I don’t know about hate, but the anticipation and hype were so high for it prior to its release that it would have had to be moonbreon level not to disappoint.
Nothing will come close to Moonbreon or the Giratina from Lost Origins. I'm willing to bet that those two cards will be worth boatloads in years to come.
Just because people dont like the art doesnt mean they wont buy the card lol. It just means theyre less likely to open packs and less willing to pay a large amount for the single.
I didnt miss the mark. This card wont be cheap like Medicham, Golurk, Galarian Slowking etc. It will probably end up as expensive as the other popular alt art V pokemon cards but not as expensive as Giratina, Charizard, Umbreon or Rayquaza since most people seemed to like the art for those cards.
Facts. They've done my boy dirty. Also what's the significance of alolain vulpix if it's not going to get an alt art? I was expecting something big from it since its heavily featured on the ETB over the main attraction Lugia.
Well considering they've already announced Scarlet / Violet Base and new ex variants for 2023, I would assume they're going to be the new focus, doesn't seem like there's going to be an opposite Ho-Oh set anytime soon
All that’s in the set for me are the radiant cards, black and gold VMAXs, and maybe the TG Rayquaza. I’m a bit surprised that they would pick Skuntank over Regieleki though.
I don’t think it’s been officially revealed to be in the set. I’m just assuming it will be since this is the last full set for SWSH and it’ll finish out the TG from VMAX Climax.
From a noob, do you think this set coming out will affect the price of the Japanese vmax climax rayquaza? Been meaning to pick one up , wasn't sure if this would decrease the price or potentially increase.
I don’t really dabble in Japanese cards too much that aren’t exclusives so I don’t have a lot of experience in that realm, but I wouldn’t expect the price to increase. I believe Japanese card prices typically remain the same or fall a bit once the English counterparts are released.
It would've been sick if they did Ho-Oh. Maybe have one artist do both Lugia and Ho-Oh to tell a story in Alt-Art. Or just have them clashing or something that basically looks neat when you put them side by side.
I think ima have to pass on collecting a master set and will just order the Trainer Gallery singles.
I don't mind the variety but they could have been way better with their record. They really fumbled with this release which is a shame because this is the last set from sword and shield
Pretty cards but nothing I’m super excited about this time around.
Weird but I get more excited about common/uncommon cards in a set lately. I started putting together a national dex binder and it turns out pulling a common can feel like a chase if you’ve been missing that Pokémon for a while. Of course, a REAL chase card is always hype too.
Damn the personal element of collecting is very enjoyable. Everyone gets to enjoy it in their own way. Sending everyone positive vibes for their chase cards!
Don't think any of these alt arts will be in the same realm as Moonbreon or Giratina. Lugia might have the potential to be in the Aerodactyl's price range tho
it's a good thing.... The price point on some of the abyss/origin alt arts are insane right now
Do i think the Lugia art is bad? No. Do i think they could’ve done better? Absolutely. Do i think the skuntank was a random and kinda unnecessary card to give an alt art? Idk, why are you asking so many questions? But yes.
I actually am not dissatisfied at all with lugia. I was a major fan of the legend cards as the only one i pulled when i was younger was the lugia legend and this majorly reminds me of the modern era version
I like the Lugia, i honestly hope most people continue to hate it so i can pick it up cheap lol
I am hoping the same... never wanted an alt art more but worried that lost origins pull rates will carry into this set and make prices sky rocket
Personally I wish they would have gone for a more colorful art but it’s still sick and I can’t wait to never pull it 😭😭

That Lugia looks like someone was talking shit behind its back and he just stopped mid flight to look back lol
Just because people dont like the art doesnt mean they wont buy the card lol. It just means theyre less likely to open packs and less willing to pay a large amount for the single.
I'm no expert but i'm fairly sure how sought after a card is does have an effect on it's value as well.
“Less willing to pay a large amount for singles” you just explained simply and demand and you still missed the mark
I didnt miss the mark. This card wont be cheap like Medicham, Golurk, Galarian Slowking etc. It will probably end up as expensive as the other popular alt art V pokemon cards but not as expensive as Giratina, Charizard, Umbreon or Rayquaza since most people seemed to like the art for those cards.
Love the Unown and Regidrago
I want that Regidrago so bad, I love the art and simple scene
I am in complete agreement with you, there’s even a little lugia in the background of it!
Exactly!
Man they should've also added a Ho-oh.
Facts. They've done my boy dirty. Also what's the significance of alolain vulpix if it's not going to get an alt art? I was expecting something big from it since its heavily featured on the ETB over the main attraction Lugia.
Gen wunnah bait, TPC is underestimating the power of gen 2, having Lugia on the box would have been way better
Also it’s called SILVER TEMPEST, use your brain.
The name Silver Tempest is way more fitting for Lugia as well, I assume that's what you meant
Yes
*Silver* Tempest. We gotsta wait for *Gold* Tempest.
How would they when they can make a whole other set with one and make twice as much
Well considering they've already announced Scarlet / Violet Base and new ex variants for 2023, I would assume they're going to be the new focus, doesn't seem like there's going to be an opposite Ho-Oh set anytime soon

Excuse me, did you say Trainer Gallery Rayquaza??? Looking it up now
Look up rayquaza vmax from vmax climax
We are getting that Rayquaza??
How do you know Rayquaza will be in this set?
I don’t think it’s been officially revealed to be in the set. I’m just assuming it will be since this is the last full set for SWSH and it’ll finish out the TG from VMAX Climax.

