I like the cards, but somehow it's also getting too much. Yes, it's nice to have many Pokémon, action and details on the cards, but it's getting hard for me if almost every card has as much action as M Lucario and M Kangaskhan or as much detail als M Gardevoir. I like it if there is some...
But if it has over 600 (assumingly different) Pokémon, it must be much more than just Kanto Pokémon. Maybe it features some gyms, cities, and other scenery from Kanto.
Did jumbo cards become more popular recently? I assume the are relatively easy to print, but I don't really care about them, while I liked the pins some collections had in the past which somehow disappeared.
I think one of those should come after the high class set. The schedule for Japanese sets has been very clear in the last years and I don't think the high class set will only come in January.
But shouldn't it be a shiny set again, if they follow their schedule? So basically shiny Megas and their...
I am not a competitive player (where I can imagine that they have some appeal), so just looking at them, they look even more boring than FA Supporters. And if they are added on top of IRs, SIRs, FA Supporters, Gold cards..., I am not really a fan. The golden items and stadiums often are sold for...
I don't follow the sets in Pocket, but with Black Bolt/White Flare in the physical TCG the did a good job and apart from that every blockt "must have" a Charizard set, a Pikachu set and an Eeveelution set now, I think so far in Scarlet & Violet we had a good variety in exs, SARs and ARs; better...
I agree that it influences the feeling, but unless there would be one in every pack, specific ones will still be much harder to be pulled than a holo, which now are almost worthless.
Lots of artworks I like a lot and lots I find rather boring. But should be really good, because everyone gets something in their favourite style. And if the pullrates are good, most of the ARs should not be that expensive. But hard to say based on the recent sets.
I also like those 2 more, but this is a set about Unova. And with Meganium and Sceptile having Mega evolutions, I think Chikorita and Treecko have good chances of appearing in one of the Mega sets.
Why is it getting worse?
Prismatic Evolutions was supposed to come in waves to fulfill all needs, which didn't happen. The next wave would need to be 2x or better 3x as big as the first one in January-February, but it sounds like it will be much smaller.
Journey Together was the most expensive...
I'm curious what they can do with the illustration rares here, because them just floating in the air over some generec beautiful meadow or forest clearing would be rather boring. I always imagined them possibly being involved in some lab settings or experiments or in some ocean 1 billion years...
