Oh go cry me a river. You guys get worked up too easily over a little prank. I already said Phione wasn't in the set, too.
You know, only a little kid would pull something like that. If you wanted beach to get more respect, you wouldn't pull that crap. That wasn't funny.

Did you ever realize that this is just a game, and that there is much more to life than a blue piece of cardboard?WPM, I really lost a lot of respect for you today. I mean a lot. I am not sure you have any from me anymore. I defend you to people because I have met you and I have talked to you on occasion online. However, doing something like this is just very upsetting. I cant even put it into words that would be allowed on this forum about what I really think. I think that taking a card that will change the format and making a fake of it, isnt a great thing to do. I really think that this is why people get mad at you and have huge arguements with you. Dont expect me to defend or help you out for a while. :nonono:
On a side note, thanks Mike for letting us know about this, that was nice of you.
JMO,
Drew

How noble! The thing is, I didn't "build up" anything since nothing happened. Get over yourself. YOU guys destroyed everyone's hope by not even including Phione in the set in the first place, so I wouldn't even be talkin'.There's a reason that POP doesn't do anything silly on April Fool's day. We respect our community too much. We understand that there are people that take their hobby seriously, and that building up hope only to smash it down at a later point for our own entertainment isn't just cruel; it's rude.

Lets see, there's been a huge stink about the contents of GE. It has been a significant source of stress in the community in general. Speculation about the number of "good" cards that are (or are not) in the set has been going on for nearly a month.
All of this, and you decide to pull a prank, using one of the most hotly contested/desired cards that could be in the set, which players had full well resigned themselves to thinking wouldn't be. Then, to ice that cake, your hoax assigns a card number to it that would mean it would be insanely difficult to obtain.
Gee, why do you think anyone would possibly get upset about this?
It's akin to POP stating that Gym Challenges will be back next year, and then, two days later, saying "Psych!" And then acting like jerks because the community "couldn't take a joke."

QFTWhy can't you just take a joke? I thought it was kind of funny. He didn't even post it on his website, ppl just went crazy over a random unofficial scan.
yep, real press does this too...NOTOh, so you DIDNT post the link on your forums under a diffeent name. And you DIDNT give the scan out to certain people so that people think its real?
Ok.
