Today’s Pokémon Cards:

Spritzee

Aromatisse

Swirlix

Slurpuff

Hi everybody :)
Today we're going all pink :D Or purple/pink-ish..
I'm working on a system that allows me to pick out the ones I want to review, where I don't have to keep track on the Pokémon I've already reviewed, and which ones I have left. I will probably get it running today if I work hard, so that's what I intend to do ;)

Artwork:

The first one today is Spritzee :D
And just look at it! Aaaww... It's like a puppy Pokémon, all little and cute! I love that it's pink, which once again leads me to think that this Pokémon possibly couldn't be male, but only female :P
I love the eyes, they remind me of the eyes on manga and anime characters, big and shiny. You can almost imagine that this one is standing in front of a human or another Pokémon, stretching its arms to show that it wants to be lifted, or something like that :D I really like it - I wouldn't feel good about bringing it into a battle though :/ It looks so innocent, I would feel bad about letting it fight other Pokémon!

The next Pokémon on the list is Aromatisse!
Now this makes sense, since the evolution of Spritzee is Aromatisse - so these of course should be reviewed in the correct order ;)
This one still has the anime eyes, but now its beak is much more visible, and it actually looks more like some sort of bird :O The colours are still pretty much the same, still very pink and purple and girl-ish - and from my perspective, it looks like it's wearing a skirt! I know it's crazy, but I think that way :P
I love that on Spritzee's artwork there's a lot of grass, and the only flowers you can see are yellow, but on Aromatisse's artwork you can see the sky as well, and there are now all sorts of flowers in all sorts of colours!

The third for today is the Swirlix.
Aaand this one just looks like a mix between Jigglypuff and a marshmallow - do I need to say anything more!? Something tells me it likes to eat flowers from the way it's looking at them with its tongue out of its mouth :P And the red ones are the best! Omnomnomnom!!

The last is Slurpuff, the evolution of Swirlix!
I think this Pokémon is starting to become a Snorlax! I mean, look at the size of it :O
Anyway.. Maybe it likes fruit more than flowers now?? I don't know if it's an apple or whatever, but I'm pretty sure it's staring at a fruit, not a flower :P
Swirlix is a very white Pokémon, but as you can see, Slurpuff has now also gained some colours.. Not a whole lot, really just pink colours.. Now that I look at it, it really looks like a big cupcake - doesn't it!? :O Maybe I'm hungry since I'm seeing delicious food everywhere - but then again, I am baking something as we speak (or write, in this case)..

Until then, take good care of yourselves and your loved ones ;)
Ciao!

 Special News Today!

Hi everybody.

I hope you're all doing very well, and that you are ready for today's video! As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I would upload a very special video to YouTube today. Probably the best video I've ever recorded.

And as I said yesterday, it's not because of the visual features, because they're practically non-existing :P It's the content that still gives me goosebumps sometimes ;)

So watch it if you like, and if you do, then I hope you enjoy it :)

Today’s Pokémon Cards:

Sandile

Malamar

Malamar

Sableye

Hi all!
Today is the last day with darkness cards, and I don't know about you, but I'm really looking forward to "reviewing" a new type of cards, because I almost can't wait to do more of the ultra rares :D
I need to come up with some other genius way of doing this, just need to figure out how ;) But for now, let's get on with these bad boys.

Artwork:

The first one on the list today is Sandile.
I totally forgot this little sneaky one when I did the review of Krokorok and Krookodile :O Sandile should of course have been there as well, but now he's here and that's fine..
I must say, while I don't really like neither Krokorok nor Krookodile, Sandile is actually adorable to look at, and I really like it :D The colour theme is much the same when you look at Sandile and Krokorok, and then they change a bit on the Krookodile artwork - the Pokémon itself changes colour aswell from kinda green to kinda red :P (That's the closest I can get at describing the colours! Very precise - right!?)
Sandile just looks so defenseless, like it can't do any harm to any Pokémon at all :3

Next up we have Malamar! The first one, if you can say that :P
I think this Pokémon looks so funny, to be honest it actually reminds me of an opera singer for some reason! Just the whole position and the posture of its "body" reminds me of that.. And I know some people will disagree with me on this, and that's fine, but there are SOME Pokémon that you look at and can only think "that has GOT to be male/female!" - and this is one of them. I mean look at it :O It just screams feminism in your face - well it does to me ;)
And if you look at its face, it actually has a beak which I find quite funny. So it looks like a mix between bird, and something else that I just can't put my finger on! :P
A fat, opera singing penguin with hair that looks like something from the blue alien opera singer in the movie The Fifth Element! :D Maybe that was where I got the opera singer part?.. Anyway..

