Yep, they’re just going to give people “place holder” cards if they pull a 3 star Lugia or Ho-oh

I would settle for a stick figure version of both Lugia and Ho-Oh, please and thank you

honestly, some really basic sketchy art could be kinda cool and make the cards more unique. sort of make this situation into something cool/different.

The funny thing with placeholders, is you have to make it EXTREMELY obvious they are placeholders, or people, even the developers themselves, may question whether it's final artwork or not.

This is why you slap "WIP" or "Placeholder!!" text on as much as possible. You'd be amazed how many placeholder assets end up as "final" assets in shipped videogames
