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?

THICK AND JUICYY
Foe sends out Crobat
I predict switch into Hydrigon (I was using Latias)
He uses u turn
Gets a crit, I have a sliver of health left
My prediction was right, I’m about to kill with Draco meteor
I fucking misss
NICE TURN
Beautiful
I love showdown
Getting a crit and having a miss in the same turn.
Truly the embodiment of bad luck.
On a 90 percent accuracy move that ended up costing me the game no less….
Oh and the following match, a choice specs starmie was the last mon against my last mon, a volcanion
It fucking freezes me
I hate volcanion so much…
rip .-.
Wait why did you switch into something weak to U-turn. Surely you knew crobat would’ve used that against latias xD
My painting in art is getting worse and worse. It’s like watching a car accident happen
oh NO!! it’s not too bad it’s just you need to do more art
Nah it’s bad.
OH REALLY MY ART WAS BAD FOR A WHILE TOO Y’KNOW
Doesn’t make mine any better
I’ve seen what you do its better than most things I’ve seen that are called art
When I did art school my art was like watching a car accident that already happened
I wonder what they will call the DP remakes… I always liked remake names. Heart gold and Soul Silver are really pretty names and Fire Red/Leaf Green are rad.
maybe like shiny diamond and opaque pearl
Dank Diamond and Poppin’ Pearl
Poppin pearl…
POPPIN PEAR
Pokémon apple and pear
Extra Diamond and Thicc Pearl
I was thinking Shining Diamond and Sparkling Pearl but I like these more
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl for the Nintendo Switch ™
Yellow Diamond and Her Pearl

I like Shooting Stars unironically
Did I just witnessed the greatest achievement of mankind?
HOW DOES THIS GUY ONLY HAVE FIVE SUBSCRIBERS?!
And why does the video only has 882 views instead of 10,000,000?
Exactly
yes, yes you did
Nice, now I have one more thing to do on my bucket list
– Make a bucket list
It’s magnificent
Crawled my way up to 1300 in UU in only seven battles, beating a 1400 at a point..
Knocked down to 1240 by six bullshit battles straight
You’re turning into Earthen
My influence is spreading
Not really, I’m just getting bullshit worse than normal XD
Nrrrrrrrrrr I have the whole morning off and decided to shiny hunt for a Grubbin but I just remembered that it’s boring and error prone
I have strep throat and the earliest doctor’s appointment I could schedule is on Monday. I want to die (more than usual)
Just want this thing just so I can stop
More then the trophy value
#swapbreedingmasterrace
Nahhh swap breeding sucks
Well it gets competitive shiny mons
I’ve gotten 5
I’m sorry I’m constantly complaining about my art and stuff. I wish I could just do it for fun. Now I just feel awful every time I draw something. 🙁
Maybe I just need to stop for a few weeks? Or maybe I need to keep drawing? Idk. I’m so tired of everything right now
If I show you my terrible art will you feel better about your’s?
Probably not
It’s boring, so I’ll just ask a general question…
What’s your favourite idea? Mine is being creative
Being dead
A strong structured idea that’s plausible but still holds plenty of uniqueness
Feel fantastic

Not being sad
One thing I really loved about Sinnoh was how big the region is during the main story. I liked how the routes were long to get to each gym, as it made the journey more memorable.
THE FUCKING GRUBBIN USED STRUGGLE THATS FUCKING THREE HOURS DOWN THE CRAPPER AAAAARRRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHGGH
You could have used the Recycle method uno?
The struggle is real
I’m applying for a position at the Bronx Zoo :O I’ve never been to New York though. (I also probably won’t get it, but might as well try!)
Imagine if when they do D/P remakes they use a live orchestra. Can you fucking imagine how awesome that would be!!?
Well I cried a bit during symphonic evolutions so if they did that I would have lots of trouble seeing the screen with tears in my eyes
Omg I’m so jealous! That must’ve been an awesome experience
It was! I wish I could go again! I remember when they were finishing off with the Pokémon theme they showed the Tobias battle for a second on the screen and I turned to my brother who was like 9 at the time and said omg that BASTARD
I feel so stupid that I didn’t go when it came to cincy! UGH! Stupid me.
And imagine if you could fight Arceus in game, and this is the music fighting it:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jiD1Yx9FQ8k
Woahhh this is really cool
Oh god this would be amazing
https://youtu.be/LXXB3535yWw
……My loins
Never understood the hype.
Played Banjo Kazooie and it felt like an typical 3D platformer, nothing special.
yeah like i get that’s it was popular but this game feels like the overexcited cousin of banjo-kazooie
Because that’s because it is you dumb
Yooka-Laylee is the spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie
Shun the nonbeliever
well then shun me then.
D: NOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I AM SO READY!!!! I saw it in EB games today and I’m like! ITS ALMOST HERE!!!!
Hi I have returned after soul searching for a day and unstressing myself
I choose a bad time to return apparently….
Hey, I hope you’re feeling fantastic 🙂
I do feel much better and my hopes came true I’m not failing any f my classes so I don’t lose all my electronics! 😀
They’re coming!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/75200b1cd90c33b0e82fd6897cca85dc65377b46740764ebcf3e9005ef819a28.jpg
yeah but i don’t want to play it tho
You bite your tongue! This game is will be the inspiration to bring back a forgotten era of 3D Platforming
Or be a huge dissapointment. Hey, I’m all for optimism but I was really hyped for this game…and then I saw footage
Well that’s your loss
Me, I’m gonna explore every inch of the game, and even stay longer if the music is catchy (which is galactically incapable since Kirkhope is doing it)
Ok who cares
I ws so sad JonTron isn’t voice acting anymore
I’m not, he can go live in his little corner of bigotry. Its not like Id really call it voice acting anyways, its really just grunts and sounds
http://i.imgur.com/psb7wNO.jpg
Seems like something that could actually happen lol
What they fail to understand is that it’s a freaking video game… They failed to understand it with Pokemon and Mario as well
WOW PETA JUST WOW
Frehhhhh bored…I yearn to Fakemon
Give me a type combo or a theme or creature and I’ll see what I come up with

