Mfw I realize I have to wait until 2028 for a Mankey or Primeape AR

Mfw it’s Chimchar

I’m going to have to start a Chinese exclusives binder, these card arts are so good!

The Rapidash reminds me of

This is awesome! I was hoping they’d do something TCG-wise for the year of the horse since Ponyta is so popular. Excellent notification to receive when coming back here after the holidays

Was just coming to post the same thing i originally thought it might even have been intentional but on closer look perhaps it’s not similar enough for that

Hey @koala now that CSV7 puts Simplified Chinese caught up to Twilight Masquerade equivalent (May 2024), they are about 1.5 years behind for catching up. I should have graphed the progress, would have been cool to see. Probably means we are 2-3 years away from Simplified Chinese being on the same schedule as Japan/English, right? That would be in the middle/end of Gen 10 territory. I wonder if the goal is to be on a 1:1 schedule come Gen 11.

Cramming 27 SV5M/SV5K/SV5a ARs into Gem Pack vol. 4 and having the exclusive AR Ponyta based on SV9a Ponyta (not either Ponyta from 2024) makes me think they will speed things up to finish SV by the end of this year. That might allow potentially 1.5 years of Mega sets to be covered in 2027

CSV8C 璀璨诡幻

CSV8C 255/207 SAR Carmine (illus. OKACHEKE)

• ft. her brother Kieran
• Alternative illustration of SAR Carmine from SV6 Mask of Change

---

• CSV8C has non-Stellar cards from SV5a Crimson Haze, SV6 Mask of Change, SV6a Night Wanderer, SV7a Paradise Dragona and SV8 Super Electric Breaker - they are definitely speeding up now

No thoughts just the teal mask was so good

[Drew12]

That’s a really great slice of life illustration, I think it may even be better than the original. I never realized she has two-tone hair?

[koala]

Her concept art, both SARs have her jinbei outfit

[emolga_pachirisu]

Wow that carmine has such great vibe on par with the original sar

[pokemonunboxing]

Is there a list like this for Korean cards as well or do they not have any exclusive arts other then the new Ditto? thats the only one that comes to mind

[eeveeteam]

I can’t think of any exclusive artworks besides Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese. Excluding our 2nd favorite butterfly across several languages and the Korean Ditto you mentioned.

Edit: and Pikachu around the world collection

[DodgxRs]

Art academy has some no?

[eeveeteam]

English and Japanese, as mentioned, yes

[camrok37]

And Spanish exclusive!

[pokemonunboxing]

And french

[Ratequaza]

And German:

There’s also the Indonesian exclusive Batik promos:

[WailordEnthusiast]

This art used to be exclusive to Korean (Holo) until it was printed in Indonesian and Thai (both non-Holo)

And TC at least has the promo for the opening of the Taipei pokémon center.
