Supporter lock and plus power on a supporter? We are so back.

 

[thegoldentoad]

Some really beautiful artwork there.

I'm gonna print out these cards and have them PSA graded. How else are you supposed to play with them in tournaments??
Also that Misty in PSA 10 would easily be $100 - 200!!!

 

[Nirvanna21]

Yeah, this is both the most amazing and horrible thing ever. The amazing part? Great artwork and set to trend in the direction of Gen by Gen. The horrible part? We probably will never see these printed.

That Gyarados is AMAZING!!

 

[Coltreign19]

Every single one of these awesome artwork cards could have been, and should have been, in the 151 set. 151 is already amazing, these would have made it absolutely busted (in a good way)!

 

[JJVargasArts]

If they are smart about it we will see a printed set in the distant future. These artworks are to good to leave in a digital format only.

I’m excited to try this app though with my friends and family. Some of them are excited to try this out and they have never been into Pokémon or the Tcg so this will be interesting.

 

[Dirt]

it would be so sick if they would do a special set for these artworks. They are TOO GOOD!!!

 

[Tvoretz]

I like the Stellar type Full Arts

 

[Firemaker]

I wasn't sure at first but now I'm very much excited to get this game

 

[GoldGarchomp]

That Alakazam…please, make it physical. Or if I get the artists permission to submit it for next years contest and hope it places high enough to make it a physical….i can dream right
