Wait…why the fuck is Simplified getting exclusive SV cards?
Yeesh.
Actually, yeah 151 and that Arcanine but you’d think that as it got closer to being fully caught up, they wouldn’t keep making exclusives. Annoying since both the Maushold and Rika are great art.
They’re in a far better position than TPCi to commission exclusive illustrations with existing JP cards, since after all their cards are also printed in Japan. I think this is just the start, they’re still almost 2 years behind. I’m keen to see what further surprises await us when they get to Terastal Festival, Battle Partners, Heat Wave Arena, Glory of Team Rocket and the BW sets
It goes far beyond that. Pokemon Go got a lot of exclusives and others along the way. Simplified Chinese is doing things
This is the way. I think a lot of people thought they would stop the special arts and holos once they got out of SwSh but look how those and the early SV have gone and tell me there wont be more
Simple Chinese plans always been to be everyone’s number 2 and I feel they will slowly get there.
wow great gets, especially with how bad the reported print quality for the run was!
I know it was tough to find great and nice cards for this set. Glad I have them for the PC. 
Ahh! Why weren’t these in Prismatic
Cool pull-tab sleeves btw
Thanks mate
What was bad about the print quality?
i believe it was print lines and really bad centering for a print run done in Japan
