WOTC CHAT REPORT
January 24, 2003 - by CHRISBO

They have finally posted some new Super Battle Zone information
at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=pokemon/league/superbattlezone including the format (Unlimited Constructed) and prizes.  There is also a partial list of Super Battle Zone locations at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=pokemon/league/superbzschedule.  Right now there are only about 35 locations listed, so don't lose hope if your area is not on the list yet.  Also, Aquapolis is in wider release than it was last week, so people are starting to ask questions about that too.

Enjoy,

BATTLE ZONE / SUPER BATTLE ZONE (Feb 15):

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #650 from daytongl:
2 Questions about SBZ: 1. There will only be TWO age groups, 14- & 15+, correct? 2. SBZ will be able to have more than 50 people, but the kit will only support 50 people, correct?

darkmt_mike says, "Yes and Yes."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #674 from soslowpoke:
Do you know the prize structure for the Aquapolis boosters at SBZ yet?
darkmt_mike says, "Nope."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #673 from true_darkwolf:
Will Canada receive super battle zone
darkmt_mike says, "1 that I know of."
master_trainer_pat says, "I believe that there will be one in Toronto."


 

AQUAPOLIS:

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #641 from steve_p [and question #646 from steelixownzu]:
Do the Aquapolis normal Holos (H1-H32) have parallel reverse foils?
darkmt_mike says, "Yes they do Steve!"
master_trainer_pat says, "H1-H32 do not have parallel foils per se...but, since there is a non-holo version of each of those(H1-H32) you can find a parallel foil for those. Did you get that? It's super hyper mega confusing... Perhaps the nuttiest numbering scheme we've ever used."

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #705 from lepi1962:
Aquapolis question: are H1 through H32 holos available in RH form?
master_trainer_pat says, "No. You can get their non-holo versions in RH form."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #653 from soslowpoke:
Do Metal/Rainbow/Darkness energy appear as reverse foils in aquapolis?
darkmt_mike says, "Yes. I opened one today with reverse holo Darkness."
darkmt_mike says, "Just reverse foil."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #711 from wizo_pokemom:
Are the Crystal cards available in RH format?
darkmt_mike says, "Have not seen one yet....dunno. Have any of you?:)"

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #660 from true_darkwolf:
is Lanturn in aquapolis supposed to have a poke body or is it just a misprint
darkmt_mike says, "No. It is a misprint. the water version should not have that pokebody symbol."
master_trainer_pat says, "The Lightning one is ok."

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #652 from daytongl:
Was Rainbow Energy in Aquapolis misprinted? Which card text is correct - the original that says do 10 damage, or the new card that says place 1 damage counter?

master_trainer_pat says, "We're looking into it. It may be a typo."

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #676 from daytongl:
RE: 652 - So we use the old text until the rules team gets back with you?
master_trainer_pat says, "Yes."
darkmt_mike says, "Use it the old way until we get it figured out!"


 

PROMO CARDS:

darkmt_mike presents the speaker with question #706 from m_p_douglas:
Professor Elm now is Promo Professor Elm !! Nice call guys, this makes sure we have lots of nice drawing power in the future.

darkmt_mike says, "Yes...we ares much smartier then we looks!"
master_trainer_pat says, "Not like Expedition and Aquapolis don't have enough"
[CHRISBO NOTE: Best #3 is a Reverse-Holo version of Prof. Elm and is being distributed to Professor Delegates that have turned in their delegate forms.]

master_trainer_pat presents the speaker with question #713 from gym_leader_blaine:
do you know how the Best of Promo's 2 and 4 will be made available? And if so will you tell us?
master_trainer_pat says, "Yes. I can't tell you though"
darkmt_mike says, "Yes I do. No I won't."
