How about a reverse holo TV reporter? I know a lot of people that would go for that one.

Yeah but like i already said it'd have to look like it came from a Dragon EX pack, no black star no "promo", just the RH TV Reporters that didn't make it into the Dragon EX boosters.
 
Alright, since my "Incorporate other Nintendo franchises" idea went down the hole, here is a different idea, even though others already mentioned this one...

re-release some of the older Trainer cards from the WotC era.

and by older, I dont mean "Neo sets" older. I mean "Base Set through Rocket" old.
Maybe a few possibilities...
Lass w/ Supporter rule
Breeder w/ supporter rule
Trader w/ supporter rule
Imposter Oak w/ supporter rule
Pluspower/Defender w/ Pokemon Tool rule
Revive o_O;

Pluspower is Strength Charm and Defender is buffer piece, Arthas. That happened a looong time ago. And Lass with Supporter rule would be nice. I'd pick that or Discovery Tyrouge with a one retreat cost and the old baby rule, smae HP same attack, just a one retreat.
 
How about Bubble Mew or any vending cards or those McDoneles card that the Japaness pass out
or Maybe the pokemon GameBoy Drangonite that you get from buying the gameboy it in Japan?
these are some of the promos.That I got in Japaness..Beside the McDanels ones,,
((sorry everyone about my Spelling or my Grammer...I know its bad =D))
 
i just thought of one. Why not some of the cards that never made it to the real card game, but made it to the GBC card game
 
I don't care what promos we get as long as they're new/REALLY old reprints. I stopped going to league after the Dragons prerelease, and only returned recently to learn whether or not we were getting city championships. I'd rather sit at home and play on apprentice than go to league, earn reprint promos, and play against players that can hardly beat mediocre eon decks with their ulimited ones.:nonono:
 
Why not release every single Japanese cards never printed in English? Including VS (it would make a cool draft set)....
 
Just a...word,if you haven`t sounded off in this thread and want a chance to let a...certain company know what you feel about this subject,then please,by all means,let your voice be heard and sound off!Or if you just want to continue giving more ideas,please feel free to do so! :)

Metal and Dark energy as promos were a bad idea. Making 4 different kinds of Bagon promos is a even worse idea. I cannot say that I am looking forward to Nintendo's next promo. Latios and Latias was nice. Pikachu and Meowth was awesome, and Groudon and Kyogre EX(holo) was really cool aswell. If I could pick any card to be the next promo given away, it would have to be a Jirachi promo. Make it holo, and it will be like the Mew promo that came out when WotC was giving out promos. We need some more holo promos anyways, because I see promos as rare collectables, not reprinted set cards.
 
Trainer: GOLDEN RULE:Stadium Card

usual stadium card text.

If a card contradicts a game rule the card wins.

I think the Dark/Metal Energys did make good promos though, a lot of the new players don't have those cards and they are rare. New Players look at the metal and dark types and pratically druel all over them. As for the Hoenn starters and their stage ones, I thought the new art looked nice. I really liked the promos and so do most of the others at the league I play.
 
I like a delecate mix. Wizards had it right. An occassional reprint, but mostly new cards. Reprints were generally Prerelease/W Stamped or whatever, though a few where Promo Star. League promo's should always be new cards though... reprinting should be saved for other stuff.

Metal/Dark is a double edged sword. For players like me and most on this board, we barely care. I was thrilled to have holo Darkness (finally), but underimpressed by the metal, having seen them in Genesis. Though many young players are hapy to get these cards, having none to not many of each, most of us have an abundance of them (having released them in Gen, Exp, AQ, and R/S so far).

Unown R (in old pre E-card format preferably) is the top of my list. Wizards screw up to not make this cards has a lot of us POed we cannot finish an Unown set.

7-11 japaneese promos, well the ones we havent seen. There are still 5-6, including Whismur, Groudon (non EX), Lodicolo, Jirachi , and a couple of others.

Several unreleased EX's. The 3 Regi's, Armoldo, and others.

There are others, but those are my top 3 (well top 10+ really...)
 
The old Mr Mime would be interesting. Not game breaking but definately playable.
Base Charizard could be brought back too.
I'd like to see some of the earlier lightning resistant fighters come back too.

Lass maybe,
genesis pichu.

there are lots of old cards that could be reintroduced safely. Maybe we need a LC2!
 
LC2 would be fine, but guess what we'd be getting at the next sanctioned tournament as prize support. :rolleyes:

Anyway, what I like to see in a promo card is something that adds to the game. Like a card that makes decent support in some decks (and is original; see examples), or a card that could have a fun (probably non-competitive) deck built around it.

This is what I DO NOT want to see.

Mewtwo 80HP
(P)(C)Psychic 20+
(P)(C)(C)smack attack 50

This is the type of thing I DO want to see.

Mewtwo 80HP
(P)Energy replenish
flip a coin if heads shuffle up to 3 (P) energy cards from your discard pile into your deck
(P)(C)(C)Hand manipulation 10+
You and your opponent each reveal your hands. This attack does 10 damage plus 20 more damage times the number of supporters in your opponent's hand. Then, this attack does 10 less damage for each supporter in your hand.

The first one may be good, but if all the promos were like that it would be boring. Some should be like that, but I think more promos should be like the latter.

JMO.

Well, on the topic of re-print picture change promos, I can safely say my friends and I agree it's a waste of cardboard. I'd like to see either the Japanese McDonald Promos, the Vs2 set, or the god foresaken Vending Series!
 
here would be a good one. Even though I made this for the CAC forums, I think it would still be a good idea:

Scizor ex
100 HP - Stage 1 (Evolves from Scyther and Scyther ex)*
(M)

(Pokemon-ex rule)

Poke-Body: Metal Aura- If Scizor ex is your Active Pokemon, prevent any damage done to your benched pokemon that are (M).

(M)(C)(C) Guard Slash - Flip a coin. If heads, any damage done to Scizor ex is reduced by 20 during your opponent's next turn (any other effects of attack still happen). 40

Weakness: (R)
Resistance: (G)
Retreat: (C)(C)

* This star represents a new type of evolution, where this specific Pokemon may evolve from its Pokemon-ex pre-evolution or its normal pre-evolution.
