Maybe Pokémon actually fighting each other instead of staring each other angrily? But then again, maybe that’s too violent for modern Pokémon…

I would do a second run of Prime Cards.

More dynamic poses that relate to the lore of pokemon! Gengar floating through a wall and peeking out halfway with a mischievous look upon it’s face as a trainer walks by. Pikachu holding hands in a ring and calling down a thunderstorm. Drifloon whisking a child through the clouds

I’m mostly sick of this “coming out from the frame” pose


Just let the pokemon do anything else (gliding, jumping, fighting..) but inside the artwork box and let some room around to breathe, like it was with ex or lv.x. It would be 100% less repetitive and more cool anyway

That is why I collect only ex cards for Pokemon I really like. But those are the action poses for little boys. I am sure they will keep them.

Byakhee byakhee fly me through space. Take me away, far from this place. Byakhee byakhee what can I do. To go for a ride with you?

I think that more prominence should be given to Jynx and also to the water element :droplet: it would really be more lively, the fire types are boring Pokémon.
