Pearl-Ear was a welcome addition, but was quite narrow
It was all very enjoyable and interesting to read not to mention beautifully put together Always wonderful to learn more about this elusive set
It's no wonder, then, that the 2009 Japanese Design Promo 2nd Grade Winner Spikey-Eared Pichu card can fetch such a high price, with a Fanatics Collect auction reaching $25,800 in June 2023
In TCG2, many such promos are readily available from booster packs and / or available through in-game trades, and coming back to the question of localisation, I can see how not putting Pokmon TCG2 to market in the 1999s West may have been about expectations management as much as the finicky affair of locking down 100+ new card translations for play
