Simplified Chinese-exclusive SWSH 'Pokémon GO' Cards

[koala]

With Pokémon GO not existing in China and illustrations of certain cards in the JP set S10b Pokémon GO being co-licensed with Niantic, new illustrations emerge so they could be included in the upcoming catch-up Simplified Chinese sets. This is a gallery of ‘Pokémon GO’ cards releasing thus far:

We got robbed on venusaur, alolan rattata and bibarel

[ragingkraken]

We really did. The Chinese versions look way better. On the other hand, I prefer our Radiant Eevee more. This new one looks like what you’d see on fakes with “original art”

In addition to this, cards from cs5aC & cs5bC also have Reverse Holo variants
(This info might be useful for the ones that are Species Collectors)

[Poke-Katsu]

Hello, great post! Being a ‘card art not released in Japan’-collector, I have been trying to get some more information about this set…

I was hoping there would not be too many ‘new art’ cards, but with the addition of reverse holos, it seems there could be a bunch… assuming that to be true, my CBA leads me to believe it would be a better option just to buy a box and try my luck than buy all the singles from the start.

Is anyone here able to recommend a good proxy (one you have experience with) that could get boxes to me relatively quickly?

Thank you in advance!

P.S. - @koala Thank you for the post! May I ask where you got those scans (?) from? I am try to get a comprehensive list of all of the new art cards.

P.P.S. - @dromanyte Those screenshots you posted are so clear! Are they from a website, or an app?

They’re screenshots courtesy of @rabby250

[Poke-Katsu]

Good stuff, thank you!

Hi @Poke-Katsu !!!
Thanks for the tag!!! These screenshots don’t come from a website. They come from WeChat.
Pokémon China has a Microprogram inside WeChat where they post Card Lists & News. You must have a WeChat account in order to have access to them.

I’ll start working on the images by the end of the month - start of July …
If you don’t want to install WeChat, I post content related to the microprogram in my Twitter account

Glad you’ve liked them!!!

[Poke-Katsu]

Thank you for the information! That is a lot of help!

That 2nd blastoise is great.

[dromanyte]

Thanks for sharing!!!
Both S-Chinese Blastoise look awesome!!!
WeChat Miniprogram hasn’t included those cards yet … They’ll launch the card lists soon!!!

Hey ! Is there any chance that you can help me verify my wechat account in order to register ? Apparently I need a friend otherwise I am not allow to get in…

[Sleepingfatboi]

That moltress is straight fire

[dromanyte]

Hi!!! Thanks for your message!!!
I’m afraid, but I can’t help anyone to verify their WeChat account …
It’s not because I don’t want … It’s because to have access to help people registering their account, they ask you to meet certain requirements (requirements that I do not meet btw)

One of those requirements are having Weixin Pay activated for 3 months (Requirement I do not meet btw)

I’ve been asked to help register WeChat accounts in the past, but I can’t help due to the reasons previously mentioned. What I can do is searching cards and other things (if you want me to search for a specific card, Pokémon or illustrator, let me know via DM or via Discord)

Thank you for understanding

[trainerjack]

They did Radiant Blastoise justice here. That yellow background on the original has never set right with me.

[Dracaubob]

Oh okay too bad, thanks for your answer tho !
I will try and find a way to access it then because I need to be able to know every new releasing cards for my content.

Anyway thanks a lot, have a good day

[dromanyte]

You need someone that meet all the requirements WeChat asks.
Good luck trying to search a person who helps you.

I bought bibarel for my Sowsow collection, such a nice artwork, also got a reason for purchasing one of the unique chinese reverse holo patterns
