Dragon Blade and Dragon Blast confirmed

well suprise, suprise! Pokebeach has now confirmed the names of the new split series featuring the new Dragon type pokemon, as well as images of the booster packs and 30 card theme decks featuring Hydreigon and everyones favourite dragon from last season... GARCHOMP!!!!

heres a quote from the site:
"Japan's fifth Black and White set will be released on March 16th and will be split into two sub-sets: Dragon Blade and Dragon Blast. As their names suggest, the Dragon-type will be featured again and Dragon-type Pokemon-EX will appear. Two 30-card decks will also be released alongside the sets featuring Hydreigon and Garchomp. 2012 is the year of the dragon, so it's no wonder Pokemon Card Laboratory is pumping up the Dragon-type!

On April 20th, a new "Beginning Set" will be released containing Pokemon from every region, unlike the previous Beginning Sets which were simply re-releases of the same cards. On the same day, two new Battle Strength Decks will also be released, though their contents are currently unknown. We'll bring you more information in the coming months once we have more specifics"



as you can see from the images a few more pokemon can be seen like Giratina, Rayquaza, Gyarados, Roserade, Manectric and Houndoom

The Garchomp on the first pack looks so much like Garchomp C. Roserade, Houndoom, Mincinno and Manectric seem a little...random, but I'm looking forward to this.

On another note, this set's Garchomp must HATE its family. It has so much to live up to. good grief

I notice a Giratina in the background...:smile:

My main man, Garchomp. Welcome back.

yeah those random non dragon types like Mincinno are part of the two 30 card theme decks. i think i forgot to mention that.
one deck has Hydreigon while the other deck has Garchomp (the second image)

HYDREIGON!!!!!! YAAAAAY. Finaly my boy gets the attention he deserves. Also IDK if you mentioned it but Dragon type EXs!!! AMAZING. My Hydreigon will be a contender I promise you that lol even if I am the only Hydrei player there is lol.

Haha kinda dropped the ball a, little bit didn't I lol

Why do the deck boxes and boosters say "Dummy" on it?

well some new information has just surfaced, regarding this new set.
first of all the release date! it will be March 16th 2012.
Second of all a new special energy will be released. Pokebeach have made a guess that it would be special dragon energy, regarding the nature of this set, but as we have no images or proof to go by, it could just be another random energy card.
and thirdly, when you buy a booster box from this set, you will get a Promo Ninetails. WHY? it dosn't make any sence. it should be one of the new awesome dragon types that would feature in the set!!! (I wonder if it'll be a brand new Ninetails or a re-print of HS/CoL)

OH and it just clocked over to Christmas DAY!!! so Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Oh the format right now is frighten. but garchomp is so delighten. and since we cant look back. let him snow, let him snow, let him snow

you better watch out, you better not cry, better not paut i'm telling you why, Garchomp is coming to town.

Dashing through the storm. in a one type format. o'er the cards we go. sighing all the way. *SIGH*

It's the most wonderful pokemon of the YEAR!!!!!!!!

P.S. i like garchomp. i miss garchomp. i'm happy garchomp is coming home.
P.S.S. i swear if pokemon corp. messes him up!!!!

You & me both. But even if he becomes a garbage card, I'll still play with him.

Seriously, it is unlikely that Garchomp will be a Garchomp C LV.X replacement. It will be stage 2, and it loses some of it's playability. Also, it may not be good at all. I prefer Hydreigon, which could also go along with Hydreigon NVI due to it's ability, so you don't need extra energy.

We know. Everyone just loves Garchomp!

garchomp dragon rush for the win

New Dragon type? Yes Please!!

Dragonite and Salamence please :smile:

Rayquaza, Salamence, & Haxorus announced.

As expected, they are weak to each other. Their energy costs are multi-type so they are much harder to run. But Haxorus' 2nd attack...my God. Fliptini x Haxorus combo. But 140...meh.
