I love the artwork, but it looks like the FA's aren't textured... and what's with the token like things on the left of the cards?
Came across this today on Bulbapedia
"Each of these cards feature a number of charms down the left side of the artwork, and each charm is said to tell a story about the Pokémon in the illustration. The charms and what they denote are detailed in the table below."
Ribbon:
