Easy answer: I’d add back the flavour text at the bottom of the cards which was present in Base set up until the Neo sets.

Edit: Have been made aware that they did indeed reintroduce the flavour text in BW and beyond! My new wish is to add them to the missing eras(E-series to HGSS) via time machine

Those have been re-introduced for the BW and later eras over a decade ago, FYI. :slight_smile:

They are missing for the e-Series up to and including HGSS, though.

Did not know this, never mind then! Makes sense I’d think that since like 95% of my collection is from HGSS and back but you’re right.

  • Remove reverse holos and guaranteed holos. I miss when holo actually meant you got lucky.

  • Bring back cosmos holo as the main feature of rare cards, instead of the focus being on the pretty backgrounds of full arts. Holo sparkles are just cooler to me and i like the randomized swirls/orbs/etc. Imagine full arts with cosmos everywhere.

  • Allow artists to draw pokemon off-model like they used to. So many unique depictions back in the day. Seems Komiya still gets a pass to go wild.
