Why Espeon? I mean, Gs, Ss will have a fair few EXs, just because we know about Espeon, Tyranitar and Scizor doesn't mean there won't be others, as there will.

Explain this then: EX Emerald has no Shinings (fact), GsSs will have Shinings (Apparently Lugia and Ho-oh and maybe one other). And as for the _____'s cards - there are none of those in the gift box! The Groudon and Kyogre are not the new _____'s Groudon and _______'s Kyogre, they are different cards.

Also there isn't a new EX form of Rayquaza! The one in the Emerald tin is a reprint of the Dragon one.....

ok first, I never said there wouldnt be others, I just said it'll be the 4 legendary's new ex forms OR shinings + those ex's already known, which represent VERY WELL a set named EX: Emerald, also the no shinings part, they maybe just didn't add them in the teaser since they'll be secret cards, that IS a possibility, and yah the gift box Ground/Kyogre/Rayquazza are just TOO Pathetice to be promoting a set with such weak cards! and finally I didn't say the gift box Rayquazza was a new form of Rayquazza anywhere, I don't get what you're saying there, what I mean is we will see a WHOLE NEW Rayquazza ex or * in EX: Emerald, most likely ex, which MAKES sense because GBA Emerald's main pokemon is Rayquazza, so even tho there's already another Rayquazza or whatever practically eveyr set, since Ray represents GBA Emerald, they will make a totally new one, not *just* make a crappy reprint of one already available and promote a set with that, how's that gonna be good for sales?
 
vincent - what is the numbering on the deck cards? xx/?? Are the decks static, or 'random' cards (like FotL)??

Thanks!

[edit]Just got to the fire deck scans - and see they are three different expansion/set symbols, so I'm guessing they are three seperate mini-deck/mini-sets like usual! **happy**[/edit]

Mmm, go Pablo!

Rofl @ Martin. ;x

Aaand now..
In terms of cards to add, I was thinking future cards. The cards added to make Sandstorm were from two sets on in Japan, ADV EX1 (MvA).

Umm, what new cards? GS/SS? Ooooh, right, those cards WON'T be in Emerald as you say. So what new cards are you talking about? Mm.

Pablo brought up some GREAT points with the video games and such. And where di it say there would be no Shining Pokemon? I'm intrigued.

Who's Pablo? Mudkip? If so, well yes those are all very good points and all very valid....... but they have nothing to do with EX Emerald being Gs, Ss. As for new EX forms of Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza...... third ones? Seriously? Well, ok, but..... well, yes lets wait and see I think is the best idea because I don't think that would happen - but of course that isn't backed up by any proof but then again there's no proof that there will be so not much can be argued about there.

No I said it won't be the basis of EX Emerald..... I think there's a fair chance a handful may be thrown in, and also maybe some cards from the NEXT Japanese set.

As for the video game thing, that was never in doubt. Of course EX Emerald is being released now because of the video game.

*maybe* the gift box cards, but that also is kinda 'eh' because we never got any _____'s cards other than Pikachu
That's what I meant was off about the ______'s point.

IT makes NO SENSE whatsoever to have QCP as EX: Emerald solely because what does Camerupt, Milotic, Dusclops, Raichu, Cacturne and Medicham have to do AT ALL with the GBA game Emerald?
So? Just because they are the EX doesn't mean much...... I mean, EX are random in most sets. What the EX are doesn't mean everything. Furthermore, they are all Pokémon present in Emerald version.

We get sets every 3 months, they get them every 4 months,
That's not true....... They get them every 3 months, but effectively "skipped" one that would've been released in January - the QCP. Which was not effectively a set, but served as a pseudoset. Aside from that,

July = Crash of The Green Sky
October = Attack of Team Rocket
January = n/a
April = Golden Sky, Silver Sea

Then looking at our sets......
August = EX FRLG (4 months after Japanese FRLG (FotL)).
November = EX Team Rocket Returns (Switch with EX Deoxys, and therefore 4 months after Japanese Deoxys instead of TRR)
February = EX Deoxys (Switch with EX TRR, and therefore 4 months after Japanese TRR instead of Deoxys)
May = EX Emerald, effectively the "n/a" (4 months after Japanese n/a, effectively QCP)
August = <Gs, Ss> (4 months after Japanese Gs, Ss)

We get our sets 4 months after Japan - The Deoxys scenario just confuses some people, but treat it as if they hadn't been reversed (because that's effectively an alternate scenario to this one). Gs, Ss is just the next set, there's nothing unusual going on here at all...... EX Emerald is one set, GsSs comes out just before it in Japan and then it'll come out here just after the next Japanese set, and that'll come out just before said Japanese set comes out in English.....

EX Emerald being Gs, Ss breaks the mould....... if it is to be EX Emerald, the ball's in your court to prove why and how, because the default is that it isn't.

yah I do see your points, and I also think mine are valid, such weak cards as the gift box IMO compared to all other sets wouldn't represent a new set, if it is QCP + Gift box I'd have to say then we will get new cards that the japanese wont have, but on the other hand we don't know Gs Ss completely, and it could very well have those 4 cards new ones, so I guess when the japanese have their prerelease or at most by april 8th (japanese release date for Gs Ss we will know) if there ARE new Rayquazza/Groudon/Kyogre/Deoxys cards in Gs Ss I think that'll mean I was right, IF there aren't any, I'd guess you were right about QCP + giftbox + whatever in EX: Emerald, which I think will discourage sales greatly cause it'll be a trully pathetic set, I wish someone form PUi could lead us in the right direction.

BTW who are you Sceptile6990? cause you seem to know me but I dunno you =P please do refresh my memory.
 
So, you are Pablo, right? I wasn't wrong there.....?

I agree to not make such a big thing about EX Emerald until GsSs is released, or even until EX Emerald itself is..... I just think its a bit of a "coincidence" a batch of cards comes out with no Shinings and then Shinings aren't mentioned on what's in the set in the teaser, and that it does mentioned a whole batch of cards that just happen to appear (in some form or other) in the Emerald tin. (Which itself depicts Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza and Speed Deoxys and was obviously the Japanese Emerald version TCG promotion..... instead of a set..... released 4 months or so before EX Emerald...... See above figure in case anyone is confused...... OMGOSH I said I would calm down but that tin SCREAMS EX Emerald.......). But then that comes back to the commercialism thing, which I know full well and understand what you mean by, of course the "stars" of Emerald version will be used to promote a set released in synchronicity with Emerald version.

But if commercialism becomes the be all and end all of the TCG, the release of Gs, Ss as the next set after EX Emerald could just be to promote some event to get Lugia and Ho-oh in FR/LG/Emerald on the GBA. Whilst remaining a massive selling point with the starters, and all those aformentioned others like Espeon ex. And also ADV2 had pretty much nothing useful aside from like Candy and GEX, and well QCP has TVR reprint and Milotic ex! There's a set for ya! As well as Holo basic energies which will probably be popular.

Well, w/e I say..... but even if EX Emerald has nothing good in it in terms of playability, it will definately still be a major selling point - there have been sucky sets in the past, and there are heaps of collectors out there.
 
WHy dont you all just stop argueing about what the next set is and be grateful that the ppl in PUI take the time to translate all these cards so a bunch of ppl can have fun eh?
 
Oh, I'm Ajay. KG (I cant say the whole sn on here) -__- on NEO and AIM

But also, I thnk we could see the big three from Johto this set. I just remembered that when we got TATM the big three from Hoenn were there and not the focus of the set. So it is likely that the name and art is simply to promote the new game along with a few throw in cards that suck but promote the game. Just my opinion.
