Pfft! I don't believe the Pre-Release Riachu really exists. It has to be a legend brought about by people trying to mess with your minds...a huge consphirasy!
People see what they want to see. Yes, yes it's just a regular Riachu with glitter attached where the Pre-Release is supposed to be, or maybe a rogue Clefable dressed up to look like a Riachu. The lighting is bad it looks yellowish.
In any case ROUS's? I don't think they exist.

I'd like to quote BJJ763's quote: "We are not purposely trying to mess with your minds." - DMTM

You confirmed that they exist. What you never said was - how many and why. Maybe Dan Brown will write a book about it one day and we'll all know. I am still willing to trade my Pokemon musical jumbo promo Mew card available only in Canada for it. Last time you said no, maybe this time?

One more: Pineco (Neo Discovery).
They put in the 'Flip a coin,...' phrase twice!
The text is somewhat confusing.

That's not actually an error. You are to flip a coin twice. I forgot what it does but I do know the coin flip has to happen twice.

You're right, there is no Prerelease Riachu.

Prerelease Raichu, however...that's a whole other story. :wink: :biggrin:

Okay, here's the card text:

Burst (40) Flip a coin. If heads, Pineco does 40 damage to itself and 10 damage to each Pokemon on each player's Bench. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokemon.) Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing (not even damage).
Click to expand...

And here's what the old Compendium has to say:

Here's how it works. There are actually 2 flips! The attack does 40 damage [to the opponent]. Then flip a coin, if heads the attack ALSO does 40 damage to Pineco AND 10 damage to each benched Pokemon. Then flip another coin, if that second coin is tails, then this attack does NOTHING (not even the regular 40 damage). So there are three possible results:
First if both coins flips are tails, the attack does nothing.
If the first one is Heads, and the second is tails, this attack STILL does nothing!
If the first flip is tails and the second is heads, the attack does 40.
If the first is heads, and the second is heads, the attack does 40, and 40 to itself AND 10 to each benched Pokemon.

Phew!

Hmm, are you sure of that?

If it does exist it and it is a misprint...

Who knows what other errors are on the fabled "Raichu"?


Gotta love that tagline BJJ763! I'm honored.

Somebody should write a book!

Took me a while to notice but I see there's a fan of the Princess Bride here. "Rodents of unusual size," ...... funny, right after he said that, he was attacked by one. In mind's eye sees DMTM attacked by a rabid pre-release Raichu card .....

Ooops, this is supposed to be a children friendly site!

Sorry, I didn't know that...

Actually, I think you are correct that it is an error, it's just that they decided to "play it as printed" ranter than errata it.
From what I remember, the Japanese card was not as complicated.
 
Nice to see you again Mike...

In case anyone is wondering (dunno if anyone's mentioned it yet), the SS Marill without retreat cost seems to only appear in the US boxes. In all non-US boxes, the Marill HAS a retreat cost.

What about the non-US theme decks? I bought a theme deck box when the set came out and all of the Marills had no retreat cost.

Also, I'm almost absolutely certain there's no RH Marill with zero retreat. If there is, I'll buy it from you =P.

..Yes, I do remember the white Pineco...
 
Misprinted Winner Beldum

Would a promo "Winner" Beldum with the gold foil printed way too low, be considered a misprint? Not sure if it would be since it looks like the rollers on the machine just pulled it in too far. I also have not seen any others that look like this.

To describe:

The league "Winner" Beldum with the Poke-power Magnetic Call and is promo # 022 the "Winner" stamp is half on the picture and half where the text goes (the pokeball in the gold foil stamp is almost touching the l in magnetic call).

Ohhh... e-Reader news! (Which is great, considering that Nintendo now considers the e-Reader to be dead...) Two quick questions...

Marcello-Milord said:
That Lanturn doesn't have a Poké-Body, but have an empty Poké-Body symbol in it. So, it's useless :p If I recall correctly, only a few error Lanturn were found in the 1st print of Aquapolis, in both regual and RH version (I for myself have the RH one).
Click to expand...

Okay, so this Lanturn (AQ #20) was printed as both Reverse Holo and regular? I thought the error card was only printed as a Reverse Holo... If so, I need to seek me out a regular "error" version (and it just so happens that I have a RH error version to trade!).

Second... The Slakoth (RS #45) error (with the unbolded second "f" in "Off"). This was corrected? If so, which is more rare, the error or the corrected version? I apparently need a corrected copy. :(

Thanks...

I've posted it already. Second, the error was corrected.
 
InsertCreativeNameHere - before trading, we'd have to see scans first as this is the first time anyone has claimed that they have an American Rocket's Minefield Gym with the "2" on it. Sorry but even WotC said it has never been corrected.

Isn't the Neo Discovery Scizor an error with the wrong sign? "+" instead of "X" or something?

I've also heard of TRR ex pokemon with their name in grey instead of white.
I have a TRR Dark Electrode with a weird symbol by its weakness-it's like a twister shape thingy.

How can I forgot Scizor? :slaps my own face:

In my opinion, they decided to play according to the text because the TA's Crawdaunt has the same attack with different effect. Scizor plays Double Claw 20x but Crawdaunt play Double Claw 20+.
