Themed cards (My festival themed collection, and ISO)

[ambored]

Hello!
I wanted to know if anyone has any pretty specific themes in their colleciton? Not just a specific pokémon a specific set, but something that you like.

I really like the idea of season collections, there are a few nice Christmas themed cards that would go into a winter set.

So, I am on the hunt specifically for Japanese festival themed cards, I only have a few so far:

(I also have the festival lead dipplin but I can’t add more pics!)

Some of them are more festival themed than others, but I’m mostly going for things that have Japanese themes/stalls/festival food, even fireworks!

If anybody has any fun collection, please do share!

Or if you have any festival themed cards, I’d love to know about those as well! Any and all suggestions would be amazing (even ones that are super rare/promos/impossible to get!)

I also picked this one up recently:

But I’m undecided on if I want to give it to my boyfriend, or keep it for myself. I love the temple in the background!

Seaking from Prismatic Evolutions and Swirlix from Twilight Masquerade also have the Festival Lead ability:

N’s Plan SIR SV Black Bolt with ferris wheel in the background:

Alola Friends SM-P 401:

Simplified Chinese for Alola Friends is a more affordable option (I have this version and the textures are amazing).

Keep the Poliwhirl if you like it!

Virtually (in the App) I started a Traditional Japan collection quite similar. There I have added a few cards for the art style. The Pikachu and Cramorant of Mitsuhiro Arita for example. But most of the cards so far are based on festivals, clothing and architecture.

Other ideas:

• Sleepy/sleeping Pokemon

• Cards very likely inspired by Lovecraft (not many so far)

• Cozy cards (Cuddling, nice homes and fireplaces, etc.)

• Founding of your own academy (Plan a curriculum, hire teachers and other staff)

• Pokemon based on Yokai + additional informations about the Yokai

• collections with: sun, moon & stars, snow, rain, food, etc.

Ive been on the hunt for those sleeves, any of them!

I’ll check all of those cards out, thank you so much for the suggestions!

Edit: I forgot to add, Yes I have the festival grounds card! Honestly that card was one of the reasons I wanted to start the collection, weirdly enough!

[ambored]

Oh, N’s Plan is PERFECTION!

I also love the seaking and swirlix, I’ll absolutely add those to my collection asap!

Alola friends is also beautiful, I was aiming for only japanese/english in my collection but I may have to make an exception for this one!

There is no Jesus stuff in this card. It’s just Easter.

@Ragdajin

There is no Jesus stuff in this card. It’s just Easter

… brother, do you know what Easter is celebrating?

[Ragdajin]

Easter obviously has pagan roots. Only these are depicted on the card.

[ambored]

I think regardless of the original meaning, as a festival/celebration (especially in a country like Japan with less of a christian population) it definitely has evolved past that!

But yeah, I’m down for the pagan roots

Regarding Japan’s enthusiasm for KFC at Christmas they could have a promo card.

[wooltchi]

Ironically indonesian, not japanese. I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if Japan did do a KFC promo as well considering their dominos promos. Theres also pizza hut and 7/11 promos.
