Recently we got a peek at the cards in the newly released Japanese set, SM2. I’m sure most of you have seen at least a few of these by now, but a brand new set warrants another look. I will include a few in the article here from various Twitter posts and if you’d like to see them all, there will be a video at the bottom of the article that has everything else that has been released.
We don’t know what exactly this will mean for the next English set just yet. If we have everything that’s been released in our English set, we would have over 35 Ultra Rares, Full Arts, or Secret Rares. That just sounds outrageous. But only time will tell. I’ll be sure to keep you guys updated as we get news about English releases.
First off, we have the Wishiwashi GX/Full Art. The first card of Wishiwashi we have in its School Form.
Next up, we have a Secret Rare Fighting Energy. The Metal and Psychic Energy Secret Rares from Sun and Moon Base Set are really holding up price-wise so it’s nice to see TPCI continuing the trend. We also have a Secret Rare Lightning Energy in the set. We saw a Secret Rare Double Colorless Energy and Grass Energy in SM1+ which we still have not had in English. So potentially 4 Secret Rare Energies for the English SM2?
So what do you guys think about the new cards? Are you excited to own them for yourself? And what are your thoughts on the controversial amount of Secret Rares in the Sun and Moon sets so far?
I’m pretty pumped for the new set. I still have quite a few cards to get from the first set, but it’s all so cool!! lol
I have a lot to get But I still have Decidueye GX as my SM rarest
No GX Araquanid huh? Disappointing
Im mad too
Same
It clearly deserves one
It does
Fingers crossed for SM3! It’s a pretty popular pokemon. So it wouldn’t surprise me. Araquanid and Mudsdale are my predictions for SM3
Pretty sure that this is a hack, no? (rf) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d0287086bfaa3879ab9e519c74a2126e010120497c94d4ce50f7b1f608a881e2.jpg
Odds are, but it’s also hard to say for sure.
oh please shiny WITH timid, total hack
this is honestly the saddest excuse for a shiny, its like Magearna, exactly the same colour as the original

That Wishiwashi card is gorgeous :O
my usual stores don’t stock SM booster packs…
All of these cards are pretty damn good looking, I love the Alolan Ninetales and the Wishiwahi ones.
Agreed! Love those 2:D
I refuse to look I want all to be a suprise when I go to that pre-release… except Wishiwashi that I look forward to
I played Hackmons cup
Missed 8 moves in a row

Why did you wink?
What are you trying to say?
What do you know that I don’t?
I’m shook
IT’S YA BOI
YA BOI GUUUZZZMMMAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
UGH NO STOP!!! I have spent way too much money on pokemon cards in my life already, please stop making such beautiful cards so my wallet will stop crying. Thanks
i never pay for Pokemon cards,
Yes, we know you steal them, ian
yeah and i stole a pack of pokemon cards before.
ooooo you should see the briefcase i use to store all the repeats
it’s overflowing
Never stolen a pack I have thousands of cards… Yet my rarest
The original secret BW Pikachu that I pulled in a random egg pack (the one that gave a promo of Pansage, Axew, or Pidove if you got one)
mine would have to be that Rhyperior card
http://assets.pokemon.com/assets/cms2/img/cards/web/XY1/XY1_EN_62.png
or it least it was….it fell off my desk and i accidentally wheeled over it with my chair totally ruining it
….thats your rarest card?
look i just collect them, anything from BW to mid XY
I just collect holographic cards and put them in national dex order
ok but thats your rarest card? because this is a perfect example of Karma in action lol, dats what you get for stealing them
screw that i have a whole bunch of replacements and that Excadrill EX, that Rhyperior was just a personal favorite
oh and a shiny Pawniard
this is probably my “favourite” card that I have, not including my binder specifically for fairy cards (I have a hell of a lot of them) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4bb400b659a0da00a1e0d9e1b14b1f623042ecd1f9cf94ed26ab4c800198772a.jpg
ewwwwwww
earthen please I don’t need to know how you react when you look in the mirror
I look at the mirror and i remind myself that i’m a towering virile powerhouse of unyielding slaughter
bugs don’t really count
i don’t follow
slaughtering bugs, does not make you a towering powerhouse of unyielding slaughter
i mean might as well call em bugs since i punk noobs every morning
thats the cringiest thing I think you’ve ever said
ok I’m done being rude now, its kinda boring these days tbh
whatever floats your boat
usually water
you sure not hot air?
I mean maybe, the air around me must be super hot because so am I

*breath in*
BOIANCY!!
