Well, at least it didn't take 3 years this time. I finished transcribing the new cards in the Rising Rivals TCG set, available May 20th, and added them to the DeckDex.
Rising Rivals is the first English TCG set to feature Gym Leaders' Pokemon since Gym Heroes/Gym Challenge, the first English set to feature the Elite Four's Pokemon ever, and the first TCG set in general to feature either since the Japanese-only Pokemon VS. I was actually rather disappointed to see that the cards of the new Rotom forms, a.k.a. the main reason I was waiting for this set, were made into a special rare holos that a lot of sellers will probably confuse for Super Rares, leading to inflated prices. Bummer. Still, many of the cards have nice art and are powerful in duels, so TCG fans don't have much to complain about.
Also, keep voting on PsyPoke Idol 2! Voting for each round is open for a week, so you have until Saturday night to vote for the current batch.
Some awesome looking cards are in this list... makes me want to buy some boosters when they're released. Too bad I need to watch my wallet for awhile. :(
