Thoughts on some of the leaks from the upcoming Stellar Crown?

Looks like a set that was purposefully designed to release around Christmas.

Ngl that style is overwhelming to me 😂 I personally prefer the super simple ones

They look tacky and over designed; I really dislike them.

I personally prefer being able to tell what Pokémon is on the card.

I'm very over the terrestrialized look. It does not look good to me

ugly. too many colors

Giving me Mega evolution card vibes from the XY era, too much color going on and overlapping the whole pokémon and being busy looking

These are just the regular ex cards, not the special illustration versions of these. To me, these don't matter artwork wise. Only the ARs and SIRs are collectible

Why they gotta tera to the type that they already are. I want a fighting cinderace a dragon lapras and maybe a fire galvantula

They are continuously doing too much. There is charm and elegance in simplicity…

I absolutely love these, all the colours are just so pretty to me, judging by the negative comments, these will be pretty cheap which is a bonus for me 😌

Maybe it's unpopular opinion but I hate all of these crystal pokemon and their stupid oversized gem crown things too

The only one I like so far is the Greninja

👎 give me the illustrations

I really like SAR terapagos from this set.... Absolutely beautiful card but yeah I agree with your sentiment... Couple of cards like that would have been a better idea instead of going all in like this

Honestly I can't even recognize half the pokemon because it's so muddled. I hope they stick to a few colors in the future and not incorporate the rainbow.

I love it!!! I can already feel it’s gonna be my favorite of this year so far.

I like the rainbow borders, but that's basically it

Kinda zesty

I really love these

I don’t like this art style but I do really like the holo pattern on the Tera cards so far, so I’m hoping they look better in real life.

I thought the kingdra looked dope with this that’s just me tho

Love the Lapras. The rest meh

Lsd edition

these cards look like if printing machines had a gastrointestinal system and could vomit on cardstock

It's just too much man

Don't like this ex style. Wish they would stop

“How can we get every single color in a card…” - Pokemon

“…say no more fam” - card artist

I hate the terastal gimmick. It’s too overboard with the highlights. In illustration there’s such a thing as ‘highlight reserve’. The more you overuse highlights, the more it kills their overall effect. There’s no subtlety. There’s also no thoughtful color scheme either. Rainbows just throw color theory out the window. I get the sentiment of including all types, but from an aesthetics perspective, it looks tacky af.

Too much

Those cards are ugly

I literally have no idea whats going on in these cards

In the art world we call this clown puke.

Isn't it a bit silly to put down Tera-Stellar cards simply because "too many colors" when that's literally the color of the typing??

Seriously, it's like y'all keep finding excuses to hate on Tera even when it doesn't make sense. "You can't see the pokemon" when Mega cards suffered from the exact same problem and nobody complained about those cards...

Tera cards are as ugly as ever but I’m still hopeful for the regular art and illustration rates

Regular ex looks bad. Full art could be dope if they have same rainbow border as the Terapagos SIR

This feels like a very missable set

BREAK cards from XY look better

And that's not a good thing

I think they’re hideous 😂 Bring back the OG Pokémon style!

would prob look good in matte sleeves ngl

These cards look different in a way

Wait....do decks with these cards in them require energies that count as any? Like how am I gonna consistently get these energies without using all my search potential on it

I don’t like the terra art style at all pretty much, maybe it would be a different story if I saw one in person which I haven’t yet.

How do I avoid spoilers lol. I feel like I can’t scroll twitter, Reddit, YouTube, etc. I’ve been trying to avoid seeing arts starting with Night wanderer. I did a decent job only seeing maybe 5 cards. So far I’ve already seen Terapagos and Hydrapple :/ after I open the Japanese set idc about seeing all the arts. I just want a chance at pulling something and not knowing if it’s the best art (not value) of the set or if it’s just mid tier.

Idk I like the look haha

Lapras seems like it has some potential to be a broken card

I like the Terapagos card! 🙂 I feel like the others are probably going to be hard to play though considering they need 3 types of energy to run properly and most decks I’ve seen only use 2 colors max. 😣

I wish they made the background just plain single color so the Pokemon can pop out more.

i like them

It’s for sale on Pokémon center

It looks stale asf since it's a picture, maybe it's gonna look better in person

Lapras is ok i like the galv…

I actually kind of like these lol

Christmas Lights…

I like them!

