25th Anniversary Pikachu Cards Revealed, Including Surfing Pikachu V, Birthday Pikachu, Pikachu V-UNION!

[Mr. Sableye]

Gotta love the Ooyama and Komiya art on the V-Union! Might actually pick up a copy of this (these?)...

 

[Nintenfreak]

I'll have to figure out how my Tomokazu Komiya binder will accomodate Pikachu V-Union I guess.

 

[AmbientDinosaur]

It's a cornucopia of Pikachu! The VMAXs and the V-UNION are such fun cards.

The full art based on base set Pikachu reminds me of those extended card art fan works, makes me wish that there were more full arts made in that vein.

 

[Nintenfreak]

Noticed Flying Pikachu V didnt get translated

 

[ArceusTrainer]

I am hyped! These cards look incredible!

 

[FossilJockeyMG]

The Pikachu V-Union, and V-Unions in general, will look great in those little 4 card binder pages.

 

[Cynaptex]

I want them to overprint this set so much!! I need like at least 10 birthday pikachu's to hand out to my friends for their birthday. I love all this artwork!!

 

[WillyCharizard]

All the Pikachus are boring and the V-Union just look like they search Pikachu pictures on google and they just attach every single one they find

 

[Skeleton Liar]

Say what you will about the amount of Pikachu cards, but this is the epitome of a fun set. I have enjoyed seeing everything from it, so far. Very much looking forward to the entirety of this set!

 

[Animegamer420]

ya missd the gold pokeball

 

[JaxuTCG]

The fact that the happy, joyful Pikachu V-Union is an annoying item lock.

 

[Charmaster:)]

The Pikachu V-Union, and V-Unions in general, will look great in those little 4 card binder pages.

AND the 16 card binder pages.

Shown above is a 1000+ card TopDeck binder. Insane, isn't it? In my opinion it only has two faults. You can never have just one Pokémon of each type, and you can't display Amazing Rares all by themselves.

 

[Charmaster:)]

Each card will feature “conceptual artwork” of the Pokemon exemplifying the “atmosphere” or “aesthetic” of its era. For example, this could mean using characters or elements from its generation, emulating the real world art style of the time, or similar. These sell sheets are always vague to generate speculation.

Do you think this Pikachu card is an example of what was meant by “conceptual artwork?” Because that Mew that was previously announced doesn’t feel very “conceptual” to me.

 

[fawfulmark2]

I absolutely love how Pikachu V-Union is a reference to the original Pokedex entry-makes sense though since Pikachu is Pokemon #25.
