(They have the same backs as the Pokemon Card Game: XY / XY: BREAK series so they can be played together.)>The set includes 1 random deck (60 cards), 32 damage counters, 2 markers, 1 coin, and an instruction book. The cards are random. Due to the nature of a constructed deck, it will contain some duplicate cards.Neat, although I do feel bad for those who genuinely wanted a Base Set reprint (with some alterations).
>>24922412I don't know, I'd be mad as hell if we got another playable promo that's exclusive to an invite-only tourament.
>>24922424>They are the ones bloating the sets.Because they see cards released in certain Japanese decks to be part of the main set, even if they're aren't advertised as such.
And if the Raichu and Noivern theme decks we got for BREAKthrough, they might also see 'em as decent theme deck fodder.
>Releasing the same boring old EX boxes over and over again.Those are technically for collectors, the possibility of them containing competitive cards is just a bonus.
>0 creativity with card/promo releases outside of Japan.And you can blame that on TPCi having to focus on every country barring Japan and South Korea.