The third one is also a Malamar :D

There isn't really any more to say about the Pokémon itself, but the artwork is of course different :) In the first one, it's just standing in front of a red/brown/orange-ish rock with the XY famous blue sky :D
And in this one it's standing on the ground with some rocks and cliffs in the background and.. oh my.. the SKY again! This time with CLOUDS!!! We're also allowed to get a sneak peak at the grass at the bottom right corner - oh mama!! ;)

And the very last Pokémon is Sableye.
I've had various opinions of this Pokémon during the years it's been here. It has looked creepy, derpy, stupid, never funny though :P I think this one falls somewhere in between the two categories; creepy and cute. In some way it scares the h*ll out of me just to look at it, but in some other weird way I think it's kinda cute..
It's out there all on its own, it actually looks like it's not an adult, like it's still very young, or maybe I'm just imagining that ;) It looks a bit like it's scared of the "camera" that's there (although I know there is no such thing, because Pokémon aren't real, right guys!? :D ... Guys?? ... ??)
And again we have a Pokémon standing on the ground with very beautiful brown/orange colours, while the sky is perfect blue and with nice clouds in there as well. It really is a typical XY sky we're dealing with here! :)

Wow - I actually had so much more to say about these fellas than I had imagined when I started writing! And here I was, worrying that I might now be able to write enough.. Jeez :P

Pokémon Code Card Giveaway!

And since it's been so long, I've considered doing something new with this thing :) I will still be giving you free codes and stuff, I just think that in the future, I'm going to give you as many codes as I have done reviews in the post. So in this case it would be 4, maybe next time it's 2, then 3, and so on (I think you get the point..) So nothing major, just a thought I wanted to share with you guys :)
Then let's do it! 4 codes for you, my lovely Pokéfans :D

I choose you: Code Card!

4MF-HWP6-UY6-86N

AEF-3UQV-H9E-3C6


TJH-VGQS-6KV-FYY

LGV-YMAN-E3T-FCK

Congratulations to those/the one who got the codes, I hope they’re great!

Remember to check out my channel on YouTube. Tomorrow I'll be posting a new video, and I can already tell you that it's the best video I've ever made! The quality is crap, and it's old, but the content is something that still can give me goosebumps. I can give you a big hint - it's from the EX Fire Red Leaf Green, and it's an amazing pull! :)

Cya again soon! Bye :D
Nos vemos - adiós. :D

Today’s Pokémon Cards:

Yveltal

Yveltal EX

Yveltal EX Full Art

Hello everybody! As you can tell, we’re in Yveltal mode today, which means that the 3 Pokémon we have here, are the 3 versions of Yveltal in the XY expansion!

I promised you last time that I would bring something a little more interesting, so here they are :D I’m ready when you are, and since I have no idea when that is, I’m just gonna go ahead and start already!

Artwork:

And the first Pokémon of today, is the regular Yveltal.

It’s a great looking card, and since I’m not a big fan of a lot of the other Darkness type cards in this set, Yveltal is definitely my favourite! I like the red-pinkish colours on the dark background. Is has no really background, well nothing that you can see anyway. It’s just red/blue/green/dark flashes and stripes across the card, as if Yveltal is in a match and has just fired off a great attack! Possibly either Oblivion Wing or Darkness Blade, which are the 2 attacks this Pokémon has :)

The only negative I have to say about this, is that you can only get it in regular or reverse holo - there is no holo version, unless you buy the deck where it’s in, that’s the only way you can get it in that ‘form’.. Which sucks, because it looks GREAT in holo, and I would love to have the opportunity to pull one from a pack :)

The next one is - oh my! - It’s an YVELTAL! This time it’s just the EX version :D

The artwork on this card looks awesome, huge, and dangerous! It looks like a mixture of some sort of lizard-dragon kinda thing with weird/scary/beautiful colours. My mind can’t exactly decide how to feel about this Pokémon :P

It’s just about to jump out through the card and do some crazy attack to wipe out the opponent, or you when you’re sitting with the card! So watch out! As you can see, the 2 attacks this one has, are different from the regular Yveltal :) The attacks are actually weaker, which doesn’t quite makes sense, but on the other hand it has a little more HP. And again on this card you have these incredibly good-looking stripes of different colours, but you also can also see something that looks like stardust and small glittering stars - I have no idea what it is though ;) But it makes the card look great. 

