Let's take these one at a time: 1) I'm aware of these English promos: a) "E3" lv12 Pikachu b) "W" lv14 Pikachu c) "Promo" lv16 Pikachu d) "Promo" (lv ?) Jigglypuff e) "PRERELEASE" lv34 Clefable f) a whole mess of specially marked cards from the Pokemon League. (red-border cards, rumors of an Aerodactyl... and so many more...) WOTC has not released ANY of this information. I just gather it from people who email me and I trust. 2) PRERELEASE Clefable looks JUST LIKE a Jungle Clefable, but has the word "PRERELEASE" stamped on the card. 3) Promo Jigglypuff is real. It was distributed in Hyper Coro Coro comics in Japan (yes, it is an english card, but was distributed only in Japan.) 4) Promo Pikachu was being distributed at the Pokemon League, but this card came out in the same issue of Hyper Coro Coro in Japan as Jiggly. 5) No official strategy guides yet. Prima's should be the first... 6) No Mew in america yet. 7) The strongest rumor at this point: Mew will only be a promo, not in Fossil boosters. 8) I have never heard of Platinum Mewtwo. Brian Brokaw
