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?












UM GUYS IS THIS SONIC??????

WOW
Man, helping people really is the greatest feeling in the world
ye boi
Just followed up today’s earlier events by ditching my hw to console somebody with a troubled life into accepting that it isn’t their fault
(Dabs)
That’s real rad, fam
My friend gave my other friend a note saying she didn’t want to be around her and called her a moody bitch and she was super upset and pissed about it but I low key kinda agreed so I’m a bad person woooo
Oh boi
😀 yay!
You’ve been gaming too much when you read hw as hardware and interpret console as your Switch and wonder for two minutes why anyone would do that until you get the real meaning. Good job! 🙂
Yayyyyy
And here’s another reason why you’re cool 😀
Awwwwhhhh!
Google is paying 97$ per hour! Work for few hours and have longer with friends & family! !mj371d:

Did it worked tho
She gave me a wtf face and moved on
OH WOW BEST REACTION EVER.
That’s a pretty much normal reaction xD

Just say you had diarrhoea, they can never blame you for that :P.
I ain’t gonna stoop dat low
Your team was rejected for the following reasons:
– Steelix-Mega is in OU, which is banned.
LOL OKAY SMOGON
(I know it’s gonna drop, but still)
My painting in art class looks like literal shit smeared on a peice of paper

Sm-sm-sm-smeaaaaaaaaaaaar that shit

<3
GF PLEASE JUST RELEASE MEGA AMPHAROS ALREADY!!! FRIGGIN HONCKROW KEEPS SWEEPING ME
I love how every loss in RU I’ve had was either bullshit, Mantine, or Honckrow
3 weeks until I’m buying a Switch
Right in time for Mario Kart!
Oh i didnt even know it releases in 3 weeks. Was just planning on getting BotW though
It releases in four, but that’s close enough. Certainly get BotW, but if you never had a Wii U MK8D will be a blast to play. It all depends on your budget :).
I have MK8
Then it might not be an immediate must buy. I’m buying it regardless, but that’s because I’m sending my Wii U on retirement.
12 days until Yooka-Laylee
I just hope my download code gets sent without a hassle (or the game gets boycotted for stupid reasons)
The people boycotting probably weren’t goona buy the game anyways from my experience
They’re just being total idiots
Unfortunately I might have to work that day, hopefully the midnight release is possible
I hope it’s good. I’m a bit cautious still, but I would never wish a game to be bad :).
I think it’s going to be ok, it has the potential to have plenty of sequels but don’t forget this is the first in the series
Me I’ll love it regardless
Extremely unlikely I just hope when people play it they’ll forget the stupid Jontron fiasco when they see the game is genuinely good (highly unlikely because people are asses but who cares I’m playing this game for myself not for anyone else)
Add gardevoir to the list of mons in RU that butt fuck me
We all want to fuck Gardevoir apparently
yeah like it’s like the NSFW pokemon or something.
Loool (rf) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/565a39baf1ad18a286d25dd8b9fbf45720fe54919e269954af8450251c4b3084.jpg
heh dumb bird you need more defence. heh
oh you no good bird
Just use capssss
Or give it it to moi
What’s your most anticipated:
– Announced Switch game?
– Unannounced Switch game?
– Announced other game?
– Unannounced other game?
For me it’s:
– Xenoblade 2
– Animal Crossing
– Persona 5 (Or DQXI if a game out next week doesn’t count)
– Cyberpunk 2077 (I’ll cheat and count this as unannounced)
Some new games
But I really want to see a return to games actually having some effort in
Mostly in the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi department since the last couple have been stagnant turds with hardly any effort story and gameplay wise
Also I’m yearning for a new Animal Crossing possibly on the Switch but one thing occurred to me, the lack of streetpass will restrict some connectivity capabilities I mean they can just shit out Animal Crossing new leaf II but the Switch iron is white hot and they need to keep striking
Lastly is Smash I yearn to smash and I want to see new characters along the lines of Inklings and Shovel Knight
I wonder if they could implement a StreetPass-like feature in a future update or so. Would be great.
Kinda hard, I mean how would they have the same scany friend code locator thingy if it’s not in the initial hardware
Streetpass just uses a protocol over Wifi similar to what is used when playing local multiplayer. They could make it something you have to active manually, but it’s technically possible. I don’t know if they want it though, they must have realised it’s underused in the west.
– Project Octopath
– Pokemon or Smash
– Nothing ATM
– FFV/FFVI Remake
I just want a Pokémon game
-Super Mario Odyssey (very hyped for it)
-Mother 3, even though 0% likely
-Injustice 2
-Pokemon DP remakes
What makes you think that DP remakes won’t be on Switch?
Dunno, I guess I should’ve put it on the unannounced Switch game considering each remake is on a different console than the other
-Xenoplade 2
– Final Fantasy 14(highly unlikely, but it has been mentioned and since the technical issues of the game have been an issue due to the NA servers and not the PS3, it does have a small chance of happening.)
-Persona 5 (give me my Waka Persona now plz)
– Pokemon DP remakes(lets be honest if they are remade they’ll likely be on the 3Ds since the engine already exists meaning it would be much cheaper to make right out of the gate, and the 3Ds does have the larger install base and is inherently cheaper to make games on so it’s the far more likely choice. That and pokemon doesn’t really work as a console game, which it would have to be in the switch by default.)
I’m bored so I decided to share my ideas for gyms in my slavic fakemon region here. It will look like that:
Type-Badge Name-Gym Leader Name (Gym Leader Name Orgin)
Electric-Innovation Badge-Hubolt (Hubert + Bolt)
Fairy-Candy Badge-Dulce (Sweet in Latin)
Grass-Tree Badge-Les (Forest in Czech)
Steel-Iron Badge-Svar (from the slavic god of ironsmiths Svarog)
Dragon-Epic Badge-Drakoslav (Dragon in Russian + slav (many slavic names end with slav) )
Fighting-Super Badge-Clark (Superman)
Flying-Wind Badge-Winda (Wind + a (most female slavic names end with a) )
Normal-Home Badge-Typica (Typical + same as Winda)
I’m very interested in the idea of a Normal type gym leader being the 8th one, its a very unique concept to have in gyms.
Mine are
Normal-Scholar badge-Caleb
Grass-Harvest Badge-Rusty
Electric-Bit Badge-Token
Psychic-Vision Badge-Clara
Fairy-Pixie Badge-Abbigale
Ghost-Somber Badge-Leopold
Dragon-Riot Badge-Eva
Fighting-Master Badge-Jayden
Son of the principal and a honor student
Farmer
Lazy arcade programer/proprietor
Mystic fortune teller
Spoiled heiress who bought gym leader titleship
Blind violinist
Amazon warrior queen
Martial arts master
The feels ;-;

