u listed all the bad things...
So is it hard for the new guy or is it easy?
If it's hard, then it's kind of like what you said -- all the person has to do is take the time to read up on the format a bit. But without the format change, the Holon Engine is still one of the hardest-to-get trainer sets ever. I'm glad you were able to stick around for a couple of months until you got the Holon Engine, but some people aren't so patient. If they're losing tournament after tournament not because of their Pokemon but their trainers, I can see their patience running very low. This is where money becomes a factor, and many people don't want to pull out the big bucks for uncommon trainers.
What peace? Everyone will be scrambling to get Scott and Castaway because Holon Engine is gone. DP2 might restore order to the world though. Good news is that everyone will probably have plenty of money to buy new cards with because they will have sold their old cards. Weird decks like DP2 Eteboth with DP2 Walrein.Peace...

We're taking the bullet here so they can make a quicker buck, it's simple. I was curious why the soon-to-be legal sets were becoming more expensive, while older sets, like Delta Species, stayed the same price. POP is basically going to force you to buy new cards and at a higher price. This is why the announcement was so sudden, to make sure that the average consumer panics and buys up lots of packs at jacked up prices before thinking things through.
The rules of this game should be the same everywhere, but they're not. You think it's bad here? Try Europe. I hear things are quite a cesspool over there when it comes to how well the players are treated. This is a huge step backward from where we were, and POG/POP is turning this game into another magic.
Make up all the excuses you want, Holon Engine this and that, it's all pish posh. Most of the new DP enabled decks MURDER the holon engine. Electanite was going to completely nullify decks like Raieggs.
This is just greed at it's most predictable and understandable level. That's ALL this is folks, is greed. I'll be seeing the rest of you on ebay, selling those cards we all bought like, 3 months ago, which are suddenly illegal already.
Personally, i'd laugh in the face of the guys at PUI/POP/etc. I could run their shady buisness better than they could, in a flash, doesn't take much more than a degree in marketing. :nonono: Shameful buisness is shameful buisness.
