No cheating, post the last pic of you pet

Your Appletun is in good company

Honestly, I almost (key word almost) prefer it over the alternate art vmax from the same set
But they're both just so good

Litwock! My beloved candle ghost! You're so flipping cute and I adore your whole evo line.
Gay Chandelure. Enough said

Gods, this Ninetales is gorgeous. Like a damn painting of a folk tale, it is. And the framing achieved by the tree trunks! Love it.

Alola has done to tier pokemon, for sure. High up on the list is the snowy variant of Vulpix. Don't tell the fire Vulpix (also a beloved pokemon), but I like the cold more.

My girl, Brionne! Pokemon company did you dirty, only 2 freaking cards released for you T_T honestly, the while Popplio evo line had been the least favored of the Alolan starters and I'm miffed at that. I love my Popplio/Brionne/Primarina mermaid child and I need all the cards

Thankfully for my wallet and future collection plans, I don't any real nostalgia for Gen 1. But I knew a gorgeous piece of art when I see it, and this! Squirtle! Him walking in the surf, I adore it. Water scenes are among my favorite

Coming back to this with the final apple dragon, now with more heads! Such a flipping gorgeous illustration, this Hydrapple. And c'mon, my inner myth nerd kid is delighted by the hydra reference

Continuing with my apple dragons, now with Dipplin. I quit playing Shield before they released whatever DLC that introduced Dipplin. But a caramel apple pokemon? Made for me and my sweet tooth. And how do could not love this little apple running a festival booth in this card?

The legend!! The reason I love the Applin evolution line so much, Appletun. My precious apple pie dragon, who was a dang tank in my Shield game. I would boop their snoot

Apples apples all day long, now with flying dragon apples
Flapple, I might not have had you directly in my Shield game but you're joining me now. And what a gorgeous illustration this card is!

Continuing the tree theme, with a full art card featuring Applin! After playing Shield the whole dang Applin evolution line become a beloved favorite, mostly on account of another Pokemon I'll feature further down this thread.
But I gotta give my lil apple guys some love, they're just too cute

To start with: Trevenant V! Ghost pokemon are my pride and joy, and Trevenant simply has the best name. Tree revenent
Look at him, I wouldn't want to meet him alone in the forest

What's up, internet, im flabbergasted over this Pikachu card I got in a Surging Sparks booster pack this evening
