No, but they have to do SOMETHING to compensate for the early release of X and Y. Like Frost said, we'd get our last Black and White set AFTER X and Y come out in the US if things go like they usually go, and from a marketing standpoint that's a bad idea. You really want the X and Y cards to come out at the same time, so people who are excited about the new games also are excited about the new cards based on the new games. They really have to do something to avoid an awkward situation here.

It'd be funny/scary if they just pulled a WOTC circa 2002-2003 and crammed two Japanese sets into our last two BW sets. Plasma Freeze suddenly becomes Spiral Force, Thunder Knuckle, a bunch of side releases and half of Megalo Cannon! August set becomes half of Megalo Cannon, BW10's two subsets (if applicable) and a bunch more side releases! Everyone's faces melt under the power of 250+ card sets!!

Of course, we are also assuming a certain amount of business savvy that the TCG doesn't always demonstrate. It is hard to believe any adequate sized/shaped/priced Pokémon product lacks TCG promotional cards. I don't know when Yu-Gi-Oh started loading video games with three promos in Japan, but they did it right away in the U.S. and trust me, it worked wonders for sales. >.> I remember buying three copies of some games right away, then selling two back right away to make sure I had playsets of the promos.
While I don't care for super-exclusive promos only available with a big purchase (even if it is pretty much the smallest of "big" purchases like a video game), as long as they are still selling physical copies of games I am puzzled by the lack of this in Pokémon. I think they did it once with the "Pokemon Trading Card Game" video game for the Game Boy Color from... what, 1999? 2000?
