Definitely ancient. My inner child that’s obsessed with dinosaurs compels me! Walking wake is basically a velociraptor lol.
Future cards! My kid saw the decklists in Japan for future box and was immediately writing down matchup ideas for it. Seeing the future box decks (and card arts) really inspired his love of the pokemon TCG all over again. So, as a mom, seeing him love something means I love it too. He would absolutely be over the moon to win the first booster box he’s ever owned and to be able to use the cards to build out his Worlds Championship deck for Hawaii. He started playing the TCG just a couple months before earning his first world’s invite.
Unpopular opinion but i prefer the Future ones. Not only is the aesthetic much more appealing, but the Pokemon they chose to do future mons for are also much cooler. Hariyama, Tyranitar, Hydreigon, a freaking Gardevoir and Gallade fusion.
I do like the look of the future cards, but I do love how sinister and natural the ancient cards look, so ancient for me!
I like the art style of the ancient cards. Especially the way the trainer cards look with the sandstone motif.
The art style of the future cards are so eye catching and the pokemon themselves look super gnarly, FUTURE ALL THE WAY🔮
I'm definitely an ancient fan. Cybernetic or futuristic aesthetic was never really my thing. I'm all about that nature and dinosaur vibe. In a way it reminds me of those clone pokemon Mewtwo made in the first movie also.
I like how the design of the ancients looks more than the future. I still think the future cards look cool but like how it blends in more with the ancient cards.
I am a future fan, but I think some of the ancients have really cool designs and art. But also the backgrounds on the full art future cards is gorgeous
Came here after being in your whatnot stream. Love all your content and everyone involved with hilltop! Ancients are my favorite but iron crown looks so good!
I would definitely say ancient because I've always loved dinosaurs and the johto beasts really follow that aesthetic. With that said I really do like the future designs though too
You have to go Future. The best is always ahead so long as you keep chasing it!
Ancient all the way man i love how theyre just pre evolutions and theyre always so menacing.
Team Ancient 100%!!! Personally I love the prehistoric look of the Ancient Pokémon, but I will say the futuristic/ spacey element of future cards do have a certain sleek appeal to them.
Ancient for sure! I just love the naming that they have used for ancient
Always have been a fan of the future paradox pokemon. They stand out more in my opinion, but also like how they're making the ancient pokemon look like dinosaurs. Tough choice but I will go with the future pokemon
I like future more, mainly because I’m a huge fan of robot looking things
Future is pretty sweet, artworks remind me of cyberpunk edge runners.
Big fan of the Ancient pokemon. At launch of the Gen 9 era I preferred the future pokemon but I really like Walking Wake and Gouging Fire's design.
Ancient fan here! If you like to hit your opponents hard, you'll love the power of Ancient Pokémon. These Pokémon have high HP and are equipped with strong, high-cost attacks.
I’m repping team ancient due to my age 😮💨
Oh man do I ever love Pokémon card, Tex Hilltop Tcg Bot 🤖
Ancient fan all the way!!! Love the way the cards interact with each other, and their use outside of the meta, like Earthen Vessel, that has a place in any competitive deck imo. I was dishing my spare Earthen Vessels out like candy last tuesday in store ha ha
Future fan here. I’m with you on the art styles.
I'm a team ancient person, I've always loved mythical stuff and all that nerdy Lord of the Rings type stuff, and they give of a similar mythological vibe which I absolutely love!
sick video man, huge future guy over here!!!! love the pulls and keep it up
Ancient🔮 In my own world I feel like I’m seeing Pokemon BEFORE Pokemon
I know many writers and philosophers over the years, tell us something along the lines of: "Don't dwell on the past (ancient), and don't dream of the future." But when it comes to this set, I'm most certainly focusing on pulling some ancient and future hits!
Love your work. It inspire us. I'll have to go with Ancient - love the artwork and colours.
I can’t believe you hit Gengar on the first pack! Definitely a future fan here. The artwork just has a little extra something, more science fantasy to me.
Ancient and I have always been fascinated by dinosaurs ever since I was a child. Their immense size, mysterious extinction, and the incredible diversity of species never fail to captivate my imagination. From the towering Tyrannosaurus rex to the graceful Triceratops, each dinosaur represents a piece of Earth's ancient history that I find endlessly intriguing. Learning about their behaviors, environments, and the scientific discoveries that continue to unravel their mysteries only deepens my love for these magnificent creatures. Whether through documentaries, museums, or simply imagining their world millions of years ago, my passion for dinosaurs remains unwavering, sparking joy and wonder within me with every new encounter. thats why i really love the Ancient pokemon they look like POKEDINOs
Future, they did some of the ancient so dirty
The gengar full art right off the rip! That's nuts! I'm a fan of the future cards. I think they stepped them up like crazy!
