Agreed. With these bright colors it even get lost in the background, being unnoticed. What a shame.
I like how the 3 backgrounds combine to form a continuous landscape. If he was going for a cohesive feeling he definitely got it. The world could use a little more cohesiveness right about now
My only issue with them is that they are not unique enough compared to the 25th anniversary stamp.
What the hell are these Pokemon doing on my stamp cards?
I also like the clefairy cameo for Mt.Moon.
Am I the only one who’s annoyed by the promo numbers? Gens 1, 4, and 7, but promo numbers 037-045. Maybe I’m just too OCD with stuff like that, lol..
With the Simplified Chinese ones, they have gaps for the numbering for the other gens that are released later on: gen 1 = 001-003; gen 4 = 010-012; gen 7 = 019-021.

Ah, “Mt. Moon”… brings so many memories ツ
The attacks feel wrong to me.
Bulbasaur should have vine whip not leech life. Rowlet should have peck and piplup should have tackle.
They may not be the first attacks but all of them are moves the starters can use in the games. Interestingly, Squirtle stopped learning Bubble in games after gen 7
Bulbasaur - Lv 9 Leech Seed (gen 9)
Charmander - Lv 4 Ember (gen 9)
Squirtle - Lv 13 Bubble (gen 7)
Turtwig - Lv 13 Razor Leaf (gen 9)
Chimchar - Lv 15 Fury Swipes (gen 9)
Piplup - Lv 15 Peck (gen 9)
Rowlet - Lv 1 Tackle (gen 9)
Litten - Lv 21 Fire Fang (gen 9)
Popplio - Lv 6 Disarming Voice (gen 9)
Something fun: Peck is the most common move for Piplup to have in the TCG! It also had Peck on its first appearance card in Space-Time Creation! I don’t believe Piplup has ever had Tackle in the TCG off the top of my head.
Only the most recent card(s) in Phantasmal Flames, but far from what Piplup is remembered for
RIP Pikachu cameo collectors.
I doubt any Pikachu cameo collectors worry about a FA Bulbasaur card, considering the amount of Pokémon trophies and Pokémon Illustrator featuring a Pikachu cameo. ![]()

But the OCD!
Looks like TPC listened to my request! Confirmed that they read e4 for suggestions. ![]()
Early openings confirm you get a complete connected gen starter trio from each First Partner Illustration pack (3 cards)
For Species Collectors: These cards ACTUALLY EXIST PHYSICALLY in Latin American Spanish.
I saw this Charmander in a Facebook group (someone was searching the Charmander, but the image is enough evidence to confirm that they actually exist in this language … I was unsure because not every product gets release in Latin American Spanish)
Go to update your spreadsheets!!!

These sold out so fast around me.. Do we know if there are plans on more waves of these? Or will these be a limited release.
