I know I’m a huge fan of Light Dragonite, because that nose would’ve been an automatic 0/10 with any other card.
ngl, i’m kinda shocked that TRR DDnite is winning atm. good job everyone
The Silver Deck holo has the same whole-card glitter effect as CoroCoro Shining Mew, just complimenting the best angry edgy midnight pose Dragonite has of any card
I missed out on voting the last few weeks due to life/busy-ness, but glad I’m back for this round! I didn’t think I was a big Dragonite (pls don’t be mad lol, I know there’s lots of Dragonite fans here ) but I actually liked/voted for a lot of these cards! I am pleasantly surprised and definitely appreciate Dragonite more
eta: I like the new voting format/layout!
What this thread showed me is that overall quality of Dragonite art has taken a nosedive what happened? Other popular Gen 1 Pokémon like Gengar also have classic early era arts but then managed to continue the high quality streak.
the era of CGI full arts
Can’t put all the blame on them… The HGSS and BW Era are also rough imo
Dragonite fell off
That holo makes it look a lot better. Something about cosmos.
I limited myself to just 5 picks in the end.
If we’re doing Dragonite, I bid that we do Gyarados next. XD
But damn how do the old school arts beat 90% of the modern. They need to lay off the 3D effects.
gyarados was my next pick actually!
Me at the beginning of the poll: “Oh no, I’m gonna vote for every single card! Can I do that?”
Me barely having to stop scrolling once I hit the middle of the poll: “Never mind. We’re good.”
I didn’t vote for TRR but I can appreciate that it sorta looks like the Gen 1 sprite from a different angle, especially with the angry look.
Once you get past EX era, the art just nosedives. Other than the SWSH alt art.
I’ve noticed that a lot of times i vote for cards i own even though i haven’t deliberately bought that card but instead opened it or gotten in a lot, even though the artwork wouldn’t be that amazing by any regular standards. I guess that’s why i have hard time selling even cards that don’t directly belong in any of my collection goals since i apparently grow fond of art i have and regularly look
5 cards with no votes atm. Fossil winning which is very surprising not. Anyhow it’s got my vote aswell.
its such a great classic
Yes please Gyarados!
Dragonite’s been done dirty the last several iterations…
reminder to vote if you haven’t already! there have been too many people who post right after the poll closes saying that they missed it