Ancient Fan! Walking Wake is such an amazing design and I love the box art on the ETB. Additionally I have a soft spot for Suicune because Pokemon Crystal was my most played game as a kid. I can't tell you how many road trips I took at night trying to play the game with only the road lights on my Game Boy Color. I have passed the Pokemon obsession to my three kids!
Ancient fan! I love Koraidon and how tribal he looks! I love the fact that they are a "what if" in the world of pokemon and how the professors think the pokemon looked like in ancient times!
I like the ancient because of the little ancient wispies. Also, we just pulled a double banger illustration rare + regular ex double rare, so it's looking like double bangers are definitely a thing in Temporal Forces.
I really love the ancient artworks as they bring back nostalgic memories of trading cards but I also do love the full art cards from the recent sets. Team ancient!
Love your comparisons. Thanks!
I played violet and still would say Ancient is my favorite! Better designs on the pokemon and they are playable!
I’m all about Future Pokémon, I love technology in my real life, hobbies, and work.
Future is where it’s at: I’m looking forward to playing the Future Box deck as soon as it’s legal. Shows some strong promise if played right.
I am 100%Team Ancient. Ever since Scarlet and Violet the idea of how Pokemon changed since their past species excites me. I’m fascinated by ancient animals. My favorite ancient Pokemon are Roaring Moon and Walking Wake. Even though I’m not a huge fan of futuristic Pokemon, the kid's Pokemon TCG club I run at my local game store, loves the futuristic Pokemon. The majority’s favorites include Iron Thorns and Iron Valiant.
I’m a fan of future myself, and it’s cool how Pokémon started teasing the ancient and future arts all the back with the Koriadon and Miriadon SIRs and ETB promos in ScVi base before ancient and future was a for sure thing (which I liked both miriadon arts better lol)
I love the future pokemon. I think the artwork on them is so great
Even though I bought the future version of the Nintendo switch game I’ve been liking how the ancient Pokemon look specifically gauging fire. The SIR for that Pokemon looks so sick.
I enjoy both! Raging Bolt and Iron Crown SARs are pretty incredible… definitely depends on the card!
Future for me. The future deck reminds me of the team plasma deck from back in the day. I can’t wait to try it out.
Future surely, tried the new baby miraidon in my recent Pre-release event and I gotta say that "Peak Acceleration" attack really got me excited to start building my future box deck !
I feel like Momma Hilltop should be in all early release videos. Her energy to seeing new cards is the best. Great pulls either way :) I don’t care either way for future or ancient. I’ll always be an OG fan. Like that Gengar is neither and it’s the best card you pulled looks wise.
def an acient fan! love that pokemon goes back in time and show's how they were back in the day!
100% Ancient! Always loved the ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, and there is something in those ancient Pokemon that seems, like they could easily be in the mythology of all those ancient civilizations ❤
Funny enough, Pokemon always experimented with colored borders. I'm not sure I have all the examples but back in HGSS we had those cool japanese looking borders and in BW we had the team plasma cards which were blue borders. and in Sun Moon we have prism cards which had BLACK borders even GX cards had a special looking border. Full arts and big hits have silver borders and of course there are rainbow and gold cards. I'm not sure if I want them to do more of that lol, they seem to be doing enough and I love it. ALSO yeah, I've been on team Ancient Pokémon since day ONE just something about that primal wacky very colorful design I just love. Also Scarlet is like my favorite color. Though Iron Moth is probably my favorite Paradox, it grew on me so much.
Even though people kinda dog on the futures for just being “the same pokemon but robot” I personally love how they stick to the themes of technological advancement by being smaller/more compact. Also their lore is goofier than the ancient mons, even though that lore often makes no sense it’s at least more entertaining.
I’m an ancient fan.. I’m a 90s baby so the classic Pokémon always bring a deep feeling of nostalgia especially now since I started collecting again.. I’ve been going Paldean Fates crazy trying to complete my master set and I just got my first 151 ETB 🙌
love the artwork in this set im chasing or buying both fancy gengars and im done. I feel like i have to penny pinch for each set coming out so fast
Future pokemon for sure. I love how cool the digital effects are on those future cards, cant wait to get my hands on some of them !
Love what you guys do! Will be in the shop Friday to get some temporal forces.
Team Future all day!! Have a passion for space and the possibility of future technology.
Going for Future Box. Not only for the art but the potential it has for TCG. Jussst need time to adjust to the cards.
Love the Future ones! The background of those just speaks to me.
Great opening! I'm an ancient fan living in the present, loving and trying to pull future cards 👌
I like the ancient cards, it brings me back to my childhood. Futures are tough too! I like to feel young still with ancient pulls lol
Yo Nick, enjoy the content as usual. I lean towards the future art style since I enjoy the sci-fi/neon integration. Can’t wait for this set to release!
