I have two promo monsters because my kids wanted them and they weren't crazy expensive (Kookie and Draccus).I was aware (in advance) that the promo monsters would not be supported by evolution cards, and to be honest, what promo monster ever is supported (unless they make it an "official" monster like Penguin). The use of Promo monsters has NEVER been supported by evolution cards so this whole "conspiracy to screw over customers by changing editions around" holds no connection to promo monsters, it's a completely moot point.
Also, despite expectations, KoT and KoNY are separate games... I know some mentions were made of cross support, but they were later dropped before the new Power Up ever hit shelves... once again, this is a really weak argument to start saying Iello is out to get you.
I think sometimes people like to complain for the sake of complaining... Iello has put out a very nice fun game that people of all ages can enjoy... my kids love playing it, as do I, and its great for family game night. My desire to spruce up the game is of my own accord and if I choose to go beyond what the "normal" game specs are, that's really on me, not Iello... having said that, I'm happy that having gone back to obtain Kraken and Cyber Bunny to go along with my 2nd Edition copy, the new Power Up! will support it all. Iello didn't have to do that... they could have just said "screw you, 1st edition users", but they didn't.
Most users of the game are just going to buy/own 1st or 2nd edition... if they choose to buy Power Up!, they will be supported no matter which edition they own... I see no huge conspiracy that Iello is out to screw us all... it's just not there.
