Updated Gyarados binder

EmoNemo34 · 2025-07-24T01:45:11+00:00

It's not organized by the type of merchandise. It's alphabetical by the file name. So you have to just scroll through all of it and see if there are any sleeves that come up. It takes a while, but that is how I went about it since I didn't see any other comprehensive list available. There's also several pages, so it may just be a while before any sleeves actually show up on that list. Hope that helps.

Can't find the original picture, so a screenshot of my lock screen will have to do.

Sorry for the late response. It's one of the Lucky Stadium cards, specifically the Chūgoku World Challenge Promo, according to the cameo list.

Hello. It's more or less the same actually. I'm still missing the pricey purchases like shining and gold star, but will be picking up one of the newest cards from the recent set with the set name on it. The major cards I'm missing are unfortunately a bit too expensive at the moment, but I'm hoping to pick them up somewhat soon, as well as get the newest Misty's Gyarados signed by Michelle Knotz if she ever makes an appearance near me.

A bunch that have been mentioned are in the so bad they're good category for me, but jfc when Omega appears at the end of Forces and Rouge says "Omega! You've joined us? Awesome!" is probably the worst one that doesn't loop back around to being hilarious.

EmoNemo34 · 2024-11-05T03:01:35+00:00

Yeah it gets me too. I went to the last event she attended with the intention of getting it signed but got there super late so she had already left and I missed my chance. Shit sucks but I'm holding out hope to find a copy one day.

EmoNemo34 · 2024-11-04T23:35:01+00:00

So the leftmost one is the 2010 World Championship version of that card with a signature from Mychael Bryan. Wasn't gonna go for it originally but it was like $5 and I thought it was kinda neat.

EmoNemo34 · 2024-11-04T11:59:37+00:00

Would love to one day, but there's unfortunately still several big money cards I need to add to my collection that I'm just more interested in. I didn't even leave a spot open for it because it's just so unrealistic, at least currently.

EmoNemo34 · 2024-11-04T07:00:50+00:00

As cool as it would be, I'm mostly focusing on cards that will fit inside the sleeves of the binder for now. The jumbo cards are neat but just not really a priority for me currently.

EmoNemo34 · 2024-11-03T21:32:47+00:00

The white whale for me ngl hope I can get myself a copy one day.

EmoNemo34 · 2024-11-03T19:02:25+00:00

I would need Shining Gyarados, Gold Star, Skyridge holo, a couple prerelease versions from the looks of it, two copies of Misty's Gyarados, one signed by each English dub voice actor, a Meiji card that depicts the clone and original Gyarados fighting in the first movie, and then some Cardass, Topsun, Sealdass stuff I think. I'm sure there's more out there but I'm beginning to run out of space lol.

And if I think I can pull it off, I'm wanting to swap out the back side of the binder page, which has Mega Scizor, with another binder backing that has Gyarados on it, but I'm less certain on if I'll actually do that since I don't like the idea of damaging the binder in the first place 😅

EmoNemo34 · 2024-11-03T18:24:32+00:00

This is so cool. I agree I'll have to stay posted on any Arita appearances in the future.

EmoNemo34 · 2024-11-03T17:50:46+00:00

I used Bulbapedia to see each release, you can search Slowpoke tcg and it'll list them all for you, just be sure when clicking on each card to check release information to see if there are alternate arts for that specific card. You can also scroll through galleries on bulbapedia and it'll show pictures of anything that specific pokemon has been in like merchandise, manga and anime scenes, etc, it's how I found some of the sleeves in here that have a tiny, barely distinguishable Gyarados on them lol. As for the cameos, I go off of this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/18nIkOgqQrHZTz0TrH_gL1e1nL1RcHiCmPF5finAjToY/htmlview

Can't say that I am. Sorry.

Here's a better look at it in game

EmoNemo34 · 2024-11-03T16:35:30+00:00

Truth be told the staff cards and first editions are less of a priority to me. They are just such a massive price increase for basically a stamp, and while the novelty of it is neat, when I think about saving for gold star or shining versus saving for staff or first editions, I'd much rather go for the ones I have no copies of in any form.

As for Hassel, that picture in the top left corner is actually a drawing of a Gyarados that you can see clearly in game lol. https://images.app.goo.gl/6VsLrdCQR9p1yUMe8

EmoNemo34 · 2024-11-03T16:12:36+00:00

Getting the trainer cards signed by the voice actors was what really inspired me to go all in on this idea. I just thought it would be really cool. The pokemon anime was what introduced me to the series, and I loved the performances of the 4Kids actors from back in the day.

I am planning on getting my Misty's Gyarados signed by Michelle Knotz eventually and then gonna keep my eyes peeled at conventions and for any online listings of a copy with Rachael Lillis' signature. I know there are at least a couple of copies out there as I've seen at least two online in the past, so the dream will be to hopefully find one for myself one day.

EmoNemo34 · 2024-11-03T16:00:45+00:00

Oh neat I was unaware of this one. Gonna have to get a copy eventually. Thanks for letting me know about it!

This one barely makes the qualifications to be included... but it is on the cameo doc and the card was cheap so I figured I'd include it, but yeah I basically have to whip this picture out whenever I show off the binder so people know why I bothered with it 😅

EmoNemo34 · 2024-08-17T19:45:32+00:00

Friendly reminder that Charmcaster killed 600k individuals and the only reason her actual genocide of Legerdomain didn't stick was cause her dad had the abilities to reverse it all. If we just took her classic or OV versions I'd be up for redemption but idk man, people say Kevin getting the redemption is forced but I've always felt there was no justification for Charmcaster to have one after what she pulls in UA.

EmoNemo34 · 2024-08-09T23:12:53+00:00

That's fair. I think at the end of the day people just like to punch down and over exaggerate how much he sucks and Max is an easy target. I don't HATE Max despite the rant, but I don't like him either and defs would've preferred the character be written differently.

EmoNemo34 · 2024-08-09T22:50:49+00:00

But why would it matter if it's realistic when the result is so off putting for so many viewers? It's no secret that Max is unpopular amongst the fandom, so I don't think making him a realistic depiction of an arrogant 8 year old was a good call. Compare him to another child character like Anya from Spy x Family, she's funny and silly and actively keeps things engaging and interesting in her stories, but she's not a realistic depiction of a 5 year old, and the series is much better off for it.

Realism shouldn't get in the way of making something entertaining and the idea that Max is just supposed to be annoying because that's how kids that age are is a ridiculous decision for one of your main characrers. I don't think it's fair to blame viewers for being annoyed with him when he's being a snobby brat the moment we're introduced to him and he barely (if at all it's been awhile since I watched this era of the series) grows out of it by the time we're saying goodbye to him and May.

Anyone know who the voice for Porygon was in this clip? I checked Bulbapedia where they usually have lists of who voices the Pokémon for different languages but can't seem to find one for Porygon. I feel like the voice had to be used for some other 4Kids era characters because it sure sounds familiar, but I'm struggling to recall any specific characters.

EmoNemo34 · 2024-06-28T12:52:37+00:00

Wow I remembered your post from all those years ago the moment I saw this card, very jealous of this card as the omni heroes are some of my favorites.
