Hi ! I know that prime cards are not very appreciated, but I still believe that some of them are pretty cool. I personally love Lanturn, Feraligatr and Ursaring. What is your ranking ? Here is mine : ![Capture d’écran 2025-08-11 à 15.01.25](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/c/d/cd2224d30a4485fcaf78a7775ae99bc2b11d925d.jpeg) [https://tiermaker.com/create/rank-all-pokmon-prime-1355459](https://tiermaker.com/create/rank-all-pokmon-prime-1355459) ---

Honestly they look better than almost all CGI half arts that came after them. They are more cohesive than all of them for sure with a stronger design aesthetic and style. ---

I don’t collect them personally, however here is my tier list! ![my-image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/c/a/ca11ccfa60c2c3474e2608da85f016a6287fd6fc.jpeg) ---

I’ve always thought the Primes were a good aesthetic idea, but the boring CGI poses didn’t take full advantage of the “mysterious/menacing” vibe. Only Gengar & Mew pulled it off properly with posing, lighting & colours IMO. ![Screenshot_20250811-135804-420](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/3/c/3c5b0902d199cf60f3934b3c42e40bc1ce69217a.png) ---

Not gonna do a tier list, I just really don’t like them lol. Artistically they feel lazy, but also feels like a waste for the rarest pulls for the HGSS block to be these. Again Gen 2 gets shafted. TPC Try to give Gen 2 proper treatment challenge!!! (IMPOSSIBLE DIFFICULTY) ---

Prime cards don’t even deserve the recycling bin. Send them straight to hell. ---

I got a prime steelix that I love. In “totally perfect” condition. @ddk can vouch lol But on the topic, I think Prime Cards are some of the most hit-or-miss cards I’ve seen. Some are really cool, like the Lanturn, but others are… ---

I think they’re really boring and uninspired. Back in the day, I could have bought the JP Daisuke Umbreon Prime PSA 10 for $400-$500. The only reason I regret not buying it is because of money. I still don’t like the card. ---

I wish I liked them more, but overall I view them as a blemish on an otherwise stellar era. ![IMG_4883](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/7/5/75e7f610b407595ef5ff7df25d6b0dbfeac1a6d6.jpeg) ---

Just like others, I’m not a huge fan. If I had to rank the Prime cards alongside other cards, they’d almost 100% end up in the D row. But, since it’s just the Prime cards, I ranked them relative to one another. Even so, I couldn’t put any into the S row.. This time the rows themselves aren’t ordered (they’re in release order instead). ![x Prime Tier list](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/7/4/7429c7e5564a89fe666fc9dd9608f3c90177fbe1.jpeg) Greetz, Quuador ---

Pokemon is like Metroid, the prime series was goated. ![image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/e/5/e59387caa9770e367e1d60cf5417ba49536d3b3b.jpeg) ---
