No way, it’s Monday already? Well, I know what will make you smile even more today: Chimchar (18/114 ) from Steam Siege!
Yes, you heard that right. Steam Siege! Despite it being one of the least popular sets ever made, it has really nice cards in it with strong concepts that align beautifully with the theme. I never really understood why exactly Steam Siege was (and perhaps still is) such an unpopular set.
Let’s talk about the Chimchar-card now, and why this card makes me happy. What I absolutely adore on this card is the fact that Chimchar holds a gear in his mouth. It looks so innocent, but it literally took apart something that looks like a futuristic clock tower! We could argue that Chimchar didn’t do it, but let’s be real. No other Pokémon is in the frame, and Chimchar is known to be a silly fire monkey.
Shibozoh.’s artstyle also matches the cuteness of Chimchar. The blue sky has a nice contrast with the warm tones on the card itself, and if we look at the facial expression of Chimchar, we can feel his silliness just like that!
