From Dogasu’s Backpack:
The translated text can be seen on Dogasu’s site, although it’s nothing particularly groundbreaking. Mostly I find it interesting that most of the artwork for the Pokemon changed in the actual Base Set, Charmander especially.
Super fascinating - thanks for the share! Oh man the thought of these cards having been printed somewhere at some point for previewing…hnnnng
Exactly what I was thinking.
That’s pretty awesome, now that I see these concepts I am happy they went with the yellow-ish border for Japanese cards.
Two thoughts:
I could totally dig that white border.
This would have convinced me to buy them.
This would be a cool idea for a set maybe for the 50th anniversary or similar, I have to say that the white border does make it look a bit unfinished - but yeah would be cool and Nintendo likes doing reprint sets with little to no change in the card art lol
I’ll be 55/6 by the time Pokemon hits it’s 50th anniversary.
Yeesh.
I’ll be 54ish and ready for the next Pokemon installments!
Wow that silver is interesting. I think it looks cool in the preview.
I think the yellow looks epic as well.
