I always thought it would be cool if they brought the concept of “_____'s Pokemon” back from the Gym and Vs series. For the actual game aspect I think it would be cool if the Pokemon get positive effects if other Pokemon owned by the same trainer were on the board. I think that could be a fun way to change the game up while also being something fun to collect.

Would love to see a full art English Roxie card.
I know there is a koffing from eclipse with her but it’s just not the same.
As a Poison type fan boy. Only having 3 gym leaders represent makes me a little sad.
Have a soft spot in my heart for Sandshrew from episode 8 season 1.
Having him on full art training and showing up Pikachu would make me happy.

My wishes ofc are related to grimer and muk and combining my other collectables with them, shiny grimer and muk are a top priority but let’s see how long they are going to print different shinys. Then i would like tcg to recognise Ash’s muk but that seems like highly inlikely since unlike Red Ash isn’t really hot topic with tcg, even Ash’s pikachu has only gotten few cards. Another one i would love would be a muk card made by Komiya or either grimer or muk made by Sowsow, would love to see a cute versions of them made by her style!

I think they missed a trick with celebrations. Personally would have loved to see a shining charizard or some of the neo chase cards besides shining karp.
Imagine if they printed a set of the first 150 Kanto Pokemon using the pokedex art from the games.
That level of nostalgia bomb would just be insane. They could stylise/embellish the art of course, but imagine having these guys colourised and set to full art pokemon cards. You could have hand-drawn, CGI, pixel art… wow.
Just imagine…

I mean… I have cards that refer to him as Pikablu
Ssoooooo… I know we all really hate proxy cards… but I couldn’t help but print this out to put next to the painting. I’ve wanted that card for 20 years.

It might not be popular, but I’d like to see a mini set of artworks featuring Pokémon designs that were left on the cutting room floor (i.e. Gorochu, Gyaon, Kurusu). Fully realized drawings of these lost mons would be interesting to see in card form.
Also, Evangelion/Pikachu crossover.
Another thing would be to have more cards actually doing the moves the pokemon has vs just posing. e.g.
I mean, how cool is this?

I’d like a line of new ‘forme’ cards where the following design philosophy is followed:
(This is inspired by the Pokemon Arceus Legends being set way in the past, where certain Pokemon are going to be different because of evolution and changing environemt (see Scyther having a different evo that is no longer in existance))
Pokemon are designed as a ‘Fossil’ designation where they are less developed or different versions of how the Pokemon currently exists. This ties in with my post a couple years ago about my desire to see a Pokemon set in the past where fossils aren’t fossils yet, which the new game will KIND OF do.
Examples:
Blastoise without the cannons on its back
Ghost type Pokemon before they ‘became’ Ghosts
Garchomp still a shark water type, not yet bipedal. (Think Dragon/Water instead of Dragon/Ground)
Some grass types haven’t yet developed their Poison typing so are different
Chansey as a Fighting/Normal type who has not yet developed the physiology to be a nursing/egg carrying type Pokemon
Things of that nature.
If they ever did this it’d have to be a game tie in, they’d never do it solely for the TCG. But I can dream.
Also a Melony/Wicke Tag Team Card.

This probably won’t ever happen, but I would love a Full Art set with scenes from the first season. Pikachu and Caterpie under the moon, Squirtle Squad, stuff like that.

Secret alt-art stadiums done by illustrators who don’t typically do stadiums would be the best

Meganium is my favorite Pokémon so any new Meganium cards would be great! A hand drawn full art illustrated by Naoki Saito, Atsushi Furusawa, or SowSow would probably kill me.

An alt art Metagross or Magnezone, though I think the window has already closed on Metagross unless they randomly reprint and do one in VMAX Climax. I suppose a CHR Metagross with Steven is possible.

more battle scenes between pokemon would be cool. where the focus of the art is on one pokemon and out of focus for the other or some kind of combination like that

Gold star lugia would have been really nice.

They did this for Meiji cards, but it would be so cool to have something similar for holo set cards!

I really want an ‘Ash’ card. Can get Brock and Misty but not Ash, instead they go with Red from the game. They did release Ash’s Pikachu though so they clearly can link to the cartoon instead of just the game characters. Are a couple in Japanese but no Ash in English prints.
