I really wish they'd put these into the regular rare slot like the original character rares (or, in this case, into the rarity of their original cards).

Why Grimsley when Karen uses Houndoom as her ace in most media and had a Single Strike supporter card to go with it?

Maybe they'll do an Umbreon for her?

Dude, keep those as a replacement in the reverse holo slot. The rare slot is already stacked. Don't make it even worse

 

[Omi]

Yes!- This could be very likely as they have only released one Vmax CR card. Also people would totally want the Umbreon Vmax from evolving skies. To be honest, they might also do the urshifu's with Mustard... IDK

... Why? More clutter in that slot is the last thing we need with these huge sets, and reverse holos suck anyway.

 

[MtSilverHermit]

Still holding out hope for a Blastoise character rare...

Maybe it's hinting at another Grimsley card coming in the future. As someone already set, I'm all for having Umbreon Vmax with Karen in its Character Super Rare as it will be another chance to grab an Umbreon Vmax

Don't worry, she'll speak with the manager

 

[Daniel B.]

Are we certain that there's going to be 70 Character Cards? Won't there be regular Full-Art and Rainbow Rare cards mixed in? Or am I forgetting something that was announced already?

Based on Dream League, the original CHR set, all of the CHR cards came before the FA/RR/etc cards, so it might be the case here as well, but we simply don't know yet

I really dislike it when the artists get the proportions wrong.

One of the most common are body parts not seen in the picture so are conveniently not imagined. The whole positioning of Houndoom looks weird and contorted.

You can also see the Zamazenta CHR, is it realistic that only one leg can be seen?

I don’t know, I see three legs

 

[beatbox2000]

I don’t know, I see three legs

Should rephrase that, it looks like only 1 leg is on the ground. I get that it's in motion, but still it looks off-model. The shield is too big and not sure where the other front leg is, the whole thing looks like it will topple onto its face without any balance whatsoever.

Don't know if it's just me, but cards like these which seem cool on the surface, but when you look into the detail, something seems off.

I feel like you're just being nitpicky and want all art to look exactly like the reference...

 

[Raven Zombie]

why do these have to be UR? they should have kept Trainers pokemon sets going. Gym Heroes/Challenge, VS (my favorite set period)

These are mainly about the art.