I took science, but I wanted to put it into terms Earthen would understand.
(im jk he’s pretty smart, even if he says dumb shit sometimes)
Jesus, Fae when’s dinner? Are you ever going to be done roasting Earthen?
I mean, I brutalized someone earleir
maybe someday when the fairies are done with his burnt corpse.
That was dark, but they were angry at him giving them death threats so much
Dumb shit ehh?
i too pwn teh n00bs
every morning Splatoon, Showdown and PVP
Cheer’s loves
*Glass clink*
OMG I LOVE THIS ONE
I got a pack of cards from Dave and Busters and got this card from it. I was in the middle of a mall trying not to freak out
LOL I was out in the woods at an old church when I opened it, I was freaking out screaming at how cute it was and my friend told me that it was akin to me having a gambling addiction
I love this smile, reminds me of Mona Lisa for some reason
sassy pink mona lisa
This is gorgeoussss
D:
Haha that sucks for you
These are soooo worth it imo. At least the value is sticking around with GX being a new thing haha
I like the Olivia one
OK food for thought, why is it that so far all the crazy people I see on twitter hide behind weird anime avatars? I honestly get spooked now when I see them pop up because I’m expecting them to say something either bigoted or overly obscene. Heres hoping I find some nice normal people with anime avatars soon to break the stigma
I’m pretty sure there are people like that in YouTube too…
oh trust me I know. Recent video game “events” that we won’t bring up again on here have brought them out in full force
They’re going to dominate the internet. We’re already doomed
so many jokes I could make, so many things I could say, but ill leave that to your imagination LOL
Two words.
Gamer Gate
tbh thats actually the hashtag people are using right now
oh god no I thought it was dead
some days I wish I was too.
(im kidding, that was poor taste)
fae nuuuuu
self-depricating jokes are a thing I make a lot, it reminds me that once I was weak and had a lot of issues but now I’m strong and don’t give a shit, so I can finally make fun of myself like that and not have people threaten to put my in the psych ward
Sometimes I made self-deprecating jokes but people weren’t sure if I was joking and neither did I so I stopped .-.
I’m a fucking savage! Jesus!
I’m interested in what happened
So some person online, one of my friends, was in a relationship… Her dickweed of a boy friend had two girlfriends… one besides her… and it was clear she wasn’t okay with it, okay?
Okay
When she broke up with him after a while, he acted like a total idiot , and I decided to…put him in his place
How you did that?
Quite literally
1. I first started by questioning if she meant anything to him, and questioned the relationship in general
2. I asked him to prove that he would “change” and tell me literally why what he did was wrong
3. I began to take a bit more of an aggressive tone by telling him the kind of scum he was
4. I literally spelled out “You’re a piece of shit” for him
5. I finished him off by making him guess my “seven letter word for him”
(Blocked was the word)
i have newfound respect for you
Awwh! Thanks!!!
My personal favorite moment is when he guesssed the word bullshit and I replied with
“Nope! That’s eight letters! We learned how to count in preschool!”
That was perfect
Yeah!!
I’m all nice and bubbly till you fuck with the people I care for
slay them fuckbois
Why have I never seen this card! This is the card that I need in my life!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5cf14f93dd976ad017f8111f605d72a35fa921c838b9af81af76b625a8535512.jpg
Speaking about cards, I found a card with a very weird attack name https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b26ba7257e54902a4e3ffb9bc6117e4f808d29eb37095b0849eae83c4950995f.jpg
everybody explode now
(Struggling to hold back from making an insensitive joke)
I have that one, idk why I never paid attention to the attack name LOL
I found a weirder one
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6e87008cc726d28dd3afd0cdc652a55aa7be67c967639cdb1db4632fb421fe4f.jpg
… i have this one too O_O
i always liked some of those card attacks,
THIS IS ODDLY SIMILAR https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8864548f2fa5ce57831cd300f515fc0c208e3c4e77360692d4ac51df1ea49e63.png
Those attacks look like they came from a poorly dubbed anime
CORKSCREW SMASH
CORKSCREW CRASH IS A Z MOVE AND A LUCARIO USES IT
QUICK, EVERYBODY EXPLODE NOW ITS THE ONLY WAY
It’s like modern day… never mind

You first >:)
ALLUAKBAR *forretress explodes*
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Pikmin 2 is coming to eShop tomorra
normally i’d be all over that if i haven’t played pikmin to death
Switch or Wii U?
