Pokémon TCG: What Champion's Path Could Have Been

When Champion's Path was announced, The Pokémon Company advertised the set as a Journey through the Galar region where we would challenge Gym Leaders, and would contain cards featuring the Gym Leaders from the Sword and Shield Video Games.

Unfortunately the set let most people down, and in my opinion fell short of meeting their goal. The set felt weak and if it wasn't for the inclusion of Shiny Charizard V from Shiny Star V it would most likely have fallen into obscurity as another lackluster set.

I've discussed during my Live Streams that if I had designed Champion's Path I would have focused it slightly differently. I think the set would have been better as an homage to the old Gym Heroes and VS sets where the cards are based around the Gym Leaders and Rivals Pokémon.

In addition most of the cards could have come from our Vivid Voltage as a lot of nice Trainer Full arts and cards featuring the Gym Leaders and their Pokémon could be used. Alternate art versions like the upcoming signed Trainer Cards. The Full Art Trainer cards could be something similar to what we saw in Cosmic Eclipse.

This would fit better with TCPI's statement of challenging the Gym Leaders to become Champion.
