don't know what a lot of these English-exclusive/recent BW-P Promo cards do, so I find it kind of hard to judge the set as a whole yet. Love the artwork though so far.

Yeah, this set is pretty bad. It makes me wish that promo cards in Japan just didnt exist - they always seem to junk up the sets that we get. Also, just saw the mewtwo EX this week, but at this rate we won't be playing with EX's til next year sometime. It's frustrating from a competitive player's point of view to see so few cards being released that will actually change the game. Also disheartening because my expectations of this set started with things like Chandelure and Archeops and ended with that trashy English-exclusive Scolipede.

That's true, but if cards like Scolipede and Krookodile are any indicator, I'm not expecting much at all.

I expect the EX cards to show up in our may set

Our Cities Set will most likely be half of Red collection, excluding Victini for the winter set with the release of the movie. The winter set having the rest of Red Collection, and the spring set starting the new EX era

If you're right about the EXs being released in May of next year, that'll put us a full 8 months behind Japan in terms of set releases. BW3 is coming out in a month in Japan. Have we been this behind before in sets being released? We still have Red Collection to release here and Japan's getting EX cards.

Keep in mind that red collection only has 66 cards (72 counting the Secrets). The last time we had a set that small was Neo Revelation. They will have to pull cards from somewhere. The 14 cards in the Battle theme deck: victini, and the lillipup left over from the Battle strength decks will only go so far, especially if all the victini are removed. If that's our November set, then Psycho Drive/Hail Blizzard and the EX cards will be here in the February set at the latest. They could mix them all together....

WOWOWOWOWOW

This set is so bad it's unreal.

It's not quite CoL bad, but the set is largely dispointing. At least we'll be getting meta defining trainers which will last us the next couple of years. In terms of pokémon there is only 3-4 I'd really like to pull with Tornadus being the main priority.