Wii U sadsly
we need VC to hit the Switch, i haven’t played in 2 days
BUHTT that Snake pass looks interesting and i might pick that up after payday…and my mother’s birthday which is the 1st…..and i have no idea what to get her
Exactly the same as my foster mother, we’re getting her an Air Fryer lol. Shit’s expensive for what is literally hot air.
i hate to admit that i’m the worst for buying gifts for people,
It’s not shameful if it’s already painfully true…
i never really know what to get people, my family is so hard to shop for
i just don’t want to look like a lazy unthoughtful cheapskate
I have a brother who never tells me and my family what he wants, I can relate… His birthday is coming up on April 2nd too. So don’t feel bad big guy, we’ve all been where you are at one point.
Anyone want a Bagon breedject? I have a box full of them. They’re Jolly nature and they all have at least 3IVS
did everyone die?
Yes
Must be that Forretress that blew everyone up.
yeah but i was surfi’n the internet waves.
Well now that I’ve finished the divine beasts I’ll type my thoughts on them breifly because the world needs to know my every opinion.
Vah Medoh and Vah Rudania’s prebattle fights were really dissapointing. Vah Medoh’s was literally just pressing X to paraglide whenever and aiming with arrows. It didn’t have the cool lighting and moving effect that Naboris did or the ice and waterfall aspects that Ruta did. It really felt like it was meant to be done first. And Rudania’s was just a puzzle. I was hoping for some cool mine cart ride thing around death mountain but nope, a guardian puzzle. And WOW, Thunderblight Ganon is really really deadly.
Look at the recovered memories list. The order for the Champion’s memories is shows that the order “should” be: Medoh, Rudania, Naboris, Ruto. And yes I agree, Naboris was by far the most challenging. I tackled it third, after having done Ruto and Rudania, and even with the powers I got, it was still very had. I can’t dodge & flurry rush for the life of me lol
So me and a friend had two ideas (I had them, she verified their beauty)
1. Reading a script for a Caribou docmentary in a sexual voice, moaning the word Caribou whenever I say it
2. Fitnessgram Pacer Test anime
We really need a Nintendo Direct next week…things are really, really slow right now. I know they have a lot planned for E3 which is in just a matter of weeks, but we deserve some news about Virtual Console, Arms, and other new features on the way. Speaking of E3, I sense a 99.9% probability of Animal Crossing…
And smash don’t forget smash
Yeah that’s nearly 100% too. I still think that might come out this year.
December…..2017
OH MY FUCKING GOD WHY THAT LATE THO??
yeah i HOPE IT DOES if it doesn’t i’m not getting a shitch.
That’s pretty fucking selfish
WELL SSOOORRRRYYY MR. EARTHEN.
think of it like this, when a game you want comes on the switch, you wont get to play it
yeah but I DON’T REALLY WANT THE SWITCH BECAUSE IT’S LIKE 85% TABLET SCREEN.
Uhhhh you know there’s a tv mode dumbass
the tablet is for on the go
yeah but I’M NOT USED TO TABLETS WITH CONTROLLERS PASTED ON THEIR SIDES.
neither am i but i’m learning, and y’don’t have to have the controls attached to the side
yeah i keep forgetting about the alt mode of a x-box-like controller.
There are like 5 ways to control this thing
ohh….i didn’t know that part cool.
… do you even know what this system is?
what are you getting at?
You never even use it like a tablet. You control it like a game pad, or like an xbox controller, or like a mini wiimote or with a pro-controller. Plus you don’t even have to use the screen because you can dock it and just use a controller
ohh……man i guess inexperience with some consoles got me all riled up.
you sound like you’ve never seen the damn thing, have you been living under a rock or in Canada?
“what the FUCK is a SONIC?”
heh soncic is a dragon with one huge beefy arm

Nintendoland 2 Firework Display
“And before we go, I’d like to make one more special animal crossing announcement. We at Nintendo have decided to make Animal Crossing Newleaf the last entry in the Animal Crossing series. Look forward to new updates to the game that feature amiibo compatibility. Looks like this game is here to stay. Forever.”
E3 Wish List:
2D Metroid
2D Metroid
2D Metroid
2D Metroid
2D Metroid
2D Metroid
Metroid prime perhaps? Even if it isn’t 2D it’s still gud
Never played but I love 2D Metroid so I want some of that.
