E4's Favorite Chansey (Closed)

[inertgeometry]

This is at the request of @qwachansey. I would like to do these every once in a while in honor of one of our members and give everyone the opportunity to contribute their opinion on which is their favorite artwork/card of the member(s)'s favorite mon. Not sure when I’ll do this next, but I’ve already agreed to do Wailord next whenever that time comes.

In the immediate though, after Chansey is Mewtwo. If you have high quality scans of Japanese Mewtwo cards (especially the earlier years, including prominent cameos), please message me with them.

How this will work:

• cards are listed in chronological order based on first release
• each card will have a picture followed by the option to vote for it.
• vote for any card that you like.
• on Sunday at 2PM Pacific Time, the polls will automatically close. I will edit this post and title to count down from least to most voted, and we will see which cards are E4’s Favorite.

Note: Most of these images are pulled from quick google searches or bulbapedia if they had a large enough file. If you'd like me to replace an image, you're welcome to post it in the comments.

There’s something utterly charming about the most recent 151 print.

[swissorican]

Man, Chansey’s so cute.

[thymeee]

This tierlist shows me that chansey has almost no bad arts, but there are almost no great arts either. I voted for 2 cards only

[inertgeometry]

i guess that’s one benefit of not getting any RR cards (aside from the ex from gen 3)

[lamplamp]

I love and hate these threads because they add to my backlog of cards I want to buy

[inertgeometry]

i like to think that these have a passive effect of teaching people about new cards

[needszeebs]

Theres something about specifically shadowless/ 1st chansey that i just love. The card looks so clean. I also rly like the fusion strike art!

[Charizard1020]

Base Chansey is goat for nostalgia and playability in the card game

[qwachansey]

Blocked and reported

[kromaticlanturn]

Surprised FRLG only has my vote currently. Although, I’m partial to sleeping Pokemon.

[Dyl]

Chansey art has improved over time, unlike Dragonite.

[qwachansey]

Relevant thread about Chansey through the years.

[umjammerdanny]

I don’t want to agree with this but I think I might. I voted for 6 and the rest are forgettable but not bad to me

[Charizard1020]

Dragonite is also cool though

[qwachansey]

Can’t resist the urge to flex as this is the only official Chansey sketch I’ve ever seen by any artist I’d really like to see more Chansey signed sketch cards / shikishi.

[nic]

That psyduck sketch is beautiful!!!

[ddk]

What’s the reason for including cameo appearances in other cards? Not enough options otherwise?

[inertgeometry]

just because

[ddk]

I smell a Cabal conspiracy…
