When does the E regulation mark leave?
The regulation marks are new, and so am I. Ive never done a rotation before this but I know regulation marks just happened. We lost the D so when do we lose E and F? Is it next set or every 2 sets? When will sword and shield become fully illegal for standard?

It's still soon to know the exact cards and date but once a year (with some exceptions like covid), Pokémon TCG's Standard rotation takes place, which aims to phase out older sets in order to keep gameplay fresh, interesting and accessible to new players.
They usually announce all about the next rotation more then 4 months before the release, but most likely regulation E card will rotate out. At this point no one knows the exact cards there are always exceptions and like you said the regulation mark is kind of new, we will see later this year.

@TechHog Boy go educate yourself before say such nonsense... obviously it affected the rotation as was stated by PCI and much more! Were you sleeping or you just have a little fish memory?
"Traditionally, Standard’s rotation happens at the start of a new Championship Series season, just after the end of that year’s World Championships. However, the Covid pandemic has resulted in World Championships being cancelled in the last few years, resulting in The Pokemon Company has had to put out more direct statements on rotation. The last rotation was on September 10, 2021, at the start of the 2022 season."

There's not set date for the next rotation. This year they changed the rotation method to follow the same rules as japan, which meant block D rotated out the same day block G released.
If they keep this method, expect block E to rotate out the same day block H releases, at some point early 2024.

Where is this quote from? Also, there were still rotations in 2020 and 2021. Why would 2022 be the one affected, especially when things were improved enough that they were able to bring back events and have Worlds? This quote also doesn't say what you think it does.
This quote definitely isn't from TPCi so I don't know what you think you're showing with it.
EDIT: You're trying to pass off a quote from a random website that barely covers Pokémon and doesn't even know the difference between TPC and TPCi as a statement from TPCi, and that quote doesn't even support your argument? Are you okay???

Witch part of educate yourself you didn't get boy? You're the one who came here discredit what others said without any source, you don't even know how to read what's in the sources and devalue it because doesn't fit your fake narrative?
Stop making things up, I never said 2022 rotation was affected by covid, I said once a year Pokémon TCG's Standard rotation takes place, and there were many delays on the rotation over the years due to many reasons on of them being the covid. My point was that it's hard to predict exactly when the next one will take place due to those reasons!
Everyone that was playing around during covid knows it affected big events and much more things that are tight related to the rotation, there was a mess in printing cards, delays on set releases, missing world championships, so much more, how in your tiny head you don't understand that it affects the rotation baffles me.
Also everyone knows the rotation it's not in sync with Japan, their rotation happens much earlier like the last one was January 20th 2023 in Japan and we only had it April 14th 2023, so stop lying and spread misinformation about that the delay has anything to do with that! What they try to sync with Japan is the regulation marks that get out of rotation and even that it's not the exact same because Japanize sets have different cards then ours.
Now go do something other with your life if you have one, and stop lying and annoy others.

Okay, genius, I want you to think for a second. You're right that Japan's rotation was in January and ours was in April. Do you know what else happened in Japan in January and and the west in April? Hint: I wasn't talking about syncing timing.
And nice job moving the goalpost, but rotation was never delayed for COVID. You're the one saying things without any source, my friend. ("TheGamer" is not a source.)
EDIT: Okay, I guess to be fair you can argue that the rotation in 2021 was delayed a little due to the sets being delayed, I guess we have a whopping two weeks. But again, since you know that sets being delayed affects rotation, you should be able to figure out why there wasn't a rotation last year.

Be quiet boy all I see is your opinion, excuses and no sources again, so stop lying and spread misinformation. Also I told you to get lost and stop annoying others.

You haven't posted any sources either. .-.
Anyway, since you're clearly a bit slow, at the time of their respective rotations the cardpools in Japan and ROTW were identical other than a few Japan-exclusive cards with no meta relevance. Both rotations happened with the release of G-Block. To say COVID was the actual cause is just insanity.
