Because Pokemon Cards are SRS BZNS

This post is not to rant, nor is it for me to share with my readers some opinion or another that I have. No. This post is for something much more serious. It is for posterity.

You see, there is this goal I have of collecting a whole bunch of Pokemon cards. Specifically, to collect at least one card for every single one of the creatures, currently at the count of 493, as well as a single card for each of the creatures special Formes, bringing the count to somewhere over 500. Well, I'm posting this to make note of all the cards I don't have, as that is a much smaller list than all the cards that I do. As said, this is mostly because I want to be able to look back at this in the future and see my progress. It's also sort of to brag. So, without further ado, here are all the Pokemon and Formes that I don't have a card of:

And that's it! Well, unless you want to count specific Arceus Formes, but I don't. That's actual a longer list than I really expected! Oh well. No big deal, I'll collect as I go! And I believe I notice a blatant pattern... here's a hint: I don't have a lot of the rare Pokemon cards in comparison to commons! Also, I started collecting like this recently, so most of my cards are EX series and newer. So yeah!

I would also like to use this space to say that I officially have two Shiny cards (not Holo, Shiny), both obtained just recently! This is a big thing for me, as one of my biggest wishes in getting the cards was for a Shiny, and now I have two, one of one of my favorite Pokemon! I guess this is some of the bragging part, huh? Well, they're a Shiny Shinx and a Shiny Drifloon and I keep the two of them at the very end of my collection, in a special page just for them. Yay.
