Absolutely, Japanese Pokemon cards have a unique feel to them compared to the English versions. The card stock is different, giving them a distinct texture and rigidity. For collectors and players alike, this can make Japanese cards feel more premium. Plus, the printing quality is often considered superior, making the artwork pop a bit more!

I mean, sure, they're a bit different if you're really into that stuff. But at the end of the day, a card's a card. Just play and have fun, ya know?

As someone who collects both, yes, Japanese Pokemon cards definitely feel different. The card material is slightly thicker and the finish is smoother. It's like the difference between standard and high-quality paper. If you're into collecting, this subtle difference is pretty cool.
