If you consider the bubble mew to be “jaw-dropping”, I think you just have eccentric tastes. The bubble mew artwork is basic garbage and nothing about it screams “stunning”. Just because it’s expensive doesn’t mean the artwork is good. Literally every other card you mentioned is leagues better than the bubble mew
I agree that the Mewtwo is underwhelming and the Ho-Oh is an EXTREME disappointment. I especially dislike the Ho-oh. However, I also find bubble mew underwhelming as well. You have to understand that everything is opinionated and subjective, especially in a space where it’s all about what artwork you like. Art is literally the most subjective thing ever
I know I'm probably the odd one out here, but I actually really like the Mewtwo. I also like Bubble Mew for its simplistic yet charming design. I agree that the Ho-Oh is pure garbage.
Just because I find it underwhelming doesn’t mean I don’t like it. I actually do like the Mewtwo, it’s a pretty alright card. I’d give it a 6/10. The problem is that it is so far below my (and everyone’s) expectations that our disappointment sours the potential enjoyment of the card, which really sucks. We were all expecting an insane, awesome, and cool artwork for Mewtwo, but instead we got.. a Macy’s day parade float
Cut the overhead, like the cost of the warehouses and printing facilities, cut the cost of the printing machines, and employees, the materials. Just have some artists to make virtual cards. Costs them very little comparatively. People are dumb enough to pay for virtual cards (where they own nothing and are happy, I guess). They need their fix and will buy it either way. Pokemon saves a boat load of money. I don't see why this is a silly concept.
I agree completely. This digital age of owning nothing is terrible.
or SIR to comparisons, but the physical cards tend to be more cartoonish and less vibrant.
Going directly through: the physical Alakazam is much better, it’s in an interesting location as opposed to another boring “action” shot from Akira Egawa. The pocket Lapras is better. The nidokings are comparable, but I lean towards physical. The physical palkia is a lot cooler, and I appreciate the actual color contrast. Finally, the physical rapidash is also much better looking and more interesting. If you were trying to argue that pocket has better artworks, you failed miserably. There are MUCH better pocket cards you could have used to highlight the quality difference in artworkI agree with the sentiment of pocket having better art than the physical TCG. I have attached some examples of the same Pokemon in both versions. Some of them are not IR to
While there are many that are on roughly the same level, the Nidoking and Rapidash really highlights the quality difference.
... You think that they don't make more on physical cards?