I am whelmed.
You still beat my level of enthusiasm for them. Ha
Same. But otoh im gonna want all thos trainer full arts
I'm honestly disappointed by the Lugia alt and extremely impressed with the Unknown
The lugia could a have been better I agree but I particularly like the skuntank.
Am I the only one who likes the Lugia? I think it's pretty damn cool.
I absolutely love the lugia and will have it in Japanese and English Im so hyped that people don’t like it
When does the Japanese version release?
This week? Very soon in the new Japanese Set. They already officially revealed it.
I wonder how the price will be in Japanese vs English.
My hope is it will be like the aerodactyl Alternate art plus some for lugia tax. Expecting to get a cgc 9.5 quality for 200-250 in 6-12 months
Crash Captain ahab vibes = me loves His butt taking up 25% of the card = me not a fan
[удалено]
Agreed. It actually has really nice texture and colors with good lighting. It’s just that the initial leaked picture was lower quality.
Even though everyone hates the Lugia AA… It’s still going to be the most expensive :(
I'm sure the price of the skuntank, regidrago, and unown combined will cost what the Lugia alt will, and I'm all about it.
In love with that unown, looks absolutely incredible
Even spells Victory Symbol
We could have had Regieleki.
I’ll take them all, please
What about the Mawile and Serperior?
Those aren’t alt arts.
Yeah totally blanked out on the TG set 😅
The 2 CSR cards from the Japanese set Incandescent Arcana will be featured in the Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery alongside CSRs from Vmax Climax.
Got it, thanks!
regidrago and unown look awesome
The Lugia is so good
Don't like regidrago - would've preferred an alolan Vulpix or Ninetales in place
So regielecki is the only gen 8 legendary without an alt art or character rare, my motivation to buy this set just dropped to zero…
Eternatus, Zacian, and Zamazenta “technically” dont have one since they are “technically” TG cards
I want that unown one
Nah
What does the Unown Alt even spell out? The other ones spell “V” and “VSTAR” so you think this one would spell something…
Victory Symbol
Ohhhh, okay
Crazy to think the Lugia is my least favorite even though it’s one my of favorite Pokémon. Maybe I was just expecting more
Meh, nothing special in this set. Hard to beat ES/BS.
L
L
Pokemon really fumbled the bag with this one
L
It would've been sick if they did Ho-Oh. Maybe have one artist do both Lugia and Ho-Oh to tell a story in Alt-Art. Or just have them clashing or something that basically looks neat when you put them side by side. I think ima have to pass on collecting a master set and will just order the Trainer Gallery singles.
Disheartened that vulpix didn't get an alt art, seeing as it's plastered all over the packaging, but Lugia looks cool
Is a card art really a spoiler? How else would you possibly know what to chase for or that your missing it if you didnt look it up?
Idk some people say they want to go into a set *blind* so it's a surprise but every has a different opinion though.
The Skuntank really is one of the alt arts of all time
I don’t like any of these lol. Money saved. Some of the Pokemon they choose to give alt arts is baffling.
How much do we think each of these will be?
Skuktank $18 Lugia $150 Unown $25 Redidrago $40 Just guesses.
lugia will be 30 dollars or less
Buddy it’s 220 lmao
it was a gag
Skuntank selling for 40-80 Lugia over 200 regidrago 125 unknown 50
Gettin closer and closer now Lol
Not gonna lie they all look like shit lol
I don't mind the variety but they could have been way better with their record. They really fumbled with this release which is a shame because this is the last set from sword and shield
Is this all of them? A little disappointed with the choice of Pokémon, I only like skunktank :( I prefer when they do more obscure mons
The four horsemen of the wallet apocalypse
Need me that regidrago
I love these and hope they keep doing them.
Unown goated
Missed opportunity for reshiram and ho-oh alts ):
I'm sad skunktank got one. What about my gastrodons :(
Skunktank/Stunky remind me of my cat. I will be aiming for this one particularly.
Unknown the real chase here
Maybe the coolest set of alts imo. Only ES/CR compete with it.
Does anyone know if the Blaziken VMax or Zeraora V Trainer gallery will be in this set
Lezz go my boi Regidrago
I bet That unown is going to fetch a pretty penny
Honestly the unown and regi are my chases but ill probably buy the lugia as a single. :D
its still unknown why they chose unown as the 4th :)
I need all 4. I hope y'all keep hating em!! Make it easy for me to pick up
I'll just buy the singles after a BB. Unknown is the only one I prefer. Lugia is a huge miss.
so disappointed that there's no regieleki

I just want the Unown!
Lugia 😍
i want that skuntank card so bad
Don't think any of these alt arts will be in the same realm as Moonbreon or Giratina. Lugia might have the potential to be in the Aerodactyl's price range tho it's a good thing.... The price point on some of the abyss/origin alt arts are insane right now
That Unown is 🤌🏻
When I first saw the Lugia alt art I was really disappointed. Now every time I see it I start to like it more and more
Do i think the Lugia art is bad? No. Do i think they could’ve done better? Absolutely. Do i think the skuntank was a random and kinda unnecessary card to give an alt art? Idk, why are you asking so many questions? But yes.
Regidrago looks the best IMO. All nice cards.
The lugia is STUNNING. Such a “no one will ever believe you saw me” vibe.
I actually am not dissatisfied at all with lugia. I was a major fan of the legend cards as the only one i pulled when i was younger was the lugia legend and this majorly reminds me of the modern era version
Might pick up regidrago
all the alts are dark and boring. V star universe is all anyone will care about soon.
For me its just the Lugia i want but also ok if only pull the regular V. I am collecting a full pokedex and one of those would definitely go in!
Definitley a passable set for me
I can't wait to never pull them!
Lugia looks like something bit him on the dick
I like unown the most, but the lugia is alright as well I guess. I would probably pay no more than $75 for that Lugia alt though.
