E4's Favorite Dragonite TCG Card [Poll Closed]

[inertgeometry]

Happy 2024 to everyone first and foremost!

As I promised, I am back with a new poll after the week off, and as mentioned here, I am going to try doing this differently than before

How this will work:

• cards are listed in chronological order base on jp release (more or less)

• each card will have a picture followed by its number, year released, and name as the option to vote for it.

• vote for any card that you like.

• the votes will be hidden until the poll will end on Sunday, and then I will share the results, counting down from the least selected to the most.

This simplifies everything and IMO gives a more true breakdown of which cards are liked by our active community more or less than others of that type (in this case, Dragonite)

Note: I apologize for the inconsistent images. I'm pulling these from a google search for the most part to have a relatively consistent size/H x W ratio. You're more than wecome to search these on your own if you'd like different images. There are some cards that are holo in different releases/languages which may skew some people's votes.

Good luck to your favorites doing well. I know mine probably wont

The results are in!!

oh wait, i just realized we’ll know how many people voted for each bc it’ll say how many people participated for each option

I’ll try to figure out something else for the next one…

@inertgeometry

You may want to include the holo variant here. Dragonite FB 018/DPt-P Holo Japanese Beat of the Frontier Rally Promo.

[eeveeteam]

I voted 6 vintage and 1 mid era. Modern kinds sucks for Dragonite

[inertgeometry]

[inertgeometry]

yeah aside from the SA

[Dyl]

Times like these I wish we had a dislike button

[inertgeometry]

that would be like saying i should put the non-holo dark dragonite error instead of just some one i found off google (if i was including english images)

[Dyl]

The Beat of the Frontier Rally Promo is the more desirable of the two artworks because it is holo and has the stamp.

-_- I guess we can agree to disagree.

[inertgeometry]

i don’t disagree that it is more desirable, but if you need all of that just to vote for the artwork, then it’s hard to believe it is a favorite.

[kromaticlanturn]

Always confused when I see such a positive reaction to the Team Rocket Returns Dark Dragonite art. Dragonite looks like it has hydrocephalus. Awful depiction.

[inertgeometry]

its the best dnite tho

[kromaticlanturn]

How? Why? Wha?

[inertgeometry]

its the coolest depiction of him. actually looks intimidating which is hard to achieve with such a derpy sweet boy

[ShinPorygon]

Trainer mag is where it’s at

[kromaticlanturn]

I would rebut that I think the moon in the background and OG holo have more to do with why people would favorably view that art. The Pokemon almost looks like a knock-off, bootleg version of Dragonite.

[inertgeometry]

solid one for sure

[inertgeometry]

could be for many, but not for me. its my favorite dnite artwork easily

[A.P.Speeze]

You are on the wrong side of history.

[Dyl]

I hate you and we can no longer be friends.

Here you go:

What are your unpopular opinions in pokemon?

What is an opinion in pokemon that you have that most people or maybe members of this forum seem to disagree with? Maybe you can change some minds! I don’t want this to turn into any kind of argument so lets not attack each other over opinions on cards. Here are some of mine. Steam seige (and ancient origins but not as much) is not nearly as bad of a set as people say to warrant the memes. I think it just gets hate for being over printed. Legendary collection is a bad set, every c…