And the very last card I would like to introduce for you today, is another Yveltal! The full art one.

It’s done in a very different style than the others, but I quite like it. I like the sort of blue stars around it, and the purple-ish background goes perfect with the red/grey/black Pokémon. It definitely works! It doesn’t really bring out the same ready-to-battle style that the other 2 have, but something animated and yet with outstanding borders and very thick edges. It doesn’t look as smooth as the other 2, if that makes any sense :P

So, I think that’s it! I can’t really find any more to say, and why push it then ;) I’m looking forward to next time, as I will be doing Xerneas then :D

Pokémon Code Card Giveaway!

And sure you’re getting some codes as well this time :D I’m starting to have quite a few of them, and I like that I’m able to just give them away to you guys. I really hope you enjoy it :)

I choose you: Code Card!

‘Til next time! Ciao!

Today’s Pokémon Cards:

Inkay

Inkay

Krokorok

Krookodile

Good day/night to everybody in da room! (Remind me not to write that ever again..) 

I'm ready to begin a new round, and I hope you're ready with me. Today we have 4 darkness type Pokémon that need to be reviewed, so I say we just jump right into it.

They're not the most fantastic or rare Pokémon ever - they're actually quite regular and I now it's been a while since I've reviewed an ultra rare Pokémon, but I will do that in the next one, I promise :)

Artwork:

But the first Pokémon of today, is an Inkay!

This would be the one on the top of course, since there are 2 different in this set ;)

I feel like this is a Pokémon that could be part of Angry Birds. The only difference is that this one actually looks kinda sweet and happy, so I guess it would be the opposite of Angry Birds.. Happy Birds!
It looks a little weird that the Pokémon itself has some pretty bright colours, compared to the background which is really dark! You can see some rocks around Inkay and in the background, the sky is slightly lit up and you can see some stars up there as well. 


The next Pokémon is - can I get a drumroll please.... INKAY!
I like how this could be the exactly same one just on the top of one of those rocks on the picture of the first one! It took some time to get all the way up there, so in the meantime it's changed from night to day and therefore this card is also very much lighter than the other one! Inkay is just chilling up there, probably relaxing after a long walk, looking out on the beautiful nature. And once again, they really like the sky in this set :D Like, a lot!


Let's get on with the second to last Pokémon, which is Krokorok!
I'm not overly excited with these crocodiles I might as well say that now :P And this one really looks derpy! It's just extremely happy while riding down a hill of sand! That was the best day in its whole life :3 It was such a nice hill..
The colours are very cheerful, once again we have the sky in the background, but where the 2 Inkay's are animated, this is a drawn-style Pokémon (I hope you know what I mean, when I write this.. The lines are more clear on this type and the colours are often a little different as well). This fellow is a stage 1 Pokémon, and it's the evolution of Sandile, which couldn't fit here, so I'll do that next time :D


And without further ado I would like to introduce to you... Krookodile!
I guess you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that this one is Krokorok's evolution, if you didn't know, you can look in the top left corner of Krookodile. There you'll see that his is a stage 2 Pokémon, which means that there are 2 other Pokémon that comes before this one, and you'll also see a small picture of Krokorok there as well :D 
The colours work very well together, the red, beige and blue is great (not that I know anything about analyzing pictures and stuff!) The background is very simple, not much going on there. It could look like it's standing in a desert, or maybe an arena. Or maybe just a place with a lot of sand ;D But it's definitely ready to fight! 


So, this is what I managed to do this time! It took me a while, but to be honest with you - these 4 I just needed to get over with, they're not exactly my 4 favourite Pokémon from the XY Base Set :P Next time I'm going to bring something much more exciting!

Pokémon Code Card Giveaway!

Of course we need to have one of these today! And to make this post a little more exciting, I think I'm going to put in 3 codes this time.

Let's get to it :D

I choose you: Code Card!