Sooo watch ya think?

Did any of you watch DHMIS? If yes what do you think of it?
a little unsettling. The last one wasn’t that bad but the first through fifth were creepy
So in plant Overwatch and I’m just killing it with Ana then it fucking freezes. Like I probably got play of the game, I nano boosted someone, just healing left and right then it crashes for the first time ever
Well I heard something horrible for tomorrow some girl in my english class is gonna play a prank on her boyfriend by telling him she’s pregnant
I really wanted to get up and punch her in the face
I mean thats a bit too far for a prank
Psycho Bitch,
That’s not a prank, that’s just mean
IKR I hate that girl she’s such a b*tch
I know there are a lot of times in which I would punch someone in the face but can’t because that would be assault and that’s illegal.
Stupid laws protecting douches who need a good whuppin
Earthen and I agreeing on something, interesting.
Earthen isn’t a bad guy, he’s just difficult sometimes, i actually respect his guts to speak his mind.
This is so true
Difficult describes him so well.
Difficult is what the physicians will be saying when they try fixing you up
heh then PROVE IT TO ME
Yeah so many people just need a good Crack right in the face
What a piece of shit
But I did do the same to my girlfriend
Ayyyyy
XD
Exactly pretty much everyone excluding like 7 including me are low life ghetto kids
I overheard them with their critical papers (the paper that if you fail you fail that marking period) they all were laughing at getting averages of 55’s to 67’s I hope they are held back so I can be ridded of them
Oh deer, that is a Wailord of a lie… Maybe you can steer clear though and let nature take it’s course, i mean, he could break up with her if she is that bad, right? If it doesn’t work out though, be careful how you proceed, deer…
Yeah I do steer clear I hate her
Good move deer~ But keep your eyes peeled, maybe it might not end as badly as you think, if you can’t have faith, let nature run her over, it has a funny way of coming back, even if Lord Dialga takes his time.
Dialga shall take as long as he wants he is the King

Amon~
You have a right to be Outraged by that girl, I mean I’m already under a Confused Status by what she’s doing.
I am going to be so heart broken if Yooka Laylee is another Mighty Number 9… I highly doubt it because of the people behind it but.. Uhgg
Same here. I’m not one for being negative like this, but the footage honestly scares me a little. It just looks….empty.
That ice world looks too big. Banjo Kazooie worked because the maps were small, packed and memorable
don’t forget that you can expand the levels and there are 25 Pagies, 200 quills and a bunch of collectibles because that’s what the core of this game is, transversing giant colorful worlds collecting moves and items to get to the new areas and plenty of challenges and baddies getting in the way
But is there 900 Korok seeds?Only time will tell, I guess. We won’t have to wait much longer.
Every game in the universe has flaws, Deer. Even Breath of the wild isn’t perfect. But we have to take it at Face value and enjoy what we can. We could always look at how hard the team is actually trying, i like this team, they were my childhood heroes reassembled, so have a little good faith in them, failure or not, cuz they are trying hard for you~
*Smacks you clean across the face*
NO!!! GET THAT COMPARISON OUT OF YOUR PURDY LIL HEAD RIGHT NOW
Mighty #9 was tortuously mishandled, rushed and overly bad with it’s piss poor everything from story and gameplay
Yooka-Laylee is scores better due to a team of highly dedicated Rare veterans and greatly funded to glorious excess which can only be made better
I sure hope you’re right deer, but i have confidence you are here, you and i remember the golden era of 3d platformers well, this team will do it, we need faith in them~
I consider myself the Ambassador when it comes to BK/YL
And rightfully so, I’ve seen the golden Era of rare as a child, it’s pure genius~ That team was the only one doing DKC when the world was screaming Super Mario World, and they cranked out a good game for 3 straight years. then came Banjo Kazooie and the world finally saw them as an authority on 3d platformers, they changed the way we think about them and i have little doubt they still can blow out minds today~
At least I’m “purdy”
You can’t prematurely judge what the game will be like based on the staff. Sure, the odds are better, but you can’t already say that.
