Release of SM2 Brings Some Amazing Cards

by

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?

    • Can I ask you something?
      Why are you such a rude arrogant person? You are literally the epitome of mean people on smogon. Whenever someone talks about how smogon is filled with mean people who think they are the best, you are literally one of those mean people who think they are the best. You actually have a disgusting attitude to people you will only see for 5 minutes. Youre the worst case of hypocrisy. All you do is get mad at people for trying to win. You set the stereotype of rude people on smogon. You honestly disgust me.

  6. I have to say. Sinnoh is such a beautiful region! The pacing of it makes me take time and enjoy everything. Barry is such a beautifully fleshed out character. I just love whenever he bumps into me and threatens to sue me. Unique character/10. MT. Coronet is just an amazing place. You go through it numerous times, and all the paths confuse me just adds to massiveness of Sinnoh. The long journey from Coronet-Snowpoint City is a fun unique adventure describing how tough a travel can be. Sinnoh is easily the best region.

  7. So two things: First are the people who are watching the Pokemon anime Japanese dub liking the new season? Is it good? From the first couple of episodes I saw it seemed pretty decent, but the more I hear about how he’s STILL on MeleMele and STILL attending the school I’m getting a little nervous. The second thing is whether there has been an announcement for the English dub to start airing on Disney yet. I know it’s airing in Canada, but I ain’t Canadian so I can’t watch that way lol (gotta love grammar am I right? lol)

  8. So aside from the menagerie of dumbassedness of this false holiday, is anybody doing anything special today?
    Me, today is my Mother’s Birthday (and i think my Pug Beatrice’s as well but not 100% sure)

  10. I would want nothing more than a remake or continuation of the Sinnoh games, but sadly (or fortunately), GameFreak has become a blackbox nowadays so ANYTHING is possible.

    By the way, hi! 😀 xD

  11. So I got a fun challenge for you Showdown users for April Fools (it’s completely up to you if you want to do this):
    So go on the Random Pokemon Generator website, and do these steps:
    1) turn off NFE and Ubers option
    2) make it have the option to generate only one Pokemon
    3) choose your least favorite type as the type of Pokemon it will generate
    4) generate 6 different Pokemon (none of them must be legends, and must have at least one pre-evolution)

    Now that you’ve generated these 6, pick out their first stage evolutions. On Showdown, make a LC team using these Pokemon and do at least one battle with the team. Best of luck!
