I want that full art base set Pikachu 
And the number of the cards are funny. Some are /015 and others /028 nevermind
WHAT?!?!? These are UNREAL!! The variety of Pikachus is amazing!
And once again, I LOVE the idea of remixing the old style cards (Birthday Pikachu) with the modern-day texturing!
Pikachu V Union
[C] Union Gain
Attach 2 L Energy from your discard pile to this Pokemon
[L][C] Thunder Shock - 120
Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's active Pokemon is now Paralysed
[L][L][C] Electromagnetic Interference - 150
During your opponent's next turn, they can't play item cards from their hand
[L][L][C] Everyone's Electric Bolt - 250

Thought about the VMAX ones because of the number of the cards. Awesome!
I am SO in love the Pikachu V-Union art! It's like 25 years of Pikachu all in 4 cards T_T
The reprints are beyond amazing too, can we do this every 5 years from now on?

Well, we finally know what Pikachu V-Union promo actually does.
Should I start making the Set List for Celebrations mini set?

The birthday Pikachu is absolutely amazing. Great holo style. I didn't even know that card existed, I only knew the Surfing and Flying ones.
"During your opponent’s next turn, prevent all damage done to this Pokémon by attacks from Basic Pokémon."
Effect text is exactly the same as S1H(SSH) Obstagoon's Obstruct attack.

Okay TCG experts, can we identify all of the artists featured on Pikachu V-Union?
The easy ones for starters:
-Bottom left is Kagemaru Himeno
-Above the 25th logo is Kouki Saitou
-Below the logo is Tomokazu Komiya
-Dead center is Mitsuhiro Arita
-Ooyama is obvious lol

On a somber note, I am sorry to see Midori Harada did not/did not get to contribute to the V-UNION card. I assume her relationship with the TCG is complete. I would've loved to see her on this card as a parting gift to her fans. Still, I wish her the best!
To the Pikachus at hand, though, I'm sure some will look at the number of Pikachu cards here with trepidation - the more slots he takes up in the showcase sets, the less your favorite gets a chance to shine! - but it's hard to thing imagine anyone better to use to celebrate the franchise. I for one love any attention the Surfing/Flying chus get, though I do wish they'd stuck with the Aoki artstyle.
Not a fan of V-UNION as a card format, but this assembly of all these different artists - even Komiya, bless - is such a thoughtful celebration of the series, and certainly will be the most interesting thing they're going to do with the V-UNION template. The hype builds!
