>>35398197The fact that the artwork is framed like in YGO and Magic doesn't help either (which was even worse during the e-reader era and yes, that includes Aquapolis). Even when 5ban wasn't drawing all the high-rarity cards, they still looked like shit because they drawn the Pokémon in boring poses with shitty backgrounds (like Shaymeme or Jirachi EX).
The only two times where the art was pretty really good, was during the Generations era (with the monthly release of boxes with a promo card of an event-only legendary) and Legendary Treasures.
