These cards definitely deserve discussion. How do you guys feel about the comic book style text in the illustration? I initially was like B-| But not I am more like

Maybe they will grow on me overtime. What do you guys think?

I don’t like the text on the image and why the text on english cards are japanese and viceversa?

[churlocker]

I don’t mind it when they do something unique. At least these cards have something special about them.

I actually really like the set. Even more so after finishing the games. The illustrations are really nice. Maybe down the road the Blastoise/Venusaur will grow on me.

I am looking forward to mega Charizards release (says every collector).

It’s really cool because taking Japanese, I can read what they say
Whereas the average person needs too look at the Japanese cards… LOL!

I’m mostly into the WotC era Pokemon cards/items, but I must say, that artwork is really cool! I’m definitely a fan!

I really love these cards; I do love the language difference between the two major releases but I do wonder how/what the other languages will do. Curiouser and curiouser. Design wise though I REALLY dig the whole text thing. It’s new and unique and makes them stand out even more than just having a new TCG classing at the front of their name. It goes with the fact that the Mega evolutions are more or less over-the-top and thus fit in well with a more comic like thematic.

M CharizardEX in March next year oorah. I suspect that the deck one will be Mega Charizard X, while perhaps Mega Charizard Y will be in the Wild Blaze set? Hmm…

I’m waiting for that set…
I feel that although collectors and players alike are going to go bonkers for Mega Charizard, it’ll still be an expensive card.

I don’t understand why they didn’t make Full Art Megas.

I find the text in the card art is really cool! Looks badass…BUT I find the rest of the card looks very busy (borders and such), it looks better on the Blastoise than the Venusaur (which just looks whack). Maybe I’m old fashioned haha

pokebeach.com/2013/12/wild-blaze-booster-pack-and-charizard-deck-images Pack art looks epic, even though it´s a 3D render!
They know how to change my mind about buying packs. I´ll definitely pick up some boxes and theme decks of that set.

wild blaze pack it’s simply awesome! I love it

[cujucuyo]

These actually look pretty good, I think it has to do with the fact that they look like Pre-release promos than anything else, but then again, they aren’t… lol, I have mixed feelings about these.

I love seeing onomatopoeia on the illustrations! I’m biased, though, since I co-wrote a book about Japanese sound-effect words.
