Most Valuable Cards from “Terastal Festival ex,” Surprisingly #1 is Not a Secret Rare!

Ogerpon placed #5 on a Japanese poll in the year she debuted and while I can believe they're legit results, Japan's tastes also rarely align with what fans think overseas. Like how Reshiram is more popular in Japan and Zekrom is more popular in the US.
 
Lmao no shot Ogerpon is 5th most popular pokemon of this generation. They must have bots running those polls. At best it's one of the more polarizing pokemon of gen ix. It's a Munkidori away from being worst legendary of all time. Enough trying to will it into relevancy
Again with this: this is how I feel so it must be true versus actual facts but okay. And I feel quite neutral about Ogerpon so I dont even have any "need" into make it relevant
 
I am excited for the addition of the master ball and Pokéball cards with the texture. Clearly it sparks some interest from the community.

It reminds of what they did in the Shining Legends set. I wish they weren’t combined with some of the most popular chase Pokémon of all time. The set is already so expensive and it’s not even out yet.😢
 
I'm not sure if the Ogerpon cards will increase that much they're fairly hideous. Generic cards that couldn't even put Ogerpon in a more interesting environment

I always forget peronal opinions of a card's art determine the value of them. We had so many people here swearing up and down how everyone hates hats, no one wants them and whatever and lo and behold the prices always contradict them. Now I dont believe personally the prices of these Ogerpons will increase much but we'll see
Maybe they won't ever be super expensive, but when you consider that Aurorus's only two ordinary cards are worth $2 and $3 and its promo EX is worth $10, it's not implausible, say, $10 by the time Drayton and Amarys are worth $4.

And how Roaring Moon's popularity is nonexistent in Japan but people LOVE it in the West.

It’s not. It’s clearly among the best pokemon in this gen. Also shows how much more versatile and open Japan is. Westerners just want generic cool dragons and swords. Go play D&D then. It’s really tiring.

I'm part of the "generic cool dragons and swords" crowd (hence why Roaring Moon is one of my top 2 Gen 9 Pokémon and is more popular in the west in general), but I am pretty fond of Ogerpon because of how they made her into an actual character
 
I mean, Ogerpon already has full arts which are just better than these. These feel like 5ban full arts but more flat somehow

The immensely popular Ogerpon that is dirt cheap relative to everything else IN JAPAN. Signals are there whether you care to admit it, nobody wants this stuff
 
The art on all of Ogerpon's SARs is also... bad. Consistently.

People were favorable to the ETB promo of Ogerpon though. Because the art wasn't bad.

That's the best Ogerpon card cause it focuses more on her rather than the masks which all had an ex, full art, AND a SAR and a single prize teal mask but now we have 4 more SARs that look the same as the other ones

Might aswell just call it "Teal Mask ex" as shes barely on there! I love Ogerpon and the masks but this is just annoying. Similar to Eternatus I doubt she will get any cool cards after Scar Vi is done apart from the random single prize that comes out every 2-3 generations of sets.

Edit: Teal mask also got a gold, promo full art, and promo ex and is now getting a new gold...

I sit here sipping my coffee reading all the Ogerpon hate, planning my trip to the card shop to pick up all the Ogerpon cards for super cheap. It's easy to sit here and criticize them, and I agree their artwork is weaker than many, but I'm certain I'll regret nothing once they're gleaming side-by-side in my binder in all of their textured glory.

You always gotta keep in mind the vast difference between digital images and the card in hand. Especially with the Japanese print quality. Stuff doesn't have to have market value to have collection value.
 
Love it when the SIRs are cheap! The prices tend to be higher in EU though, even for JP cards. But still, maybe €5-10 for a SIR is just great.

I don't even hate Ogerpon, I think it's a pretty cool pokemon and like the idea of the alternate masks. My issue is they didn't really do much with the SAR's and could've had it be in an environment that hints to the lore in the DLC or showing it do something

I still think it's better than the archaludon SIR which I personally think is the ugliest SIR we've seen yet
 
Ogerpon is popular, but isn't that mostly centered around her maskless form? I'm really not surprised that the SIRs aren't doing too hot, since the actual Pokémon that people like is tiny and partially or mostly obscured by text on all eight of them.

With that being said I do love how the masks look in these ballpoint pen SIRs.
