Pokemon fans delight! The next set, Emerging Powers, should be released on or around the 31st of this month, giving us one week before the release! What a great way to wrap up summer!

The set is to feature 96 new pokemon cards, all of which should be available on our eBay store. If there is one you want that isn’t posted yet, post here or send us an email. We will be happy to assist you!

Some of the pokemon from the Black & White series will be featured in this set – including audino, pansage, simisage, pansear, simisear, panpour, and simipour to name a few. New, unseen pokemon will also be in this set – including beartic, verizion, thundurous, and tornadous. New Trainer/Supporter cards Blanca, Charon, Pokemon Catcher, and Crushing Hammer are sure to bring new excitement into this already enjoyable game. (I know that sounded cheesy, I’m just so excited!)

Anyway, here is the complete list of cards available, as reported from PokeBeach.com

Hello again!

Last week was nothing short of amazing. The RTJ Hobbies crew really enjoyed the Obon Festival at the Mitsuwa Marketplace and Toy Con at Bridgeview. We will be there for the next exciting Toy Con as well! These two events really remind us that Summer is coming to an end, and that means school is going to start up again soon.

Theresa, head of the Pokemon department, knows that Back-to-School time brings about mixed feelings. When she goes back, she is eager to see all of her friends, and eager to start learning, but misses the freedom of the summer. So, when she suggested a 15% off sale to brighten the mood a bit, we started it with haste! Visit our eBay account (Click Shop to see how) to see all the fun things we put on sale! Remember, one good thing about going back to school and seeing all of your Pokepals again is seeing their new decks

As always, we will be posting up new pictures and videos throughout the week.

Hoping you had a great summer,

RTJHobbies