I just want to know what are your fakemon game names? My are Summer and Winter
mine would be dark obsidian and ocean turquoise
Until I get the rights so far
Opal/Peridot and Amethyst
With the theme being nature vs pollution
Mine are going to be Amber and Chrome
Rad Red
Bodacious Blue
I can’t tell, Is this a joke? (No offence if it isn’t)
Sorta, Rad Red is my actual rom hack
I’m also thinking about a name for the third one. One Idea is Year, but Summer-Winter-Year sounds weird. Any ideas?
Equinox or Solstice
I’d say Solstice because there are Summer and Winter solstices
That sounds cool. I don’t know if it fits with my third legendary (a Warrior with two forms, one humanoid and second eagle-like) but I like it.
Yeah, just a suggestion 🙂
I saw fake logos for Asteroid and Comet.
I liked em
Thunder and Quake, I saw them somewhere but I don’t remember where
Kurusu
Oh yeah, I remember now :0
Pokemon Lux and Pokemon Nox
Pokemon Neon/some counterpart
Alright since we’re on fan games
Starters
Elite four
Champion
Grass-Elephant-Sproot
Fire-Lion Cub-Cubust
Water-amphibious Dolphin-Dottle
My Elite four are the reincarnations of ancient sages
Rock Ignir
Flying Soara
Water Brook
Fire Nova
And the Champion is named Freya, a wildlife conservationist who dedicated her life to saving Eyanu from destruction
She specializes in Grass but has a few others in her team but her main is called a Flormonious a Grass/Psychic type
Starters: A snake (fire-fire-fire/ghost), a bear (grass-grass-grass/rock) and an european water vole (water-water-water/fighting).
Elite four: Philip (Psychic), Heatin (Fire) and Freezin (Ice) (one is second and the other one is third depending on the version), Tatiana (Dark) and the champion is the defender of the region Slav, with the title “the Royal Defender”
Maybe rethink the fire and ice names….but the rest seem cool
I know they’re dumb I just couldn’t think of anything better. They’re supposed to be modern teen twins (fire one is a girl).
Don’t have starter names or anything, just concepts
-Grass-> Grass/Electric-> Grass/Electric (Based on the process of harvesting electricity from plants. Perhaps something to do with solar panels)
-Fire -> Fire/Fairy -> Fire/Fairy (Based on Red Panda)
-Water-> Water/Ice -> Water/Ice (Based on spider crab/other ocean dwelling crabs)
Elite Four:
-Fairy
-Electric
-Normal
-Ground
Champion: Trinity
Multi type trainer but don’t really have a team for her because I don’t have many fanmons. She’s a very religious trainer and has studied myths from all regions in order to understand the origins of life.
Oh and Villian Team Leader and backstory (anything to keep me out of work)
Rad Queen Star. Shitty self insert because I’m lazy
Elodie, leader of Team Reap
She was raised in a very privileged family. She’s tired of seeing all of the poor in the world and wants to distribute wealth by boosting the economy of the Onia region. She believes in putting wealth and people over pokemon and the environment.
The evil team is the nefarious Team Quake lead by Ilko
A powerful trainer who clawed his way to the top of the region only to be horribly denied title of Champion despite winning the match (some bs reason that his motives to be champion were deemed ruthless and unhonorable) in his outrage he vowed to bring Eyanu to its knees so it can recognize his power
Ergo form a team that will shake the foundation of the region
He plans to resurrect a monstrous Pokemon that layed waste to the region thousands of years ago
In the Summer version It’s Team Spring and it’s leader Mullein (specializes in Bug types).
She has a mental illness and she wants to create eternal spring to prevent bug types from dying and to make everyone happy (you too, even if against your will).
In the Winter version It’s Team Autumn with It’s leader Heliopsis (specializes in Ghost types)
He also has a mental illness and he wants to create eternal Autumn when necromancy and magic is the strongest. He could then bring back his loved
ones.
What ideas do you want to see in the 21st Pokemon Movie? My Pokemon ideas for the movie are:
Marshadow Lesser Forme (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
Marshadow Greater Forme (Pokemon Stars)
Cosmog
Cosmoem
Solgaleo
Lunala
Pokemon Stars 3rd Legendary (or 4th if you count Necrozma) that also evolves from Cosmoem
If you have any ideas for the 21st movie, let me know.
Ultra Beast Outbreak
