The is the most excited I’ve been for a modern set. This could be soooo good for collectors and TPCi’s bottom line… given their team record, I’m also worried this is going to be scalped like we’ve never seen before.
I’m just praying they choose to make the Umbreon Gold Star a holographic this time around. It does say “Close remakes”, so it feels possible. I’ve been dying for the Japanese Play Promo one, but am utterly priced out of that sadly. I still need to get the original English versions of both Umbreon and Espeon for my collection, but man am I pumped for this set!
I wonder if the “close remakes” of the iconic cards will be straight reprints with the 25 stamp, updated cards with original artwork like in Evolutions, or reimagined artwork like Stormfront “base” Charizard.
I also wonder if Masakazu Fukuda will design the new Gold Stars. It’s not a real Gold Star if it’s not a Fukuda artwork. Lastly, I pray that they will keep the respective original border and holo pattern for the iconic remakes (especially in Japanese)
As for OPs question, I’m hoping for an Espeon Star and maybe some Crystal cards.
Also would love to see Gold Star Salamence, Lucario, Tyranitar, Scizor and Milotic. Not all of them can happen, but even one of them would already be awesome
The cards i would love to see, this is a ultimate pipe dream list and not really remakes:
Tyranitar
Crystal mewtwo
Dark charizard, venusaur & blastoise tag team
Mewtwos pikachu
Ancient arceus (ancient mew layout)
Rockets charizard
Stevens metagross
Surfing/flying snorlax
Shining magikarp & gyarados tag team
(Gold) meowth
Shining dragonite
Players club mew 013/play in english
Regigigis vmax
Poncho pikachu blue eyes white dragon cross
I saw they released pictures of the Venusaur for Japan and it looks pretty dang sweet, wonder if they will all match that holo pattern or if they will all have different holo pattern types. For a card that I want to see brought back I think it would be cool to see Lugia Ex and pretty much everything people have already listed ha.
Just built my own list of mechanics to just see what we could expect vs what’s already confirmed. Let me know if I have made any errors or missed out any mechanics in compiling this. Should be some neat cards on the way looking at the list.
