Agree with almost all your sentiments on this set. Especially using old eeveeloution arts (not counting resusing Kuroimori's Leafeon though because you know my personal bias) Only difference for me is I do like the gold cards. I pulled from 51 packs of Prismatic from various products. Got 4 masterballs, 14 Pokeballs, 7 boring full art trainers, and not one SIR. The only thing that made me happy was pulling the English Leafeon Masterball for my Kuroimori collection, and even then it has whitening on the back and scratches on the front because English quality control is a joke. I'll buy the Sylveon and Umbreon SARs when I am able and just the Leafeon Poke and Suicune poke and masterballs in English and call it a day with this set
@@WhimsicottTCG Jungle is an interesting call. Was it just one trainer card? I forget now. Was long ago. It's hard for me to be too hard on the ancient sets, because they were from very simple times. Jungle has some lovely Arita cards, so I don't give it very low marks, but it's not a great set outside of its iconic status. Emerging Powers was very lacklustre. It's probably so dull that I'd forgotten it existed.
Really didn't. Primarily the English print with the Pika logo was a big turn off. The reprints bored me - I prefer the originals. Of the new cards, very few even remotely impressed me. It just felt very, very Meh. But I am happy that others enjoyed it.
@saturninebear I thought it was a great set to open which is extremely rare. It always felt like you were getting something with the classic collection and it was a quick one to complete. I did enjoy the reprints but the Pikachu logo was a bit big
The Liko and Roy Horizon’s promos come from a Horizon’s collection box, which also featured a jumbo card for terapagos
They have both been free from Pokemon center recently, when you spent over £20 in UK

That's a bummer about the damage on your card. But still, I'm glad you got such a great pull.
@@saturninebear Same here the texturing on it is freaking gorgeous
Glad you're filling the holes in your collection piece by piece
the weakest set they've ever released would likely be Emerging Powers, Jungle or one of the early DP sets probably
oh and champions path which you mentioned

You didn't like Celebrations? 😯