Interesting that you're a future fan. I think most people are Ancient fans, including myself
Hard to pick but Future is my favorite. This set has quickly grown on me now that it's released.
I may have played Scarlet with all of the ancient pokemon but I dig the look of the future pokemon wayyyy more! Iron Crown is my chase for this set 🎉
Ancient Pokemon are the way to go, personally, I just think their designs are so much cooler and much more creative! Don't get me wrong, future Pokemon look tight but they're more or less just robotic/electronic versions of the original pokemon, whereas ancient Pokemon are significantly more different and unique in design! :)
I am a huge Future fan! I like how fast the deck can setup with the new miraidon and iron crown EX. Cant wait to get my hands on them when they are fully released !
Just started the game and loving the ancient new roaring moon!!
I liked the ancient Pokemon more in the main series game but I hope the future Pokemon archetype gets more support in the TCG, because the technical play is really appealing
Support the local store selling here in Iceland for 170 USD a Temporal Forces Booster Box.... Awesome!!!
Lets gooo! This set looks awesome. First pack magic ftw!! I think I prefer the future artworks over ancient cards - I do enjoy both though!
loving ancient as i am a fan of walking wake!
Really like Ancient!! The floating half plate and the tall boy is really wacky but their abilities and power are OUT OF THE ROOF !!
Id have to go fun team future!! Ancient is really fun too but future for me!
I mean, they gave iron bundle a dang death ray disguised as their bundle!
Future! The naming convention aside they're really cool looking and the way the future decks are looking seems really interesting
Definitely team future! Love seeing the ancient and future cards developed further in this set.
Since Miraidon came out of the gate with a top tier deck, I'll go with future. The ancient artwork is awesome, though.
Future is really cool. Especially with the art, I like the futuristic look of the old pokemons.
Future fam! Unreal you pulled my chase card of the set in the first pack! Hopefully the other box has the same luck
I prefer Future, but I think what does it for me is seeing the contrast of both Ancient and Future side by side. It’s those little nuances in the character design, for example Great Tusk / Iron Treads. Just works
The Gengar full art looks amazing! ❤
Future Pokemon all the way. It makes more sense in a way that something involving metals or electronics would effect all pokemon. Plus seeing my dog trio looking so......special in dinosaur form makes me want to cry. :P
Team Ancient! I love the way those ancient gold cards look compared to the future in the set. Also my chase is SIR Eri because it’s got my boy Lucario in the back
Ancient fan here for sure!!! Love the designs of the ancient mons and that roaring moon🔥🔥🔥
Ancient looks like it will make a pretty strong and fun to play deck so I am on board with the ancient cards.
Team Both here!
Every card is beautiful.
Every card is special.
Value to me is irrelevant. It’s all about the collection and the artwork.
loving the future artworks!
I am old and I feel ancient hahah
Ancient fan because of the Jurassic park nostalgia. Nick for president 2024!!🎉🎉
Ancient ! Roaring moon is what got me into playing the TCG , Won my first ever tournament playing moon
Future! I like the modern/futuristic artwork 🤩
Great video mate this set looks amazing my favourite is Future for sure love the artworks on all the new versions of some great pokemon 😊
I love that Set, im a huge gengar fan and even have a tattoo!
Great Video as always, greetings from Germany! ❤️🔥
I'm a future fan but I love them both! Future just look so much cooler to me and look more tough💪🏼🔥👊🏼 The colors are awesome in the future designs as well!
I was always fascinated, even as a child, by Ancient times. Let others worship the Future while I join those to learn more about the Ancient as they lock the secrets to the Present 🎉🎉🎉
I'm an ancient fan! While future is a really cool gimmick, their designs feel relatively similar compared to the variation found in ancients. Flutter mane has gotta be one of my favorites, though Raging Bolt is a close second. For future pokemon, Virizion is probably my favorite wirh Iron Leaves, and Cobalion a second as Iron Crown.
Thanks so much for all you do man, I love this channel's videos.
Hi, ancient fan here! really love the caveman/ancient designs and the names are better than the future ones :p
Any set with alt arts and illustration rares featuring MULTIPLE POKEMON is a winner in my book 😋 value for money, especially considering what they (normally) cost! My fav... Roaring Moon ex 🖤 paradox, ancient, keep pumping these out pokemon... Giv the ppl what they want!! Please!!! 🙏
Ancient here, but I would prefer Future if the cards were better.
Ancient fan, because the artwork has a prehistoric feel. It reminds me of land before time lol.
Both the ancient and future cards look good but i picked scarlet over violet so i slightly prefer ancient! :)
