Starting to feel a sense of dread that this cycle of owner's pokemon is a failure on every level

Finally an actually cool concept from one of these Trainer’s Pokémon SARs (instead of the trainer literally just standing next to their Pokémon).

Cool pose!

How's it a failure this shit looks fire no? Like the arts really cool to me

 

[teperoma]

why are people complaining about this?

Cynthia > Rocket

Its barely better than a pasting a still frame from the anime onto a card. It does nothing artistically that hasn't been seen before. Again its just a trainer standing nearby to a pokemon.

Finally justice for me and all the other Garchomp Fans around the world. This Artwork is so fire and i can finally forget Paradox Rift SAR.

So if is not artistically breaking is bad?

There's a legit good amount of owner's Pokémon that are perfectly fine standalone and as individual archetypes. Hop Box as well as Hop's Pincurchin ex are nice, Lillie's Clefairy ex will be mandatory for any decks that use Psychic energy in any capacity to deal with Dragon types and Underdepths strats, Ethan's Ho-Oh + Fire Off will revitalize the entire Fire type, Trade Zoroark is back, Cynthia Box will be a thing, the only trainer that is legitimately getting zero good cards is Misty unironically.

my thoughts exactly. Super clean artwork it doesn't need to be all abstract every single card. even then, the artwork is a great POV of a battle with cynthia on the big screen looks like shes commanding an attack, its very cool

 

[Noficus]

My wallet is crying but i must have this!!

 

[lilrizky]

It's a really nice art but as I'm only collecting cards for an "arts" dex, It's a little too busy vs TG Garchomp V and I rather have a Garchomp without Cynthia's name in front. OCD, I know

 

[Mudgerat]

Wait…people don’t like this ? Are we looking at the same card ? This looks like a 300 dollar card.

Bro stop just cause you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not cool.

 

[SlumberingWeald]

Might be my favourite Garchomp card art ever. Or at least tied with the one from Breakthrough

As opposed to what? What would look good then?

 

[Metro Buumin]

People woke up wanting to hate. This card is S-tier Pokemon. Popular trainer, popular mon, art that shows them together in-world, no crystals or hats. I’ll take 20!
