Ooo I quite like the art!

 

[Shining Goodra]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there goes my wallet. I planned on trying to master set once this released in English but seeing these illustration rares so far solidifies that decision. At the current moment from what I see so far these illustration rares will be some of the best in any set so far.

Damn what a beautiful card

 

[machamps_fifth_hand]

Okay now I have a chase for this set. I will say that I will be shocked Is Kadabra doesn't get an illustration rare

Love the wartortle one, looks exactly like the back of the card.

 

[Pompidumbreon]

i don't see the logic in the numbering of the secret rares. it seems it's based on pokedex order: snorlax is #143 and zapdos is #145, but on the card there's a gap of 23 cards between snorlax and zapdos. Anyone has an idea or theory?

nevermind. AR and SAR

Has to be Kadabra for the reason of being reinstated.

 

[Chari]

The only card I like so far

 

[Clear]

such nice art wasted on something that can't even OHKO lugia without a road map.

 

[Raigetsu]

Illustration cards are always so gorgeous

Zapdos looks okay, but was honestly hoping for a power plant theme. Hopefully they don't do articuno and moltres dirty.

 

[coolcorsola]

I still like the stain glass promo they got better. The art looks fine, but it’s a bit boring ?‍

 

[Vomer]

Man, how cool would it be to buy those special binder pages numbered 1-151, but only fill each pocket once the Pokemon has an Illustration Rare? If they ever do all 151, would be super sweet to see complete.

 

[Diego Lima]

Yeah, that's easily one of the sickest alt arts we've seen so far.

 

[F4nt45m]

Can I just predict that the alt art charizard/venusaur/blastoise will be callbacks to there classic designs, charizard in the same pose and everything. The charizard one will also be 321098412983749200000000000000000000000000 dollars

Articuno and moltres won't get SARs.

 

[Nirvanna21]

Articuno and moltres won't get SARs.

I was hoping they would get AR though; however, upon looking at the Zapdos EX SAR again, I think those slots will be for the Dragonite family instead.

One more chance at an art rare Farfetch’d- it’s probably Gengar or whatever but I have faith they will make the correct decision
