What about Emerald?

[Treecko]

and ex:deoxys??

[Kecleon Master]

Ex Deoxys will be authorized, not Ex Emerald. Don't ask me why, it's a weird decision from our distributor, Asmodée éditions...

Well, for the France Championship 2004, the authorized expansions set were Expedition : base set => Ex Sansdstorm : the Format did not includes Ex Dragon/Team Magma vs Team Aqua/Hidden Legends...

Can english players take part? or
Les joueurs anglais peuvent-ils prendre la partie?

[lev]

As i said somewhere else you definitly can take part in the tournament if you're a foreign player, but actually you can't win the trip. I would be pleased to see you in our Nationals anyway (but don't forget that Emerald will not be allowed when you build your deck...)!

[Kecleon Master]

Hum... I'm not sure that Ex Emerald expansion was released in Great Britain.

[Dom]

it was

[Kecleon Master]

Does it mean that American/Canadian and English/Irish are the same? I thought that english-language European countries depended on Europe planning and exportations, not American planning.

[Michel]

Since a couple of sets, the date of release of the new sets is the same Worldwide ... except in France :wink:

[Kecleon Master]

Hum... I don't think that countries like Netherlands, Spain, Italy and especially Germany, since they decided to traduce the cards, depend on the American planning for release their expansion sets.

[lev]

Actually what Michel means is that other European countries have Premier Events such as Pre-Release when a new US set is released. It's pretty common for those countries to sell US cards. In France you'll never see a shop selling US Pokémon cards, but I might be wrong for some shops in Paris... Anyway here in France we don't have any Pre-Release (with sealed deck and so on), and hardly we have CC and Nationals... :biggrin:

Sometimes I wish I were born in another country... France is... anyway... :rolleyes: :biggrin:
