I didn’t even see the text on that card because the picture has about 6 pixels in it. Now I can see it though.
So I guess the gimmick is the cards are sideways. Might be cool.
Where are the resistances/retreat costs, though?

Looks very different, I’m not sure if I like the horizontal design but I don’t want to be too quick to judge. Maybe only these special “BREAK” cards will have this design to introduce more playable pokemon for the TCG.
How in the hell anyone can read that is beyond me. But if there is an attack that is visible from that picture, then it might as well have everything else necessary for a standard card.
BREAK cards look like Legends 
Though that’s good because at least in Japan, if you got one half, you got both back in HGSS era
Can we talk about how terrible those pack arts look…and is that a Pidgey in the Red Flash one?
…Pidgey BREAK confirmed

You betcha, Pidgey is da best!
Hmm, word Super in psmd logo and Break in xy break logo looks similar. STARTERS IN SCARVES CONFIRMED???
I thoroughly like Pidgey… the first ever flying type I ever used when I had Pokemon Yellow.
I thought it was a tropius?
BREAK Evolution rule revealed, and answers @milhouse’s question.
Zoroark BREAK – Darkness – HP140
BREAK Evolution
Break Evolution Rule: This Pokemon has the attacks, Abilities, Weakness, Resistance, and Retreat Cost of the Zoroark it Break Evolved from.
[D] Foul Play: Choose 1 of your opponent’s Active Pokemon’s attacks and use it as this attack.
Also, Chesnaught is featured in the Red Flash pack art, not Pidgey or Tropius.

These look disgusting. However, I reserve the right to change my mind on this pending non-potato image quality.
New commercials! Revealing parts of both M Mewtwo-EX, and Raichu and Noivern BREAK. Attack on M Mewtwo EX X is ‘Vanishing Strike’ not ‘Blue Shock’ as expected. That’s weird. M Mewtwo EX Y has Psychic _____.
Even more edits as I go through the commercials…BREAK cards are designated as RR and as such are the same rarity as EXs/Mega EXs.

When we were theorizing about what the BREAK mechanic could be, I thought the idea of Golden Pokemon was kinda lame and would be shit, but from the 3 images we have seen I think it isn’t so bad. I like that it means some Pokemon that would never get an EX will perhaps get a ‘special’ card. I love the concept of it being a Horizontal card that sits on top of the card you BREAK it from as well.
Right now I am cautiously optimistic. I like it when they try new things.

Mewtwos are fine
breaks are horrible
regular raichu is great
regular pikachu is AAMAAAZING
I wonder, how much will it cost?
I keep telling myself that 1 day I will ignore all promotional material/leaks for a set, and try and re-experience the thrill of opening packs from a set where I had no indication for what was in the set apart from the Pack Art.
I could never do that though.
