I will continue to update this as the next selections are made by the judges

[jaxlax21]

Shocking amount of my favorites got the axe.

[lyleberr]

A lot of my favorites stayed in but I will admit I lost the plot about halfway through and forgot the theme and chose what i liked. I am still surprised so many non-pukachu/charizard/eevee entries remained.

[ddk]

My guess is they wanted to keep an equal amount of entries for each Pokemon. Sounds like a very TPC thing to do.

[inertgeometry]

my pick still in it

[cyberurchin]

Our chalk Absol friend is still in it which I’m kind of surprised about

[joponnes]

I was kinda surprised to see the red moon absol eliminated, that felt like a judges pick to survive instead of some of the more freestyle ones. I’m happy to see the gotch melmetal still going strong bit i highly doubt it’s possibilities for awards if they honour the theme even slightest. Or if some of the judges like to regularly raise from water steaming while surrounded by chains i’ll gladly buy the actual promo card of it

[inertgeometry]

another one i’m excited has a chance

[Dirge]

Fat Pikachu lives!!!

[koala]

Hang in there, Caterpie

[inertgeometry]

i feel like they’ll be hired in the future regardless of placement

[cyberurchin]

Caterpie is cooked

[bk2021]

What were all the ones that we had in the top 75? that missed TPC’s top 100?

[wooltchi]

The range in art styles and creativity is a lot better than the last illustration contest. I’m a lot more optimistic we’ll get actually cool looking cards winning this time instead of the technically good but bland winners of previous years.

I’m very sad my favorite pikachu didn’t make it though.

[bk2021]

Would be nice if they hired this artist anyway since the style is unique.

[brendantheclayboy]

I wouldn’t hold your breath, but I do agree there are more quality ones than last year in the top 100 and it’s always good to be optimistic. So help me lawd if they pick 3 bland ones. But yes, the fact that that pikachu got chopped over half the ones that stayed is crazy. At least the other half of pika’s are solid though.

Here’s my hope. That at least one or two among these place in the top 3.

There’s a few others I’m not stoked on, but I wouldn’t be mad about getting in there either, like Nathan Charizard or fat pikachu for example

[c0ll3ct0r]

As far as I’m concerned, this is what’s left.

[inertgeometry]

some solid choices

[tcgmaine]

These are my favorites for each Pokemon based on what is left while also trying to keep in mind the theme. There are definitely some other favorites I’d also be happy to see get selected!
