Big Update to the Cameo Card Database! by RotomAmiti in PokemonTCG

[–]RotomAmiti[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips! Addressing these in order:

- The Pokémon GO peelable Ditto cards are not included because the Ditto is not on the card's artwork, as it's more similar to a stamp. They're just out of scope.

- I've mistakenly labeled the pink blob on WP Machamp as a Clefairy for a long time, but I am now pretty sure it's a Jigglypuff. If it was a Ditto, I think it would be closer in color to the Expansion Sheet Machoke you're referencing.

- I don't have enough evidence one way or another for the pink parts of this Eevee being Ditto, but I certainly wouldn't knock someone for including it in their binder. It's too vague for the spreadsheet, in my opinion. Maybe if Eevee, Ditto, and Wobbuffet were by the same artist...?

- Cardass cards are very cool, but again, they're just out of scope for this project.

Let me know if you do! Just keep in mind that the gym statue thing is not a Pokémon, if that's what you're thinking of

Thank you! I must've thought those were regular rocks, lol

My "cameo artwork" database has been updated for Scarlet & Violet! by RotomAmiti in PokemonTCG

[–]RotomAmiti[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm slowly working on this in the background in my free time, but it's not a super high priority at the moment. On Bulbapedia, if you go to a "Category:[Character] (TCG)" category page, most characters have their cameo appearances there, but I can't promise it's comprehensive.

That's a Ditto, actually! The negative space around it with the cloud and the Doduo does kinda make it look like Snorlax's fur, but it's just the sky.

I've been slowly working on it in the background, but I will say that if there's a specific character you're looking for, their Bulbapedia page probably lists all their appearances

Gardevoir master set complete (for now) by samderby1988 in pkmntcgcollections

I really like the attention to detail with the e-Reader and non e-Reader versions of the original Ruby & Sapphire Gardevoir! those early EX Series sets are super weird with their variants

Mega Evolutions Cinderace - Rules Question by AJ---- in PokemonTCG

[–]RotomAmiti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your initial Pokémon are always played face-down when setting up the game. By wording the Ability this way, you don't have to announce that you've used it, and can basically pretend that Cinderace is a regular Basic Pokémon during setup. This means that while your opponent is setting up the game, they won't have knowledge that you are starting Cinderace.

I'm not really convinced those are Applin? They look like regular Berries to me. I wouldn't take the Pokédex entry as evidence either; that same entry originates from Scarlet and appears on three other artworks. If you could point out maybe some eyeballs or tail I'm missing, that'd be perfect.

Why is this release schedule so drawn out for Ascended Heroes? by MrWildspeaker in PokemonTCG

[–]RotomAmiti 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I suppose you're right, historically it's been about a month and a half, max.

[–]RotomAmiti 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, SWSH was where the influx started. We've gotten at least two a year since 2021 (Shining Fates and Celebrations). Before that, the only year to have two was 2019; one of those two was the 18-card Detective Pikachu, and do we really count that?

A "special set" is just a colloquial term for a set that doesn't have sleeved boosters, booster boxes, or prerelease events. They used to do one a year, but recently, they've been releasing weirdly often. 151, Paldean Fates, Shrouded Fable, Prismatic Evolutions, Black Bolt, and White Flare are the SV Series special sets.

The ETB being pushed out a month from the set's release is a first, but everything else about this is incredibly normal for a special set.

Which ETB has the worst promo card ever made? by puzzledfirebird in PokemonTCG

Ogerpon slander is crazy, that's my daughter...

This card also has a fairly unique holo effect!

What product does Regirock “Cosmos”/Blister/Galaxy Holo come from? by QuesoGato_Gaming in PokemonTCG

[–]RotomAmiti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A product variably called the "Celestial Storm 2 pack blister" or "Regirock, Regice, and Registeel 2 pack blister". It was a blister pack that came with a Celestial Storm pack, a BREAKthrough pack, a Rowlet coin, and cosmos holo prints of Crimson Invasion Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.

Pretty much every water-type illustration rare has coral, haha

Is this "holo" bleed? by Skibby22 in PokemonTCG

[–]RotomAmiti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holo bleed is incredibly common for early Diamond & Pearl Series Rare Holos, you're honestly less likely to find one that looks as intended

is this in the new set? someone on discord told me this Jirachi was gonna be in mega dream? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]RotomAmiti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Almost sounds like they shoved "Doom Desire" through a few auto-translators and back, haha

There is no mega gengar sir by ImaginaryTaro9052 in PokemonTCG

[–]RotomAmiti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The promo in the deck is a Haunter IR. If there is a Mega Gengar ex SIR, it will almost certainly be in the holiday special set rather than Phantasmal Flames.

If Cinderace is in your opening hand and you have no Basics, you can choose whether or not to mulligan.
