Collector note

With only 12 cards and 12 different illustrators, the set is easy to complete while still offering variety in rendering and tone. Pikachu (mcd19-6) is the primary value reference among the priced cards, with the rest forming a relatively even spread.

Visual identity

The visual language is bright and approachable: vibrant palettes across every card, frequent cartoonish and playful styling, and compositions that stay simple and character-focused. Most images rely on clean silhouettes, balanced framing, and cheerful, lighthearted moods, occasionally shifting into more dynamic poses or a slightly whimsical beat.

About McDonald's Collection 2019

McDonald's Collection 2019 is a tightly edited 12-card release made entirely of Pokémon cards, with no Trainers or Energy. Each Pokémon appears once, and each illustration is credited to a different artist, giving the set a gallery-like structure despite its small size. Across the lineup, the dominant look is cartoonish and playful, with consistently vibrant color and straightforward staging that keeps attention on the featured character.

The set’s highlights lean into clarity and charm: Lapras (mcd19-5) reads as a clean, inviting centerpiece, while Alolan Dugtrio (mcd19-11) brings a more whimsical note through expression and timing. Pikachu (mcd19-6) stands out as both a visual anchor and the set’s key collector reference point. Overall, the art direction favors lighthearted moods, simple layouts, and energetic pops of color over dense backgrounds or complex scene-building.

Illustrators

The set’s one-card-per-artist structure makes individual voices easy to spot; among the credited names, Mitsuhiro Arita, Kagemaru Himeno, Saya Tsuruta, and Atsuko Nishida provide a useful cross-section of approaches, from crisp character presentation to softer, more playful rendering.
