Wanted to write Interesting choice to start the Scarlet & Violet era with 151, but apparently this just launches alongside their actual first SV set (see the announcement on their website [here](https://www.pokemon.cn/tcg/product/2024122201.html)). Bold strategy to more or less launch three differently themed sets on the same day I’ve gotta say… ---

They are certainly rushing to ensure all players in Mainland China will have the same cards as Japanese (and the rest of the world) before Worlds 2025 ---

The pack art is really nice (could be better if Mew were the lead) and I much prefer this style to the English / Japanese version. ---

I’ve personally had good experience with Imagined Youth Collectibles for Chinese products in the past. But there’s of course also the option to buy from China with proxy shipping services, ebay and other stores like PokiPair or Yonko TCG (and I’m sure more). ---

The background pokemon in the Pika ARs and the pokemon featured on this booster artwork overlap; maybe they are part of a story ![b2f1ebae9541f4f627e1c94c8e13320962453d6a-thumb-351x631-26386](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/6/a/6a8fcb8925132d1e881b50189c67fab1e181b630.png) For example: ![Screenshot_20241223_103721_Firefox](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/c/3/c38496cfb9b3097e7ac913ba97526f17c7358b3a.png) ![b2f1ebae9541f4f627e1c94c8e13320962453d6a-thumb-351x631-26386](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/8/9/89fbd355d20877c2bc7d03f3bba5f37f17b60fab.png) This could mean that there will also be one or multiple Pikachu ARs featuring squirtle, eevee and jigglypuff. ---
