Do we know if they’re going to clog up the secret slot in a box with rainbow cards yet? If these are the only cards that will occupy the secret rare slot then I might finally open up a box or two, Deoxys and Moltres are easily two of my favorite arts of all time!

that’s what I think but fomo and trauma from 2020-21 short supply still seem to make people do irrational decisions…
more irrationality and the longer it takes to have price readjust ( we saw it with UPC zard that likely going to sink soon below $100)
Be patient & $$ you shall save
Another prominent artist debut:
Amelicart’s portfolio ranges from Pikmin art to key visuals to merchandise art to children’s picture books. They also illustrated the Grookey concept card in 2021 Illustration Magazine. Versatile and extremely recognisable

still eagerly awaiting to see if the chicorita artist gets a card
The Trainer cards are great. Looks like they will be the equivalent of Kouichi Oyama’s (OOYAMA) Trainer cards in Tag All Stars. Will be picking up those for sure.
Speaking of which where is OOYAMA?! Surely he will be there somewhere.
Wait no way, Hungry Clicker is doing Pokemon TCG art now!!!
If you follow competitive Smash Bros. or other FGCs they’re a legendary artist that will often draw a tournament winners’ character. Many players consider it one of the highest honors to have their mains drawn by Hungry Clicker.
Absolutely insane to have them!

Nagano
Nagano has released collaborative merchandise for Pokémon back in 2018 and 2019. They’re well known for the Joke Bear LINE stickers
Simisear’s pose pays tribute to the fan art made after Park Se-Jun (winner of the 2014 Pokémon World Championships VGC Masters Division), who used Pachirisu holding a Sitrus Berry

Im no Japanese expert, but I’ve gathered that Pokemon names are typically (potentially always?) Written in Katakana. There is hiragana for the attacks, as well as a little bit of kanji, but it always seems to be accompanied by furigana (additional kana to aid pronounciation) because theyre intended for children, who may not know a lot of kanji. Thats my understanding, but again, not an expert, maybe someone with more knowledge could jump in! Im pretty sure the Japanese kana are phonetic, but kanji are not, so hopefully this makes sense lol! I know you didnt really ask, sorry for the wall of text, i just like talking about language 
Aside from this, so happy to see Kusube got a special art card, easily one of my fav artists. Regigigas towing around an island on its back is pretty legendary tbh

Thank you for the explainer, I know a little bit of Japanese and enjoy linguistics so this was an interesting read. Cheers.

Kusube’s art style with dense vegetation is a slam dunk. Yes I’m referring to vending series.
