Hey everyone! Been largely away from E4 since April ended but I’m finally back, ready to be active again, and extremely excited about the future of Pokémon!
I’m curious though, what is everybody the most excited for Pokémon-wise in the 2nd half of 2026? A new release? A collecting goal? I wanna hear what’s on your mind!
Besides Pitch Black now being out in the world, I’m most excited for the LEGEND card reprints in the 30th set.
I should have a nice check in the not so distant future that’ll make a welcomed dent in my PoSA upcharge buffer. Hoping for new record sales on specific Gen 3 cards to take us from Hoenn Homeowners to Hoenn Second Homeowners.
I am looking forward to Aura Seeker and getting back to collecting Z-A themed cards.
I’m still really hoping to see a Mega Victreebel card. Surely the next set after Delta Reign…
Surprisingly the Shining Celebi in the 30th set. The foil on those Neo era shining pokemon was unique, but could make it very hard to easily appreciate the art. The seemingly total inversion in the 30th set looks really nice.
Hoping the market starts to correct a little.
Groudon and Rayquaza and Kyogre (please please please a Kyogre finally) AR/SARs and the 30th set. If it’s anything like Celebrations I’m going to love it!
Getting closer to gen 10!
I am most excited for E4 Secret Santa 2026.
Me too, it could be an awesome trio
Groudon 
E4 events (secret santa, whatever lyle is cooking up), and also holding out hope for a woop/quag card release (looking unlikely)
BSS games which are likely to be held in next E4 tourney format..
I am excited for a bunch of things
Rayquaza is my favorite legendary pokemon.
Mega Rayquaza will finally get a chase card(s) that are not CGI . Hoping there’s one in Pocket too that is a differnt art which I can get a proxy of. So far every Mega Ray card has been CGI. I really hope the SAR is in an art style I like.
Of the the two cameo cards it has had I only like the Gold Shaymin one by Tokiya which I have, the one on the Hoopa promo looks meh to me and is forgettable.
New artists joining the Pokemon TCG.
He just got his first card published in the TCG
I do hope this artist gets more beasty Pokemon to draw in thedarker style seen in the Feraligatr piece.
Tayu’s 2024 contest entries
My favorite of Tayu’s embroidered fan art on their X
Tayu’s 1st published card upcoming in Storm Emeralda.
I will be collecting all cards by both artists in Japanese.
Pokemon Worlds and E4 meetup
Had a blast last year and fortunate enough to do it again, this time I will be playing the side games to hit the prize wall too! The E4 meetup ended up being the best part of Worlds for me last year.
E4 Signature Exchange
Can’t wait to see what comes in and for people to enjoy the cards my niece, nephew, and I worked on.
E4 Secret Santa
Ready for my next assignment!

It is a 2027 release if you didnt know. But still, every day is a step closer!
Oh, I thought new gens were almost always revealed in November. 
Or you mean gen 10 will be revealed in November 2027 then? 
Since we had the three starters on Pokémon Day, I was expecting them to reveal the entirety of gen 10 in November, with possibly some early promos in December, but officially released in early 2027.

Not sure. All we know officially is gen 10 is 2027. I assume they will tell us more, possibly at worlds this year. An early 2027 release would be awesome.
