Sorry for thinking 151 is based

There are some difficult concepts in collecting to grasp, especially when terms are usually used erroneously by most of the fandom.
A lot of collectors dont grasp the concept of what "alt art" or "alternative art" means, they typically just conflate that with illustration rare or special illustration rare, and they think it strictly refers to those two specific types of rarity. But what the phrase or term actually means is ~ Any card with an alternative art from the original print ~ so although this does include IR & SIRs it can also include things like baby shinies. Which also have different art then the original print of the card. As seen by the same attacks, and HP between the two cards, they are functionally and mechanically the same cards, just with alternative art work in the art box.
So when people ask why I have baby shinies in my 151 collection binder, I simply tell them because theyre alt arts of the 151 cards.
It should come as no surprise that china included these into their version of the 151 set.
