I am beginning to wonder if Promo cards and Alternate art cards are going to be phased out in the Gift box sets that Pokémon releases to retail outlets.
In the past few months we have had two gift sets released with out a promo, but just the exact same card that was available in the set.
First there was the Psychic Metagross. It was out at the same time as the Gyrados, but the Gyrados was an alternate holofoil (the Rotom treatment form SV) while the Metagross was just the holo version that was released in the booster packs.
Now we have the Celibi "Prime" from Triumphant in a gift box. And it is not any different then the cards that came in the booster pack either.
So now that we have two booster boxes with featured cards that are not unique in any way.. Can we expect to get more gift boxes with normal set cards in the future as well? So are promos going to be gong away in the future?
