She’s collecting every Pokémon hole card, and no one can stop her

The Pokémon Company cursed the world with the Pokémon TCG: Diamond & Pearl expansion and the Bonsly card back in 2007. In it, the Gen 4 rock-type is depicted by the illustrator Midori Harada in a, shall we say, compromising position. Here, the predecessor to Sudowoodo can be seen knocked over and crying. Don’t be fooled, though. As its move Fake Tears suggests, Bonsly is trying to manipulate their opponent’s emotions in the hopes of decreasing their attack. Memorable card, no? Electroacoustic harpist Emily Hopkins certainly thinks so. And she’s got a binder with 305 Bonsly cards to prove it.
