I don't care too much about artwork of digital cards, but didn't we learn that many artists when designing artwork for cards, submit 2+ artworks and then one is picked?, so there should be lots of unused artworks. Plus all of the artwork from contests. So I am sure there are 100s if not 1000s of...
I agree with you that the look good, but probably it's because you like Metang more and I like Feraligatr more as a Pokémon. I know the Metagross line has fans, but I am not a fan of Pokémon that don't look like animals or plants.
Girafarig was always an interesting Pokémon to me. It is not one of the most-neglected Pokémon, but in 23 years we had 10 Girafarig cards and now this is the 4th one in 14 months, and I like the illustration a lot.
Yes, and because it's not a Pikachu or Charizard, I am much more optimistic about it. I don't think I can get it anywhere where I live, but I would be happy if it ends up being sold online for max. 2-3 €, hopefully not more than 5.
I wanted to go in the next 2 weeks, so I am disappointed.
It makes sense if staff and regular visitors were harassed, but it also rewards the scalpers who already made trouble and got a lot of cards.
I think if they just had handed it out to everybody for a long time, the card would not be worth...
I like these artworks more than in the last 2 Japanese sets.
I don't like the Pokémon Veluza or Toedscruel at all, but those artworks are worth collecting.
Actually not that many cards I like a lot. The previous sets had more.
Parasol Lady and Mantyke. Not saying the other ones are ugly, but don't impress me much.
Jirachi as a common card. Long ago legendary and mythical Pokémon were always rares. In the recent years we had some as uncommons, because there are now more legendary and stage 2 Pokémon in sets as there can be holos (however could be changes, as you now have a holo in every pack resulting in...
Should be good to include some artworks from people from overseas too. There are enough talented Japanese illustrators, but more can't hurt.
And I will always love a new Oddish card. Imagine a first Oddish holo. Hope it won't be hard to get.
I really like the Exeggutor art. We've had quite a few Exeggutors in the last years, but this one looks much better than the last ones. Would look great as a FA with texture and colours like the plants.
Mantyke is my favourite of them. Yveltal is an extraordinary card, but somehow I don't like looking at it.
And Parasol Lady looks great, but it is such a random card. Like, it looks good, but doesn't really mean anything to me, because it's not a gym leader, main character or anything with a...
307 even.
It's 4 pre-release promos, up to 2 ETB promos, 2-4 blister promos per set already. And then the vast amount of "collection boxes" and tins. And the V-UNIONs were even split into 4 promos.
Most of these types of promos did not exist back in the days.
