Not at all, Megas are my favorite cards in the TCG and considering the text on the card artwork is entirely a stylistic choice, with no bearing on card function, I’m not bothered by it. If anything, it’s a neat localization quirk that at least makes the two different and gives reason to collect...

I’m not going to say much on this, other than that I’m going to give the benefit of the doubt here that if there ever was a translation error that affected things THAT much it would be either errata’d or forced to be made consistent in translation. I feel like you’re making a mountain out of a...

I'm currently in the process of exiting this hobby and selling my collection, but it's really nice to see the jump in how nice cards are this coming generation. Galaxy foil borders are so nice to see back. While I'm sitting it out from now on, it's at least nice knowing a lot of things I wanted...

It's been a whole one set out of a most-likely three year generation. There's plenty of time for all kinds of different Pokemon to get ex's, and with how good they've done recently with diversifying both popular and strange picks for Ultra Rares (See stuff like Lumineon V), I'm not too worried.

>Rainbows are likely dead The world is healing.

I mean, you can't really expect standard Ultra Rares to be on par with a celebratory end-of-era set. I'm sure the SV era will have alts and plenty with fantastic art as time goes on. It's still too early to pass judgement in that regard- The only real comparison we can give with these specific...

I will say I'm actually quite glad Ultra Rares have gone back to a more enclosed, card-body format. I was never a fan of GX's and V's which look just like... Much more bland Full Arts. GX's barely even look like a Pokemon card, frankly- These do. Them looking like EXs personally makes me happy...

Initially excited for the game following the leak cycle throughout the whole year, I actually ordered the double pack as I was excited to shiny hunt Paradox Pokemon and the like. However, I had to file for a refund as the game's technical issues went anywhere from distracting to...

I completely agree with this excitement- The fact that the new ex cards are a successor to the originals while also looking like EX cards (my favorite kind of Ultra Rare)... I couldn't be more excited. I'm going to actively keep up on this one with the new sets and everything. I haven't done...

Mmm, yeah, gonna disagree there with that one. This doesn't have the recognizability or meta potential to be anything more than a $5 card after a few weeks when it comes out in Silver Tempest. Probably less, even! Here, let's get some examples: Look at Roseanne's Research. $3. The Cynthia in...

Interested to see how the game will turn out based on this feedback, but I can't deny that the acknowledgement of these things is a step in the right direction. Hoping for the best! It still kind of stings not being able to play the Legacy Format once this takes over PTCGO, however. That was...

Maybe it's like the Inteleon and Gengar decks where they'll have a "Secret Rare" version of it that includes shiny prints, like those decks had the Alt Arts? That would be my theory but I could be completely wrong here. JP products almost never release in the US. Unless you mean the cards, in...

Reddit moment

Okay. I suppose this conversation won't get anywhere from now on, but I'm just saying to try and keep an open mind, because you came across as extremely close-minded initially- And still can by overgeneralizing (Saying NO modern 3D card is as dynamic as that Steelix, etc). That's the point that...

For the Kinebuchi ones, I do think those are valid points and I do agree that those cards have charm to them. However, I don't think I can fully agree that the Steelix is more dynamic than *ANY* modern-day 3D art. It's a good card, but that feels too much of a generalization, no? But, let me...

So you saw a grand total of five examples that you personally did not like, and thus, concluded that they all have to be "ass." I have my skepticism that you were indeed willing to be "proven wrong" if you're just concluding something after seeing an immensely small sample. Do you only like...

B-But, but he rates cards on a forum! He's an authority! He has every right to display a pretentious, holier-than-thou attitude to anyone he sees fit! But seriously... I don't get why people have to be so hostile over something like this, that in the worst case is a bit misguided, and in the...

Ryo Ueda also did the Full Art EX's during the XY era which I consider some of the most well-done 3D cards in the TCG's history. Among others. These cards are some of my favorites in the TCG, and I'd even go so far as to say many regular EX cards look quite good as well: I'm not going to say...

I feel like this screenshot of a chat I had with a friend is quite funny. I called it:
