    Misty’s Psyduck Illustration Rare from “Heat Wave Arena” Revealed!

    Oh, she's clearly swimming under the water, since Psyduck is wading and causing surface ripples while she isn't, but she's still too close to the bottom for comfort!

    Misty’s Psyduck Illustration Rare from “Heat Wave Arena” Revealed!

    Super clear water like the kind in this art can be very deceptive in depth, and there's real life examples that look like you could just walk along its shallows but it's actually deep enough to snorkel and swim freely in. That said, her shadow is REALLY defined and opaque against the bottom of...

    GameStop Discontinues Pokemon TCG Preorders at Stores and Website!

    From what I know with my own experiences (mass production printing), they do look to be at capacity with printing with very few solutions other than to expand operations. Big post, I'm so sorry. "I ain't reading all that; congratulations, or sorry that happened." If I'm wrong somewhere and...

    “Pokemon TCG Pocket” Earning 3x More Than “Pokemon GO,” Pulling in $3 Million Per Day!

    Not entirely shocked about GO making less; they keep shooting themselves in the foot by taking things away or making them more expensive, and if it's not that, they're busy alienating audiences. Meanwhile this app has been inoffensive and easy to get into. All said, it's still very new, so...

    All “Supercharged Breaker” Secret Rares and Pull Rates!

    I'm immensely spoiled by Hydreigon getting Akira Egawa art. Also, I may have cried a little looking at that Phanpy because it's so happy.

    Skarmory and Clobbopus Illustration Rares from “Paradise Dragona!”

    as an artist, i deeply envy the way that takumi wada is capable of rendering chrome in such a simplistic way, but that also goes to show the great lengths his years of experience has taken him. i would die happy to reach that level.

    Pokemon TCG May Be Hinting at a Later 2025 Release for “Legends: Z-A”

    This is something I'm keeping an eye on. August 2023, there was an interview with the COO where he stated there were conversations about how they could keep to the same schedule for main game releases while improving quality of product. There was another interview (I wish I could find it, but...

    “Scorching Charizard” Premium Pokemon Center TCG Accessories and Bags Revealed!

    While an 'evergreen' pokemon to base stuff off of might not always be exciting to see, it's not bad. The shoulder bag's pretty alright for people who don't want to go in on a backpack, but want a versatile option. The deckbox architecture is pretty nice, too, though I won't be dropping 35$...

    Creatures Discontinues Instagram Account for Textless Illustrations

    not only that, but it's a general business move. posting the art on their main account means they attract the audience that only cared about illustrations to their main avenue of marketing instead of having them form separate metrics and communities. it raises the chance to sell product to an...

    Cradily, Lileep, Antique Root Fossil from Stellar Miracle!

    i'd also love to see a cubone alt art; 151 was a really cool opportunity for it, so i wish they had taken the chance while they had it. it's important to not knock something else down just because you didn't get what you want; someone other than you might have wanted that something else and...

    Cradily, Lileep, Antique Root Fossil from Stellar Miracle!

    that lileep has a good art! i'm sure fossil lovers are excited to see it. i particularly enjoy the attention to detail throughout the room, like the geometric lileep rugs and the other fossils hidden amongst the belongings. it's okay to not like things; things don't need to seek permission to...
