Pokemon Center Releases 25 New TCG Accessories Featuring Mew, Caterpie, Tyrantrum, Clodsire, Roaring Moon, and More!

id rather call out low effort merch when i see it than try to defend the company thats putting out low effort merch. insinuating that makes me a victim just shows that youre harboring weird shit. u should work on that.

u really think its a good idea to put Bug, Flying, Ground, Poison, ect. type symbols on merchandise for a game that doesn't even use those types? or are u just looking for an outlet for ur weird feelings?
It's merch gng, no need to be cussing and insulting people over it.

Dude, it's not that serious. You're coming in here brand new just to stir the pot with dumb takes.

Come back when you can type properly, contribute to the conversation like an adult, and can take a joke.

lol I never said or even acted like it was *that* serious. you decided to add whatever tone you felt like projecting onto my opinion and respond to it by acting like I'm some type of victim, but *I'm* the one that came in here "just to stir the pot"... ok sorry for voicing my opinion of the new product under the article about the new product. not sure how that isn't "contributing to the conversation".

come back when u have dealt with whatever it is you're going thru and learn how to make your jokes funny. If any typos I left are too confusing for you to figure out on your own then you're free to ask and I'm willing to elaborate. The only legitimacy I can find in your opinion is that I'm "new". lmao

Lets just get back into the topic. No reason for the PEOPLE in this argument to drag each other through the mud. Reddit and tumblr are widely available if you guys want more banter.

Back to the topic at hand. Albeit some of the designs are rather....bland(let's just put it that way.), I'm personally loving the paldean wooper/clodsire products!

i didnt realize swear words were frowned upon here. i'll refrain from using them in the future. but i didnt come here and insult anybody other than the person who designed this merch. lol

I agree. That's not the direction I was trying to go, I was just trying to voice my criticism of the designs of the new merch. Somehow that turned into me feeling like I had to defend myself. Lol

That being said, the background on that wooper/clodsire is awesome! I just wish the Pokemon were more involved in the "environment" of the background. The style of most of the modern stuff all has this clip art, copy/paste look to it. I mean, it's Pokémon, but it doesn't look like it was designed by somebody who has passion in the subject matter, it ends up looking more like something just thrown together just to have more merch to offer. I'm not mad that it's an option for people, it's just not my style.

To be completely fair I may be a stickler for cussing lol, just seems unprofessional especially in a forum millions use everyday. I can see that clipart feel, as most of the time it's just a gradient background (or basic enviorment) with clodsire. I think I know exactly what your looking for btw, but it's in the category of card sleeves. Japanese card sleeves made by the pokemon company are more likely to have the feel you expect. Some examples are inserted, and feel free to message me if you want more suggestions. There's also awesome postcards that have been made for 2025, which are linked here: https://www.elitefourum.com/t/postcard-releases-2025/54990/3

yes! those are great examples of a style that i can get behind! it looks like it has more "life" to it! and those postcards have their own unique vibe but the each piece flows together like a whole scene so much better! thanks for sharing! :)
