The announcement comes after a heavy push for an early rotation by the game's player base. Because new rules associated with the {{bp|Black & White (TCG)|Black & White}} set were implemented before the rotation of pre-HeartGold & SoulSilver sets, players have complained that the format used with the 2011 {{bp|Play! Pokémon#Battle Road Tournaments|Spring Battle Road}} tournaments was imbalanced, boring, and luck-based. Many threatened to not attend Nationals or Worlds if the format was not changed. | The announcement comes after a heavy push for an early rotation by the game's player base.
