It was a fairly short Chat this week, but we're starting to get more trickles of information regarding the upcoming Legendary Collection
expansion.
Enjoy,

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #9 from
pojosamawannabe:
How do you guys feel about DMTM releasing 11 cards of LC on the boards...all
of us love it!
master_trainer_pat says, "That's just great!"
master_trainer_pat says, "What does he think he's doing scooping us on the
new set!"
master_trainer_pat says, "Oh, right. He's my boss."
master_trainer_pat says, "That's fine."
master_trainer_pat grins evilly.

JUN Flareon, TR Dark Stoise, TR Dark Vaporeon, TR The Boss's Way
master_trainer_pat says, "I can confirm all of those are in the set"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #32 from pikachu89:
The last three are Pokémon Breeder, Jungle set Flareon and Fossil set Gengar
for a total of 12! Can you reveal any more? ;)
master_trainer_mike says, "Nope!"
[CHRISBO says, But later on...]
master_trainer_pat says, "Here's another little hint about a card in the
Legendary Collection:"
darkmt_mike says, "Goody!"
master_trainer_pat says, "This Pokemon's name starts with M"
master_trainer_mike says, "Mike!"
master_trainer_pat says, "and ends with uk."
darkmt_mike says, "Mike!"
master_trainer_mike says, "Mikuk!"
darkmt_mike says, "Miuk?"
darkmt_mike says, "Minuk?"
darkmt_mike says, "Minkluk?"
darkmt_mike says, "Mukluk?"
darkmt_mike says, "Sorry I will stop now!"
master_trainer_mike says, "whew"
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #75 from
pojosamawannabe:
Is the MUk officially in the set, if so can I post it in the boards?
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #76 from michel1be:
Is that M**uk dark ?
darkmt_mike says, "To late. I was already there;)"
master_trainer_pat says, "Yes, Muk is officially in the set."
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #86 from soslowpoke:
Will Dark Golbat be in LC?
master_trainer_pat says, "Once again, sadly...no."
darkmt_mike says, "Breeder!"
master_trainer_pat says, "But the whole point of the Golbat/Crobat deck it
that each one does direct damage. The loss of Dark Golbat really hurts the
deck."
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #94 from
pojosamawannabe:
Is the no on Dark Golbat official? DMTM I'm posting this one!!!
master_trainer_pat says, "You can count on it!"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #51 from calathon:
will the LC cards reflect the new "Special Conditions" rule?
master_trainer_mike says, "Hopefully"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #47 from farbsman:
Can you confirm how many theme decks there will be for LC? Is there a new
starter set? A Team starter set?
master_trainer_mike says, "2 themes, no starter"
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #40 from pikachu89:
Do you know and can you reveal the names of the two theme decks? We were
told by DMTM that they have been changed, originally Magma & Storm.
master_trainer_pat says, "Joanie and Chachi"
master_trainer_mike says, "And they LOVE each other!!!!"
darkmt_mike says, "LOL"
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #79 from soslowpoke:
Ooooh will we get new coins in the LC theme decks? I'm getting kinda tired
of Lugia
master_trainer_pat says, "We have not seen the coins yet, sorry"
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #82 from soslowpoke:
Does Wizards plan on changing to the Japanese card back design anytime soon?
master_trainer_pat says, "Mo."
master_trainer_pat says, "I mean...No"
darkmt_mike says, "Mo?"
darkmt_mike says, "oh"
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #30 from
pojosamawannabe:
If LC isn't officially released by June 8th but some stores have it and
start selling it (its happened quite a few times with other TCGs and Pokemon
a few times)before, is it legal to play them in a GC/SC?
master_trainer_mike says, "Guys, there are no longer any official street
dates. Once the product is for sale, it is legal. This doesn't mean if you
buy the cards from some guys trunk though. We will be clear as it gets
closer to the Stadium whether they will be legal or not. At this time, they
are planned to be allowed."
PROMO CARDS:
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #73 from soslowpoke:
When will we find out whose Snorlax will be the art for the season 8 promo?
master_trainer_pat says, "It will be posted soon"
POKEMON LEAGUE:
master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #67 from farbsman:
Are we allowed to play longer than 5 weeks for a season at our leagues? I
run our league all year round and at the current 5 weeks we will be done in
October
master_trainer_pat says, "Sure, though anything you do on your own is
exactly that...there will be no support for the Leagues from WotC during
that time."
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #80 from farbsman:
Re answer of question #67 So does that mean if I run longer than 5 weeks I
can't hold the league? most of the kids right now only get the first side
filled before we change seasons
master_trainer_mike says, "What it means is that you are on your own. You
are no longer following the set plan and once the league officially ends in
October, it is over. No more supplies as the next newer programs will be
starting soon thereafter."
master_trainer_mike presents the speaker with question #85 from
team_europe_golduck:
My Leauge was at Season 4, Week 3. But our distributor said we were behind
the other Leagues and had to jump to Season 5, Week 1. Is this right? Many
players got frustrated and doubt they'll get all badges.
master_trainer_mike says, "Dunno, Europe is on their own schedule., They
may have done this to to get ready for the Year 3 league which I hear will
start in September in Europe."
