This is the worst comment ever. Yellows destroyed every card.
“Pokemon Card Game MEGA” Trademarked, Goodbye “Scarlet & Violet!”
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
No, the Sets are already Numberd. Unova will be the last SV set.
Megas are not coming next year, they will be released at the second half of this year.
Maybe for the wizards era cards. After production moved back to Creatures the yellow borders are absolutely terrible. Just look at Radiant Pokemon cards.
Let's just hope they make a card for every mega (preferably illustration :3)Literally nothing makes me more mad then the fact they didn’t make a card for each of the tera hats designs… just not making all the versions in full arts SURE. FINE. But not even 1 card for poison rock or flying? CRIMINAL. And orgepon doesn’t count because that is not the hat
As a collector I made a 18 card binder spread for each of the typings hoping to fill them in as they dropped and have a full gallery of each of the typing - then went ahead and made a second 18 card spread for full art versions - then when they announced stellar I made space for 2 more 18 card spread assuming they’d potentially hit all the types with a stellar crown / full art stellars - what a clown I amthinking that TPC would make cards to show off their hard worked designs and new/limited mechanics. God forbid the generational gimmick be present in the cards right??
The cards fumbled TERA Soooooo BAD. We should’ve had sets like delta species with entire family lines all type shifted -
RANT:
LIKE….**Every. Single. Pokémon.** in these games can have a tera type WHY DIDNT WE SEE BASICS/EARLY STAGE TERA in evolution lines ?!? Why NOTHING in way of type shifting for anything but a handful of Pokémon ? They hated/resented what they made the gimmick in the games and having to handle it in the cards was a massive struggle and it SHOWS.
i agree i was hoping for a couple more sets in the S/V TVG era. Wish more cards were with the trainers too, only having 2 sets with the trainers seems underdone
That's the worst opinion ever. The YEllow Borders MADE the card game. YOu think I'm joking, but the blue back and the yellow borders are so goddamn iconic you'd have to be insane to hate them.
They look fine to me? I really can't tell what y'all are jawing about. I do like the thicker borders of WOTC better though because it looks more like a frame. I really hate TCGs that have no borders
I have yet to see a good argument against Fairy type, just people who support Creatures being lazy and post hoc justifying their hatred of it (like yellow borders). But they also make the card game for a 90 billion dollar franchise so I think R&D can handle 11 colors instead of 10. Like if they can give us Owners Pokemon that suck all the ass and piss off after a few months, they can invest in making Fairy balanced.
The yellow made everything worse. It’s a simple Color-theory thing. That’s nothing subjective. It takes away from most color combinations as yellow is already such a strong color in itself. It’s just a simple presentation thing. You would never present art with colored frames or backgrounds for the same reasons. Feel free to join my art classes and I explain it to you in detail.
Pretty happy we're getting a Mega era since lots of older Pokemon that haven't been printed in a while will be coming, along with some nice special arts.
I feel like we could have had a couple more trainer sets, since only 2 is pretty miniscule, but I suppose they did represent every generation aside from 6.

I agree although I think Yellow contrasts better than silver with specific colours (energies)
I think silver is infinitely better with full arts though
Usually if you present art, you use a non-color (aka, black, white, grey). Black tends to enhance the brightness of certain colors, while white does the same with darker tones. That’s why usually a grey tone is used to find the most neutral ground, which of course isn’t always the best option (for black and white pieces on white paper I would use black, if it is more black I would consider white).
SV might be going away, but that doesn't mean it'll change drastically regarding the card templates. Just look at Mega Gardevoir ex, it uses the same layout as your regular run-in-the-mill ex cards. Remember, XY uses BW card template, until the end of the said era.
Pokemon has 8 true colors. Not 10. Dragon/Gold is multicolor, but gets supported like a color on occasion. Colorless, well, I really shouldn't have to be the one to explain that one to you. 8 colors is already a lot, and at times seems like more than they're really willing to seriously keep up with as it is.
Fairy was doomed to its fate pretty much from the word go, whether it's due to lack of variety at the time, the insistence to make it a full color instead of a Special color like Metal and Darkness were before they really got their footing, or any number of gimmicks they tried to go with to justify its existence near the end of its short life.
Believe it or not, recognizing the extreme difficulty involved in introducing (or worse, re-introducing) an additional full color that ought receive direct support (or in Fairy's case, what would be almost exclusively life support to justify the sunk cost) in every set until the end of time does not mean someone is "supporting Creatures being lazy". If anyone disagreeing with you needs to be "defending the evil billion dollar company" for your worldview to stay above water maybe the problem is with you.
Because what is it that you're trying to say by this? That Pokemon making money just magically means that the game's design is infinitely solvable no matter what stupid things they insist on doing in it? At that point, why stop at Fairy? Make like every deviantart / create a card hack that thinks every type should have its own color and flood the game with them. It's easy for armchair card R&D to say what "should" be happening when they have never once thought about things like set composition and how exactly 1-10 new colors would ever begin to have something resembling a distinct identity. To this unformed creative mind, all that matters is sating a desire to see more of something for the sake of seeing it. To hold back the primal nerd urge to "BWUH" post at the thought of a Clefairy being represented by purple. After all.. erm... Clefairy is not Psychic type you know...

Megas will probably stay in the next mainline game, so maybe they'll still be around?
The problem is the flair. Im not alone in thinking a single color representing 3 typings is quite a stretch while you have colors just representing 1. The flair is important since I think a vast majority of people that played in the first place is because well they like pokemon and know the videogame typings. Since they want around 9 colors imo it shouldve been just 2 per type. There's obviously quite the steps theyd have to take to make this possible and I wont go into detail rn of how to do that while changing the current game as less as possible but an "easy" baby step is just detaching fairies from psychic and ghost. So yeah I personally join the wave of people wanting fairy back, which I assume most do because of the aesthetic, that pink was really pretty for those pokemon while the purple looks hella ugly.Pokemon has 8 true colors.

Anyways in other words what we have right now in tcg with water and dark is what I personally love and where I think they have succeded. A color that encompasses 2 types while making a distinction between them with their weakness. It gives each type a bit of a stronger identity, since I believe type system is a very strong concept that a lot of pokemon fans are fond of or at least very familiar with. The TCG doesnt have to be a 1:1 to the video games ofc but they could easily improve what they're already halfass doing
Will pokemon rotate again next year? Will G cards go away in April 2026? Who will have cards to build decks?! There's only PAR and some tef here and there, and otherwise the only other cards available are old SWSH already out of rotation... Seems like at some point they're really gonna need to make a bunch of cards available
