Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

2007-2008 Modified Format Announced! Major Changes!

I would love for Holon Transceiver to go away. Too hard of a card to get for too many people (specifically newcomers). In fact, If they don't reprint anymore of the Holon Engine, I'll be really glad. I used to think that the SS Dunsparce was a nuisance, but it's nowhere near as annoying as Transceiver/Mentor, especially with Holon Castform in the format.

No more MetaNite = :smile:
No more Banette ex = :smile:
No more Donkados = :smile:
No more Mew ex = :biggrin:

With the addition of Team Galactic's Bet, it's looking like next year's format will be much more well-balanced. I will miss a few cards though (such as Flygon ex LM).
 
No more Eevee.

I don't know what to think about this format. Major archtypes are gone (like Metanite), or took a big hit (like Destiny). I think that Infernape will become much more popular. I will have to start planning my next deck quickly.
 
You know what stinks? I just got my 4th Holon Transciever a few weeks ago, now I can't use them?


Ugly.
 
Its not even April fools's day so what gives. Maybe its the Blue Moon in June trick.

Is there anyone we can appeal this ruling to?

Wow. This was unexpected. x_x I would never have guessed that they'd cut so many expansions. Metanite and Banette are rotating out, but Raieggs is staying. Interesting ...

Wrong, POP 3 is in the format. :p
 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I JUST MANAGED TO GET 4 STUPID TRANSCEIVERS AND THEY DECIDED TO GET RID OF THEM!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

And then on their website they have some lame excuse about it being cheaper for new players. WRONG all this will do is skyrocket the value of other search cards. BAD move POP.:nonono::nonono::nonono:
