I think GX, EX (uppercase), V, V-star, and maybe more are just the old equivalents of the current ex (lowercase) - a higher power tier for cards. I'm not sure about megas, whether those will replace ex or if they're going to be a separate category. Guess we won't know what will be implemented in Pocket for a while.
Right, I'm just guessing at why they're waiting so long. It only really makes sense to me if they're planning on other major changes/updates around the same time. Why else would you admit there's a pain point in the game and not fix it sooner? It doesn't seem like that major of an update on their end but who knows. Maybe it's just a tactic to get people to buy more packs in the meantime instead of doing expensive trades.
If it was something that was going away or getting more expensive/harder I could understand giving a longer grace period for players to get it. This one is a head scratcher for me.