I like it

the normal artworks are fine, its just so many colors on border and the crystals (in the games it is a lot easier to look at), but the terapagos alt art is fire

GALVANTULA

Too much going on here

A set i will not be buying

I could do without the artwork but I think I can finally play quad Lapras again and couldn’t be happier lol

Honestly 4 Lapras Ex cards and 18ish of the three energy needed would be a funny deck

Imo they need to do away with the 5ban graphics cards or this style

Mid

The tera look used to look good, but now it doesn't.

U-G-L-Y…..you ain’t got no alibi….

🚮

The Terra cards all look so much better imo.

idk, actually kinda rad. reminds me of crystals with the mix of colors

I’m sick of the crystal decanter pokemon. Its ugly

Yuck

It’s cool

Pretty borders ☺️

I kinda like the garish Lisa Frank aesthetic of the art, but I’m very disappointed with how they handled the Stellar type gameplay-wise. They wanted to make Stellar Pokémon into an archetype with a lot of cards that synergize with them, but rather than making Stellar a new type or giving it an Ancient/Future-type indicator, they just made it apply to all Tera Pokémon, which means Charizard ex is going to get a whole ton of new toys to play with right when they’d finally begun to get it under control.

People being annoyed with Tera Pokémon are shortsighted. Tera Greninja is currently the top card of the era and judging cards based on the base ex isn’t worthwhile. The Tera eeveelutions coming to Japan at the end of the year are going to do fantastic.

Art continues to step up each set and I don’t expect that to stop anytime soon.

Noisy. Too much going on.

Too jazzy

I actually really like them, the array of colors is really cool to me, especially the rainbow border and crystal white square where the attacks are, for sure gonna pick up the galvantula at least

Don’t like them, way too much going on and looks tacky

Honestly, these look better than a lot of the EX cards that are out, so I'm not mad

Awful

Lapras ex might be crazy in lugia vstar

There’s SO much going on.

I like pokémon cards almost solely for their artwork, and I love vibrant cards so these are pretty cool to me. I feel like a binder page full of these would be kinda cool

I'll prolly try a single jp box and decide if I'm gon skip english box this time

I’ll pass. Can hardly recognize what they are these cards look like birthday confetti, they are too busy

They should fire whoever thought stupid crystal hats looked cool

Can this have a spoiler Mark?!

Rainbow vomit

Nah this shit is ass

Incredibly meh

It’s too busy for me, personally.

Personally liking the IR,SIR versions more.

Straight dooodooooo

They're running out of ideas

Colorful

Ugly and boring

Not big on them at all, I'm done with that terrestrialized style. It's the primary reason I never picked up any Twilight Masquerade.

There are just too many colors going on and will someone take a look at laminar rain. Im scared for the meta at this point since psy and water are easy energies to circulate

tired of ex and v cards having lazy and ugly artwork like this they all look the same and its boring

Man the day these terra things came out, is the day I gave up on pokemon

Looks terrible.

I guess this is their take on Stellar tera type?

Brassius probably didn't design them, let's be real. But I still love the take on on the stellar mons. I must first find a detail I don't like before I understand what the majority of people is about. The different crystal shards, the white-ish background, the poses, the rainbow frame - I like it.

If I reminisce about designs I heavily disliked it would be those plastic looking 3d models the Mega evolved mons had

I like them , as long as they dont print 50 versions of this.

And I know the kids at my locals will love them they love the sparkely over colourfull cards that most adults hate.

The Tera...whatever effect is too flashy and overbearing, it's difficult to figure out what pokemon are actually on the card, i'll get the Cinderace one for my Cinderace collection (Every English-language card of Cinderace i can get), but otherwise, i prefer artwork where the pokemon depicted is recognizable at a glance.

I hope the next gimmick is a lot less gaudy, the huge crystal hats look silly in-game, and don't translate very well to card artwork (Which is printed in a small size already), either.

I like the Lapras but there’s too much going on

Tera is such an ugly concept

Yeah I’m not a fan of all these Tera cards, you can tell what Pokemon it is but at the same not at all. They are just all over the place, with colours just thrown on.

I want nice artistic cards like 151 Poliwhirl or Dragonair or OF Cleffa or Scizor.

Looks about as bad at the tera cards

Why are they “crystallized”? I’m a Poke-Boomer, pls just bring back a good classic card

i hope this is not real 😭

Very Lisa Frank.

