"The AR coding allows for up to 14,348,907 different cards, so it won't be easy to generate your own." So what does this mean then?
It means this:
Here's the obvious: It's not about the physical cards, it's about the AR images on them which are easily duplicated and shared via digital media. Nintendo is counting on the images circulating around the Internet and that's their distribution plan. They already did the same thing with the QR codes for 3D Pokédex. That's why they're not selling them-- they'll easily be traded across the world for free, and since there will be so many, no one will have them all.
And this still fails to make sense. Why bother to hype up the cards only to limit their distribution? It seems rather pointless to rely solely on digital media transference for the AR between players. If that were truly the intent, what purpose does it serve to have the cards in the first place? And did it not state that on the official site that the AR cards need to be physically before the 3DS, face to face, to partake in the card battles?
And, FYI, I wasn't requesting any apology. I simply wished to not be put down for my opinions and have a potentially decent discussion with one I could only hope is of intelligible mindset.