MDG-C6KQ-VYJ-UL8

And:

CW7-CLAP-Y98-HPF (let's all just take a moment to appreciate that this code actually has 'clap' in it! :D

And the last one:

7A4-AA4X-JNF-FQH

So congratulations to the lucky number one, and that's it for today, I'll see which Pokémon I can find for next time.
Have fun out there and take good care of yourselves and those around you ;)

Today’s Pokémon Cards:

Pikachu

Raichu

Zorua

Zoroark

Hello everybody! 

I hope you're doing good. I'm just enjoying the very last of my weekend, until school starts again tomorrow. It's gone by so fast this time - the weekend I mean.. But that's often the case, isn't it?

So, let's get on with it - we have 4 new cards today, 2 of them are the only 2 electric Pokémon we need and the other are 2 darkness Pokémon :D

Artwork:

Let's start off with Pikachu!

This one looks really good. My boyfriend saw it at some point and he was convinced that it must be some kind of special Pikachu (he's not a collector, just thought it looked too special to be a normal card) :P

It has beautiful colours, and it's one of the more slim types of Pikachu. There have been some pretty chubby ones through the years, this is not one of them though! The contrasts in the colours are really good looking, and it just looks so happy and energetic :D Not really like it's performing an attack, more just like showing off :P

Next up it's Raichu!

I don't know why, but there's just something about Pikachu and Raichu. I always like them. I don't think I've seen a single one that I didn't like yet :P The holo on the cards are actually kinda amazing. I didn't know if I liked them in the beginning, but now that I've seen a lot of them in real life, I've come to like them a lot. And the Raichu is no exception! Looking up at the sky, Raichu looks like he's ready to jump away to something, or just about to make the worst storm in several years. You can almost see the clouds forming a whirl in the sky.

The turn has come to Zorua!

Another great looking Pokémon in this set. I love these non-animated drawings for some reason. I've noticed that they're very fond of clouds and the sky in this set ;D It's almost on every single card that I've reviewed to far. Not that it's bad - they have chosen a great blue colour for it, and it just looks amazing. Zorua here also looks like it's about to go to battle. It looks furious (as much as it can), running towards its target, probably to use the attack; Scratch :D The cliffs in the background look amazing too, generally, the details are great on these cards!

Aaaand the last card is Zorua's evolution; Zoroark!

Greeeat looking! It almost looks like the same background that's on the Zorua card, the cliffs are just a little different and they've made them very dark, so it's almost just the silhouette you're able to see. This also makes you notice the Pokémon itself much more than the background, which works great, especially because they've also placed the Pokémon right in the middle of the picture :D You can't help but notice it. And it looks really cool with the gray/white light stribes (or whatever it is) emerging from the Pokémon. 

It could look like Zoruark is jumping up JUST before it's going to attack its opponent!

They've made these Pokémon very active and I think it's a good way to do it, instead of just having a background and a Pokémon chilling on some grass, or something like that :P This makes it much more interesting, especially when otherwise dull Pokémon suddenly seem cool and strong - that's the way to go :D

So I think that's it for today, hope you liked it!

Pokémon Code Card Giveaway!

But wait - there's more! Of course you're getting some code cards today :D

I'm sorry I haven't been uploading any more videos on YouTube yet, but I've been away the whole weekend, I promise I'll upload tomorrow though ;)

So, let's do this.

I choose you: Code Card!

R9J-YLXQ-VKT-GNB

Aaand:

2 for you this time - congratulations to whoever redeem these codes first :D

Cya next time - peace out!

New Pokémon Video!

Hi all, and happy friday/weekend to all of you - hope you'll be enjoying it :D

I just wanted to drop by and tell you, that I've just finished uploading my newest video to YouTube a little time ago. Don't worry, I won't be writing in here every time I upload a new video, but this is a little special - it's the very first part of the XY base set booster box opening! It's been on its way for far too long, but it finally arrived a couple of days ago, and yesterday I got to open it - and it. Was. AWESOME! :D

And since that's what everybody wants to see these days, I thought I would give you guys a heads up as well :)

Anyway, check out the video if you like. I'm giving away code cards for every time I pull an ultra rare in these videos, so be sure to check it out if you're a code card collector!

I promise I will soon upload another review including some codes for you guys, I just don't know if I can do it before Sunday ;)

Have a good time out there! Cya.

Today’s Pokémon Cards:

  Emolga EX        Emolga EX (full art)

    Voltorb               Electrode

¡Hola a todos!

Hi all!

