The Pokemon TCG community is loving the newly revealed Secret Art Rare and Art Rare cards from Temporal Forces with praise being heaped on their fantastic designs.

Loads of newly revealed Pokemon TCG cards from the Japanese Wild Force and Cyber Judge sets are receiving heaps of praise. The sets will launch in Japan on January 26th, and their artwork will make up the Western version of the expansion to Scarlet and Violet, Temporal Forces.

Fans have expressed their love for whimsical artworks like what’s seen on Drampa’s latest card, which gave one fan “Falkor vibes from Neverending Story.”

Fans praise new Temporal Forces Pokemon TCG cards

Pokemon TCG ended 2023 with stunning new artwork from a range of new and long-time contributing artists.

It looks like 2024 will be another good year for the company. New artists like Mékayu have joined the ranks of N-Design Inc.Shibuzoh, and Susumu Maeya to give the community even more fabulous designs.

The artworks are so good that they’ve even changed some collector’s minds with one fan saying they were “never a big fan of the reveal of Temporal Forces,” and that they didn’t like the “Paradox Legends,” but found the Drampa and Snom cards “lovely” and hoped the remaining cards would be “just as good.”

Even people who are new to Pokemon loved the cards too commenting, “Idk the names of the Pokémon, but I love both the deer ones!” said one of Sawsbuck and Deerling.

Others couldn’t get enough of the designs replying, “The Snom, Morty, and Drampa cards are amazing,” and “The quality of art in this and temporal has been tippity-top tier.”

Most of the cards from Wild Force and Cyber Judge have been released in these latest reveals. The remaining secret art rares from the set are expected to be released along with translations as early as January 22.
