>>54951655Shining fates fumbled way harder because it was like 90% ugly gen 8 shitmons no one has any attachment to. To put this in perspective, only about 10-13 of the shinies are from gen 5 or earlier (giving a range because I don't know if you'd count ugly gimmick vmax cards as gen 8 or not -- though I would).
Paldean Fates, despite the name, at least seems to have a decent spread of Pokemon. By my count, about 70+ of the shiny cards come from gens 5 and earlier, and I think the representation of earlier generations has been handled pretty well. It's a decent mix of old favourites and new pokemon (and frankly, I think most of the included gen 9 pokemon are better designed than gen 8).
Pic related, it's a rough breakdown of the respective Japanese versions of SF and PF. Did the tally very quickly, so the numbers might not be totally accurate, but it gives a decent sense of just how abysmal the representation was in Shining Fates.
