McDonald's Collection 2017 is a tightly edited 12-card set, composed exclusively of Pokémon cards with no Trainers or Energy. Each card features a different Pokémon, creating a clean, one-per-character lineup that reads more like a small gallery wall than a checklist. With 12 Pokémon represented and eight illustrators contributing, the set’s structure emphasizes variety within a fixed, approachable scale.
Artist distribution shapes the set’s identity: Megumi Mizutani contributes three illustrations, while Shin Nagasawa and Akira Komayama add two each, establishing a clear core of recurring hands. The remaining cards are single contributions, giving the selection a rotating finish across the roster, from Pikachu to Rowlet and Litten. Without style or mood tags provided, the most reliable way to read the set visually is through its multi-artist construction—an ensemble of distinct illustration voices contained within a concise, uniform format.
Megumi Mizutani leads the set with three cards, followed by Shin Nagasawa and Akira Komayama with two each, forming the clearest throughline across the 12-card selection. The remaining single-card contributions broaden the set’s range while keeping the focus on a small, readable roster of artists.