Ultra Space is torn wide open and hundreds of Ultra Beasts pour into Alola and Lusamine is responsible, some heavy Lillie/Nihilego stuff, Ash befriending a Kartana, the Tapus fighting off Swarms of Ultra Beasts, and this idea that Lusamine summons a thousand Nihilego and fuses with them transforming her into a giant rampaging monster
As much as I hate the Ultra Beasts I feel they could at least do the movies some justice by being a better plot that the game deserved
Last little fan question
Legendary trios/ duos and supporting legends
What
Legendary pokes
What about them
Does your game endorse legends or not
Qwilfish
Lame, but I’d think you’d like Spuncture a Poison/Flying type I made
More like Spunk-ture
…
Not my best
Well its from Spine and Puncture it’s a floating porcupine fish that floats in the air due to poisonous gasses in its belly, and it has 2 foot like spikes all around its body to protect its soft rubbery body (and it can fire them like missiles strong enough to pierce through cars)
Gaiasis Grass/Flying Embodiment of nature’s purity, it can revive forests and jungles by scattering its petal like feathers and based on the bird of paradise
Toxigeddon Poison/Ground Embodiment of Nature’s destruction, a Pokemon born from tainted soil from the carelessness of humans, mindless and feral its footprints leave the land forever barren and lifeless
The Elemental Suit: Primal elemental Pokemon that make up the natural elements (and oddly resemble playing cards)
Infernhu Fire Tiger (Club)
Aquariart Water Fish (Heart)
Skyeeto Flying Eagle (Spade)
Eurthsa Rock Bear (Diamond)
Well so far, I have this:
Main Legend Trio (Also known as the Temporal trio)
Nadirth (Rock) – The living embodiment of the Pokemon world’s ancient past, created by the natural energies of a prehistoric earth. It battles with Zernimus that causes disruption among the natural timeline.
Zernimus (Steel/Electric) – The living embodiment of the Pokemon world’s forthcoming future, artificially created by futuristic human and alien technology. It battles with Nadirth that causes disruption among the natural timeline.
Equilistence (Ground/Psychic) – The mysterious third member created by a temporal anomaly, and is the living embodiment of the present. It will punish those who alter the course of the timeline by imprisioning them in a time loop for all eternity.
The Children of Xerneas
Baressence(Grass/Normal)- the being of Fertility, it can cause life and nature to exist in barren wastelands, spurring new life.
Resiphyr (Flying/Water)- The being of Purification, its purpose is to cleanse the polluted airs and waters through its healing abilities.
Delespirit (Ghost/Fairy)- The being of Soul, its purpose is to spiritually heal civilizations by helping them find inner balance and peace.
??? Unnamed legend trio, will be based on European folklore
??? Unnamed legend (it’s kinda like Heatran, it’s a single legend with no affiliation with any other legend)
Event legends:
Rikeren (Rock/Steel) – A mystical Pokemon that, according to myths, has powers to create rare minerals that are extremely valuable. It will, however, take anything mineral like for its own, which it doesn’t realize as stealing.
Myghtter (Fighting) – Selos’s powerful guardian, in ancient times it has fought countless enemies (such as UBs) in order to protect its region. It has been long honored as the region’s protector, and it is rumored to be in a slumber somewhere in the region…
We got out of school early due to some bad weather but it’s only a bit cloudy
Lucky…, I’m sitting my ass in the gross bathroom since I got no work but I can’t go in the break room
Make up a regional pikaclone
Mine is called Raichu
Hyjakk
Electric/Steel
Computer Mouse
It chews through electrical wires to siphon electricity, years of eating the copper in the wires made its skeletal structure metallic and conductive
THAT NAME IS CRINGY AS FUCK
But cool concept
Well what else could i call it
it is a complete pest to machinery
Something less cringy
then i need a name that means Electricity and chewing
something chu
Cause Chu is lightning, and chu sounds like chew
Here’s mine

Mines called voltorb
Game freak is taking so long to make a new game that we are doing it for them at this point
U do realize that sun and moon was released four months ago right, we’ll get some kinda teaser for the next installment by June if we’re lucky
I love this art :3