I can see that a lot of my viewers are from Brazil and Argentina, and since I'm studying Spanish at the university, why not start by saying hello in Spanish? ;) 

So this is probably what it's going to look like in the future - with different cards each time of course :D

I hope you're going to like it, I think it'll make my blogging much more interesting and easier for me as well. And from now on, I will not be focusing so much on how to use the Pokémon in battle, only its appearance, and possibly a few other things too. 

So let's start!

Artwork:

So, all of these Pokémon are lightning type, so I just think we should start with Emolga EX:

I like the looks of the card a lot! Normally, Emolga is a very sweet looking Pokémon, but since this is an EX and it looks like its going to battle, it has a very angry and competitive look on its face. I like that they still kept a pink background though! They haven't taken away all the cuteness just yet :D There isn't much background on this card though, it looks like Emolga is about to jump out of the card, and just leave an empty pink spot behind.

Another thing about these ultra rares that I like, is that you're able to see them in a pack if you only get a small look at the side of the card - then you get all excited to see what's there!

They've come a long way since the first EX cards they made, and of course, since this is an electric Pokémon, there's lightning all over the card, which gives it an awesome look!

And then let's move on to Emolga EX full art:

A very cool card as well as the last one. The Pokémon has almost the same look on its face, and they've still kept the pink background for it!

There is some more background on this card, since it's full art - so it should make sense when I say that there's more space to do the artwork ;) I like how it almost looks like it has a haircut, with the 2 black triangles going down its forehead, and it looks like it's JUST about to do an attack of some sorts, maybe the Electron Crush!

I don't know if they've stopped this in the X&Y set, but the full art cards in Black and White has these lines across the cards in different patterns, that you could feel when you touched the card. I really like this because it feels great when you're opening a pack and doing the card trick, and then suddenly you feel these lines! It's almost like your heart stops for a small while :P And it just gives the cards an awesome look as well!

Then on to the Voltorb:

Now here's a card we know way back from the very first generation of Pokémon! I always get a little happy when I see these cards :) Though I must say that this Voltorb looks extremely dull! It looks like a turtle that's landed on its back and can't get up again :P I mean look at its eyes! It looks kinda derped - it's a Derpémon!

The artwork is very simple.. The background looks like something they would have made back in 1999 when Base Set came out. There are no amazing contrasts in the colour, it's not in the middle of an attack, it's just rolling around on the ground! Let's begin to move on towards the last Pokémon, I think it's better :D

So the last one is Electrode! Let's do it!

This one looks very awesome on the other hand! The colours are quite outstanding, that red one just looks great and gives a very good contrast to the rest of the card. If you look at the details in the background, the clouds and the trees, it looks much more detailed and with much more beautiful colours than the background on the Voltorb card - even though these are from the same set. It almost look like they could be at the same place. The yellow/brown field thing is there on both cards, but the trees are far away on the Voltorb one though :)

Electrode is just in the middle of an attack, there is lightning all around it and the look on its face is almost trying to say how much it's looking forward to knocking out its opponent! It doesn't look like a Pokémon you should be messing with :D

So that's about it, I don't really think I have much more to say, but still, I've written pretty much - BUT now I have 4 cards at a time, instead of just one :) This also makes it possible for me to actually get through with this set until the next one comes out this May!

Pokémon Code Card Giveaway!

New Visual Feature

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii! :D

Hope you're doing good out there, chilling in the weekend. I am! 

I want to tell you a bit about a few things, but the big subject will be my new background - do you like it?? I really didn't like the ones I've had before, so I decided to finally do somehting about it.
In the beginning I had no idea what to do, but suddenly I had this idea; why not make a new background every time a new set comes out? Starting now with the (still kinda new) X&Y set, and continuing with Flashfire coming out in May. I hope it's something I will be able to do, and I have to say that I'm absolutely in LOVE with my new background.

I made it in Photoshop, but all rights still go to Nintendo of course, since they made the individual logos and what not :)

Moreover, I think I've decided to post something in here a couple of times a week, maybe only once every week. This is because I think the content would be better, if I only focus on posting a couple of times a week, instead of feeling like I should be posting every day..

