This thread is a joke imo, it isnt because the set need DP era cards and it certianly isnt POP/PUI fault. I know for a fact, that Mike and all of the people at POP/PUI know exactly what the players want, but are usually handcuffed by what PCL and Japan will let them release. Trust me, they try very hard to get us stuff we want, but a lot of times that is were they are denied what they really want. I would think Mike and the rest of PUI/POP most likely expect reaction like this based on what has happened previously. They do a great job. Just see how much Pokemon has grown since PUI/POP took over and that should be all you need to know.

To be honest. POP/PUI is doing a great job.
It is when POP/PUI have to go through;
That makes them look bad.
It is not PUI/POP's fault that Australia keeps eating every single OP manager alive. Even if by chance they deserve it.
I get sick and tired of people here in OZ coming to be and saying "aww this is unfair why have we only just gotten the Worlds 2005 decks" and "why do we neva get events like BR and stuff" and all the like. I guess I would have to say this now.
The problem lies not with Croftminster, nor with the OP managers who for some reason seem to control distribution in the first place. The problem lies with the constant arguing and fighting, and the destruction of Leagues and Communities that is caused by it. Whilst they are busy mopping up the mess, they cannot get the stuff they need to done and boom. We miss out.
While sure, OP managers make mistakes. Or maybe they just do it because they hate the person. But deal with it. If you were stupid enough to get yourself INTO that position, then surely you can deal with it.
And in all honestly, I would be voting for POP/PUI to take over distribution and/or OP here in Australia. The disorganization and total bloodbath that OP and distribution in Australia is right now...Well...It is worse than it has ever been.
We are only just starting to get Mysterious Treasures right now.
But hey. Stuff happens. Whether or not it continues on like that or whether it gets fixed is another story.
Getting a bit more on topic now. I will agree with Drew entirely and completely. They
DO try, but most of the time to no avail. Just be thankful you actually get OP and Pokemon Cards at all. In some countries, in fact, alot of countries, do not get them at all. Boohoo if your favourite Holon Transiever or favourite Stadium does not get printed. You should at least realize that POP/PUI
TRIED.

Don't put words in people's mouths.
Steve did not mention bringing back format dominating cards like those two.
He mentioned cards that are very useful in some decks and would be welcomed back into Modified.
Personally, I was hoping for either Briney or Rainbow Energy. General utility cards like that are not at all like asking for Transceiver to come back.
I was not putting words in peoples mouths. And yeah I was hoping for Rainbow Energy to be honest. I was giving an example based on all the complaints I have been hearing. 4 out of every 5 complaints that I see or hear are about how Holon Transiever or Pidgeot or Dunsparnce should have been in POP6.
