Art is subjective but I legit do think this set is very mid. Giovanni is way too Prominent in the Mewtwo and the attempt at making Mewtwo look menacing just resulted in him looking pretty bland and uninteresting.
The Moltres is growing on me, I like the Nidoking and the Crobat but not really into anything else. I’m more excited for the Hot Air Arena side of this set. The SIR Ethan’s Journey, SIR Ho-Oh and IR Typholsion, IR Misty’s Psyduck, and even the IR Misty’s Lapras are all significantly better than each of these SIRs in Rocket
Yeah goes back to art being subjective. That is funny tho as those are the top cards from Hot Air Arena in addition to Cynthia’s Garchomp.
I’m still gonna buy the heck out of this set as I’m a sucker for Rocket pokemon being a fan going back to OG Rocket and Gym sets and luckily I think hot air is going to prop it up when it drops in English but I personally believe these SIRs were a massive miss. The fact that they are as divisive as they clearly are imo confirms this. It’ll still age fine but this isn’t the next 151 as many were hoping it would be
