¡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!
