    Art History: Venusaur

    Accidentally voted Nishida, meant to vote Yoshikawa. In depth: Base Set - One of Arita's better early ones, if you ask me. Almost up there with the Dragonair. Gym Challenge - Sugimori's work stands out as too generic for me, though that's mainly because we've all seen his work before...

    Artist Review: Shin-ichi Yoshida

    I think this guy was pretty good, actually. Sure, the Venusaur and is butt-ugly, and the Electabuzz is kinda deformed, but some of his others, particularly Cyndaquil and Typhlosion, are easily some of the better pieces in their respective sets. I think of him as a predecessor to Kouki Saito.

    Friday, 7/28, Card Review, Ranger Logo, TR Video

    Scream? Nah, I cocked an eyebrow, thought "WTF?", and then started laughing 5 seconds later. I didn't know it was supposed to be a "screamer" until I read this thread. >_< And harsh on the Sunflora art? I thought it was nice. Then again, I have a strong dislike for Kizuki.

    Sunday, 7/22, ATM Rock Review, More Lucario Clips, Pokemon Showcase

    While the BF intro is better than anything 4Kids could put out, seeing as how the footage isn't sped up tenfold, it's far too short, cutting out many good parts of Spurt (Sceptile vs. Aerodactyl, for example). This is, of course, assuming this is the real intro being used for the dub's season 9.

    9th Movie Half Deck

    Sceptile was still a Grovyle in Movie 8. As for the 9th, I haven't seen it, so no clue. (I'm too lazy to reference the guide on Serebii) TYranitarFReak, it's not healthy to be living under a rock, particularly for your back.

    Thursday, 7/20, Live from Comic-con!

    Was Bonsly still pronounced "Bon-SLY" in the movie? A clash in pronunciation between 4Kids and PUSA would not be too inviting. Kid kept her Japanese name? Or was simply referred to as "the kid"? I hoped they would give her an actual name. >_< How are the Regis' voices "scary"? I hope they...

    9th Movie Half Deck

    Well, none of the big sites seem to have info on the latest VS half-deck released alongside the 9th movie and Japan, but mine came in the mail today, so I figure I'll go ahead and post a listing. I apologize that I do not have a scanner or digital camera on hand, otherwise I would gladly scan...

    Friday, 7/14, NEW Pokemon!! (DP stuff too)

    RE: Friday, 7/14, New D/P Shadow Pokemon Revealed! Well that didn't take long! We didn't even have time to have fun speculating... All I can say is that this better yield a Magmar evolution.

    Wednesday, July 5th, Interview with US Nats Champion, Manaphy Stuff

    I'm curious as to what some of character's dub names will be (We know Aaron will stay Aaron, but that's it so far)

    Tuesday, 4th of July, Still Working on Layout, EX CG Pack

    Am I the only one who thinks the crystal background looks incredibly tacky?

    Oh snap! I just realized something! Abra and Kadabra have been left out AGAIN! They might only have one more shot before the D/P sets...

    Thursday, 6/29, All Furthest Ends Scans, Complete Furthest Ends Spoilers

    Those cards appear in the theme decks. The cards that appear in the set themselves are all Delta. What I don't like about much of the artwork is how most of them have some dumb colored aura around them that's supposed to match their Delta type. Speaking of which, WPM, will you be getting the...

    Thursday, 6/29, All Furthest Ends Scans, Complete Furthest Ends Spoilers

    I agree with my fellow card art fanatics. A bunch of "blah". Nishida's work is amazing as always (But only 3 cards? Maybe some more will appear in the theme decks.) and I'm glad Yuka Morii's back, but I'm no longer impressed with any of the CG, and the only really awesome artworks in my mind are...

    Friday, 6/23, Fourteen Furthest Ends Scans and Translations

    RE:  Friday, 6/23, Fourteen Furthest Ends Scans and Translations For future generation Pokemon, with the exception of promos here and there (like the bazillion or so Lucarios), they don't make any series debuts until in a complete set of the new generation. As the card art fanatic, I'm fond...

    Friday, 6/2, Furthest Ends, Manaphy

    The second Manphy promo box kinda looks like the small package that was released alongside Movie 8, which contained a Mew and a Lucario. This is probably similar, and will likely also contain a Kyogre if the box is anything to judge by. As for that first Manaphy promo...no clue. The 9th Movie...

    Saturday, 4/22, EX Holon Phantoms Scans, Numero Uno Articuno, The Symbol Life

    Nice job! Hmm...do the reverse holos have the effect on the actual Pokemon like a Delta holo? It's rather hard to tell from the scans. I'm specifically referring to the Baltoy, since it's not actually a Delta Pokemon. Atsuko Nishida is generally my favorite artist, but I think the thick black...

    Saturday, 4/22, EX Holon Phantoms Scans, Numero Uno Articuno, The Symbol Life

    I hope the reverse holo format is the same as the one used in Legend Maker. Those were the first RH's I actually liked, as they didn't look completely tacky.

    4/21, EX HP Set List, Diamond and Pearl Official Names

    Romanizations are not English names. However, many of them turn out to be similar, and most legendaries + Absol actually keep the Romanizations without changing them. I still think Bouysel will be spelled Buizel in English for some reason. Pronounced the same, but it looks better to me and it...

    4/21, EX HP Set List, Diamond and Pearl Official Names

    As predicted, the Meiji 4 promos that were not used in POP 2 are being used here (Regis and the like). Mawile was in the first Lucario tin. I don't remember if Sableye was or not, but those two are generally paired together in some way, so...
