Sevenut Sucks

I'm not particularly attached to the cracked ice pattern, it would just be a nice addition to all the other Holo patterns.

Open letter to the Pokemon Company: Give us a cracked ice holo Clefairy (or Cleffa or Clefable), please and thank you.

Next Smash game's hype cycle is gonna suck hard because all the fake leaks are going to be AI generated instead of photoshopped or 3D modeled.

Kinda hit me the other day, but I've literally never lived in a time of economic stability, which is pretty crazy. Not really a unique thought, but yeah

Almost forgot about this bad boy. Clefairy ex from Flight of Legends, which is the Japanese version of EX FireRed and LeafGreen. Fun fact: Gen 3 ex cards are the same mechanic as Gen 9 ex cards, but not the same as Gen 5/6 EX cards. Fucked up, right?

Clefairy update 10: Cool stuff today. Here's one from an old Japanese vending machine sheet. It's glossy like a photo. It is now the oldest Clefairy TCG card I own.

Clefairy Santizo Editores Manga card. I don't know much about these other than they are official, they're from the 90s, and they're from Spain. No clue if there's also a Clefable or anything like that. They're also the size of Topps cards, which is cool.

Playing cards. They're some sort of tie in with Pokemon Red and Green. These were actually my impetus for also collecting non-TCG stuff. I thought it would be silly to just have playing cards.

Pokemon Kid's mini cards. These ones were also made by Bandai. They were distributed in blind box bundles with a piece of candy and a toy. They actually still make Pokemon Kid's blind boxes to this day. Strangely enough, the newer stuff is harder to find documented.

Carddass Series 3/4 Clefable. Carddass are vending machine cards by Bandai. They are some of the first Pokemon cards to ever exist. I don't think they're actually the first ones, since I think there are other super obscure ones that came earlier.

Clefable from Pokemon Classic. I think this is the most reprinted art in the TCG.

HGSS holo Clefable. I have the reverse holo, but now I have the regular holo, too. There is no non-holo version of this one, I'm pretty sure.

Base Set 2 Clefable. Have you noticed how this Clefable art gives it little grooves like bunny ears would have to show the inner part of the ear? Weird.

I think Japanese people actually like to collect, while a lot of westerners are just there to take advantage of the collectors' market. It sucks and I wish people would just be more transparent/realistic about what they got.

Everything

The Japanese perception of "lightly played" is fucked up because to them, it's basically immaculate. While here in the US, light play can be anywhere between pretty okay to hanging on by a thread. I hate it.

That's good to hear. Glad it's nothing serious.

Pokemon picnic scene with a Clefairy on it. Also a Navarette sticker. This one is pretty cute. It's split between two cards, as you can see. This means Charmander gets an extra long foot.

Clefairy y Pikachu. They're best friends.
Also a Navarette sticker.

Navarette Cleffa sticker. I mentioned that these are from Peru and are probably licensed. What's annoying is that they're smaller than Topps cards, but larger than Merlin cards. I bought small sized sleeves for the Merlin cards and a few others. Kinda annoying.

Clefairy. Rebel Clash. Nonholo. It's pretty alright.

Lillie's Poke Doll. Secret Rare. Cosmic Eclipse. I've never had one of these golden full art trainer cards, so counting Lillie's Poke Doll as a Clefairy was a good enough excuse.

Lillie's Poké Doll. Reverse Holo. Cosmic Eclipse. It's called Lillie's Pipi (Clefairy) Doll in Japan, so it counts.

Guardians Rising Clefairy. It slaps. It beckons. What more could you want?

The barcode card that came with it. Figured I would keep it and throw it in with my non-TCG cards because it would be funny.

Clefairy Toys R Us Generations release promo. Love my cards plastered with the logos of retailers. Especially if they're dead retailers. There's a UK variant of this with a 25th anniversary stamp instead of a store logo. If any of my UK friends got one, let me know.

Clefairy. Break Point. There's a Hypno card in this set showing the Hypno hypnotizing Clefairy. Poor guy.

Clefairy. Also Furious Fists. This is how they released that one promo that came with the Xerneas half deck in the west.

Furious Fists Clefairy. Reverse Holo. Remember the Fairy type? That was a pretty short lived stint.
