Question of the Day Suggestions?

Welcome to the Question of the Day Suggestions?

The Question of the Day is a way to facilitate community discussion to help members ponder the unanswered questions of the world that are somehow relating to the hobby. Questions are many times open ended and up to interpretation.

In the interest of helping answer the unanswered, suggestions for the QotD can be happily submitted or discussed here. Anything from future questions to question format or complaints. No guarantee anything will be done but I will try crowdsourcing the answers from members of the community for datamining swoobots You.

If you could magically make a set get reprinted into oblivion, which set would you choose and why?

Any language, any print run(yes even 1st edition), but only one set, not across all languages. Choose wisely!

Or maybe also- you have the power to make one card have 1 Billion copies get printed, which card do you choose? Any language, any print run, anything goes. Which card, and why?

pokemon company chooses you to make a new type, what type is it, and does it change any existing pokemon’s typing? EXPLAIN YOURSELF!

After the criticism their gimmicks of making the pokemon scaled up %500(gigamax) and giving them big hats(terastalize), they seek your help to make a new gimmick what is it?

You can send one message back in time to yourself, but it can only be a message that is pokemon card related because reasons, what is the message, and what date do you send the message to yourself?

You have the magical power to make everyone lose interest in and actively dislike a single card, but it only lasts for 1 year, then the spell wears off. What card do you choose?

You gain the abilities and attributes of the flavor text from a pokemon card, which is it?

If you could go back in time and be a Japanese man working for the original pokemon card game development team, and then you get sucked back in time back into your normal body, what would you do to influence a change in the core fundementals of the card game? And yes you get the all the abilities of a normal japanese man circa 1995, no need to worry about language, you will understand japanese and have the ability to read and write and know social etiquette.

What fake, rumor, or myth in pokemon would you make real if you could? Something like mew being under the truck, or a fake leaked pokemon that you actually think looks cool, like literally any fake final evolution for litten being better than the furry bait we got.
