Pokemon TCG's Black Bolt And White Flare Officially Revealed In Japan

There i🥀s so much to get excited about wit🌸h this expansion that it's hard to know where to begin.

In Japan, as is not uncommon, Black Bolt and White Flare will be split across two products. The expansion will feature all 156 Pokemon first introduced in Black and White's Unova region, with every single one getting a special card, either an Illustration Rare, or a Special Illustration Rare. This is alongside the common, uncommon,🐻 and rare cards, as well as any Trainer/Supporter cards they decide to include.

Most excitingly, Black Bolt and White Flare will introduce a new rarity type— the B🍌WR, presumably short for Black White Rare. It's this rarity type where the new expansion becomes a massive throwback to old sets.

It's been confirmed that the first two BWRs will be Full-Arܫt cards of Reshiram and Zekrom, a𝄹dorned in their black-and-white color scheme. These cards are modern throwbacks to the 2011 Black and White base set.

The expansion's standard holos are also a bit of a callback, with every card of that rarity having the horizon👍tal line holo pattern seen in the original Black and White era.

Alongside the Reshiram and Zekrom cards, The Pokemon Company has also revealed a stunning Victini promo with a similar pattern, and Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus Illustration Rares🍬.

In the Japanese versions of Black Bolt and White Flare, it's also been confirmed that there will be standard booster packs and expanded ones, which contain 35 cards for players to collecꦓt.

As somebody who has been collecting the Pokemon TCG since the original Black and White era, despite not actually being too hot on the games, this expansion excites me, and I'm looking forward to seeing what The Pokemon Company reveal﷽s for the English-language version.

I think it's probably time for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the rumored Black and White remakes now.
