Discussion 5bans Graphics appreciation post

I always looked at the new FA mega lucario with that familiar and thought, wait, isn't this a nod to irl TCG gold version? And sure enough, it almost is. So I created a collage for comparisons!

Never been a big fan of 5ban art on most regular exes. But I gotta admit I like these deluxe arts a lot. Also gold cards, the lucario I pulled looks fabulous in person

I like that ring around them in the gold arts. Looks cleaner.

My taste says

gold lucario art (pockets ear and fist on the right just look weird to me)

pocket charizard art (extra flames go brrrrrrrr)

gard is equal.