Just hire the AM2R guys
N64/GC VR
Smash Switch
More info on Mario Odyssey
Animal Crossing Switch
paper mario Switch or even a new Mario & Luigi (even though its basically tainted)
some new IP
Mario Party 11
In your opinion, what was the last good Mario and Luigi game
Bowser’s Inside Story hands down
insane story
good battle system
amazing worlds (i’m a fan of endo levels)
Hmmmm , yeah that game was great
How did you feel toward dream team?
PAPER MARIO THAT HAS A STORY AGAIN!!! I loved the visuals and gameplay in the last few paper mario entries but they will never be as good as the original 3 because of their fantastic stories and copious amount of secrets
also Mother 3
Air Ride and Pokken 2
I have only ever really played like 2 metroid games, one of the GCN metroid prime games, and Other M with my ex. The prime game was great but both of us loved Other M a lot more, it was great.
Personally what I want for E3 is
ANIMAL CROSSING!!!!
and a portable zelda title similar in scale to ALBW, or another remake, I love remakes.
Pokemon Remake
MORE INFO ON THE LAST OF US PART 2
For them to tell us that a new zelda character will be coming to the switch SSB (pls no BOTW spoilers i haven’t played it)
More info on Mario Odessy
and tbh I don’t really care after that give me whatever, some of these are a given but some I doubt will happen, but god damn I need more info on the last of us part 2
My actual list
Pokemon D/P Remakes or Stars but… D/P Remakes
Metroid
Animal Crossing, hell yes
Mother 3
A new game
Spla2n Story Mode (i loved the first one’s campaign even if it was simple)
Smash Bros with MIDNA
isn’t midna an assist trophy though? I honestly was salty AF when they announced Girham as an assist trophy because I wanted him in the game so bad, at this point I don’t even care they could give me a bokoblin for all I care I just want another zelda character
Yes she was but so was Little Mac! So there is hope… even though she will probably be on Wolf Link so it doesnt even matter
Also R.I.P Club Penguin
The game that introduced me to the internet, penguins and making fucking terrible wordpress websites when I was like 8. Truly a masterpiece of gaming. You will be missed.
R.I.P Ktom1, my old account which got FUCKING DELETED YA ASSHOLES
oh well did it go down today?
Yep…
reminds me when Toontown and Lego Universe kicked the bucket (My brother cried a week when he lost it)
LEGO UNIVERSE OMG
what is lego universe?
The best game ever
i bet it was because i mighta liked it but too late now.
passing question, have you ever once considered trying wow?
um……no?
No, but it looks rad. I don’t know if i could invest time in it though. I have a backlog of games I want to play plus I want to start animation and I want to do more ROM hacking plus school so I’m busy enough ^.^
well it’s pretty fun (and addicting) i see you as a….
Hunter, Rogue or even a Druid
ohhh…. R.I.P 2005-2017 you will be missed but atleast those trolls are gone for good. 😉
the trolls kept it alive
yeah but they died with the site.
Eh, maybe they’ll try Animal Jam or something
yeah but when i tried to login it wanted to make sure i had parents permission but i’m 18!!!
also.. is webkinz still a thing? I remember I got into it when I was little because my cousins were in love with it but I bought three animals and they all died
my brother played it a little but now he’s a Dota man now
He’s grown up, huh
and a complete pain in my ass now
webkins is still up
Neopets though 🙁 It’s still around, but like….is it really?
I started working on a Guzma animation… kinda? Like I’m just sorta story boarding it right now on paper but I want to animate it for real.
ooh i bet it’ll be good.
idk if it will even get made lol. Maybe I’ll throw my weekend away working on it lol.
It’s like… after the events of Sun and Moon and Guzma is just chilling in the city on a bench just thinking then it starts raining and Golisopod comes out of the pokeball to cover him in the rain. He walks past the Malasada shop and Moon, Hau and some other people are there having fun and they drag him in and its just all cute
(SQUEE)
Some frames?

idk, i dont even know how im goona make this
oh well you can make it someday.
YA BOI
YYYAAAAS
Well it’s getting late, i’m gonna take a grunt, hit the sack and go to bed
i hope tomorrow it rains and i figure out what to do for my Mother’s birthday
https://images.halloweencostumes.com/media/13/baby-08.jpg
buy her this
do you know how much white babies cost nowadays? the limit is 130 bucks and if i do end up buying a child for 130 bucks its probably not gonna last long
I was just talking about the costume but a baby would be a nice surprise.
Yeah the clan doesn’t need another mouth to feed, the puppy is practically filling that role (and she was an absolute angel all day, she slept in-between my legs while on the couch all afternoon and didn’t destroy anything)
