finally, after all this time i sorted in my 151 cards. i did not get many boosters back then (no alt art for me :c), but i found the whole series to be gorgeous, even the common cards. which is an opinion i don't hold often about any series! (S&V sucks rn kinda lmao)
but anyway! here is a couple of cards. i wanted to put them all in a bulletin, but the post got too long,,, the photos are mine, hence they can be slightly blurry/misaligned (i have shaky hands). they are also in german, because, well, i'm in germany.
this is not a ranking, i love all of them for different reasons, BUT- yuka morii is my absolute favourite pokemon tcg artist (i hope to one day own all of their cards), so i gasped when i saw this lil dude:
magnemite!
every figurine card is priceless in my book (i like the crocheted ones by asako ito too!)
flareon, wartortle, weedle
i like all of these because of how vibrant they are! my photos probably don't do them justice, but they are magnificent. moreover, the wartortle one reminds me of pokemon mystery dungeon :)
vileplume, haunter, gengar
i like all three because of their distinct artstyle. vileplume is a part of one of my favourite evolution lines too, so i was really happy to see it. tomokazu komiya, who drew haunter and gengar, caught my eye with their style before already. it reminds me of old rpgmaker horror games, in a good way.
farfetch'd, tangela
i liked these two not only besause of their artstyle, but because of the feeling the art gave me. it was like looking at my old illustrated childhood books. i will especially look out for more of aya kusube's art, it gave me a lot of nostalgia.
and that is all! i hope you enjoyed the post. i really wanted to give artists of more common cards some appreciation. i may talk about pokemon cards more in the future :)

aaaa tomokazu komiya's style is so unique! it suits the ghost types really well. and that tangela is so cute :o it's not a pokemon one would usually think about, but it really caught my eye here. great collection!!!
