This may be the happiest that I’ve ever seen Cubone. We need more happy Cubone.
I wasnt terribly excited for this set, but seeing all this fanastic art over the last few days has kinda got me pumped! Love to see Kusube and Oswaldo KATO is one of my favourite newer artists! Artists like Kiyotaka Oshiyama and Shinya Komatsu are great too.
Forget chase cards, just give me the common/ uncommons
This is what i’m planning on doing, opening some products, buying the rest of the bulk and making a binder set of the regular set since the commons and uncommons are so good looking, don’t mind opening some art rares to add after them but most likely won’t buy any no matter how good looking they are since for me this set is about that pokedex order of one each

I just realized that the cards set numbers matches the Pokemon’s Pokedex number! Not sure if it’s been mentioned here before but I think it’s genius. I was thinking they’d lose the great opportunity to do so but they didn’t. So happy with that, a full set is going to look so satisfying.

Holy totoro how cool looking card that is
yeah i believe i mentioned it in the OP. definitely a nice touch for collectors
have we seen any repeating artists yet? (as in the same artist drawing multiple different lines)
GIDORA drew Charmander, Charmeleon and Bill’s Transfer
That’s about it I think
i’m wondering if pokemon is going to use a unique artist for every line. that would be an insane addition to the collectability of this set… a snapshot of the artists of pokemon in the year 2023
We’ll have to see what happens with the AR/SAR lines, less than 5 weeks to go now
