[Water Pokémon Master]

We've had 28 years of printed Pokemon cards to choose from, let Pocket have its good cards too!

[Sh00ptyW00pty]

can we get a wahey for 4 pixel yanma

 

[gymleaderorion]

the Pocket IR Shaymin being better than the real life one

you can say that about every card in pocket lol

 

[LoneSoul]

Nice.another set i won't get cuz local card shops and scalpers keep putting up the prices

 

[Flailing Karp]

Just glad that there is no gold Arven crap to pull

 

[Exo]

Cynthia gold looks fire her hair goes well with the gold

 

[Alex Hesketh]

that's the thing though, why are they using the better ones in Pocket? it's not like they couldn't have used this one instead.

Meh give and take. Theres definitely good ones here as well. Its not like the artists go: wait lemme do worse bc this is for pocket. And Im still convinced in general it's just a "the grass is greener" situation for those that think Pocket art is "objectively" superior. One thing Ill concede tho is that now in Pocket they are giving every ex an illustration and for physical is still just halfish of them. But then again we do have people complaining still how there are so many SRs now so there's no winning ig

Sad Pichu got no AR, thought it would be a given since it was Ethan’s only Pokémon teased in the initial Owner’s Pokémon trailer—especially after not having a Pichu card for over 10 years.

Also feel like Misty was underrepresented. No ex, trainer cards, SARs and pretty unplayable cards. Being a popular character I thought she’d get the same amount of attention as the other characters. The Misty’s Psyduck AR is nice though.

 

[Exo]

Probably no Arven's Mabosstiff ex Gold, only 3 golds per set

Twilight had 6 Ogerpon, Ursaluna, Poffin, Enhanced Hammer, Rescue Board, and Luminous. Maybe I'm missing something if its exclusive to 3 MONS

 

[MrM4sl0]

I expected AR Pichu card

I mean I'll say this the set being named "Heat Wave Arena" doesnt help with misty getting nothing If she did get a ton of stuff she'd probably be on the pack art

 

[SlumberingWeald]

Sad there was no Pichu AR but I’m loving that Yanmega

Twilight isn't a Japanese set. Japanese sets always have exactly 3 gold cards.

I feel there's a chance the art shown in the reveal at world's will be used for the prerelease promos (Pichu and Psyduck)

[Basic]
