Still hoping that they'll do something different with the gold secret rares that would be more like this. Similar to how they made unique art for the legendary gold cards in Vstar Universe.

Underwhelming. Was hoping to see some shiny ARs and SARs, and maybe we still will, but I feel like they'd lead with that if it was happening.

Would love to see the shiny Pokemon be in AR and SARs this time.

It looks like they are. They're not the same as the 151 ARs at least. Agree with the person who said they might be done by the same artist, as the Charmander in the ETB wasn't from Ruler of the Black Flames or any other released set from what I remember.

I actually don't hate Raikou, It could've used more detail, but I like that its mane is a cloud around its head, and that it resembles a 'thunder lizard' type of dinosaur.

Sad we didn't get that Tyranitar and Glimmora art as SARs.

Agree. Might look fantastic with sparkle and texture. Illustrations is really cool, but not having a move involved pose or interaction with a background hurts it a lot, at least for me. The crystal will look really cool, but I'm hoping most of the SAR for tera types are in a different...

Same. There have been a handful I like based on the pose and background, but the vast majority are filler with a style that has been far surpassed by trainers and now illustration rares. Also, he only thing I can think of as to why they didn't have a Kadabra art rare is that they didn't want to...

Some of the full arts are cool, but it's so few that it really makes it pointless. Never understood why they didn't make them similar to the trainer full arts; fun render, some background, but not nearly as complex as the SAs or SARs. I like the golds better, but I assume it's just cause...

Non-Secret Rares shouldn't be hard to find. If you're looking to open English, you should be able to find product online or in a store. They're printing like crazy. Japanese will probably be impossible to find right off the bat, but you can always find people on Ebay selling bulk c/u/r.

I could see this for ~$100, but there's not enough there to make it so expensive. Either more decks or something. 250-300 is crazy.

Damn, looks really cool, but should be a reverse rare or something, not a SR. Needs more to take up that spot.

It's part of what makes collecting PTCG art so great. There are different styles, and then there are different styles.

I usually want to see the environment and other Pokemon in the alt arts, but this is fantastic. Gorgeous art and they fully committed to the close up crop.

Everything is already pretty redundant in Pokemon, and the parent companies don't seem to be very interested in exploring new territory other than so-so gimmicks that are immediately abandoned. And that's ok for what it is. I'd be excited to see them explore something new, but I doubt it. So...
