Our Take: One Of Pokémon’s Coolest Collaborations Yet
Pokémon Is At Its Coolest When It’s Collaborating With Manga Legends
Tetsuo Hara is a legend and it’s amazing that he contributed artwork for aPokémoncard.Pokémonhas worked with other manga artists before,most notably Junji Ito, and every time these collaborations become legendary.This card instantly became the one card I needed to have in my collection, even overthe new Moonbreon cardthat could sell for hundreds of dollars.
I hope that allPokémon Trading Card Gamefans appreciate that this art was made by a living legend and fully understand how neat this card is to collect. The work that goes into art such as this is something that should be marveled at for years to come.
