A new news article has been posted!
The official Pokémon website has announced the Play! Pokémon 2015 Season Format Rotation rules and regulations. The rotation rules go into effect on September 3, 2014 but the 2015 season started on July 14, 2014. Additional expansions become legal three weeks after they are released in the United States.

The New Expanded Format for 2015

Starting on September 3, the new Expanded format will be joining the familiar Standard format as a legal option for sanctioned Pokémon TCG events of all sizes. This new format will allow players to use all expansions from Black and White on, so players will have even more options when designing a winning deck!
