Kanto Pokédex #014… Kakuna. Simple, moody, and peak vintage Pokémon artwork.

I'll be interested to see if Mega Beedrill ever gets an SIR or full art card. Until then, this promo is in the Kanto Pokedex binder.

Kanto Pokédex #013… Weedle. Simple card, charming artwork, and exactly the kind of vintage Pokémon style I love.

Tomokazu Komiya cooked with this card! 🔥

Anybody miss rainbow cards? While I didn't like every rainbow card, some Pokemon just fit the rainbow theme well.... Like this awesome Butterfree VMAX

The crosshatch pattern might be one of the most underrated foil patterns Pokémon has ever used. The foil catches the light perfectly without overpowering the artwork… We need more cards like this. 😮‍💨

I love using older Japanese cards like this in the binder. The artwork has such a distinct vintage feel, and this one fits Metapod perfectly. Easily the best Metapod card we have ever received.

Easily one of the most underrated illustration rares from 151. The soft colors, layered leaves, and tiny hidden details make this card way better than it gets credit for.

Continuing the Blastoise variants in my Kanto Pokédex, I had to go with this beautifully textured Blastoise VMAX for Gigantamax Blastoise.

Absolute tank. 😂 Those cannons make him look like he’s ready to level a city.

Do we get a Mega Blastoise SIR before this block ends??? 👀

Either way, this gorgeous XY Evolutions full art is holding down the Mega Blastoise spot in my Kanto Pokédex binder. Still one of the cleanest Mega cards ever made. 💧🔥

Picking the Blastoise for my Kanto binder was brutal… Base Set? Dark Blastoise? 151 SIR? 👀

In the end, I went with one of the coolest Blastoise cards ever made - the Expedition era holo. That artwork is just too good. 💧🔥

A top tier artwork by Tomokazu Komiya and well deserving of the Charmeleon spot in the Kanto Pokedex binder!

Kanto Pokédex Binder No. 003 Variant Spotlight — Venusaur VMAX ✨

Focusing on the other Venusaur variant, I just chose the regular Venusaur VMAX for this spot. I will eventually replace it with the Chinese exclusive rainbow.

Kanto Pokédex Binder No. 003 Variant Spotlight — Mega Venusaur ✨

In case you didn't know, my Pokedex binder includes all variants, including Megas. I really love the design of the Mega full arts, with the silhouettes of the base form.

No. 003 in the Kanto Pokédex Binder… Venusaur. 🌿

Had to spotlight this Tag Team version. Seeing Venusaur paired with Celebi just makes the card feel even cooler. Such a fun way to rep a Kanto classic. Easily the best Venusaur card!

Kanto Pokédex Binder No. 001 - Bulbasaur 🌱

Starting the Kanto Pokédex Binder where it all begins… No. 001, Bulbasaur. 🌱 Had to spotlight this classic e-Reader era artwork; so much early-2000s Pokémon nostalgia packed into one card.
