“Hey! Learn our syntax here.”

Yeah, discussing Pokémon’s history is meant to be fun. The more people fight here, the less comfortable other people will feel posting. And the more abrasive someone is in trying to correct someone else, the less the other people will be willing to listen, or to continue the discussion (Not to mention the harder they’ll push back if they think they see a hole in the corrector’s argument).

The Blitzle IR from Paradox Rift also comes to mind.

That’s one sick goatee!

A previous comment was deleted; this is not the place to shame others for a perceived lack of knowledge.

It’s a reward for participating in a Pokemon Run event, held in various Asian countries: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Run#Pok%C3%A9mon_Run_30

Where do you get this at?

A useful detail for collectors: this Grand Canyon Pikachu has two printings with the same English text and artwork, but different backs.
Japanese release — July 8, 2010: modern Japanese card back. The front copyright includes Pokémon/Nintendo/Creatures/GAME FREAK.
International release — November 2010: standard blue international card back, often called the “English back.” The copyright is shortened to ©2010 Pokémon/Nintendo. The scan on this page shows this printing.
Illustrated by Kouki Saitou, it was part of the 2010 Pikachu World Collection: nine holographic Pikachu cards in nine languages, each with its own illustration. The Grand Canyon artwork appears on the English-language card in both releases; the Japanese-language Pikachu has different artwork. The canyon stripes and starry sky also evoke the American flag.
A few details that commonly cause confusion:
Blue versus green Japanese sets: the difference is the background on the Japanese-language Pikachu. Both…

Well considering the Pokemon is based on one of the most popular and beloved animals in the world, and sits at the 542nd most popular Pokemon (according to the ThomasGameDocs poll) that should be enough to tell anyone that either the secret superhero trope is not at all brilliant, and/or the execution of that trope was overwhelmingly subpar. Common consensus seems to agree that something went terribly wrong with this Pokemon which explains its ranking and super low desirability in card form, despite akagi’s illustration being excellent.

Since the Sun/Moon block ended, this little guy and his evolutions have only appeared in special anniversary sets.

Funny how this card is almost identical to EVS Tropius.

First multiprize Skarmory card since XY base set! It’s been 12 years.

From here until XY Evolutions, every non FA trainer card would never “fit” the frame. Looking at it now I assume the frame is trying to give a popping out illusion, but it’s harder to notice than the awkwardly shaped frame. Why did they stuck with this for 3 generations?

They don’t feature pokemon, and it might not even be the Northern Lights, but it is possible that the Magnetic Storm stadiums ( https://pkmncards.com/name/magnetic-storm/ ) are Northern lights.
It’s very far-fetched though, saying the magnetic fields are the Aurora Borealis is like saying I have a mew. And instead of mew, mewtwo, or even a ditto, I bring forth en espeon.

Just writing this to say that you are absolutely right. I felt validated reading your comment. Great to find someone who agrees with me.

A lot of Dragonair cards have had the Slam attack over the years!
Whirlpool
I’m starting a collection of cards that feature the northern lights. Besides this one, so far I’ve also found:
➊ Base set Dragonair
➋ ASC Snorunt
➌ BLK Cobalion art rare
➍ FLI Aurorus
➎ PFL Dewgong art rare
Any others I’m missing?

However, I DO agree that the “evolves into” text is more important than whether or not you’re actually going up by one evolutionary stage. If “evolves into” boxes could let a Baby Pokémon evolve into a basic Pokémon, then an “evolves from” box should let a Restored Pokémon evolve into a Stage 2 or a Stage 1 evolve into a Stage 1. Now that I’ve had time to think about it, I don’t think we need any confirmation from Japan on this question… indeed, it’s probably better we DON’T ask until they’ve fixed the PREVIOUS mistake (Which I’m inclined to believe originated with them with 151 released in Japan a full three months before it released in the west and when the English ruling was from two months after THAT, though the actual Q&A entry is undated).
Charmaster
I get that it can be frustrating when most of someone’s pkmncards comments are bashing the localization of the game, but there’s an important card that proves that “evolves into” really does mean “evolves into” whether the Pokémon it evolves into says it “evolves from” that card. Buried Fossil from Skyridge says it “Evolves into Omanyte, Kabuto, Aerodactyl,” and it was printed alongside an Omanyte, Kabuto and Aerodactyl that all evolve from Mysterious Fossil. These cards were printed well after the “New back” reboot that removed the “Old Back” (Base-Neo) cards from the game in Japan,…

This is one of seven cards in the Neo series that uses the general wording “Your opponent may X. Either way, you may X.” Was this how the Japanese originals were worded too, or was this a WotC invention? I can’t possibly imagine this being the best way to convey these effects.

A rare case of a regular card popping out of the art frame! Pretty neat!