Reminds me of the Porygon episode from the anime.

People are being way too hard on these, I find them so trippy and unique as far as Pokemon cards go, not to mention there’s gonna be full art versions that look a lot less busy and muddled, with just the Pokemon front and center on a background

Gross. Even that lapras I was excited for sucks.

I thought they were fake 😭😭

Not a huge fan of the crystal art

I’ll be honest, I’m not at all surprised that the “Stellar Crown” set looks like bedazzled jewelry box. It’s literally in the name lmao. I don’t love the whole set but I have seen a couple of the cards that I would like to have in the PC for sure.

Finally a set my wallet can take a break on

Not my style of cards but I do like the Lapras

First set I'll be buying 2 booster boxes of at launch.

Terapagos ex is the new M Rayquaza EX, Unified Beatdown plus Area Zero Underdepths gives you an easy 240

the amount of sets that just aren't that good this year are really really getting me excited for 1) Black Friday price drops 2) cheap singles. I'm going to pick up hella sealed this season and a ton of singles.

For me its just wow 🤩

The cards seem overly busy

Gameplay wise, Lapras is Dialga Vstar at home.

It’s WAY too busy!!

I'm pretty excited for these, ngl. I really like the colorful design, and I know these are going to look amazing in person.

🌈

What's the point of these Pokemon terrestrialized if they each are gonna be their same default type on the card?

The rainbow borders are giving me Mario Kart vibes. I dig it! But the artwork is a bit much.

Kind of looks like they are focusing less on the pokemon and more on shiny fillers. Like some of these cards i have trouble actually seeing what pokemon it is, which is sort of a turn off.

so ugly damn.. pokemon making their own fakes now i see

Personally I like it, but I’m also not a big fan of a lot of other SV sets

Holy energy cost, Batman! Hopefully there will be cards in-set that will help with that…

This ain’t it as an collector these are an little too crazy for me as an player I haven’t seen anything that’s gonna change the meta or how I play

Not a fan of the new cards.

Why is nobody talking about how op the Lapras is.

Its like a Chien-pao + Baxacalibur in one card.

The Cindderace's attacks look pretty solid too.

This Tera set is awful. Makes cards look fake 😂

I feel they tried to emphasize the crystal light more than the Pokemon and the choice of framing could be better but I know they’ll sell anyway so it’s just an opinion I’ll hold for them that I dislike it. Idk it’s missing the flare and originality I’d like to see.

I LOVE THESE SO MUCH they’re so colourful!!

These cards look like shit. Too much going on

I hate the crystallized pokemon hahahah

Absolutely can't stand this style. It's so excessive and just tacky.

Not a fan of every ex having bright rainbow colors and sparkles because it makes them look cheap and tacky. It fits for terapagos, but not the others

I like the illusttmration rares, but I'm really not into the style of cards you posted. I get what they're going for because of the games, I just don't like how it translated to the cards. They all just kind of look the same.

Meh

Those look like straight ass

Damn I guess I'm the only one here who LOVES this design. I feel the exaggerated style matches the powerful feel and moves these guys have. I absolutely love the rainbow border too. I feel seeing them in person might change some peoples minds a bit, Idk how many people have noticed but the cards in this image dont have any holo pattern, that can really help the card and certain elements pop. The only one I don't like as much is Terapagos, his colors match the background colors too much and he blends in with the rest of the card.

Rainbow cards died for this

Wait till you see the SARs, honestly this is a very pretty set that will be slept on

Still passing. These cards and S&V in general just looks childish and thoughtless. "HoW sPaRklY caN wE maKe tHesE cArds?!"

When did they start making cards that look deliberately fake. Not keen on this art whatsoever!

Look fake, honestly

I don't think they're TOO bad, but I miss older eras. not a big fan of where the TCG is going.

GALVANTULA RAAHHHH

Meh.. not something I'll collect

I don't love them

Underwhelming

Too busy and artistic level wise everything looks like from 5yr old coloring book

Pretty cringe to me

Those Lapras and Galvantula cards have convinced me to buy

Looks delicious like funfetti cake

not a fan of the Pokémon art but I love the rainbow borders! they will definitely stand out, especially when you're ripping a pack and see the top of one peeking out behind the second to last card

Looks like some skittles threw up
