The Pokemon game suffers from the same fundamental problem that Yugioh has when it comes to balance, and of the biggest tcgs it's probably the most shallow, but I will say that they're one of the few games where I see them go out of their way to make their special cards look like they're really special. As a default, not as a promo or anything like that.
Holofoils don't cut it anymore.

One year they made a thing of giant double card monsters, where you literally stacked two cards on top of each other. Stupid idea or not, it looks cool.
