Update - 09/10/2020 - Grookey spotted online! Looks like (as predicted) that GAME will have one new promo available each month, on the run up to Christmas. Expect Scorbunny in November and Sobble in December (Pokedex order). No updates for Pikachu yet, the applications are still open.
Just checking, is this the first time ENGLAND specifically (not the UK as a whole) has received an exclusive card? I believe the Kraze Club Skitty was available across the whole country. I guess technically Meli’s Art Academy card was exclusive to England also haha!
I’m hoping to pick up a bunch of these tomorrow, fingers crossed! Shame the Pikachu will have a limited distribution only to those running the Futsul school/clubs.
Indeed. Futsul is also not super popular here compared to proper football (soccer). We got to hope each club gets like a pack of 10/40 promos each. Could end up being the rarest modern English Pikachu by far.
Wild. Going to put this on the long-term list… will be looking for contact info for those who wind up with Pikachus eventually, but man will it be difficult if they aren’t given out in any sort of bulk.
Slight tangent, but I noticed the illustrator is ‘The Pokémon Company Art Team’… Does anyone know any more about them, other than what’s on Bulbapedia?
They seem to have only done 9 cards (now 10), all of which are Eevees/Eeveelutions for some odd reason?
This is the first time I have ever heard the term ‘futsal’. Pretty weird when you know the sport, but always simply called it indoor football.
One of the most unexpected, random promo releases I can think of.
@nish,@professorstephen Yea good points, I guess it would be a missed opportunity to not include the Scorbunny as it evolves into Cinderace. Also the U.K Galar influence would make sense for English Promos.
