I would like if there was more varied texture to the rarer cards. As of now its just kinda ridges and ripples, it'd be cool to have like fluctuations in texture that vary by subject
@bruhmphrey2 ай бұрын
So Japanese cards actually have this! The problem is that English cards don’t have the texture map sent over, which leads to TPCI employed artists having to manually recreate the textures based off the Japanese cards and within the limitations of the international print machines.

It’s wild going back to the Sun/Moon and early Sword/Shield era and seeing how most of the chase cards were rainbow variants. Some look cool, but they always gave off a lazy vibe… like when you open a blind box figure and get a “rare” gold version that’s devoid of any detail not already present in the mold. I’d prefer the full art trainer with a proper background than just rainbow on rainbow.

@@StarrNOM right? I was never really a fan of those, especially the rainbows because I wanna see the actual colors and artwork. The rainbow I felt like took away from that

I like the set up of the new PC etb’s. They are using a tray vs the cardboard insert. I feel like the tray is more functional and keeps everything in place better. Hopefully they integrate the trays into the regular etb’s soon.

THEY CHANGED THE SLEEVES If I remember correctly, the previous ETBS had opaque/cloudy sleeves, making it a little bit difficult to see the art, but now they're completely transparent!
@xiphiasoffishwell47812 ай бұрын
I noticed that too. I have issues with some of the sleeves being too tight as well. I would use them more often if they had a looser fit but making them completely clear on the front is a good start.

@peterstainburn28712 ай бұрын
I think it’s better the promo card being in the same sleeve as the dividers because the deviders give support to the card which should keep it in better condition during shipping. Especially with how much mail delivery companies kick parcels around.
