For the 20th anniversary, the next TCG set is mostly a reprint of the original Base Set, plus some new EX and BREAK cards, and a few miscellaneous promo card reprints. Pictured above is one of the very few reprint cards that didn’t originate from Base Set.

Look in the background.

This card was originally printed in 1999, for a tournament held in Hawaii.

i don’t understand people who get mad when pokemon designs are especially quirky or take inspiration from unusual sources. this is a game where my final party can consist of a possessed refrigerator, a sexy mangosteen, a literal bag of garbage, a creature based on a dead comedian, an empty cicada shell, and donald trump’s fursona. i can make this specific group of monsters fight gods and extradimensional abominations. if you don’t think that’s beautiful, get the fuck off my blog.