AND, there's more!! I started this blog a while back as something that would bring me closer to Pokémon cards. When I open packs and put them in binders, I don't really get a close look at the cards - this was my way to do that, but it isn't exactly what I've achieved ;) I'm focusing waaay too much on the card in action, if you would want to play it - and I don't even play the game! I'm not qualified to tell you what you should or shouldn't do.. Maybe one day, when I start playing the TCG myself, I'll go back to this method, but my idea for now is to post several cards in the same post from now on, and pretty much only talk about the card - very short what it can do, but mostly HOW IT LOOKS. The artwork was what should have been most in focus, but I ended up writing only a few lines about the artwork to each card.. That's just not good enough :)

I hope this is not too confusing, but don't worry, the code card things will still be here! Not in this post though, I'm not home so I don't have any code cards with me :P
So just wait and see, you'll soon know the point of what I've been writing - I'M CONFUSED, so don't worry if you feel a bit off track as well :D

'Til next time - have fun!

Poké News!

I've got some great news for you guys! In case you haven't seen it yet, the new Pokémon X&Y set is going to be released on the 7th of May 2014!

The name of this new set is going to be: XY Flashfire, which I think is an awesome name :D

Of course I have some pictures for you as well..

This is pretty much how the logo is going to look. Very much in style with the X&Y on the market right now, so that's looking great :)

This is a bit more exciting though! This is how the booster packs are going to look, and just by looking at them, it almost tickles a bit in my stomach!

So, from left to right: Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, and Pyroar as the last one.

I'm SO excited that they decided to bring Kangaskhan back in the game again, and as a Mega evolution this time, that is just way too awesome :D

Today's Pokémon Card:

X&Y - Bidoof

“With nerves of steel, nothing can perturb it. 

It is more agile and active than it appears.”

Total Overview:

Behold the great Bidoof! Or, well.. Not really THAT great..

Let’s get to it!

Bidoof is a normal type Pokémon with 60HP and only one attack. The attack is called Hyper Fang, also commonly known among Raticates through the years :) It requires 2 energy cards of your very own choice, also known as colorless energy cards, and it does 40 damage IF you’re lucky - you have to flip a coin if you use this attack, and if the coin tails then the attack does absolutely NOTHING AT ALL. And since it’s the only attack Bidoof has - good luck on that 50/50 coin flip!

The Pokémon has no resistance to other types, but it is weak x2 to fighting Pokémon. So if Bidoof is up against Rhyhorn, and Rhyhorn deals 40 damage with its Horn Drill attack, you have to double the amount of damage, so that Bidoof gets 80 damage, and then there isn’t much Bidoof left afterwards is there? ;)

If you want to retreat the Pokémon it will cost you 3 precious energy cards, which is a lot in my opinion, taken in consideration that this is just a common card..

It’s a basic Pokémon though, so if you want to play it you don’t have to worry about having any other cards in play, before you can safely set Bidoof as your active Pokémon :D

Personal Opinion:

Well, this Pokémon seems pretty average, when you look at other common cards from the X&Y set. It has a very good amount of health, only 1 attack which is quite normal for the rest of the gang as well. BUT, you run a 50/50 risk that the only attack Bidoof has, will do nothing whatsoever.. That IS a pretty high risk. BUT, if we look a little closer, we can see that Bidoof’s evolution; Bibarel is in the set as well. So if you can manage to evolve it into Bibarel, then your odds are a lot better than if you use Bidoof alone. You just have to remember that Bibarel is a rare card, and you just can’t be sure that you will draw it from your deck in play, even if you have 2 or 3 in the same deck. 

So for this Pokémon, I think it should have:

It’s a pretty average card this Bidoof. The attack is a bit vague, but other than that the Pokémon has a good amount of HP and the possibility of evolution, so it could turn out to be really great, just not alone ;)

A bit about the artwork:

I actually like this card. Well, not the Pokémon as much as the background to be honest! I mean, it looks incredibly sweet, it even looks happy! It’s sort of reaching out for something, or at least it looks like that.

But the background with a small stream, lots of rocks and flowers with all different colours. That’s awesome! And in the back, there is sunlight which just makes the card so bright and cheerful!

If you look closely, you can see the same little lines with shiny stars/bubbles that are on the Mr. Mime card I just reviewed yesterday! I think that’s really cool :)

Next Card Review:

Next time I will do 2 cards at the same time! I will do both Emolga EX and Emolga EX full art (both from X&Y), because the only difference between them is the artwork, so I think it’s easier this way. I should have done the same with the Blastoise and Venusaur, but I totally forgot :P
