gradient [art_style]

5d ago · Proposed by misty_fan99

Description: Card art with a smooth color-gradient backdrop or character shading (flat or radial), without representational depth. Common on Scarlet & Violet promo full arts.

Rationale: Several Scarlet & Violet promo full arts use a flat-gradient stylized look that doesn't fit 'oil-paint', 'neon', or '3d'. Adding 'gradient' gives a clear home for that aesthetic alongside the existing art_style tags.

psychic [other]

9d ago · Proposed by brock_pewter2000

Rationale: Pokémon types are already filterable elsewhere on the site — 'psychic' as a visual tag duplicates that. Only 12 cards have it, all of which have better visual descriptors (purple, glowing, abstract-background, etc.).

night [time_of_day] → nighttime [time_of_day]

12d ago · Proposed by lt_surge_x2

Rationale: Same concept under two suffixes. 'nighttime' has 1,051 cards vs 'night' at 296 — folding into the canonical form matches the daytime / nighttime / sunset naming pattern across this category.

outdoor: other → location

15d ago · Proposed by erika_celadon04

Rationale: Currently buried in 'other' (114 cards) but it's clearly a setting descriptor. Moving it into 'location' surfaces it alongside 'forest', 'meadow', and 'beach' where people browse for setting tags.

trainer [object]

17d ago · Proposed by sabrina_2k3

Description: Card art depicts a human trainer alongside the featured Pokémon (Trainer Gallery cards, full-art Supporters, TG-style illustrations). For specific named trainers, use the trainer_name category instead.

Rationale: Most-tagged tag in 'object' (1,481 cards) but with no description, contributors keep tagging any background human. A clear definition reins it in and points people to trainer_name for named figures.

coffee [object]

9d ago · Proposed by mutantbrotherhood

Description: Features coffee or a coffee cup on the card.

Rationale: Interesting feature shown on both Pokemon and trainer cards. Examples include: Oranguru CHR from VMAX Climax / Brilliant Stars tg12/tg30 Morty’s Conviction 211/162 Detective Pikachu SM199 Jacq 250/198 Gardevoir ex 255/…

sakura [object]

46d ago · Proposed by wanderingpines

Description: Cards containing sakura blossoms/cherry blossoms

Rationale: There are quite a few cards featuring cherry blossom trees. While these could fit into the spring category, there are enough of them to justify their own category. I made a binder page with some examples and wrote a few…

water [location]

55d ago · Proposed by thunderfew

Description: Cards containing a body of water, water splashes, or water droplets.

Rationale: There are tags for specific bodies of water like lakes and ponds, but it isn't always obvious how water in a card should be labeled. Also, it would be nice to have an overall water tag instead of limiting to lake, etc. A…
