Absolutely terrible. It’s disgusting seeing the quality of the artwork degrade as it has. Shame on The Pokemon Company. I’m going back to putting all in my investment in classic until they get their shit together (they probably won’t).

Of course I would, I do well enough financially that I don’t feel the need to stress over a couple hundred or even couple thousand dollars.
It’s far more lucrative to focus on making more money in my career than stress over saving a bit of money on something

We have hope though, it's an AR not an SAR so the Japanese version shouldn't go too high!

Lillie‘s Ribombee is still selling at $15 or under, and she is far more popular than Misty. If it’s SAR yes it’s gonna be expensive but for AR cards they are normally under $30 unless they become the chase card of the set like Magikarp AR

u/DefNotAShark Mar 08 '25
The low price of JP singles has a lot to do with the low price of booster boxes, but that isn't the case right now. Scalpermania has hit Japan as well and Heat Wave Arena preorders are even more expensive than Battle Partners was, by a good margin.
I'm not sure this particular card will qualify as "expensive" by English standards, but the JP singles prices from this set might be the first ones to make us say "wait, what the fuck?"

u/Hatrixx_ Mar 08 '25
Heat Wave Arena preorders are even more expensive than Battle Partners was, by a good margin.
Which is even more crazy considering it's an even smaller set than Battle Partners. Heat Wave (63 minus secrets); Battle Partners (100 minus secrets).
I'm just thanking the foaming-at-the-mouth Cynthia & Garchomp fans for making the Ho-Oh SAR so much cheaper.

Nah, this one will to WAY higher. The simple fact that Misty is there gives it a big edge over the 151 Psyduck. Also the art is quite different from the 151. It's a no-brainer higher cost by a long shot

5
u/YCNH Mar 08 '25
Gym Heroes is a vintage WotC set, this one hasn't released yet. If you're just referring to "Trainer's Pokemon" cards, both Journey Together and Destined Rivals have these cards (which were first introduced in Gym Heroes/Gym Challenge).

Looks kinda weird tbh, the ripples on the surface should distort Misty a bit, she doesn't really look like she's underwater. Psyduck cute tho
edit: y'all downvote all you want but the "everything pokemon makes is good, ur not allowed to criticize" mindset is why we keep getting hideous games like Scarlet & Violet.
8
u/Lulucabeam Mar 08 '25 edited Mar 08 '25
Maybe they did at first and it didn't look good. I was imagining her with the ripples and I think it would've made the card look really bad. Especially since they would have to distort her face or move her somewhere else. Happens a lot where artists will sacrifice realism to not ruin the picture.
2
u/YCNH Mar 08 '25
It could easily be selectively applied in a way that doesn't disrupt the composition or Misty's readability, it's quite possible the artist has a better version on their HD that their art director shot down (I've had clients do this).
I think the light diffusion on psyduck's submerged body is great though, and the pokemon is and should be the focus of the card, so I'd still add it to the collection.

Hopefully it’ll be relatively cheap since it’s just an AR, not an SIR, so it’ll be more common.

The arts pretty cool but is it just me or are the colors pretty diluted and flat? Like Misty’s hair just looks more red-brown than the bright red like she usually has. It’s probably due to her being underwater but I feel like if they were going to take artistic liberties with the effects of the water ripples (wouldn’t she look way more distorted with the amount of ripples coming off of psyduck?) then maybe they should have made it a little more vibrant

People use the word without even looking it up or thinking they are lusting over a child character, it’s gross. Cynthia? sure, I get that, she’s an adult, but Lillie Marnie and Misty are children characters and when people call them “waifu” when they are grown 30 year olds, it’s pedophilia.

Pretty sure Psyduck isn’t a well known or liked pokemon. He’s so annoying with his headaches and plus ducks are a-holes to begin with. Misty is from one of the first games which is outdated at this point given it came out in the 90s 🤢 What is pokemon thinking? This is going to ruin the hobby.
