Zapdos: Hidden Fates 44/68 (although I also like the Pokémon Rumble Zapdos with its little beak )
Moltres: WotC #21 promo / Japanese Pokémon Web 043/048 (big surprise there, haha)
Dratini: Dragon Majesty 34/70 (haven’t seen this artwork before, but it looks amazing - EX Delta Species 66/113 is a close second)
Dragonair: Base Set 18/102, although Dragonair has a few more amazing artworks
Dragonite: Legends Awakened 2/146
Mewtwo: Shining Legends 78/73 (without Mewtube this would have been so hard to choose… some other amazing ones: WotC #12 promo; BW-P Battle Carnival Jumbo promo; Mewtwo & Mew GX tag team SM191 promo; etc.)
Mew: Hidden Fates 32/68 (another pretty difficult to choose one, but there is just something about this cute Mew I really like - some other amazing ones: Japanese CoroCoro Shining Mew; Japanese 033/P McDonald’s promo; Mewtwo & Mew GX tag team SM191 promo again; Ancient Mew; etc.)
Chikorita: Expedition Base Set 100/165 (with the Generations - Radiant Collection RC1/RC32 as close second)
Bayleef: Lost Thunder 7/214
Meganium: Neo Genesis 11/111
Cyndaquil: Neo Genesis 57/111
Quilava: Neo Genesis 46/111 (most of Quilava’s artwork are a bit lackluster imo, even though I do like the design of the Pokémon itself quite a lot)
Typhlosion: SM185 promo
Totodile: EX Unseen Forces 78/115 (Totodile is such a happy Pokémon, so it also has a lot of nice artworks: Neo Genesis 81/111; Expedition Base Set 134/165; HeartGold & SoulSilver 86/123; Phantom Forces 15/119; Japanese Movie Commemoration Random Pack 006/022; etc.)
Croconaw: 009/T promo (another artwork I hadn’t seen before, but which looks amazing)
Feraligatr: Expedition Base Set 12/165
Sentret: POP Series 7 16/17
Furret: Neo Genesis 35/111 (although I also like the Aquapolis 48/147 and HeartGold & SoulSilver 21/123 artworks, I’ve always liked the Neo Genesis artwork, and it also gives me a nostalgic feeling. I remember I lost my Neo Genesis Futtet as a kid, so when I came back collecting five years ago, the Furret as well as the Legendary Collections reverse foil Moltres which I once traded away as a kid, were one of the first cards I bought.
Oh btw, @pokemontrader . You’ve created a dilemma for me, haha. I actually want to start saving money a bit again after I’ve made a lot of expensive purchases, but thanks to your series I kinda want to replace all cards in my national index collection with my favorite artworks one day, rofl…
Does anyone else just sit there and think how weird some pokemon look after doing this?
Looking at 20+ cards of certain pokemon and I’m like wow it looks very… weird xD
Croconaw had horrible cards to pick from, but I had a very difficult time with Furret
