Here comes the pain.
A Crystal Suicune. A Crystal Onix. These two had their reasons justified each separately and at the right time too and what did we get? Kingdra and Kabutops again. Oak, E4, Red, Blue and one mon from each trainer type example on the Gym and Vs Sets as a full region. Silver’s Ho-Oh, Mewtwo & Lugia!!!1**1…**Legendary Collection Neo to the only reprinted anniversary set that matters. So many art academy illustration participants. Gorochu. Missingno. Beta Wooper. Beta Mr. Mime.
Vending and Coro’s into that thick English 1st edition aromatherapeutic print glory. Reshiram and Zekrom Legend Yin Yang Style from the Neon Genesis Evangelion artist who made Cresselia and Darkrai. ORAS era having the same aesthetic treatment of commodity and respect the HGSS Legend era did by making Gen 4’s conclusion it’s peak. More iconic works of art revised to make the Munch series, a series. Every Tag Team I made on my first post. Did I mention consistent generation Illustrator trophies starting with a Neo Smeargle one? Well on the other end of rarity for consistency is if Sugimori continued with Bandai Carddatass and Topps followed the same way.
Definitely what @mjs61290 and @alakazamthat suggested, those actually hurt. Guessing Marowak was the closest we can imagine.
@kinggr Here. That’s okay as Ttar’s shine palette went to shit after Gen 2. I’m all up for surprises, as long as they’re good and unironically the Crystal Golem and Celebi are some of Arita’s best, some of Pokémon’s best, some of Sports cards best and definitely each of those pokémons best.
@lavendertown rechecking the status of rarities of Sabrina and Koga was a redpill for me just as they were shafted hardest. Those sets surely had the anime in mind and if Sabrina had two Gengars she could have easily had another Alakazam. It’s unsual how many Abras were printed for her but only one for the other members. Not complaining, except I am. Same applies with the mons we all know and love with Koga.
But all know deep down inside our heartgolds who is truly needing the payback compensation most (plus that last @azulryu sentence):
…Pokémon’s inconsistent blackpill what if paintrain keeps on chugging.
